1 root 1.1 Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2    
3 root 1.105 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and sue the info correctly.
4 root 1.104 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
5     support entirely.
6    
7 root 1.102 4.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008

9     error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
10 root 1.96 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
11 root 1.97 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
12 root 1.101 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
13 root 1.100 - updated documentation.

21 root 1.96
22 root 1.95 4.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
23 root 1.88 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
24     - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
25 root 1.93 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
26 root 1.90 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
27     - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
28 root 1.94 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
29 root 1.93 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
30 root 1.89 verbatim ip addresses.
31 root 1.88 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.

44 root 1.79 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
45     (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
46 root 1.77 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
47     helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
48     - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
49     - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
50     - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
51 elmex 1.74 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as

53 root 1.77 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
54 root 1.72 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
55 root 1.78 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
56     cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
57     and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
58 root 1.72
59 root 1.71 3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
60     - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
61    
62 root 1.70 3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
63     - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful
64     API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
65 root 1.69 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
66     (still subject to change).
67 root 1.63 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
68 root 1.68 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
69 root 1.67 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
70     (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
71 root 1.66 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
72     via Coro::AnyEvent.
73 root 1.63
74 root 1.62 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
75     - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
76 root 1.55 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
77     when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
78 root 1.54 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
79     the different event loops with each other.
80 root 1.56 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
81     but doesn't crash with many watchers.
82 root 1.62 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
83 root 1.56 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
84     kept alive.
85     - document the race between loading of an event module and
86     child processes exiting.
87 root 1.53 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
88 root 1.54 enough, and darn slow).
89 root 1.53 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
90 root 1.60 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
91 root 1.62 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
92 root 1.60 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
93     faster than Event and Glib :).
94 root 1.59 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
95 root 1.62 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
96     to other event loops where possible.
97 root 1.53
98 root 1.50 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
99 root 1.51 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
100     in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
101     for the same fh/poll combo).
102     - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
103 root 1.47 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
104 root 1.49 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
105     - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
106 root 1.52 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
107 root 1.47
108 root 1.46 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
109     - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
110     - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
111     strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
112     - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
113     better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
114     - do not send the signal to the process group
115     (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
116    
117 root 1.45 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
118     - major documentation rework.
119     - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
120     - fix the child watcher example.
121    
122 root 1.43 3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
123 root 1.40 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
124 root 1.43 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
125     don't get fixed anytime soon).
126 root 1.42 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
127     (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
128     such strong limits).
129 root 1.41 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
130     - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
131     unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
132     any restrictions...).
133     - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
134 root 1.40
135 root 1.39 3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
136 root 1.38 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
137     up the Coro implementation in general.
138     - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
139     - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
140 root 1.44 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
141 root 1.38
142 root 1.37 2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
143     - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
144    
145 root 1.36 2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
146     - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
147     instead of reporting it to any watchers.
148    
149 root 1.35 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
150 root 1.34 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
151     too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
152 root 1.35 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
153     or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
154     watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
155     (except when Event or EV are installed).
156 root 1.34
157 root 1.33 2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
158 root 1.32 - fix bug in testsuite.
159     - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
160     - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
161 root 1.26
162 root 1.31 2.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
163 root 1.27 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
164 root 1.30 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
165 root 1.29 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
166 root 1.27
167 root 1.25 2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
168     - work around a perl bug that results in
169     BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
170     any discernible reason or error message by once
171     again not use'ing strict.
172    
173 root 1.24 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
174     - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
175    
176 root 1.22 2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
177     - child watchers stopped working permanently when
178 root 1.23 all current child watchers were destroyed.
179 root 1.22
180 root 1.21 2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
181     - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
182     true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
183    
184 root 1.20 2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
185 root 1.19 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
186 root 1.20 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
187     - implement signal watchers (experimental)
188     (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
189     so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
190     - implement child watchers (experimental).
191     - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
192     most implementation modules.
193 root 1.14
194 root 1.18 2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
195 root 1.16 - better docs.
196     - simple testsuite.
197 root 1.17 - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
198 root 1.16
199 root 1.15 2.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
200 root 1.13 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
201     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
202     - EXPERIMENTAL:
203     new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
204     event model.
205 root 1.12 - improved documentation.
206     - reduced cpu overhead.
207    
208 root 1.11 1.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006
209     - add COPYING to clarify license.
210    
211 root 1.10 1.01 Sun Jan 8 05:48:09 CET 2006
212     - correctly cancel Event timers, avoid memory leaks.
213    
214 root 1.9 1.0 Sun Jan 8 05:40:58 CET 2006
215 root 1.8 - allow third-party interfaces to be added at runtime.
216     - fix version number.
217    
218 root 1.7 0.9 Fri Dec 30 02:25:41 CET 2005
219 root 1.6 - fixed errors in the documentation.
220 root 1.7 - going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
221     as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
222     this method.
223     - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
224     and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
225     glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
226     (older) versions of glib.
227     - implemented PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE env variable.
228 root 1.6
229 root 1.5 0.3 Sun Dec 4 10:43:33 CET 2005
230     - no changes to the code.
231     - fixed documentation.
232     - clarified some corner cases.
233     - vastly improved documentation with a long example.
234    
235 root 1.3 0.2 Thu Dec 1 22:18:49 CET 2005
236 root 1.44 - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
237 root 1.4 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
238     - don't die when some modules are not available.
239     - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works.
240 root 1.3
241 root 1.2 0.1 Thu Dec 1 19:44:57 CET 2005
242     - spiced up and cleaned up for release.
243    
244 root 1.1 0.01 Tue Sep 21 18:12:09 CEST 2004
245     - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
246
