[ViewVC] Annotation of: cvs/AnyEvent/Changes

Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.

4.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
        - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
        - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
          working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
          some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
          people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.

4.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
        - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
          which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
        - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
          why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
          unusable way.
        - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
          AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
          K. Sharifulin).

4.2  Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
        - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
        - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
          be delayed under some circumstances.
        - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
        - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
          and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
        - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
          seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
        - minor optimisations applied to most backends.

4.161 Fri Jul  4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
        - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
          assumption that all data could be written before read
          (reported by Jim Razmus).

4.160 Thu Jul  3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
        - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
          not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
          implementation (also affected child watchers).
        - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.

4.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
        - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
          on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
          analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).

4.151 Fri Jun  6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
        - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
          works.

4.15 Fri Jun  6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
        - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
          one watcher was registered for the same fd.
        - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
          for AnyEvent::Handle.
        - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
        - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.

4.14 Thu Jun  5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
        - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
        - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
          executing the guard block as warnings.
        - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.

4.13 Thu Jun  5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
        - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
          contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
          microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
        - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
          but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
          case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
          and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
        - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
          when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
          and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
          enter an endless loop.
        - correctly start reading again when the handle became
          busy again after idling.
        - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
          (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
        - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
          (hopefully).
        - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
          away any time.

4.12 Tue Jun  3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
        - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
          anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
        - allow more options in on_error.

4.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
        - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
          reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
          v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
        - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
        - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
          also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
        - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
        - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
          rfc 2782.
        - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
        - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
        - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
          being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
          could die. this has been fixed.
        - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
        - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
        - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
          for resolver class.
        - update version numbers in all modules.

4.1  Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
        - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
          which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
          for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
          AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
        - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
        - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
        - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
        - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
          a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
        - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
        - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
        - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
        - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
        - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
        - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
        - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
        - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
          select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
          workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
          but EV also works around this).
        - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
        - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
          vs. callback arguments.
        - add some recommends to the META.yml.

4.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
        - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
          the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
          didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
        - undo the import WIN32 hack.

4.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
        - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
          as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
          EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
        - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
        - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
        - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
        - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
          support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
          sake of perl 5.8.
        - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
          (still a hack...)
        - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
        - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
          die handlers.

4.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
        - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
          error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
        - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
        - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
        - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
        - updated documentation.
        - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
        - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
          in AnyEvent::Handle.
        - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
        - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
        - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
        - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;

4.0  Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
        - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
        - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
        - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
        - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
        - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
        - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
        - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
          verbatim ip addresses.
        - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
        - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
        - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
        - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
        - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
          become writable until empty.
        - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
          returns ENOTCONN.
        - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP brutal
          override.
        - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.

3.5  Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
        - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
          (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
        - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
          helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
        - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
        - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
        - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
        - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
          first and second argument.
        - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
        - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
        - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
          cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
          and aaaa records if no a record could be found.

3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
        - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.

3.4  Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
        - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful
          API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
        - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
          (still subject to change).
        - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
        - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
          allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
          (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
        - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
          via Coro::AnyEvent.

3.3  Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
        - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
        - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
          when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
        - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
          the different event loops with each other.
        - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
          but doesn't crash with many watchers.
        - declare Qt support non-experimental.
        - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
          kept alive.
        - document the race between loading of an event module and
          child processes exiting.
        - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
          enough, and darn slow).
        - support Wx and Prima through POE.
        - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
          of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
          select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
          faster than Event and Glib :).
        - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
          by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
          to other event loops where possible.

3.2  Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
        - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
          in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
          for the same fh/poll combo).
        - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
        - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
        - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
        - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
        - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.

3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
        - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
        - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
          strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
        - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
          better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
        - do not send the signal to the process group
          (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).

3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
        - major documentation rework.
        - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
        - fix the child watcher example.

3.1  Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
        - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
          only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
          don't get fixed anytime soon).
        - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
          (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
          such strong limits).
        - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
        - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
          unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
          any restrictions...).
        - add simple manpages for all backend modules.

