# User Rev Content
1 root 1.1 Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2    
3 root 1.247 - preliminary and neecssarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
4     - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
5     case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
6     even when the calling env acts stupidly.
7    
8 root 1.245 4.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
9 root 1.242 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
10     and set it on the default resolver.
11 root 1.241 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
12 root 1.242 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
13     when running in tainted mode.
14 root 1.244 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
15 root 1.241
16 root 1.240 4.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
17 root 1.239 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
18    
19 root 1.238 4.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
20 root 1.236 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
21     a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
22 root 1.237 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
23     destructors.
24     - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
25     synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
26     implementation.
27 root 1.238 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
28     for cosmetic reasons.
29 root 1.235
30 root 1.234 4.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
31     - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
32 root 1.232 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
33     - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
34     - sped up Tk timer handling.
35 root 1.233 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
36     to avoid spamming out warning messages.
37 root 1.232 - fix Qt timers without interval.
38 root 1.242 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
39 root 1.232
40 root 1.231 4.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
41 root 1.229 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
42 root 1.230 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
43     - add AnyEvent->now_update.
44 root 1.229
45 root 1.228 4.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
46 root 1.225 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
47 root 1.227 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
48     perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
49 root 1.226 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
50 root 1.225
51 root 1.224 4.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
52 root 1.220 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
53     invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
54     and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
55     event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
56     callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
57 root 1.224 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
58 root 1.223 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
59 root 1.220 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
60 root 1.221 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
61     is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
62 root 1.224 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
63 root 1.220
64 root 1.219 4.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
65 root 1.218 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
66     deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
67     read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
68 root 1.214 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
69 root 1.215 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
70     - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
71     backend.
72 root 1.216 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
73 root 1.214
74 root 1.213 4.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
75 root 1.212 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
76     completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
77     so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
78     (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
79     - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
80 root 1.211 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
81    
82 root 1.210 4.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
83     - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
84     illegal.
85 root 1.206 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
86     by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
87 root 1.207 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
88     by Adam Rosenstein).
89 root 1.209 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
90 root 1.208 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
91 root 1.209 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
92 root 1.206
93 root 1.205 4.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
94 root 1.204 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
95     unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
96     the socket type.
97     - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
98    
99 root 1.203 4.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
100 root 1.200 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
101 root 1.203 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
102 root 1.200 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
103     instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
104 root 1.201 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
105 root 1.202 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
106 root 1.198
107 root 1.197 4.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
108 root 1.196 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
109     unless one has been installed already.
110 root 1.197 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
111     (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
112 root 1.193 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
113     - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
114 root 1.191 client would first wait for some data by the server and
115 root 1.197 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
116 root 1.191 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
117 root 1.193 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
118 root 1.191 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
119 root 1.197 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
120 root 1.191 Rosenstein).
121 root 1.193 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
122 root 1.191 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
123     Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
124 root 1.192 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
125     - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
126     instead of simply destroying the stream now.
127 root 1.195 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
128     would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
129 root 1.193 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
130     - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
131     now, more to come, though.
132 root 1.194 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
133 root 1.191
134 root 1.190 4.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
135 root 1.189 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
136     no trace events.
137 root 1.190 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
138     - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
139 root 1.188 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
140 root 1.187 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
141 root 1.190 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
142 root 1.187 Time::HiRes).
143    
144 root 1.186 4.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
145     - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
146     - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
147    
148 root 1.185 4.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
149     - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
150     callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
151     (testcase by Leon Brocard).
152     - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
153    
154 root 1.184 4.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
155     - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
156     (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
157     perls without resource leaks or worse).
158    
159 root 1.183 4.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
160 root 1.177 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
161     the callback.
162 root 1.178 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
163 root 1.180 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
164 root 1.179 eol marker.
165 root 1.180 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
166 root 1.182 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
167 root 1.180 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
168 root 1.177
169 root 1.176 4.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
170 root 1.174 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
171 root 1.175 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
172     working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
173     some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
174     people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
175 root 1.174
176 root 1.173 4.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
177 root 1.171 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
178     which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
179 root 1.172 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
180     why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
181     unusable way.
182     - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
183     AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
184     K. Sharifulin).
185 root 1.170
186 root 1.169 4.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
187 root 1.165 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
188 root 1.164 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
189     be delayed under some circumstances.
190 root 1.167 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
191 root 1.169 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
192     and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
193     - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
194 root 1.168 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
195 root 1.164 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
196    
197 root 1.163 4.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
198 elmex 1.162 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
199 root 1.163 assumption that all data could be written before read
200     (reported by Jim Razmus).
201 elmex 1.162
202 root 1.161 4.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
203 root 1.160 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
204     not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
205     implementation (also affected child watchers).
206 root 1.159 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
207    
208 root 1.158 4.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
209 root 1.159 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
210     on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
211 root 1.158 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
212    
213 root 1.157 4.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
214     - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
215     works.
216    
217 root 1.155 4.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
218 root 1.154 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
219     one watcher was registered for the same fd.
220 root 1.155 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
221     for AnyEvent::Handle.
222 root 1.156 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
223 root 1.153 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
224    
225 root 1.152 4.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
226 elmex 1.149 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
227 root 1.150 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
228     executing the guard block as warnings.
229 root 1.152 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
230 elmex 1.149
231 root 1.148 4.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
232 root 1.146 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
233     contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
234     microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
235 root 1.147 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
236     but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
237     case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
238     and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
239 root 1.145 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
240     when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
241     and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
242     enter an endless loop.
243     - correctly start reading again when the handle became
244     busy again after idling.
245 root 1.146 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
246     (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
247 root 1.145 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
248     (hopefully).
