Changes for version 7.0 - 2012-04-13

  • child watchers are broken in POE 1.352 (also many earlier versions) and there seems to be no way to work around it, as POE itself is inherently racy. Document this regression and add a delay in t/68_poe_03_child.t for the time being.
  • new module AnyEvent::IO, that is a frontend to either a pure-perl synchronous I/O implementation (AnyEvent::IO::Perl), or to the asynchronous I/O extension IO::AIO (AnyEvent::IO::IOAIO).
  • load /etc/hosts only when DNS has no answer.
  • stat /etc/hosts on every access and reload it if it changed.
  • load /etc/hosts via AnyEvent::IO - potentially asynchronous.
  • fix a buggy croak in the dh parameter rsading in AnyEvent::TLS.
  • AnyEvent::Log log_to_file and log_to_path now use AnyEvent::IO. As a side effect, they now use true appending as opposed to libc appending, and the file might not have been opened when the function returns.
  • the default logging level was not properly documented in a variety of places, this has hopefully been rectified.
  • updated uts46data.pl for unicode 6.1.0.
  • made log messages genearted by AnyEvent submodules not include the package name anymore, as it will be logged by default already.
  • upgrade to the trick used by common-sense 3.5 to work around extra warning torture/breakage under perl 5.15.x.
  • log messages by anyevent are now ucfirst, are usually full sentences and do no longer include the package name.
  • the storable read type would sometimes throw an exception instead of causing EBADMSG (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
  • work around a bug in openssl 1.0.1 which enforces a minimum rsa keysize (reported by Paul Howarth).
  • documented Rocco fabricating statements about AnyEvent and me.
