# User Rev Content
1 root 1.1 Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2    
3 root 1.241 TODO: document ->loop, and maybe one_event.
4 root 1.242 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
5     and set it on the default resolver.
6 root 1.241 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
7 root 1.242 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
8     when running in tainted mode.
9 root 1.241
10 root 1.240 4.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
11 root 1.239 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
12    
13 root 1.238 4.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
14 root 1.236 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
15     a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
16 root 1.237 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
17     destructors.
18     - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
19     synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
20     implementation.
21 root 1.238 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
22     for cosmetic reasons.
23 root 1.235
24 root 1.234 4.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
25     - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
26 root 1.232 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
27     - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
28     - sped up Tk timer handling.
29 root 1.233 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
30     to avoid spamming out warning messages.
31 root 1.232 - fix Qt timers without interval.
32 root 1.242 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
33 root 1.232
34 root 1.231 4.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
35 root 1.229 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
36 root 1.230 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
37     - add AnyEvent->now_update.
38 root 1.229
39 root 1.228 4.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
40 root 1.225 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
41 root 1.227 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
42     perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
43 root 1.226 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
44 root 1.225
45 root 1.224 4.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
46 root 1.220 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
47     invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
48     and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
49     event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
50     callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
51 root 1.224 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
52 root 1.223 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
53 root 1.220 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
54 root 1.221 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
55     is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
56 root 1.224 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
57 root 1.220
58 root 1.219 4.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
59 root 1.218 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
60     deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
61     read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
62 root 1.214 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
63 root 1.215 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
64     - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
65     backend.
66 root 1.216 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
67 root 1.214
68 root 1.213 4.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
69 root 1.212 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
70     completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
71     so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
72     (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
73     - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
74 root 1.211 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
75    
76 root 1.210 4.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
77     - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
78     illegal.
79 root 1.206 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
80     by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
81 root 1.207 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
82     by Adam Rosenstein).
83 root 1.209 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
84 root 1.208 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
85 root 1.209 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
86 root 1.206
87 root 1.205 4.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
88 root 1.204 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
89     unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
90     the socket type.
91     - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
92    
93 root 1.203 4.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
94 root 1.200 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
95 root 1.203 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
96 root 1.200 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
97     instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
98 root 1.201 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
99 root 1.202 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
100 root 1.198
101 root 1.197 4.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
102 root 1.196 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
103     unless one has been installed already.
104 root 1.197 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
105     (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
106 root 1.193 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
107     - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
108 root 1.191 client would first wait for some data by the server and
109 root 1.197 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
110 root 1.191 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
111 root 1.193 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
112 root 1.191 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
113 root 1.197 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
114 root 1.191 Rosenstein).
115 root 1.193 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
116 root 1.191 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
117     Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
118 root 1.192 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
119     - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
120     instead of simply destroying the stream now.
121 root 1.195 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
122     would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
123 root 1.193 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
124     - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
125     now, more to come, though.
126 root 1.194 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
127 root 1.191
128 root 1.190 4.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
129 root 1.189 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
130     no trace events.
131 root 1.190 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
132     - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
133 root 1.188 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
134 root 1.187 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
135 root 1.190 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
136 root 1.187 Time::HiRes).
137    
138 root 1.186 4.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
139     - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
140     - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
141    
142 root 1.185 4.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
143     - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
144     callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
145     (testcase by Leon Brocard).
146     - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
147    
148 root 1.184 4.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
149     - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
150     (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
151     perls without resource leaks or worse).
152    
153 root 1.183 4.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
154 root 1.177 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
155     the callback.
156 root 1.178 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
157 root 1.180 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
158 root 1.179 eol marker.
159 root 1.180 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
160 root 1.182 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
161 root 1.180 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
162 root 1.177
163 root 1.176 4.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
164 root 1.174 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
165 root 1.175 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
166     working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
167     some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
168     people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
169 root 1.174
170 root 1.173 4.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
171 root 1.171 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
172     which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
173 root 1.172 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
174     why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
175     unusable way.
176     - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
177     AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
178     K. Sharifulin).
179 root 1.170
180 root 1.169 4.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
181 root 1.165 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
182 root 1.164 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
183     be delayed under some circumstances.
184 root 1.167 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
185 root 1.169 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
186     and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
187     - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
188 root 1.168 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
189 root 1.164 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
190    
191 root 1.163 4.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
192 elmex 1.162 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
193 root 1.163 assumption that all data could be written before read
194     (reported by Jim Razmus).
