The Perl Toolchain Summit needs more sponsors. If your company depends on Perl, please support this very important event.

Changes for version 4.85 - 2009-07-18

  • nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
  • take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
  • load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
  • add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent documentation.
  • reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty) by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
  • work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
  • improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
  • made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
