# User Rev Content
1 root 1.1 Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2    
3 root 1.154 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
4     one watcher was registered for the same fd.
5 root 1.153 - new "packstring" read and write type for AnyEvent::Handle.
6     - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_errro with EPIPE returns.
7     - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
8    
9 root 1.152 4.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
10 elmex 1.149 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
11 root 1.150 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
12     executing the guard block as warnings.
13 root 1.152 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
14 elmex 1.149
15 root 1.148 4.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
16 root 1.146 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
17     contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
18     microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
19 root 1.147 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
20     but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
21     case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
22     and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
23 root 1.145 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
24     when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
25     and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
26     enter an endless loop.
27     - correctly start reading again when the handle became
28     busy again after idling.
29 root 1.146 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
30     (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
31 root 1.145 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
32     (hopefully).
33 root 1.146 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
34     away any time.
35 root 1.145
36 root 1.144 4.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
37     - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
38     anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
39 root 1.143 - allow more options in on_error.
40 root 1.142
41 root 1.141 4.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
42 root 1.135 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
43     reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
44     v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
45 root 1.129 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
46 root 1.130 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
47     also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
48 root 1.134 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
49 root 1.133 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
50     rfc 2782.
51 root 1.137 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
52     - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
53 root 1.138 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
54     being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
55     could die. this has been fixed.
56     - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
57     - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
58 root 1.139 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
59     for resolver class.
60 root 1.140 - update version numbers in all modules.
61 root 1.129
62 root 1.128 4.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
63 root 1.123 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
64     which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
65     for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
66     AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
67 root 1.127 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
68 root 1.124 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
69 root 1.123 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
70     - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
71     a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
72 root 1.126 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
73 root 1.122 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
74     - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
75 root 1.118 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
76     - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
77 root 1.120 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
78 root 1.127 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
79 root 1.121 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
80     select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
81     workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
82     but EV also works around this).
83 root 1.123 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
84 root 1.122 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
85     vs. callback arguments.
86 root 1.127 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
87 root 1.117
88 root 1.116 4.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
89     - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
90     the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
91     didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
92 root 1.114 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
93    
94 root 1.113 4.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
95 root 1.109 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
96 root 1.110 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
97     EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
98 root 1.111 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
99 root 1.106 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
100 root 1.112 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
101 root 1.104 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
102 root 1.114 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
103 root 1.107 sake of perl 5.8.
104 root 1.106 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
105     (still a hack...)
106     - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
107 root 1.108 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
108     die handlers.
109 root 1.104
110 root 1.102 4.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
111 root 1.100 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
112     error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
113 root 1.96 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
114 root 1.97 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
115 root 1.101 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
116 root 1.100 - updated documentation.
117 root 1.103 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
118 root 1.98 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
119     in AnyEvent::Handle.
120 root 1.101 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
121     - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
122 root 1.99 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
123 root 1.100 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
124 root 1.96
125 root 1.95 4.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
126 root 1.88 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
127     - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
128 root 1.93 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
129 root 1.90 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
130     - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
131 root 1.94 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
132 root 1.93 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
133 root 1.89 verbatim ip addresses.
134 root 1.88 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
135 root 1.87 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
136 root 1.86 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
137 root 1.83 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
138 root 1.84 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
139 root 1.121 become writable until empty.
140 root 1.81 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
141     returns ENOTCONN.
142 root 1.82 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP brutal
143     override.
144 root 1.91 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
145 root 1.81
146 root 1.80 3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
147 root 1.79 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
148     (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
149 root 1.77 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
150     helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
151     - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
152     - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
153     - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
154 elmex 1.74 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
155     first and second argument.
156 root 1.77 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
157 root 1.72 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
158 root 1.78 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
159     cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
160     and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
161 root 1.72
162 root 1.71 3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
163     - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
164    
165 root 1.70 3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
166     - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful
167     API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
168 root 1.69 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
169     (still subject to change).
170 root 1.63 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
171 root 1.68 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
172 root 1.67 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
173     (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
174 root 1.66 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
175     via Coro::AnyEvent.
176 root 1.63
177 root 1.62 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
178     - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
179 root 1.55 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
180     when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
181 root 1.54 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
182     the different event loops with each other.
183 root 1.56 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
184     but doesn't crash with many watchers.
