Changes for version 5.28 - 2010-10-13

  • due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't actually used in tcp_server.
  • implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but missing.
  • support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
  • AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently, resulting in more informative error messages.
  • new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
  • clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
  • put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory, and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections of AnyEvent::TLS.
  • support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as requested by Ron Isaacson.
  • document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
  • incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
  • AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
  • add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util, undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
