# User Rev Content
1 root 1.1 Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2    
3 root 1.135 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
4     reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
5     v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
6 root 1.129 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
7 root 1.130 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
8     also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
9 root 1.134 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
10 root 1.133 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
11     rfc 2782.
12 root 1.137 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
13     - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
14 root 1.129
15 root 1.128 4.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
16 root 1.123 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
17     which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
18     for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
19     AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
20 root 1.127 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
21 root 1.124 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
22 root 1.123 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
23     - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
24     a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
25 root 1.126 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
26 root 1.122 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
27     - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
28 root 1.118 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
29     - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
30 root 1.120 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
31 root 1.127 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
32 root 1.121 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
33     select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
34     workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
35     but EV also works around this).
36 root 1.123 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
37 root 1.122 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
38     vs. callback arguments.
39 root 1.127 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
40 root 1.117
41 root 1.116 4.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
42     - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
43     the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
44     didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
45 root 1.114 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
46    
47 root 1.113 4.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
48 root 1.109 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
49 root 1.110 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
50     EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
51 root 1.111 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
52 root 1.106 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
53 root 1.112 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
54 root 1.104 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
55 root 1.114 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
56 root 1.107 sake of perl 5.8.
57 root 1.106 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
58     (still a hack...)
59     - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
60 root 1.108 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
61     die handlers.
62 root 1.104
63 root 1.102 4.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
64 root 1.100 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
65     error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
66 root 1.96 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
67 root 1.97 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
68 root 1.101 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
69 root 1.100 - updated documentation.
70 root 1.103 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
71 root 1.98 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
72     in AnyEvent::Handle.
73 root 1.101 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
74     - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
75 root 1.99 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
76 root 1.100 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
77 root 1.96
78 root 1.95 4.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
79 root 1.88 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
80     - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
81 root 1.93 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
82 root 1.90 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
83     - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
84 root 1.94 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
85 root 1.93 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
86 root 1.89 verbatim ip addresses.
87 root 1.88 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
88 root 1.87 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
89 root 1.86 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
90 root 1.83 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
91 root 1.84 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
92 root 1.121 become writable until empty.
93 root 1.81 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
94     returns ENOTCONN.
95 root 1.82 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP brutal
96     override.
97 root 1.91 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
98 root 1.81
99 root 1.80 3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
100 root 1.79 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
101     (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
102 root 1.77 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
103     helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
104     - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
105     - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
106     - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
107 elmex 1.74 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
108     first and second argument.
109 root 1.77 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
110 root 1.72 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
111 root 1.78 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
112     cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
113     and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
114 root 1.72
115 root 1.71 3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
116     - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
117    
118 root 1.70 3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
119     - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful
120     API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
121 root 1.69 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
122     (still subject to change).
123 root 1.63 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
124 root 1.68 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
125 root 1.67 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
126     (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
127 root 1.66 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
128     via Coro::AnyEvent.
129 root 1.63
130 root 1.62 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
131     - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
132 root 1.55 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
133     when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
134 root 1.54 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
135     the different event loops with each other.
136 root 1.56 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
137     but doesn't crash with many watchers.
138 root 1.62 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
139 root 1.56 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
140     kept alive.
141     - document the race between loading of an event module and
142     child processes exiting.
143 root 1.53 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
144 root 1.54 enough, and darn slow).
145 root 1.53 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
146 root 1.60 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
147 root 1.62 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
148 root 1.60 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
149     faster than Event and Glib :).
150 root 1.59 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
151 root 1.62 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
152     to other event loops where possible.
153 root 1.53
154 root 1.50 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
155 root 1.51 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
156     in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
157     for the same fh/poll combo).
158     - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
159 root 1.47 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
160 root 1.49 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
161     - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
162 root 1.52 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
163 root 1.47
164 root 1.46 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
165     - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
166     - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
167     strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
168     - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
169     better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
170     - do not send the signal to the process group
171     (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
172    
173 root 1.45 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
174     - major documentation rework.
175     - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
176     - fix the child watcher example.
177    
178 root 1.43 3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
179 root 1.40 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
180 root 1.43 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
181     don't get fixed anytime soon).
182 root 1.42 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
183     (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
184     such strong limits).
185 root 1.41 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
186     - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
187     unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
188     any restrictions...).
189     - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
190 root 1.40
191 root 1.39 3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
192 root 1.38 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
193     up the Coro implementation in general.
194     - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
195     - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
196 root 1.44 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
197 root 1.38
198 root 1.37 2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
199     - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
200    
201 root 1.36 2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
202     - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
203     instead of reporting it to any watchers.
204    
205 root 1.35 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
206 root 1.34 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
207     too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
208 root 1.35 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
209     or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
210     watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
211     (except when Event or EV are installed).
212 root 1.34
213 root 1.33 2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
214 root 1.32 - fix bug in testsuite.
215     - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
216     - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
217 root 1.26
218 root 1.31 2.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
219 root 1.27 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
220 root 1.30 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
221 root 1.29 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
222 root 1.27
223 root 1.25 2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
224     - work around a perl bug that results in
225     BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
226     any discernible reason or error message by once
227     again not use'ing strict.
228    
229 root 1.24 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
230     - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
231    
232 root 1.22 2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
233     - child watchers stopped working permanently when
234 root 1.23 all current child watchers were destroyed.
235 root 1.22
236 root 1.21 2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
237     - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
238     true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
239    
240 root 1.20 2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
241 root 1.19 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
242 root 1.20 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
243     - implement signal watchers (experimental)
244     (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
245     so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
246     - implement child watchers (experimental).
247     - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
248     most implementation modules.
249 root 1.14
250 root 1.18 2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
251 root 1.16 - better docs.
252     - simple testsuite.
253 root 1.17 - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
254 root 1.16
255 root 1.15 2.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
256 root 1.13 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
257     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
258     - EXPERIMENTAL:
259     new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
260     event model.
261 root 1.12 - improved documentation.
262     - reduced cpu overhead.
263    
264 root 1.11 1.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006
265     - add COPYING to clarify license.
266    
267 root 1.10 1.01 Sun Jan 8 05:48:09 CET 2006
268     - correctly cancel Event timers, avoid memory leaks.
269    
270 root 1.9 1.0 Sun Jan 8 05:40:58 CET 2006
271 root 1.8 - allow third-party interfaces to be added at runtime.
272     - fix version number.
273    
274 root 1.7 0.9 Fri Dec 30 02:25:41 CET 2005
275 root 1.6 - fixed errors in the documentation.
276 root 1.7 - going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
277     as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
278     this method.
279     - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
280     and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
281     glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
282     (older) versions of glib.
283     - implemented PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE env variable.
284 root 1.6
285 root 1.5 0.3 Sun Dec 4 10:43:33 CET 2005
286     - no changes to the code.
287     - fixed documentation.
288     - clarified some corner cases.
289     - vastly improved documentation with a long example.
290    
291 root 1.3 0.2 Thu Dec 1 22:18:49 CET 2005
292 root 1.44 - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
293 root 1.4 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
294     - don't die when some modules are not available.
295     - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works.
296 root 1.3
297 root 1.2 0.1 Thu Dec 1 19:44:57 CET 2005
298     - spiced up and cleaned up for release.
299    
300 root 1.1 0.01 Tue Sep 21 18:12:09 CEST 2004
301     - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
302
