1 root 1.1 Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2    
3 root 1.129 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
4 root 1.130 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
5     also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
6 root 1.131 - support naptr name and decode it
7 root 1.132 - replace ptr by real ptr lookup, provide reverse_lookup
8     and reverse_verify to replace it, support v4mapped and
9     v4compat addresses.
10 root 1.129
11 root 1.128 4.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
12 root 1.123 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
13     which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
14     for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
15     AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
16 root 1.127 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
17 root 1.124 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
18 root 1.123 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
19     - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
20     a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
21 root 1.126 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
22 root 1.122 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
23     - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
24 root 1.118 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
25     - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
26 root 1.120 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
27 root 1.127 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
28 root 1.121 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
29     select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
30     workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
31     but EV also works around this).
32 root 1.123 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
33 root 1.122 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
34     vs. callback arguments.
35 root 1.127 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
36 root 1.117
37 root 1.116 4.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
38     - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
39     the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
40     didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
41 root 1.114 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
42    
43 root 1.113 4.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
44 root 1.109 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
45 root 1.110 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
46     EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
47 root 1.111 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
48 root 1.106 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
49 root 1.112 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
50 root 1.104 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
51 root 1.114 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
52 root 1.107 sake of perl 5.8.
53 root 1.106 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
54     (still a hack...)
55     - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
56 root 1.108 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
57     die handlers.
58 root 1.104
59 root 1.102 4.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
60 root 1.100 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
61     error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
62 root 1.96 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
63 root 1.97 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
64 root 1.101 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
65 root 1.100 - updated documentation.
66 root 1.103 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
67 root 1.98 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
68     in AnyEvent::Handle.
69 root 1.101 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
70     - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
71 root 1.99 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
72 root 1.100 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
73 root 1.96
74 root 1.95 4.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
75 root 1.88 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
76     - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
77 root 1.93 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
78 root 1.90 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
79     - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
80 root 1.94 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
81 root 1.93 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
82 root 1.89 verbatim ip addresses.
83 root 1.88 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
84 root 1.87 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
85 root 1.86 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
86 root 1.83 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
87 root 1.84 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
88 root 1.121 become writable until empty.
89 root 1.81 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
90     returns ENOTCONN.
91 root 1.82 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP brutal
92     override.
93 root 1.91 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
94 root 1.81
95 root 1.80 3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
96 root 1.79 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
97     (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
98 root 1.77 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
99     helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
100     - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
101     - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
102     - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
103 elmex 1.74 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
104     first and second argument.
105 root 1.77 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
106 root 1.72 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
107 root 1.78 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
108     cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
109     and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
110 root 1.72
111 root 1.71 3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
112     - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
113    
114 root 1.70 3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
115     - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful
116     API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
117 root 1.69 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
118     (still subject to change).
119 root 1.63 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
120 root 1.68 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
121 root 1.67 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
122     (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
123 root 1.66 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
124     via Coro::AnyEvent.
125 root 1.63
126 root 1.62 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
127     - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
128 root 1.55 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
129     when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
130 root 1.54 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
131     the different event loops with each other.
132 root 1.56 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
133     but doesn't crash with many watchers.
134 root 1.62 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
135 root 1.56 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
136     kept alive.
137     - document the race between loading of an event module and
138     child processes exiting.
139 root 1.53 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
140 root 1.54 enough, and darn slow).
141 root 1.53 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
142 root 1.60 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
143 root 1.62 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
144 root 1.60 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
145     faster than Event and Glib :).
146 root 1.59 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
147 root 1.62 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
148     to other event loops where possible.
149 root 1.53
150 root 1.50 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
151 root 1.51 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
152     in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
153     for the same fh/poll combo).
154     - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
155 root 1.47 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
156 root 1.49 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
157     - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
158 root 1.52 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
159 root 1.47
160 root 1.46 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
161     - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
162     - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
163     strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
164     - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
165     better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
166     - do not send the signal to the process group
167     (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
168    
169 root 1.45 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
170     - major documentation rework.
171     - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
172     - fix the child watcher example.
173    
174 root 1.43 3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
175 root 1.40 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
176 root 1.43 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
177     don't get fixed anytime soon).
178 root 1.42 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
179     (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
180     such strong limits).
181 root 1.41 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
182     - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
183     unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
184     any restrictions...).
185     - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
186 root 1.40
187 root 1.39 3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
188 root 1.38 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
189     up the Coro implementation in general.
190     - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
191     - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
192 root 1.44 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
193 root 1.38
194 root 1.37 2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
195     - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
196    
197 root 1.36 2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
198     - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
199     instead of reporting it to any watchers.
200    
201 root 1.35 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
202 root 1.34 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
203     too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
204 root 1.35 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
205     or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
206     watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
207     (except when Event or EV are installed).
208 root 1.34
209 root 1.33 2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
210 root 1.32 - fix bug in testsuite.
211     - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
212     - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
213 root 1.26
214 root 1.31 2.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
215 root 1.27 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
216 root 1.30 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
217 root 1.29 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
218 root 1.27
219 root 1.25 2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
220     - work around a perl bug that results in
221     BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
222     any discernible reason or error message by once
223     again not use'ing strict.
224    
225 root 1.24 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
226     - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
227    
228 root 1.22 2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
229     - child watchers stopped working permanently when
230 root 1.23 all current child watchers were destroyed.
231 root 1.22
232 root 1.21 2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
233     - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
234     true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
235    
236 root 1.20 2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
237 root 1.19 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
238 root 1.20 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
239     - implement signal watchers (experimental)
240     (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
241     so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
242     - implement child watchers (experimental).
243     - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
244     most implementation modules.
245 root 1.14
246 root 1.18 2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
247 root 1.16 - better docs.
248     - simple testsuite.
249 root 1.17 - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
250 root 1.16
251 root 1.15 2.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
252 root 1.13 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
253     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
254     - EXPERIMENTAL:
255     new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
256     event model.
257 root 1.12 - improved documentation.
258     - reduced cpu overhead.
259    
260 root 1.11 1.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006
261     - add COPYING to clarify license.
262    
263 root 1.10 1.01 Sun Jan 8 05:48:09 CET 2006
264     - correctly cancel Event timers, avoid memory leaks.
265    
266 root 1.9 1.0 Sun Jan 8 05:40:58 CET 2006
267 root 1.8 - allow third-party interfaces to be added at runtime.
268     - fix version number.
269    
270 root 1.7 0.9 Fri Dec 30 02:25:41 CET 2005
271 root 1.6 - fixed errors in the documentation.
272 root 1.7 - going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
273     as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
274     this method.
275     - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
276     and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
277     glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
278     (older) versions of glib.
279     - implemented PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE env variable.
280 root 1.6
281 root 1.5 0.3 Sun Dec 4 10:43:33 CET 2005
282     - no changes to the code.
283     - fixed documentation.
284     - clarified some corner cases.
285     - vastly improved documentation with a long example.
286    
287 root 1.3 0.2 Thu Dec 1 22:18:49 CET 2005
288 root 1.44 - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
289 root 1.4 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
290     - don't die when some modules are not available.
291     - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works.
292 root 1.3
293 root 1.2 0.1 Thu Dec 1 19:44:57 CET 2005
294     - spiced up and cleaned up for release.
295    
296 root 1.1 0.01 Tue Sep 21 18:12:09 CEST 2004
297     - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
298
