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

Changes for version 5.29 - 2010-12-05

  • convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
  • AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
  • add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
  • work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
  • reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
  • wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
  • document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
  • detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
  • include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent as part of the perl core.
  • improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
  • make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a minimal perl...).
