-- update to 5.271
-  - backport to perl 5.8.x.
-- 5.27   Sun Jun  6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
-  - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
-    when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
-    (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
-  - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
-    clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
-  - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
-  - better/more condvar examples.

 %description
-AnyEvent provides an identical interface to multiple event loops. This
-allows module authors to utilise an event loop without forcing module users
-to use the same event loop (as only a single event loop can coexist
-peacefully at any one time).
+Glib, POE, IO::Async, Event... CPAN offers event models by the dozen nowadays. So what is different about AnyEvent?
 
-The interface itself is vaguely similar, but not identical to the Event
-module.
+Executive Summary: AnyEvent is compatible, AnyEvent is free of policy and AnyEvent is small and efficient.
 
-  Author:       Marc Lehmann <schmorp@schmorp.de>
+First and foremost, AnyEvent is not an event model itself, it only interfaces
+to whatever event model the main program happens to use, in a pragmatic way.
+For event models and certain classes of immortals alike, the statement "there
+can only be one" is a bitter reality: In general, only one event loop can be
+active at the same time in a process. AnyEvent cannot change this, but it can
+hide the differences between those event loops.
