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 1.138 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
15     being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
16     could die. this has been fixed.
17     - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
18     - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
19 root 1.139 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
20     for resolver class.
21 root 1.140 - update version numbers in all modules.
22 root 1.129
23 root 1.128 4.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
24 root 1.123 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
25     which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
26     for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
27     AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
28 root 1.127 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
29 root 1.124 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
30 root 1.123 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
31     - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
32     a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
33 root 1.126 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
34 root 1.122 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
35     - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
36 root 1.118 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
37     - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
38 root 1.120 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
39 root 1.127 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
40 root 1.121 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
41     select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
42     workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
43     but EV also works around this).
44 root 1.123 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
45 root 1.122 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
46     vs. callback arguments.
47 root 1.127 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
48 root 1.117
49 root 1.116 4.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
50     - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
51     the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
52     didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
53 root 1.114 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
54    
55 root 1.113 4.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
56 root 1.109 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
57 root 1.110 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
58     EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
59 root 1.111 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
60 root 1.106 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
61 root 1.112 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
62 root 1.104 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
63 root 1.114 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
64 root 1.107 sake of perl 5.8.
65 root 1.106 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
66     (still a hack...)
67     - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
68 root 1.108 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
69     die handlers.
70 root 1.104
71 root 1.102 4.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
72 root 1.100 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
73     error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
74 root 1.96 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
75 root 1.97 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
76 root 1.101 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
77 root 1.100 - updated documentation.
78 root 1.103 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
79 root 1.98 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
80     in AnyEvent::Handle.
81 root 1.101 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
82     - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
83 root 1.99 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
84 root 1.100 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;

87 root 1.88 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
88     - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
89 root 1.93 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
90 root 1.90 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
91     - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
92 root 1.94 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
93 root 1.93 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
94 root 1.89 verbatim ip addresses.
95 root 1.88 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
96 root 1.87 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
97 root 1.86 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
98 root 1.83 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
99 root 1.84 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
100 root 1.121 become writable until empty.
101 root 1.81 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
102     returns ENOTCONN.
103 root 1.82 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP brutal
104     override.
105 root 1.91 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
106 root 1.81
107 root 1.80 3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
108 root 1.79 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
109     (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
110 root 1.77 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
111     helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
112     - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
113     - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
114     - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
115 elmex 1.74 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
116     first and second argument.
117 root 1.77 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
118 root 1.72 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
119 root 1.78 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
120     cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
121     and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
122 root 1.72
123 root 1.71 3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
124     - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
125    
126 root 1.70 3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
127     - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful
128     API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
129 root 1.69 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
130     (still subject to change).
131 root 1.63 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
132 root 1.68 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
133 root 1.67 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
134     (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
135 root 1.66 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
136     via Coro::AnyEvent.
137 root 1.63
138 root 1.62 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
139     - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
140 root 1.55 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
141     when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
142 root 1.54 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
143     the different event loops with each other.
144 root 1.56 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
145     but doesn't crash with many watchers.
146 root 1.62 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
147 root 1.56 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
148     kept alive.
149     - document the race between loading of an event module and
150     child processes exiting.
151 root 1.53 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
152 root 1.54 enough, and darn slow).
153 root 1.53 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
154 root 1.60 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
155 root 1.62 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
156 root 1.60 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
157     faster than Event and Glib :).
158 root 1.59 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
159 root 1.62 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
160     to other event loops where possible.
161 root 1.53
162 root 1.50 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
163 root 1.51 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
164     in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
165     for the same fh/poll combo).
166     - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
167 root 1.47 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
168 root 1.49 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
169     - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
170 root 1.52 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
171 root 1.47
172 root 1.46 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
173     - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
174     - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
175     strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
176     - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
177     better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
178     - do not send the signal to the process group
179     (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
180    
181 root 1.45 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
182     - major documentation rework.
183     - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
184     - fix the child watcher example.
185    
186 root 1.43 3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
187 root 1.40 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
188 root 1.43 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
189     don't get fixed anytime soon).
190 root 1.42 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
191     (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
192     such strong limits).
193 root 1.41 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
194     - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
195     unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
196     any restrictions...).
197     - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
198 root 1.40
199 root 1.39 3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
200 root 1.38 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
201     up the Coro implementation in general.
202     - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
203     - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
204 root 1.44 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
205 root 1.38
206 root 1.37 2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
207     - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
208    
209 root 1.36 2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
210     - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
211     instead of reporting it to any watchers.
212    
213 root 1.35 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
214 root 1.34 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
215     too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
216 root 1.35 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
217     or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
218     watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
219     (except when Event or EV are installed).
220 root 1.34
221 root 1.33 2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
222 root 1.32 - fix bug in testsuite.
223     - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
224     - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
225 root 1.26
226 root 1.31 2.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
227 root 1.27 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
228 root 1.30 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
229 root 1.29 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
230 root 1.27
231 root 1.25 2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
232     - work around a perl bug that results in
233     BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
234     any discernible reason or error message by once
235     again not use'ing strict.
236    
237 root 1.24 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
238     - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
239    
240 root 1.22 2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
241     - child watchers stopped working permanently when
242 root 1.23 all current child watchers were destroyed.
243 root 1.22
244 root 1.21 2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
245     - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
246     true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
247    
248 root 1.20 2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
249 root 1.19 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
250 root 1.20 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
251     - implement signal watchers (experimental)
252     (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
253     so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
254     - implement child watchers (experimental).
255     - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
256     most implementation modules.
257 root 1.14
258 root 1.18 2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
259 root 1.16 - better docs.
260     - simple testsuite.
261 root 1.17 - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
262 root 1.16
263 root 1.15 2.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
264 root 1.13 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
265     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
266     - EXPERIMENTAL:
267     new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
268     event model.
269 root 1.12 - improved documentation.
270     - reduced cpu overhead.
271    
272 root 1.11 1.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006
273     - add COPYING to clarify license.
274    
275 root 1.10 1.01 Sun Jan 8 05:48:09 CET 2006
276     - correctly cancel Event timers, avoid memory leaks.
277    
278 root 1.9 1.0 Sun Jan 8 05:40:58 CET 2006
279 root 1.8 - allow third-party interfaces to be added at runtime.
280     - fix version number.
281    
282 root 1.7 0.9 Fri Dec 30 02:25:41 CET 2005
283 root 1.6 - fixed errors in the documentation.
284 root 1.7 - going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
285     as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
286     this method.
287     - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
288     and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
289     glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
290     (older) versions of glib.
291     - implemented PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE env variable.
292 root 1.6
293 root 1.5 0.3 Sun Dec 4 10:43:33 CET 2005
294     - no changes to the code.
295     - fixed documentation.
296     - clarified some corner cases.
297     - vastly improved documentation with a long example.
298    
299 root 1.3 0.2 Thu Dec 1 22:18:49 CET 2005
300 root 1.44 - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
301 root 1.4 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
302     - don't die when some modules are not available.
303     - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works.
304 root 1.3
305 root 1.2 0.1 Thu Dec 1 19:44:57 CET 2005
306     - spiced up and cleaned up for release.
307    
308 root 1.1 0.01 Tue Sep 21 18:12:09 CEST 2004
309     - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
310
