2    
3 root 1.245 4.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
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 1.244 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
10 root 1.241
11 root 1.240 4.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
12 root 1.239 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
13    
14 root 1.238 4.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
15 root 1.236 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
16     a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
17 root 1.237 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
18     destructors.
19     - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
20     synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
21     implementation.
22 root 1.238 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
23     for cosmetic reasons.
24 root 1.235
25 root 1.234 4.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
26     - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
27 root 1.232 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
28     - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
29     - sped up Tk timer handling.
30 root 1.233 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
31     to avoid spamming out warning messages.
32 root 1.232 - fix Qt timers without interval.
33 root 1.242 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
34 root 1.232
35 root 1.231 4.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
36 root 1.229 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
37 root 1.230 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
38     - add AnyEvent->now_update.
39 root 1.229
40 root 1.228 4.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
41 root 1.225 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
42 root 1.227 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
43     perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
44 root 1.226 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
45 root 1.225
46 root 1.224 4.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
47 root 1.220 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
48     invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
49     and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
50     event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
51     callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
52 root 1.224 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
53 root 1.223 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
54 root 1.220 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
55 root 1.221 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
56     is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
57 root 1.224 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
58 root 1.220
59 root 1.219 4.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
60 root 1.218 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
61     deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
62     read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
63 root 1.214 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
64 root 1.215 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
65     - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
66     backend.
67 root 1.216 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
68 root 1.214
69 root 1.213 4.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
70 root 1.212 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
71     completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
72     so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
73     (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
74     - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
75 root 1.211 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
76    
77 root 1.210 4.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
78     - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
79     illegal.
80 root 1.206 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
81     by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
82 root 1.207 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
83     by Adam Rosenstein).
84 root 1.209 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
85 root 1.208 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
86 root 1.209 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
87 root 1.206
88 root 1.205 4.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
89 root 1.204 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
90     unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
91     the socket type.
92     - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
93    
94 root 1.203 4.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
95 root 1.200 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
96 root 1.203 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
97 root 1.200 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
98     instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
99 root 1.201 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
100 root 1.202 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
101 root 1.198
102 root 1.197 4.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
103 root 1.196 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
104     unless one has been installed already.
105 root 1.197 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
106     (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
107 root 1.193 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
108     - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
109 root 1.191 client would first wait for some data by the server and
110 root 1.197 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
111 root 1.191 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
112 root 1.193 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
113 root 1.191 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
114 root 1.197 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
115 root 1.191 Rosenstein).
116 root 1.193 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
117 root 1.191 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
118     Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
119 root 1.192 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
120     - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
121     instead of simply destroying the stream now.
122 root 1.195 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
123     would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
124 root 1.193 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
125     - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
126     now, more to come, though.
127 root 1.194 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
128 root 1.191
129 root 1.190 4.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
130 root 1.189 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
131     no trace events.
132 root 1.190 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
133     - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
134 root 1.188 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
135 root 1.187 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
136 root 1.190 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
137 root 1.187 Time::HiRes).
138    
139 root 1.186 4.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
140     - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
141     - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
142    
143 root 1.185 4.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
144     - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
145     callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
146     (testcase by Leon Brocard).
147     - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
148    
149 root 1.184 4.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
150     - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
151     (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
152     perls without resource leaks or worse).
153    
154 root 1.183 4.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
155 root 1.177 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
156     the callback.
157 root 1.178 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
158 root 1.180 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
159 root 1.179 eol marker.
160 root 1.180 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
161 root 1.182 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
162 root 1.180 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
163 root 1.177
164 root 1.176 4.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
165 root 1.174 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
166 root 1.175 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
167     working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
168     some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
169     people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
170 root 1.174
171 root 1.173 4.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
172 root 1.171 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
173     which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
174 root 1.172 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
175     why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
176     unusable way.
177     - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
178     AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
179     K. Sharifulin).
180 root 1.170
181 root 1.169 4.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
182 root 1.165 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
183 root 1.164 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
184     be delayed under some circumstances.
185 root 1.167 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
186 root 1.169 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
187     and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
188     - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
189 root 1.168 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
190 root 1.164 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
191    
192 root 1.163 4.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
193 elmex 1.162 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
194 root 1.163 assumption that all data could be written before read
195     (reported by Jim Razmus).
196 elmex 1.162
197 root 1.161 4.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
198 root 1.160 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
199     not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
200     implementation (also affected child watchers).
201 root 1.159 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
202    
203 root 1.158 4.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
204 root 1.159 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
205     on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
206 root 1.158 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
207    
208 root 1.157 4.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
209     - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
210     works.
211    
212 root 1.155 4.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
213 root 1.154 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
214     one watcher was registered for the same fd.
215 root 1.155 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
216     for AnyEvent::Handle.
217 root 1.156 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
218 root 1.153 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
219    
220 root 1.152 4.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
221 elmex 1.149 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
222 root 1.150 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
223     executing the guard block as warnings.
224 root 1.152 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
225 elmex 1.149
226 root 1.148 4.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
227 root 1.146 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
228     contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
229     microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
230 root 1.147 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
231     but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
232     case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
233     and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
234 root 1.145 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
235     when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
236     and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
237     enter an endless loop.
238     - correctly start reading again when the handle became
239     busy again after idling.
240 root 1.146 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
241     (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
242 root 1.145 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
243     (hopefully).
244 root 1.146 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
245     away any time.
246 root 1.145
247 root 1.144 4.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
248     - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
249     anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
250 root 1.143 - allow more options in on_error.
251 root 1.142
252 root 1.141 4.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
253 root 1.135 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
254     reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
255     v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
256 root 1.129 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
257 root 1.130 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
258     also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
259 root 1.134 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
260 root 1.133 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
261     rfc 2782.
262 root 1.137 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
263     - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
264 root 1.138 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
265     being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
266     could die. this has been fixed.
267     - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
268     - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
269 root 1.139 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
270     for resolver class.
271 root 1.140 - update version numbers in all modules.
272 root 1.129
273 root 1.128 4.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
274 root 1.123 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
275     which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
276     for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
277     AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
278 root 1.127 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
279 root 1.124 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
280 root 1.123 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
281     - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
282     a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
283 root 1.126 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
284 root 1.122 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
285     - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
286 root 1.118 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
287     - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
288 root 1.120 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
289 root 1.127 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
290 root 1.121 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
291     select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
292     workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
293     but EV also works around this).
294 root 1.123 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
295 root 1.122 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
296     vs. callback arguments.
297 root 1.127 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
298 root 1.117
299 root 1.116 4.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
300     - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
301     the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
302     didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
303 root 1.114 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
304    
305 root 1.113 4.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
306 root 1.109 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
307 root 1.110 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
308     EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
309 root 1.111 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
310 root 1.106 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
311 root 1.112 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
312 root 1.104 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
313 root 1.114 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
314 root 1.107 sake of perl 5.8.
315 root 1.106 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
316     (still a hack...)
317     - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
318 root 1.108 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
319     die handlers.
320 root 1.104
321 root 1.102 4.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
322 root 1.100 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
323     error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
324 root 1.96 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
325 root 1.97 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
326 root 1.101 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
327 root 1.100 - updated documentation.
328 root 1.103 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
329 root 1.98 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
330     in AnyEvent::Handle.