185 root 1.62 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
186 root 1.56 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
187     kept alive.
188     - document the race between loading of an event module and
189     child processes exiting.
190 root 1.53 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
191 root 1.54 enough, and darn slow).
192 root 1.53 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
193 root 1.60 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
194 root 1.62 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
195 root 1.60 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
196     faster than Event and Glib :).
197 root 1.59 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
198 root 1.62 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
199     to other event loops where possible.
200 root 1.53
201 root 1.50 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
202 root 1.51 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
203     in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
204     for the same fh/poll combo).
205     - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
206 root 1.47 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
207 root 1.49 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
208     - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
209 root 1.52 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
210 root 1.47
211 root 1.46 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
212     - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
213     - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
214     strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
215     - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
216     better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
217     - do not send the signal to the process group
218     (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
219    
220 root 1.45 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
221     - major documentation rework.
222     - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
223     - fix the child watcher example.
224    
225 root 1.43 3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
226 root 1.40 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
227 root 1.43 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
228     don't get fixed anytime soon).
229 root 1.42 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
230     (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
231     such strong limits).
232 root 1.41 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
233     - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
234     unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
235     any restrictions...).
236     - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
237 root 1.40
238 root 1.39 3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
239 root 1.38 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
240     up the Coro implementation in general.
241     - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
242     - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
243 root 1.44 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
244 root 1.38
245 root 1.37 2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
246     - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
247    
248 root 1.36 2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
249     - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
250     instead of reporting it to any watchers.
251    
252 root 1.35 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
253 root 1.34 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
254     too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
255 root 1.35 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
256     or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
257     watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
258     (except when Event or EV are installed).
259 root 1.34
260 root 1.33 2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
261 root 1.32 - fix bug in testsuite.
262     - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
263     - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
264 root 1.26
265 root 1.31 2.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
266 root 1.27 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
267 root 1.30 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
268 root 1.29 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
269 root 1.27
270 root 1.25 2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
271     - work around a perl bug that results in
272     BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
273     any discernible reason or error message by once
274     again not use'ing strict.
275    
276 root 1.24 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
277     - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
278    
279 root 1.22 2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
280     - child watchers stopped working permanently when
281 root 1.23 all current child watchers were destroyed.
282 root 1.22
283 root 1.21 2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
284     - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
285     true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
286    
287 root 1.20 2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
288 root 1.19 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
289 root 1.20 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
290     - implement signal watchers (experimental)
291     (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
292     so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
293     - implement child watchers (experimental).
294     - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
295     most implementation modules.
296 root 1.14
297 root 1.18 2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
298 root 1.16 - better docs.
299     - simple testsuite.
300 root 1.17 - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
301 root 1.16
302 root 1.15 2.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
303 root 1.13 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
304     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
305     - EXPERIMENTAL:
306     new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
307     event model.
308 root 1.12 - improved documentation.
309     - reduced cpu overhead.
310    
311 root 1.11 1.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006
312     - add COPYING to clarify license.
313    
314 root 1.10 1.01 Sun Jan 8 05:48:09 CET 2006
315     - correctly cancel Event timers, avoid memory leaks.
316    
317 root 1.9 1.0 Sun Jan 8 05:40:58 CET 2006
318 root 1.8 - allow third-party interfaces to be added at runtime.
319     - fix version number.
320    
321 root 1.7 0.9 Fri Dec 30 02:25:41 CET 2005
322 root 1.6 - fixed errors in the documentation.
323 root 1.7 - going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
324     as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
325     this method.
326     - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
327     and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
328     glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
329     (older) versions of glib.
330     - implemented PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE env variable.
331 root 1.6
332 root 1.5 0.3 Sun Dec 4 10:43:33 CET 2005
333     - no changes to the code.
334     - fixed documentation.
335     - clarified some corner cases.
336     - vastly improved documentation with a long example.
337    
338 root 1.3 0.2 Thu Dec 1 22:18:49 CET 2005
339 root 1.44 - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
340 root 1.4 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
341     - don't die when some modules are not available.
342     - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works.
343 root 1.3
344 root 1.2 0.1 Thu Dec 1 19:44:57 CET 2005
345     - spiced up and cleaned up for release.
346    
347 root 1.1 0.01 Tue Sep 21 18:12:09 CEST 2004
348     - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
349
