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

Changes for version 5.25 - 2010-03-13

  • 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 (ame algorithm as EV).
  • update unicode idna mapping table.