195 elmex 1.162
196 root 1.161 4.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
197 root 1.160 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
198     not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
199     implementation (also affected child watchers).
200 root 1.159 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
201    
202 root 1.158 4.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
203 root 1.159 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
204     on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
205 root 1.158 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
206    
207 root 1.157 4.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
208     - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
209     works.
210    
211 root 1.155 4.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
212 root 1.154 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
213     one watcher was registered for the same fd.
214 root 1.155 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
215     for AnyEvent::Handle.
216 root 1.156 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
217 root 1.153 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
218    
219 root 1.152 4.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
220 elmex 1.149 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
221 root 1.150 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
222     executing the guard block as warnings.
223 root 1.152 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
224 elmex 1.149
225 root 1.148 4.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
226 root 1.146 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
227     contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
228     microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
229 root 1.147 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
230     but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
231     case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
232     and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
233 root 1.145 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
234     when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
235     and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
236     enter an endless loop.
237     - correctly start reading again when the handle became
238     busy again after idling.
239 root 1.146 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
240     (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
241 root 1.145 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
242     (hopefully).
243 root 1.146 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
244     away any time.
245 root 1.145
246 root 1.144 4.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
247     - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
248     anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
249 root 1.143 - allow more options in on_error.
250 root 1.142
251 root 1.141 4.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
252 root 1.135 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
253     reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
254     v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
255 root 1.129 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
256 root 1.130 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
257     also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
258 root 1.134 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
259 root 1.133 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
260     rfc 2782.
261 root 1.137 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
262     - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
263 root 1.138 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
264     being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
265     could die. this has been fixed.
266     - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
267     - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
268 root 1.139 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
269     for resolver class.
270 root 1.140 - update version numbers in all modules.
271 root 1.129
272 root 1.128 4.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
273 root 1.123 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
274     which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
275     for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
276     AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
277 root 1.127 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
278 root 1.124 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
279 root 1.123 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
280     - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
281     a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
282 root 1.126 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
283 root 1.122 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
284     - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
285 root 1.118 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
286     - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
287 root 1.120 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
288 root 1.127 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
289 root 1.121 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
290     select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
291     workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
292     but EV also works around this).
293 root 1.123 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
294 root 1.122 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
295     vs. callback arguments.
296 root 1.127 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
297 root 1.117
298 root 1.116 4.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
299     - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
300     the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
301     didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
302 root 1.114 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
303    
304 root 1.113 4.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
305 root 1.109 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
306 root 1.110 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
307     EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
308 root 1.111 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
309 root 1.106 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
310 root 1.112 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
311 root 1.104 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
312 root 1.114 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
313 root 1.107 sake of perl 5.8.
314 root 1.106 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
315     (still a hack...)
316     - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
317 root 1.108 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
318     die handlers.
319 root 1.104
320 root 1.102 4.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
321 root 1.100 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
322     error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
323 root 1.96 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
324 root 1.97 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
325 root 1.101 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
326 root 1.100 - updated documentation.
327 root 1.103 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
328 root 1.98 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
329     in AnyEvent::Handle.
330 root 1.101 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
331     - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.

336 root 1.88 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
337     - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
338 root 1.93 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
339 root 1.90 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
340     - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
341 root 1.94 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
342 root 1.93 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
343 root 1.89 verbatim ip addresses.
344 root 1.88 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
345 root 1.87 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
346 root 1.86 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
347 root 1.83 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
348 root 1.84 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
349 root 1.121 become writable until empty.

352 root 1.181 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
353 root 1.82 override.
354 root 1.91 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
355 root 1.81
356 root 1.80 3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
357 root 1.79 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
358     (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
359 root 1.77 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
360     helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
361     - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
362     - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
363     - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
364 elmex 1.74 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
365     first and second argument.
366 root 1.77 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
367 root 1.72 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
368 root 1.78 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
369     cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
370     and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
371 root 1.72
372 root 1.71 3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
373     - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
374    
375 root 1.70 3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
376 root 1.181 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
377 root 1.70 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
378 root 1.69 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
379     (still subject to change).
380 root 1.63 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
381 root 1.68 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
382 root 1.67 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
383     (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
384 root 1.66 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
385     via Coro::AnyEvent.
