1 root 1.1 Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2    
3 root 1.246 TODO: document ->loop, and maybe one_event.
4 root 1.245 4.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
5 root 1.242 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
6     and set it on the default resolver.
7 root 1.241 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
8 root 1.242 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
9     when running in tainted mode.
10 root 1.244 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
11 root 1.241
12 root 1.240 4.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
13 root 1.239 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
14    
15 root 1.238 4.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
16 root 1.236 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
17     a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
18 root 1.237 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
19     destructors.
20     - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
21     synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
22     implementation.
23 root 1.238 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
24     for cosmetic reasons.
25 root 1.235
26 root 1.234 4.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
27     - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
28 root 1.232 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
29     - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
30     - sped up Tk timer handling.
31 root 1.233 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
32     to avoid spamming out warning messages.
33 root 1.232 - fix Qt timers without interval.
34 root 1.242 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
35 root 1.232
36 root 1.231 4.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
37 root 1.229 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
38 root 1.230 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
39     - add AnyEvent->now_update.
40 root 1.229
41 root 1.228 4.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
42 root 1.225 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
43 root 1.227 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
44     perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
45 root 1.226 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
46 root 1.225
47 root 1.224 4.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
48 root 1.220 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
49     invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
50     and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
51     event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
52     callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
53 root 1.224 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
54 root 1.223 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
55 root 1.220 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
56 root 1.221 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
57     is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
58 root 1.224 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
59 root 1.220
60 root 1.219 4.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
61 root 1.218 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
62     deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
63     read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
64 root 1.214 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
65 root 1.215 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
66     - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
67     backend.
68 root 1.216 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
69 root 1.214
70 root 1.213 4.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
71 root 1.212 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
72     completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
73     so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
74     (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
75     - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
76 root 1.211 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
77    
78 root 1.210 4.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
79     - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
80     illegal.
81 root 1.206 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
82     by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
83 root 1.207 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
84     by Adam Rosenstein).
85 root 1.209 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
86 root 1.208 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
87 root 1.209 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
88 root 1.206
89 root 1.205 4.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
90 root 1.204 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
91     unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
92     the socket type.
93     - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
94    
95 root 1.203 4.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
96 root 1.200 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
97 root 1.203 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
98 root 1.200 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
99     instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
100 root 1.201 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
101 root 1.202 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
102 root 1.198
103 root 1.197 4.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
104 root 1.196 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
105     unless one has been installed already.
106 root 1.197 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
107     (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
108 root 1.193 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
109     - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
110 root 1.191 client would first wait for some data by the server and
111 root 1.197 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
112 root 1.191 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
113 root 1.193 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
114 root 1.191 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
115 root 1.197 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
116 root 1.191 Rosenstein).
117 root 1.193 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
118 root 1.191 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
119     Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
120 root 1.192 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
121     - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
122     instead of simply destroying the stream now.
123 root 1.195 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
124     would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
125 root 1.193 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
126     - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
127     now, more to come, though.
128 root 1.194 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
129 root 1.191
130 root 1.190 4.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
131 root 1.189 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
132     no trace events.
133 root 1.190 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
134     - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
135 root 1.188 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
136 root 1.187 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
137 root 1.190 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
138 root 1.187 Time::HiRes).
139    
140 root 1.186 4.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
141     - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
142     - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
143    
144 root 1.185 4.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
145     - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
146     callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
147     (testcase by Leon Brocard).
148     - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
149    
150 root 1.184 4.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
151     - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
152     (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
153     perls without resource leaks or worse).
154    
155 root 1.183 4.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
156 root 1.177 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
157     the callback.
158 root 1.178 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
159 root 1.180 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
160 root 1.179 eol marker.
161 root 1.180 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
162 root 1.182 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
163 root 1.180 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
164 root 1.177
165 root 1.176 4.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
166 root 1.174 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
167 root 1.175 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
168     working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
169     some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
170     people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
171 root 1.174
172 root 1.173 4.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
173 root 1.171 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
174     which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
175 root 1.172 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
176     why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
177     unusable way.
178     - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
179     AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
180     K. Sharifulin).
181 root 1.170
182 root 1.169 4.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
183 root 1.165 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
184 root 1.164 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
185     be delayed under some circumstances.
186 root 1.167 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
187 root 1.169 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
188     and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
189     - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
190 root 1.168 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
191 root 1.164 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
192    
193 root 1.163 4.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
194 elmex 1.162 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
195 root 1.163 assumption that all data could be written before read
196     (reported by Jim Razmus).
197 elmex 1.162
198 root 1.161 4.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
199 root 1.160 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
200     not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
201     implementation (also affected child watchers).
202 root 1.159 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
203    
204 root 1.158 4.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
205 root 1.159 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
206     on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
207 root 1.158 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
208    
209 root 1.157 4.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
210     - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
211     works.
212    
213 root 1.155 4.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
214 root 1.154 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
215     one watcher was registered for the same fd.
216 root 1.155 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
217     for AnyEvent::Handle.
218 root 1.156 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
219 root 1.153 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
220    
221 root 1.152 4.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
222 elmex 1.149 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
223 root 1.150 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
224     executing the guard block as warnings.
225 root 1.152 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
226 elmex 1.149
227 root 1.148 4.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
228 root 1.146 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
229     contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
230     microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
231 root 1.147 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
232     but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
233     case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
234     and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
235 root 1.145 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
236     when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
237     and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
238     enter an endless loop.
239     - correctly start reading again when the handle became
240     busy again after idling.
241 root 1.146 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
242     (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
243 root 1.145 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
244     (hopefully).
245 root 1.146 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
246     away any time.
247 root 1.145
248 root 1.144 4.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
249     - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
250     anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
251 root 1.143 - allow more options in on_error.
252 root 1.142
253 root 1.141 4.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
254 root 1.135 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
255     reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
256     v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
257 root 1.129 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
258 root 1.130 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
259     also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
260 root 1.134 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
261 root 1.133 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
262     rfc 2782.
263 root 1.137 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
264     - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
265 root 1.138 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
266     being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
267     could die. this has been fixed.
268     - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
269     - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
270 root 1.139 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
271     for resolver class.
272 root 1.140 - update version numbers in all modules.
273 root 1.129
274 root 1.128 4.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
275 root 1.123 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
276     which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
277     for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
278     AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
279 root 1.127 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
280 root 1.124 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
281 root 1.123 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
282     - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
283     a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
284 root 1.126 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
285 root 1.122 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
286     - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
287 root 1.118 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
288     - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
289 root 1.120 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
290 root 1.127 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
291 root 1.121 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
292     select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
293     workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
294     but EV also works around this).
295 root 1.123 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
296 root 1.122 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
297     vs. callback arguments.
298 root 1.127 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
299 root 1.117
300 root 1.116 4.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
301     - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
302     the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
303     didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
304 root 1.114 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
305    
306 root 1.113 4.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
307 root 1.109 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
308 root 1.110 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
309     EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
310 root 1.111 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
311 root 1.106 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
312 root 1.112 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
313 root 1.104 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
314 root 1.114 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
315 root 1.107 sake of perl 5.8.
316 root 1.106 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
317     (still a hack...)
318     - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
319 root 1.108 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
320     die handlers.
321 root 1.104
322 root 1.102 4.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
323 root 1.100 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
324     error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
325 root 1.96 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
326 root 1.97 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
327 root 1.101 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
328 root 1.100 - updated documentation.
329 root 1.103 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
330 root 1.98 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
331     in AnyEvent::Handle.
332 root 1.101 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.