3.0  Mon Apr  7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
        - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
          up the Coro implementation in general.
        - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
        - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
          help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.

2.9  Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
        - update for EV 3.0 API changes.

2.8  Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
        - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
          instead of reporting it to any watchers.

2.7  Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
        - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
          too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
        - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
          or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
          watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
          (except when Event or EV are installed).

2.6  Fri Nov  9 20:36:35 CET 2007
        - fix bug in testsuite.
        - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
        - add Coro+EV adaptor module.

2.55 Tue Nov  6 17:41:32 CET 2007
        - add EV to the list of supported event models.
        - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
        - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.

2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
        - work around a perl bug that results in
          BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
          any discernible reason or error message by once
          again not use'ing strict.

2.53 Sun Jul  8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
        - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).

2.52 Wed Mar  7 18:36:16 CET 2007
        - child watchers stopped working permanently when
          all current child watchers were destroyed.

2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
        - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
          true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.

2.5  Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
        - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
        - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
        - implement signal watchers (experimental)
          (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
          so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
        - implement child watchers (experimental).
        - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
          most implementation modules.

2.1  Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
        - better docs.
        - simple testsuite.
        - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.

2.0  Wed Nov  1 02:21:30 CET 2006
        - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
        - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
        - EXPERIMENTAL:
          new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
          event model.
        - improved documentation.
        - reduced cpu overhead.

1.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006
        - add COPYING to clarify license.

1.01 Sun Jan  8 05:48:09 CET 2006
        - correctly cancel Event timers, avoid memory leaks.

1.0  Sun Jan  8 05:40:58 CET 2006
        - allow third-party interfaces to be added at runtime.
        - fix version number.

0.9  Fri Dec 30 02:25:41 CET 2005
        - fixed errors in the documentation.
        - going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
          as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
          this method.
        - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
          and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
          glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
          (older) versions of glib.
        - implemented PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE env variable.

0.3   Sun Dec  4 10:43:33 CET 2005
        - no changes to the code.
        - fixed documentation.
        - clarified some corner cases.
        - vastly improved documentation with a long example.

0.2   Thu Dec  1 22:18:49 CET 2005
        - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
        - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
        - don't die when some modules are not available.
        - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works.

0.1   Thu Dec  1 19:44:57 CET 2005
        - spiced up and cleaned up for release.

0.01  Tue Sep 21 18:12:09 CEST 2004
        - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.

20	root	1.169	4.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
21	root	1.165	- support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
22	root	1.164	- fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
23			be delayed under some circumstances.
24	root	1.167	- implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
25	root	1.169	- not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
26			and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
27			- more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
28	root	1.168	seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
29	root	1.164	- minor optimisations applied to most backends.
30
31	root	1.163	4.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
32	elmex	1.162	- fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
33	root	1.163	assumption that all data could be written before read
34			(reported by Jim Razmus).
35	elmex	1.162
36	root	1.161	4.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
37	root	1.160	- re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
38			not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
39			implementation (also affected child watchers).
40	root	1.159	- new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
41
42	root	1.158	4.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
43	root	1.159	- allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
44			on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
45	root	1.158	analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
46
47	root	1.157	4.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
48			- make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
49			works.
50
51	root	1.155	4.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
52	root	1.154	- the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
53			one watcher was registered for the same fd.
54	root	1.155	- new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
55			for AnyEvent::Handle.
56	root	1.156	- allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
57	root	1.153	- do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
58
59	root	1.152	4.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
60	elmex	1.149	- Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
61	root	1.150	- AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
62			executing the guard block as warnings.
63	root	1.152	- handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
64	elmex	1.149
65	root	1.148	4.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
66	root	1.146	- AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
67			contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
68			microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
69	root	1.147	- AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
70			but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
71			case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
72			and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
73	root	1.145	- fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
74			when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
75			and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
76			enter an endless loop.
77			- correctly start reading again when the handle became
78			busy again after idling.
79	root	1.146	- correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
80			(for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
81	root	1.145	- correctly call eof callback under all conditions
82			(hopefully).
83	root	1.146	- the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
84			away any time.
85	root	1.145
86	root	1.144	4.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008

