8 1.32 Wed 26 Jan 2022 17:42:30 CET
9 - new strategy for reaping children: as local $SIG{CHLD} will
10 reset rather than restore signal handlers, we try to reap
11 children manually in the fork server. This might cause zombies
12 to stay around for a long time in case there is a race and
13 no further activity, but perls signal handling is just too
14 broken to have other options.
15
16 1.31 Thu Nov 10 17:30:45 CET 2016
17 - new child API function, AnyEvent::Fork::Serve::run_args.
18 - put pid first in child names.
19
20 1.3 Thu May 12 18:53:37 CEST 2016
21 - the full path to the perl binary is now being passed as argv[0].
22 - talk a bit about using AnyEvent::Fork itself after a fork.
23 - work around perl 5.19 again breaking backwards compatibility.
24 - pod fixes.
25
26 1.2 Wed Sep 25 13:05:09 CEST 2013
27 - ->fork would not clone, but erase the arguments in the parent
28 (analyzed by Christopher Paulicka).
29 - mention AnyEvent::Fork::Remote, and how to be compatible to it
30 in the description of the run method.
31 - AnyEvent::Fork now sets a child watcher for direct children.
32 - clarify that one might need to set a child watcher.
33 - explicitly call exit on eof in children, to hide(!) win32 perl
34 bugs. at least the test suite doesn't complain anymore, but
35 the bug is doubtlessly still there.
36
37 1.1 Sun Apr 28 15:47:38 CEST 2013
38 - (hopefully) remove dependency on common::sense in child code.
39 - make dependency on IO::FDPass dynamic in child code.
40 - actually open "communications socket" for reading AND writing
41 in the child (this does not normally bother syswrite).
42 - allow perl path overriding in new_exec.
43
44 1.0 Sun Apr 21 14:05:33 CEST 2013
45 - implement new_from_fh and to_fh, for easy passing of
46 fork objects among processes (EXPERIMENTAL!).
47 - sabotage the fork object on run or to_fh.
48 - expliticly call exit in child server - not elegant, but
49 doesn't disturb any sane perl, and helps broken win32 perls
50 to clean up.
51 - the write watcher wasn't disabled on write errors.
52
53 0.7 Thu Apr 18 22:16:26 CEST 2013
54 - only set SIGCHLD to IGNORE while serving requests, reset
55 it to the previous value after ->run.
56 - minor docpatches.
57 - mention AnyEvent::Fork::RPC, but not yte AnyEvent::Fork::Pool.
58
59 0.6 Sun Apr 7 00:41:30 CEST 2013
60 - this release mostly updates the documentation.
61 - add fork+exec replacement example to SYNOPSIS.
62 - clarify some eval and run documentation.
63 - defuse the documentation a bit - split synopsis into
64 an example section, and rewor the problem statement.
65
66 0.5 Sat Apr 6 05:30:03 CEST 2013
67 - set $SIG{CHLD} to IGNORE in processes forked to avoid
68 accumulating zombies.
69 - added "typical problems" section.
70 - add some unscientific benchmark numbers to indicate relative
71 performance.
72 - post-benchmark socket writing optimisations :) (fewer syscalls,
73 do more than one write per event loop iteration).
74
75 0.2 Fri Apr 5 21:07:59 CEST 2013
76 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Fork::Template no longer exports
77 anything and has renamed the variable.
78 - do not leak the internal watcher as return value from run.
79 - set $0 to run function name, tune existing $0 names as well.
80 - work around a bug in openbsd file descriptor passing on at least
81 4.5 and 4.8. might introduce a security problem on that platform.
82 - switch to the new IO::FDPass module, which also fixes a bug
83 with setting non-blocking mode and gives other improvements.
84 - no longer an XS module.
85
86 0.01 Thu Apr 4 09:23:33 CEST 2013
87 - "technology preview".
88
89 0.00 Fri Mar 29 02:15:20 CET 2013
90 - post planning, pre writing.
