# User Rev Content
1 root 1.1 Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2    
3 root 1.129 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
4    
5 root 1.128 4.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
6 root 1.123 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
7     which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
8     for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
9     AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
10 root 1.127 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
11 root 1.124 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
12 root 1.123 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
13     - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
14     a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
15 root 1.126 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
16 root 1.122 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
17     - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
18 root 1.118 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
19     - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
20 root 1.120 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
21 root 1.127 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
22 root 1.121 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
23     select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
24     workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
25     but EV also works around this).
26 root 1.123 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
27 root 1.122 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
28     vs. callback arguments.
29 root 1.127 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
30 root 1.117
31 root 1.116 4.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
32     - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
33     the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
34     didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
35 root 1.114 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
36    
37 root 1.113 4.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
38 root 1.109 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
39 root 1.110 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
40     EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
41 root 1.111 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
42 root 1.106 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
43 root 1.112 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
44 root 1.104 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
45 root 1.114 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
46 root 1.107 sake of perl 5.8.
47 root 1.106 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
48     (still a hack...)
49     - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
50 root 1.108 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
51     die handlers.
52 root 1.104
53 root 1.102 4.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
54 root 1.100 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
55     error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
56 root 1.96 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
57 root 1.97 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
58 root 1.101 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
59 root 1.100 - updated documentation.
60 root 1.103 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
61 root 1.98 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
62     in AnyEvent::Handle.
63 root 1.101 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
64     - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
65 root 1.99 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
66 root 1.100 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
67 root 1.96
68 root 1.95 4.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
69 root 1.88 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
70     - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
71 root 1.93 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
72 root 1.90 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
73     - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
74 root 1.94 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
75 root 1.93 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
76 root 1.89 verbatim ip addresses.
77 root 1.88 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
78 root 1.87 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
79 root 1.86 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
80 root 1.83 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
81 root 1.84 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
82 root 1.121 become writable until empty.
83 root 1.81 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
84     returns ENOTCONN.
85 root 1.82 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP brutal
86     override.
87 root 1.91 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
88 root 1.81
89 root 1.80 3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
90 root 1.79 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
91     (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
92 root 1.77 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
93     helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
94     - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
95     - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
96     - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
97 elmex 1.74 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
98     first and second argument.
99 root 1.77 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
100 root 1.72 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
101 root 1.78 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
102     cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
103     and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
104 root 1.72
105 root 1.71 3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
106     - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
107    
108 root 1.70 3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
109     - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful
110     API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
111 root 1.69 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
112     (still subject to change).
113 root 1.63 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
114 root 1.68 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
115 root 1.67 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
116     (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
117 root 1.66 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
118     via Coro::AnyEvent.
119 root 1.63
120 root 1.62 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
121     - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
122 root 1.55 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
123     when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
124 root 1.54 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
125     the different event loops with each other.
126 root 1.56 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
127     but doesn't crash with many watchers.
128 root 1.62 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
129 root 1.56 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
130     kept alive.
131     - document the race between loading of an event module and
132     child processes exiting.
133 root 1.53 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
134 root 1.54 enough, and darn slow).
135 root 1.53 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
136 root 1.60 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
137 root 1.62 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
138 root 1.60 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
139     faster than Event and Glib :).
140 root 1.59 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
141 root 1.62 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
142     to other event loops where possible.
143 root 1.53
144 root 1.50 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
145 root 1.51 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
146     in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
147     for the same fh/poll combo).
148     - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
149 root 1.47 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
150 root 1.49 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
151     - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
152 root 1.52 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
153 root 1.47
154 root 1.46 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
155     - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
156     - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
157     strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
158     - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
159     better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
160     - do not send the signal to the process group
161     (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
162    
163 root 1.45 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
164     - major documentation rework.
165     - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
166     - fix the child watcher example.
167    
168 root 1.43 3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
169 root 1.40 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
170 root 1.43 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
171     don't get fixed anytime soon).
172 root 1.42 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
173     (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
174     such strong limits).
175 root 1.41 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
176     - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
177     unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
178     any restrictions...).
179     - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
180 root 1.40
181 root 1.39 3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
182 root 1.38 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
183     up the Coro implementation in general.
184     - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
185     - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
186 root 1.44 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
187 root 1.38
188 root 1.37 2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
189     - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
190    
191 root 1.36 2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
192     - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
193     instead of reporting it to any watchers.
194    
195 root 1.35 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
196 root 1.34 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
197     too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
198 root 1.35 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
199     or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
200     watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
201     (except when Event or EV are installed).
202 root 1.34
203 root 1.33 2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
204 root 1.32 - fix bug in testsuite.
205     - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
206     - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
207 root 1.26
208 root 1.31 2.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
209 root 1.27 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
210 root 1.30 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
211 root 1.29 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
212 root 1.27
213 root 1.25 2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
214     - work around a perl bug that results in
215     BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
216     any discernible reason or error message by once
217     again not use'ing strict.
218    
219 root 1.24 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
220     - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
221    
222 root 1.22 2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
223     - child watchers stopped working permanently when
224 root 1.23 all current child watchers were destroyed.
225 root 1.22
226 root 1.21 2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
227     - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
228     true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
229    
230 root 1.20 2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
231 root 1.19 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
232 root 1.20 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
233     - implement signal watchers (experimental)
234     (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
235     so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
236     - implement child watchers (experimental).
237     - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
238     most implementation modules.
239 root 1.14
240 root 1.18 2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
241 root 1.16 - better docs.
242     - simple testsuite.
243 root 1.17 - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
244 root 1.16
245 root 1.15 2.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
246 root 1.13 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
247     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
248     - EXPERIMENTAL:
249     new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
250     event model.
251 root 1.12 - improved documentation.
252     - reduced cpu overhead.
253    
254 root 1.11 1.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006
255     - add COPYING to clarify license.
256    
257 root 1.10 1.01 Sun Jan 8 05:48:09 CET 2006
258     - correctly cancel Event timers, avoid memory leaks.
259    
260 root 1.9 1.0 Sun Jan 8 05:40:58 CET 2006
261 root 1.8 - allow third-party interfaces to be added at runtime.
262     - fix version number.
263    
264 root 1.7 0.9 Fri Dec 30 02:25:41 CET 2005
265 root 1.6 - fixed errors in the documentation.
266 root 1.7 - going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
267     as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
268     this method.
269     - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
270     and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
271     glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
272     (older) versions of glib.
273     - implemented PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE env variable.
274 root 1.6
275 root 1.5 0.3 Sun Dec 4 10:43:33 CET 2005
276     - no changes to the code.
277     - fixed documentation.
278     - clarified some corner cases.
279     - vastly improved documentation with a long example.
280    
281 root 1.3 0.2 Thu Dec 1 22:18:49 CET 2005
282 root 1.44 - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
283 root 1.4 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
284     - don't die when some modules are not available.
285     - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works.
286 root 1.3
287 root 1.2 0.1 Thu Dec 1 19:44:57 CET 2005
288     - spiced up and cleaned up for release.
289    
290 root 1.1 0.01 Tue Sep 21 18:12:09 CEST 2004
291     - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
292