90	root	1.142
91	root	1.141	4.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
92	root	1.135	- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
93			reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
94			v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
95	root	1.129	- provide more documentation for the resolver class.
96	root	1.130	- really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
97			also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
98	root	1.134	- support NAPTR record name and decode it.
99	root	1.133	- implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
100			rfc 2782.
101	root	1.137	- correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
102			- added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
103	root	1.138	- in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
104			being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
105			could die. this has been fixed.
106			- plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
107			- use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
108	root	1.139	- implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
109			for resolver class.
110	root	1.140	- update version numbers in all modules.
111	root	1.129
112	root	1.128	4.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
113	root	1.123	- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
114			which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
115			for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
116			AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
117	root	1.127	- implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
118	root	1.124	- fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
119	root	1.123	- officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
120			- support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
121			a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
122	root	1.126	- implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
123	root	1.122	- added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
124			- added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
125	root	1.118	- always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
126			- document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
127	root	1.120	- implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
128	root	1.127	- add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
129	root	1.121	- work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
130			select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
131			workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
132			but EV also works around this).
133	root	1.123	- supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
134	root	1.122	- clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
135			vs. callback arguments.
136	root	1.127	- add some recommends to the META.yml.
137	root	1.117
138	root	1.116	4.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
139			- some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
140			the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
141			didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
142	root	1.114	- undo the import WIN32 hack.
143
144	root	1.113	4.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
145	root	1.109	- try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
146	root	1.110	as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
147			EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
148	root	1.111	- optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
149	root	1.106	- properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
150	root	1.112	- tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
151	root	1.104	- check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
152	root	1.114	support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
153	root	1.107	sake of perl 5.8.
154	root	1.106	- vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
155			(still a hack...)
156			- try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
157	root	1.108	- splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
158			die handlers.
159	root	1.104
160	root	1.102	4.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
161	root	1.100	- work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
162			error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
163	root	1.96	- fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
164	root	1.97	- AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
165	root	1.101	- fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
166	root	1.100	- updated documentation.
167	root	1.103	- lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
168	root	1.98	- implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
169			in AnyEvent::Handle.
170	root	1.101	- support IPv6 in tcp_server.
171			- pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
172	root	1.99	- make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
173	root	1.100	- croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
174	root	1.96
175	root	1.95	4.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
176	root	1.88	- added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
177			- added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
178	root	1.93	- added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
179	root	1.90	- make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
180			- make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
181	root	1.94	- overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
182	root	1.93	- support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
183	root	1.89	verbatim ip addresses.
184	root	1.88	- AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
185	root	1.87	- try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
186	root	1.86	- make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
187	root	1.83	- support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
188	root	1.84	- work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
189	root	1.121	become writable until empty.
190	root	1.81	- only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
191			returns ENOTCONN.
192	root	1.82	- defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP brutal
193			override.
194	root	1.91	- new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
195	root	1.81
196	root	1.80	3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
197	root	1.79	- gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
198			(as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
199	root	1.77	- added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
200			helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
201			- added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
202			- added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
203			- AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
204	elmex	1.74	- fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
205			first and second argument.
206	root	1.77	- simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
207	root	1.72	- fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
208	root	1.78	- considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
209			cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
210			and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
211	root	1.72
212	root	1.71	3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
213			- work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
214
215	root	1.70	3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
216			- complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful
217			API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
218	root	1.69	- AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
219			(still subject to change).
220	root	1.63	- take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
221	root	1.68	- provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
222	root	1.67	allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
