Changes for version 4.8 - 2009-07-06
- AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with uppercase targets.
- AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses, causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
- added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context creation, with many options including hostname verification, secure default configuration, lots of documentation and, predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
- use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
- load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS, so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint in the common case.
- add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
- add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
- add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
- make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case from the constructor.
- AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first, then fall back to JSON.
- format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry, and because it was documented that way.
