The London Perl and Raku Workshop takes place on 26th Oct 2024. If your company depends on Perl, please consider sponsoring and/or attending.

Changes for version 4.9 - 2009-08-01

  • Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with a negative value, so avoid that.
  • call condvar callback immediately when it is set after the condition is already signalled.
  • check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume data.
  • normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
  • pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused any issues).
  • new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
  • AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified by name (not name or number).
  • reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by only compiling signal code when necessary.
  • add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
  • grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for said future/alternative API.
  • new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