223			(used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
224	root	1.66	- remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
225			via Coro::AnyEvent.
226	root	1.63
227	root	1.62	3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
228			- added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
229	root	1.55	- fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
230			when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
231	root	1.54	- add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
232			the different event loops with each other.
233	root	1.56	- prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
234			but doesn't crash with many watchers.
235	root	1.62	- declare Qt support non-experimental.
236	root	1.56	- clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
237			kept alive.
238			- document the race between loading of an event module and
239			child processes exiting.
240	root	1.53	- support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
241	root	1.54	enough, and darn slow).
242	root	1.53	- support Wx and Prima through POE.
243	root	1.60	- optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
244	root	1.62	of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
245	root	1.60	select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
246			faster than Event and Glib :).
247	root	1.59	- roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
248	root	1.62	by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
249			to other event loops where possible.
250	root	1.53
251	root	1.50	3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
252	root	1.51	- do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
253			in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
254			for the same fh/poll combo).
255			- support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
256	root	1.47	- implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
257	root	1.49	- (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
258			- (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
259	root	1.52	- this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
260	root	1.47
261	root	1.46	3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
262			- reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
263			- do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
264			strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
265			- use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
266			better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
267			- do not send the signal to the process group
268			(no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
269
270	root	1.45	3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
271			- major documentation rework.
272			- document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
273			- fix the child watcher example.
274
275	root	1.43	3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
276	root	1.40	- work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
277	root	1.43	only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
278			don't get fixed anytime soon).
279	root	1.42	- lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
280			(as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
281			such strong limits).
282	root	1.41	- changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
283			- explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
284			unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
285			any restrictions...).
286			- add simple manpages for all backend modules.
287	root	1.40
288	root	1.39	3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
289	root	1.38	- Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
290			up the Coro implementation in general.
291			- rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
292			- add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
293	root	1.44	help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
294	root	1.38
295	root	1.37	2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
296			- update for EV 3.0 API changes.
297
298	root	1.36	2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
299			- waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
300			instead of reporting it to any watchers.
301
302	root	1.35	2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
303	root	1.34	- force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
304			too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
305	root	1.35	- deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
306			or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
307			watcher emulation. Could help with hanging testsuite
308			(except when Event or EV are installed).
309	root	1.34
310	root	1.33	2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
311	root	1.32	- fix bug in testsuite.
312			- move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
313			- add Coro+EV adaptor module.
314	root	1.26
315	root	1.31	2.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
316	root	1.27	- add EV to the list of supported event models.
317	root	1.30	- do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
318	root	1.29	- allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
319	root	1.27
320	root	1.25	2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
321			- work around a perl bug that results in
322			BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
323			any discernible reason or error message by once
324			again not use'ing strict.
325
326	root	1.24	2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
327			- make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
328
329	root	1.22	2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
330			- child watchers stopped working permanently when
331	root	1.23	all current child watchers were destroyed.
332	root	1.22
333	root	1.21	2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
334			- work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
335			true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
336
337	root	1.20	2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
338	root	1.19	- avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
339	root	1.20	- AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
340			- implement signal watchers (experimental)
341			(Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
342			so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
343			- implement child watchers (experimental).
344			- moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
345			most implementation modules.
346	root	1.14
347	root	1.18	2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
348	root	1.16	- better docs.
349			- simple testsuite.
350	root	1.17	- added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
351	root	1.16
352	root	1.15	2.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
353	root	1.13	- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
354			- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
355			- EXPERIMENTAL:
356			new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
357			event model.
358	root	1.12	- improved documentation.
359			- reduced cpu overhead.
360
361	root	1.11	1.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006
362			- add COPYING to clarify license.
363
364	root	1.10	1.01 Sun Jan 8 05:48:09 CET 2006

371	root	1.7	0.9 Fri Dec 30 02:25:41 CET 2005
372	root	1.6	- fixed errors in the documentation.
373	root	1.7	- going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
374			as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
375			this method.
376			- add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
377			and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
378			glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
379			(older) versions of glib.
380			- implemented PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE env variable.
381	root	1.6
382	root	1.5	0.3 Sun Dec 4 10:43:33 CET 2005
383			- no changes to the code.

385			- clarified some corner cases.
386			- vastly improved documentation with a long example.
387
