Changes for version 5.0 - 2009-08-09

  • officially introduce and document the AE API.
  • lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect in AnyEvent::Handle.
  • AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout settings.
  • probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids exporting the probe function).
  • Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation code to work around it's watcher limits.
  • work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
  • try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
  • do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
  • hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
  • inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