386 root 1.63
387 root 1.62 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
388     - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
389 root 1.55 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
390     when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
391 root 1.54 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
392     the different event loops with each other.
393 root 1.56 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
394     but doesn't crash with many watchers.
395 root 1.62 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
396 root 1.56 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
397     kept alive.
398     - document the race between loading of an event module and
399     child processes exiting.
400 root 1.53 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
401 root 1.54 enough, and darn slow).
402 root 1.53 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
403 root 1.60 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
404 root 1.62 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
405 root 1.60 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
406     faster than Event and Glib :).
407 root 1.59 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
408 root 1.62 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
409     to other event loops where possible.
410 root 1.53
411 root 1.50 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
412 root 1.51 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
413     in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
414     for the same fh/poll combo).
415     - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
416 root 1.47 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
417 root 1.49 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
418     - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
419 root 1.52 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
420 root 1.47
421 root 1.46 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
422     - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
423     - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
424     strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
425     - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
426     better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
427     - do not send the signal to the process group
428     (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
429    
430 root 1.45 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
431     - major documentation rework.
432     - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
433     - fix the child watcher example.
434    
435 root 1.43 3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
436 root 1.40 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
437 root 1.43 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
438     don't get fixed anytime soon).
439 root 1.42 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
440     (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
441     such strong limits).
442 root 1.41 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
443     - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
444     unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
445     any restrictions...).
446     - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
447 root 1.40
448 root 1.39 3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
449 root 1.38 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
450     up the Coro implementation in general.
451     - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
452     - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
453 root 1.44 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
454 root 1.38
455 root 1.37 2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
456     - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
457    
458 root 1.36 2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
459     - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
460     instead of reporting it to any watchers.
461    
462 root 1.35 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
463 root 1.34 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
464     too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
465 root 1.35 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
466     or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
467     watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
468     (except when Event or EV are installed).
469 root 1.34
470 root 1.33 2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
471 root 1.32 - fix bug in testsuite.
472     - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
473     - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
474 root 1.26
475 root 1.31 2.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
476 root 1.27 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
477 root 1.30 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
478 root 1.29 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
479 root 1.27
480 root 1.25 2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
481     - work around a perl bug that results in
482     BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
483     any discernible reason or error message by once
484     again not use'ing strict.
485    
486 root 1.24 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
487     - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
488    
489 root 1.22 2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
490     - child watchers stopped working permanently when
491 root 1.23 all current child watchers were destroyed.
492 root 1.22
493 root 1.21 2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
494     - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
495     true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
496    
497 root 1.20 2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
498 root 1.19 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
499 root 1.20 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
500     - implement signal watchers (experimental)
501     (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
502     so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
503     - implement child watchers (experimental).
504     - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
505     most implementation modules.
506 root 1.14
507 root 1.18 2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
508 root 1.16 - better docs.
509     - simple testsuite.
510 root 1.17 - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
511 root 1.16
512 root 1.15 2.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
513 root 1.13 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
514     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
515     - EXPERIMENTAL:
516     new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
517     event model.
518 root 1.12 - improved documentation.
519     - reduced cpu overhead.
520    
521 root 1.11 1.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006
522     - add COPYING to clarify license.
523    
524 root 1.10 1.01 Sun Jan 8 05:48:09 CET 2006
525     - correctly cancel Event timers, avoid memory leaks.
526    
527 root 1.9 1.0 Sun Jan 8 05:40:58 CET 2006
528 root 1.8 - allow third-party interfaces to be added at runtime.
529     - fix version number.

531 root 1.7 0.9 Fri Dec 30 02:25:41 CET 2005
532 root 1.6 - fixed errors in the documentation.
533 root 1.7 - going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
534     as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
535     this method.
536     - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
537     and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
538     glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
539     (older) versions of glib.
540     - implemented PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE env variable.
541 root 1.6
542 root 1.5 0.3 Sun Dec 4 10:43:33 CET 2005
543     - no changes to the code.
544     - fixed documentation.
545     - clarified some corner cases.
546     - vastly improved documentation with a long example.
547    
548 root 1.3 0.2 Thu Dec 1 22:18:49 CET 2005
549 root 1.44 - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
550 root 1.4 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
551     - don't die when some modules are not available.
552     - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works.
553 root 1.3
554 root 1.2 0.1 Thu Dec 1 19:44:57 CET 2005
555     - spiced up and cleaned up for release.