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

353 root 1.181 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
354 root 1.82 override.
355 root 1.91 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
356 root 1.81
357 root 1.80 3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
358 root 1.79 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
359     (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
360 root 1.77 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
361     helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
362     - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
363     - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
364     - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
365 elmex 1.74 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
366     first and second argument.
367 root 1.77 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
368 root 1.72 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
369 root 1.78 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
370     cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
371     and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
372 root 1.72
373 root 1.71 3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
374     - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
375    
376 root 1.70 3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
377 root 1.181 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
378 root 1.70 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
379 root 1.69 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
380     (still subject to change).
381 root 1.63 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
382 root 1.68 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
383 root 1.67 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
384     (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
385 root 1.66 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
386     via Coro::AnyEvent.
387 root 1.63
388 root 1.62 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
389     - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
390 root 1.55 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
391     when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
392 root 1.54 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
393     the different event loops with each other.
394 root 1.56 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
395     but doesn't crash with many watchers.
396 root 1.62 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
397 root 1.56 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
398     kept alive.
399     - document the race between loading of an event module and
400     child processes exiting.
401 root 1.53 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
402 root 1.54 enough, and darn slow).
403 root 1.53 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
404 root 1.60 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
405 root 1.62 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
406 root 1.60 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
407     faster than Event and Glib :).
408 root 1.59 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
409 root 1.62 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
410     to other event loops where possible.
411 root 1.53
412 root 1.50 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
413 root 1.51 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
414     in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
415     for the same fh/poll combo).
416     - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
417 root 1.47 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
418 root 1.49 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
419     - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
420 root 1.52 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
421 root 1.47
422 root 1.46 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
423     - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
424     - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
425     strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
426     - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
427     better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
428     - do not send the signal to the process group
429     (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
430    
431 root 1.45 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
432     - major documentation rework.
433     - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
434     - fix the child watcher example.
435    
436 root 1.43 3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
437 root 1.40 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
438 root 1.43 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
439     don't get fixed anytime soon).
440 root 1.42 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
441     (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
442     such strong limits).
443 root 1.41 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
444     - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
445     unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
446     any restrictions...).
447     - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
448 root 1.40
449 root 1.39 3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
450 root 1.38 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
451     up the Coro implementation in general.
452     - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
453     - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
454 root 1.44 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
455 root 1.38
456 root 1.37 2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008

458    
459 root 1.36 2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
460     - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
461     instead of reporting it to any watchers.
462    
463 root 1.35 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
464 root 1.34 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
465     too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
466 root 1.35 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
467     or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
468     watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
469     (except when Event or EV are installed).
470 root 1.34
471 root 1.33 2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
472 root 1.32 - fix bug in testsuite.

474     - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
475 root 1.26
476 root 1.31 2.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
477 root 1.27 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
478 root 1.30 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
479 root 1.29 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
480 root 1.27
481 root 1.25 2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
482     - work around a perl bug that results in

484     any discernible reason or error message by once
485     again not use'ing strict.
486    
487 root 1.24 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007

489    
490 root 1.22 2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
491     - child watchers stopped working permanently when

493 root 1.22
494 root 1.21 2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006

496     true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
497    
498 root 1.20 2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
499 root 1.19 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
500 root 1.20 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
501     - implement signal watchers (experimental)
502     (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
503     so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
504     - implement child watchers (experimental).
505     - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
506     most implementation modules.
507 root 1.14
508 root 1.18 2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
509 root 1.16 - better docs.

512 root 1.16
513 root 1.15 2.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
514 root 1.13 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
515     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
516     - EXPERIMENTAL:
517     new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
518     event model.
519 root 1.12 - improved documentation.

533 root 1.6 - fixed errors in the documentation.
534 root 1.7 - going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
535     as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
536     this method.
537     - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
538     and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
539     glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
540     (older) versions of glib.
541     - implemented PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE env variable.
542 root 1.6
543 root 1.5 0.3 Sun Dec 4 10:43:33 CET 2005