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

354 root 1.181 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
355 root 1.82 override.
356 root 1.91 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
357 root 1.81
358 root 1.80 3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
359 root 1.79 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
360     (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
361 root 1.77 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
362     helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
363     - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
364     - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
365     - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
366 elmex 1.74 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
367     first and second argument.
368 root 1.77 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
369 root 1.72 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
370 root 1.78 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
371     cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
372     and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
373 root 1.72
374 root 1.71 3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008

376    
377 root 1.70 3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
378 root 1.181 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
379 root 1.70 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
380 root 1.69 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
381     (still subject to change).
382 root 1.63 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
383 root 1.68 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
384 root 1.67 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
385     (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
386 root 1.66 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
387     via Coro::AnyEvent.
388 root 1.63
389 root 1.62 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
390     - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
391 root 1.55 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
392     when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
393 root 1.54 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
394     the different event loops with each other.
395 root 1.56 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
396     but doesn't crash with many watchers.
397 root 1.62 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
398 root 1.56 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
399     kept alive.
400     - document the race between loading of an event module and
401     child processes exiting.
402 root 1.53 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
403 root 1.54 enough, and darn slow).
404 root 1.53 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
405 root 1.60 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
406 root 1.62 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
407 root 1.60 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
408     faster than Event and Glib :).
409 root 1.59 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
410 root 1.62 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
411     to other event loops where possible.
412 root 1.53
413 root 1.50 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
414 root 1.51 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
415     in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
416     for the same fh/poll combo).
417     - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
418 root 1.47 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
419 root 1.49 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
420     - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
421 root 1.52 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
422 root 1.47
423 root 1.46 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
424     - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
425     - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
426     strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
427     - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
428     better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
429     - do not send the signal to the process group
430     (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
431    
432 root 1.45 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008

435     - fix the child watcher example.

437 root 1.43 3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
438 root 1.40 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
439 root 1.43 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
440     don't get fixed anytime soon).
441 root 1.42 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
442     (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
443     such strong limits).
444 root 1.41 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
445     - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
446     unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
447     any restrictions...).
448     - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
449 root 1.40
450 root 1.39 3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
451 root 1.38 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
452     up the Coro implementation in general.
453     - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
454     - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
455 root 1.44 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
456 root 1.38
457 root 1.37 2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008

459    
460 root 1.36 2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
461     - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life

463    
464 root 1.35 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
465 root 1.34 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
466     too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
467 root 1.35 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
468     or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
469     watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
470     (except when Event or EV are installed).
471 root 1.34
472 root 1.33 2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007

478 root 1.27 - add EV to the list of supported event models.

481 root 1.27
482 root 1.25 2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007

486     again not use'ing strict.
487    
488 root 1.24 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007

491 root 1.22 2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007

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

498    
499 root 1.20 2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
500 root 1.19 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
501 root 1.20 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
502     - implement signal watchers (experimental)
503     (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
504     so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
505     - implement child watchers (experimental).
506     - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
507     most implementation modules.
508 root 1.14

516     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
517     - EXPERIMENTAL:
518     new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
519     event model.
520 root 1.12 - improved documentation.

534 root 1.6 - fixed errors in the documentation.
535 root 1.7 - going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
536     as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
537     this method.
538     - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
539     and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
540     glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
541     (older) versions of glib.
