Changes  view on Meta::CPAN

        - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
          missing.
        - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
        - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
          resulting in more informative error messages.
        - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
	- clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
        - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
          and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
          of AnyEvent::TLS.
        - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
          requested by Ron Isaacson.
        - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
        - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
        - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
        - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
          undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.

5.271  Tue Jun  8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
	- backport to perl 5.8.x.

5.27   Sun Jun  6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
	- postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
          when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
          (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
	- explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
          clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
	- simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
        - better/more condvar examples.

5.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
	- AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
          time (found by Andy Grundman).

5.26  Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
	- don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
          returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
          by Bas Denissen).
        - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
        - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
          EV and Perl backends.
        - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
          backends.
        - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
          never documented nor universally supported).
        - some more memory µ-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
          code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.

5.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
        - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
          5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
          so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.

5.25  Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
	- fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
          a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
          ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
        - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
	- speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
        - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
          by lucky accident on win32.
        - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
        - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
          did not fall back to built-in time properly.
        - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
        - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
          detection and eval.
        - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
        - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
          (same algorithm as EV).
        - update unicode idna mapping table.

5.24  Tue Jan  5 11:39:43 CET 2010
	- cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
          you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
          just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
	- improve idle watcher documentation slightly.

5.23  Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
	- support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
        - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
          idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
	- provide $AE::VERSION.
        - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".

5.22  Sat Dec  5 03:51:13 CET 2009
	- downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
          diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
          (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
          when passing scalar data to extensions).
        - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
        - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
        - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
          (John Beppu).
        - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
        - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
          we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
          fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.

5.21  Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
	- fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
          (spotted by David Friedland).
        - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
        - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
          unless you rip out everything but the core).
        - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
          uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.

5.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
	- AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
          (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
        - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
          newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
          sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).

5.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
	- AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
          (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
        - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
          (analysed by elmex).

Changes  view on Meta::CPAN

        - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
          but doesn't crash with many watchers.
	- declare Qt support non-experimental.
        - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
          kept alive.
        - document the race between loading of an event module and
          child processes exiting.
        - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
          enough, and darn slow).
        - support Wx and Prima through POE.
        - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
          of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
          select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
          faster than Event and Glib :).
        - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
          by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
          to other event loops where possible.

3.2  Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
	- do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
          in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
          for the same fh/poll combo).
        - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
	- implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
        - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
        - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
        - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.

3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
	- reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
        - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
          strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
        - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
          better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
        - do not send the signal to the process group
          (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).

3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
	- major documentation rework.
        - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
        - fix the child watcher example.

3.1  Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
	- work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
          only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
          don't get fixed anytime soon).
        - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
          (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
          such strong limits).
        - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
        - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
          unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
          any restrictions...).
        - add simple manpages for all backend modules.

3.0  Mon Apr  7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
	- Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
          up the Coro implementation in general.
        - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
        - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
          help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.

2.9  Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
	- update for EV 3.0 API changes.

2.8  Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
	- waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
          instead of reporting it to any watchers.

2.7  Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
	- force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
          too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
        - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
          or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
          watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
          (except when Event or EV are installed).

2.6  Fri Nov  9 20:36:35 CET 2007
	- fix bug in testsuite.
        - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
        - add Coro+EV adaptor module.

2.55 Tue Nov  6 17:41:32 CET 2007
	- add EV to the list of supported event models.
        - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
        - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.

2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
	- work around a perl bug that results in
          BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
          any discernible reason or error message by once
          again not use'ing strict.

2.53 Sun Jul  8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
	- make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).

2.52 Wed Mar  7 18:36:16 CET 2007
	- child watchers stopped working permanently when
          all current child watchers were destroyed.

2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
	- work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
          true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.

2.5  Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
	- avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
        - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
        - implement signal watchers (experimental)
          (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
          so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
        - implement child watchers (experimental).
        - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
          most implementation modules.

2.1  Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
	- better docs.
        - simple testsuite.
        - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.

2.0  Wed Nov  1 02:21:30 CET 2006
	- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
