Changes for version 5.3 - 2010-12-31

  • major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including the availabilty of a default loop!
  • implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
  • added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
  • the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
  • clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
  • set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd, to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
  • try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
