[ViewVC] Annotation of: cvs/AnyEvent/Changes

Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.

        - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
          the callback.
        - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
        - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
          eol marker.
        - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
        - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.

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.

12	root	1.174	- new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
13	root	1.175	- as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
14			working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
15			some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
16			people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
17	root	1.174
18	root	1.173	4.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
19	root	1.171	- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
20			which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
21	root	1.172	- work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
22			why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
23			unusable way.
24			- avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
25			AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
26			K. Sharifulin).
27	root	1.170
28	root	1.169	4.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
29	root	1.165	- support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
30	root	1.164	- fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
31			be delayed under some circumstances.
32	root	1.167	- implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
33	root	1.169	- not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
34			and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
35			- more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
36	root	1.168	seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
37	root	1.164	- minor optimisations applied to most backends.
38
39	root	1.163	4.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
40	elmex	1.162	- fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
41	root	1.163	assumption that all data could be written before read
42			(reported by Jim Razmus).
43	elmex	1.162
44	root	1.161	4.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
45	root	1.160	- re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
46			not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
47			implementation (also affected child watchers).
48	root	1.159	- new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
49
50	root	1.158	4.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
51	root	1.159	- allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
52			on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
53	root	1.158	analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
54
55	root	1.157	4.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
56			- make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
57			works.
58
59	root	1.155	4.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
60	root	1.154	- the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
61			one watcher was registered for the same fd.
62	root	1.155	- new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
63			for AnyEvent::Handle.
64	root	1.156	- allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
65	root	1.153	- do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
66
67	root	1.152	4.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
68	elmex	1.149	- Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
69	root	1.150	- AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
70			executing the guard block as warnings.
71	root	1.152	- handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
72	elmex	1.149
73	root	1.148	4.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
74	root	1.146	- AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
75			contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
76			microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
77	root	1.147	- AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
78			but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
79			case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
80			and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
81	root	1.145	- fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
82			when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
83			and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
84			enter an endless loop.
85			- correctly start reading again when the handle became
86			busy again after idling.
87	root	1.146	- correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
88			(for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
89	root	1.145	- correctly call eof callback under all conditions
90			(hopefully).
91	root	1.146	- the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
92			away any time.
93	root	1.145
94	root	1.144	4.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008

