Took a while, but here it is, the AnyEvent-7.08 release candidate.

   http://data.plan9.de/AnyEvent-7.08.tar.gz

It mainly offers bugfixes, and a new contributed backend for the UV
module. Feedback on build issues &c. appreciated.

The Changes since 7.07 are:

        - work around a newly introduced bug in Socket 2.011 (an
          errornous sun_length check) (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
        - AnyEvent::TLS didn't load (but refer to) AnyEvent::Socket
          (analyzed by Ben Magistro).
        - AnyEvent::Strict will now confess, not croak. This is in line with
          it being a development/debugging tool.
        - work around a number of libglib bugs (debug builds of libglib enforce
          certain undocumented behaviour patterns such as not being able to
          remove a child watch source after it has fired, which we will try
          to emulate to avoid "criticals". what where they thinking...).
        - mention json security issues in AnyEvent::Handle, now that Douglas
          Crockford has foolishly and incompatibly changed JSON.
        - changed default dns resolver "max_outstanding" value from 1 to 10,
          the latter beinfg the intended value all along
          (reported by Ilya Chesnokov).
        - added new "AnyEvent::Impl::UV" interface module to the UV event lib
          (written by Mike Lowell).

Enjoy!