98	root	1.142
99	root	1.141	4.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
100	root	1.135	- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
101			reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
102			v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
103	root	1.129	- provide more documentation for the resolver class.
104	root	1.130	- really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
105			also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
106	root	1.134	- support NAPTR record name and decode it.
107	root	1.133	- implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
108			rfc 2782.
109	root	1.137	- correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
110			- added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
111	root	1.138	- in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
112			being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
113			could die. this has been fixed.
114			- plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
115			- use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
116	root	1.139	- implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
117			for resolver class.
118	root	1.140	- update version numbers in all modules.
119	root	1.129
120	root	1.128	4.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
121	root	1.123	- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
122			which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
123			for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
124			AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
125	root	1.127	- implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
126	root	1.124	- fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
127	root	1.123	- officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
128			- support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
129			a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
130	root	1.126	- implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
131	root	1.122	- added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
132			- added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
133	root	1.118	- always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
134			- document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
135	root	1.120	- implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
136	root	1.127	- add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
137	root	1.121	- work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
138			select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
139			workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
140			but EV also works around this).
141	root	1.123	- supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
142	root	1.122	- clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
143			vs. callback arguments.
144	root	1.127	- add some recommends to the META.yml.
145	root	1.117
146	root	1.116	4.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
147			- some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
148			the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
149			didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
150	root	1.114	- undo the import WIN32 hack.
151
152	root	1.113	4.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
153	root	1.109	- try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
154	root	1.110	as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
155			EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
156	root	1.111	- optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
157	root	1.106	- properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
158	root	1.112	- tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
159	root	1.104	- check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
160	root	1.114	support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
161	root	1.107	sake of perl 5.8.
162	root	1.106	- vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
163			(still a hack...)
164			- try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
165	root	1.108	- splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
166			die handlers.
167	root	1.104
168	root	1.102	4.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
169	root	1.100	- work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
170			error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
171	root	1.96	- fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
172	root	1.97	- AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
173	root	1.101	- fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
174	root	1.100	- updated documentation.
175	root	1.103	- lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
176	root	1.98	- implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
177			in AnyEvent::Handle.
178	root	1.101	- support IPv6 in tcp_server.
179			- pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
180	root	1.99	- make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
181	root	1.100	- croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
182	root	1.96
183	root	1.95	4.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
184	root	1.88	- added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
185			- added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
186	root	1.93	- added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
187	root	1.90	- make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
188			- make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
189	root	1.94	- overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
190	root	1.93	- support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
191	root	1.89	verbatim ip addresses.
192	root	1.88	- AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
193	root	1.87	- try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
194	root	1.86	- make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
195	root	1.83	- support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
196	root	1.84	- work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
197	root	1.121	become writable until empty.
198	root	1.81	- only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
199			returns ENOTCONN.
200	root	1.82	- defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP brutal
201			override.
202	root	1.91	- new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
203	root	1.81
204	root	1.80	3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
205	root	1.79	- gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
206			(as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
207	root	1.77	- added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
208			helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
209			- added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
210			- added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
211			- AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
212	elmex	1.74	- fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
213			first and second argument.
214	root	1.77	- simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
215	root	1.72	- fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
216	root	1.78	- considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
217			cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
218			and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
219	root	1.72
220	root	1.71	3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
221			- work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
222
223	root	1.70	3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
224			- complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful
225			API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
226	root	1.69	- AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
227			(still subject to change).
228	root	1.63	- take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
229	root	1.68	- provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
230	root	1.67	allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
231			(used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
232	root	1.66	- remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
233			via Coro::AnyEvent.
234	root	1.63
235	root	1.62	3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
236			- added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
237	root	1.55	- fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
238			when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
239	root	1.54	- add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
240			the different event loops with each other.
241	root	1.56	- prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
242			but doesn't crash with many watchers.
243	root	1.62	- declare Qt support non-experimental.
244	root	1.56	- clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
245			kept alive.
246			- document the race between loading of an event module and
247			child processes exiting.
248	root	1.53	- support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
249	root	1.54	enough, and darn slow).
250	root	1.53	- support Wx and Prima through POE.
251	root	1.60	- optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
252	root	1.62	of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
253	root	1.60	select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
254			faster than Event and Glib :).
255	root	1.59	- roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
256	root	1.62	by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
257			to other event loops where possible.
258	root	1.53
259	root	1.50	3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
260	root	1.51	- do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
261			in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
262			for the same fh/poll combo).
263			- support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
264	root	1.47	- implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
265	root	1.49	- (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
266			- (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
267	root	1.52	- this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
268	root	1.47
269	root	1.46	3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
270			- reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
271			- do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
272			strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
273			- use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
274			better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
275			- do not send the signal to the process group
276			(no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
277
278	root	1.45	3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
279			- major documentation rework.
280			- document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
281			- fix the child watcher example.
282
283	root	1.43	3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
284	root	1.40	- work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
285	root	1.43	only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
286			don't get fixed anytime soon).
287	root	1.42	- lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
288			(as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
289			such strong limits).
290	root	1.41	- changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
291			- explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
292			unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
293			any restrictions...).
294			- add simple manpages for all backend modules.
295	root	1.40
296	root	1.39	3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
297	root	1.38	- Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
298			up the Coro implementation in general.
299			- rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
300			- add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
301	root	1.44	help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
302	root	1.38
303	root	1.37	2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
304			- update for EV 3.0 API changes.
305
306	root	1.36	2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
307			- waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
308			instead of reporting it to any watchers.
309
310	root	1.35	2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
311	root	1.34	- force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
312			too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
313	root	1.35	- deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
314			or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
315			watcher emulation. Could help with hanging testsuite
316			(except when Event or EV are installed).
317	root	1.34
318	root	1.33	2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
319	root	1.32	- fix bug in testsuite.
320			- move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
321			- add Coro+EV adaptor module.
322	root	1.26
323	root	1.31	2.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
324	root	1.27	- add EV to the list of supported event models.
325	root	1.30	- do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
326	root	1.29	- allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
327	root	1.27
328	root	1.25	2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
329			- work around a perl bug that results in
330			BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
331			any discernible reason or error message by once
332			again not use'ing strict.
333
334	root	1.24	2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
335			- make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
336
337	root	1.22	2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
338			- child watchers stopped working permanently when
339	root	1.23	all current child watchers were destroyed.
340	root	1.22
341	root	1.21	2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
342			- work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
343			true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
344
345	root	1.20	2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
346	root	1.19	- avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
347	root	1.20	- AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
348			- implement signal watchers (experimental)
349			(Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
350			so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
351			- implement child watchers (experimental).
352			- moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
353			most implementation modules.
354	root	1.14
355	root	1.18	2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
356	root	1.16	- better docs.
357			- simple testsuite.
358	root	1.17	- added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
359	root	1.16
360	root	1.15	2.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
361	root	1.13	- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
362			- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
363			- EXPERIMENTAL:
364			new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
365			event model.
366	root	1.12	- improved documentation.
367			- reduced cpu overhead.
368
369	root	1.11	1.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006
370			- add COPYING to clarify license.
371
372	root	1.10	1.01 Sun Jan 8 05:48:09 CET 2006

380	root	1.6	- fixed errors in the documentation.
381	root	1.7	- going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
382			as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
383			this method.
384			- add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
385			and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
386			glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
387			(older) versions of glib.
388			- implemented PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE env variable.

397	root	1.44	- check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
398	root	1.4	- move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
399			- don't die when some modules are not available.
400			- Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works.