249 root 1.146 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
250     away any time.
251 root 1.145
252 root 1.144 4.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
253     - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
254     anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
255 root 1.143 - allow more options in on_error.
256 root 1.142
257 root 1.141 4.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
258 root 1.135 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
259     reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
260     v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
261 root 1.129 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
262 root 1.130 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
263     also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
264 root 1.134 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
265 root 1.133 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
266     rfc 2782.
267 root 1.137 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
268     - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
269 root 1.138 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
270     being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
271     could die. this has been fixed.
272     - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
273     - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
274 root 1.139 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
275     for resolver class.
276 root 1.140 - update version numbers in all modules.
277 root 1.129
278 root 1.128 4.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
279 root 1.123 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
280     which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
281     for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
282     AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
283 root 1.127 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
284 root 1.124 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
285 root 1.123 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
286     - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
287     a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
288 root 1.126 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
289 root 1.122 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
290     - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
291 root 1.118 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
292     - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
293 root 1.120 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
294 root 1.127 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
295 root 1.121 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
296     select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
297     workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
298     but EV also works around this).
299 root 1.123 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
300 root 1.122 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
301     vs. callback arguments.
302 root 1.127 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
303 root 1.117
304 root 1.116 4.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
305     - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
306     the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
307     didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
308 root 1.114 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
309    
310 root 1.113 4.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
311 root 1.109 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
312 root 1.110 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
313     EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
314 root 1.111 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
315 root 1.106 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
316 root 1.112 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
317 root 1.104 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
318 root 1.114 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
319 root 1.107 sake of perl 5.8.
320 root 1.106 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
321     (still a hack...)
322     - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
323 root 1.108 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
324     die handlers.
325 root 1.104
326 root 1.102 4.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
327 root 1.100 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
328     error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
329 root 1.96 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
330 root 1.97 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
331 root 1.101 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
332 root 1.100 - updated documentation.
333 root 1.103 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
334 root 1.98 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
335     in AnyEvent::Handle.

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

361 root 1.81
362 root 1.80 3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
363 root 1.79 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
364     (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
365 root 1.77 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
366     helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
367     - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
368     - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
369     - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
370 elmex 1.74 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
371     first and second argument.
372 root 1.77 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
373 root 1.72 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
374 root 1.78 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
375     cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
376     and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
377 root 1.72
378 root 1.71 3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
379     - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
380    
381 root 1.70 3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
382 root 1.181 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
383 root 1.70 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
384 root 1.69 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
385     (still subject to change).
386 root 1.63 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
387 root 1.68 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
388 root 1.67 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
389     (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
390 root 1.66 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
391     via Coro::AnyEvent.
392 root 1.63
393 root 1.62 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
394     - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
395 root 1.55 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
396     when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
397 root 1.54 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
398     the different event loops with each other.
399 root 1.56 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
400     but doesn't crash with many watchers.
401 root 1.62 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
402 root 1.56 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
403     kept alive.
404     - document the race between loading of an event module and
405     child processes exiting.
406 root 1.53 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
407 root 1.54 enough, and darn slow).
408 root 1.53 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
409 root 1.60 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
410 root 1.62 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
411 root 1.60 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
412     faster than Event and Glib :).
413 root 1.59 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
414 root 1.62 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
415     to other event loops where possible.
416 root 1.53
417 root 1.50 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
418 root 1.51 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
419     in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
420     for the same fh/poll combo).
421     - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
422 root 1.47 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
423 root 1.49 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
424     - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
425 root 1.52 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
426 root 1.47
427 root 1.46 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
428     - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
429     - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
430     strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
431     - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
432     better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
433     - do not send the signal to the process group
434     (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
435    
436 root 1.45 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
437     - major documentation rework.
438     - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
439     - fix the child watcher example.
440    
441 root 1.43 3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
442 root 1.40 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
443 root 1.43 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
444     don't get fixed anytime soon).
445 root 1.42 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
446     (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
447     such strong limits).
448 root 1.41 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
449     - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
450     unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
451     any restrictions...).
452     - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
453 root 1.40
454 root 1.39 3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
455 root 1.38 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
456     up the Coro implementation in general.
457     - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
458     - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
459 root 1.44 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
460 root 1.38
461 root 1.37 2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
462     - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
463    
464 root 1.36 2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
465     - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
466     instead of reporting it to any watchers.
467    
468 root 1.35 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
469 root 1.34 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
470     too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
471 root 1.35 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
472     or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
473     watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
474     (except when Event or EV are installed).
475 root 1.34
476 root 1.33 2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
477 root 1.32 - fix bug in testsuite.
478     - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
479     - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
480 root 1.26
481 root 1.31 2.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
482 root 1.27 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
483 root 1.30 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
484 root 1.29 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
485 root 1.27
486 root 1.25 2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
487     - work around a perl bug that results in
488     BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
489     any discernible reason or error message by once
490     again not use'ing strict.
491    
492 root 1.24 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
493     - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
494    
495 root 1.22 2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
496     - child watchers stopped working permanently when
497 root 1.23 all current child watchers were destroyed.
498 root 1.22
499 root 1.21 2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
500     - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
501     true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
502    
503 root 1.20 2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
504 root 1.19 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
505 root 1.20 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
506     - implement signal watchers (experimental)
507     (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
508     so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
509     - implement child watchers (experimental).
510     - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
511     most implementation modules.
512 root 1.14
513 root 1.18 2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
514 root 1.16 - better docs.
515     - simple testsuite.
516 root 1.17 - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
517 root 1.16
518 root 1.15 2.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
519 root 1.13 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
520     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
521     - EXPERIMENTAL:
522     new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
523     event model.
524 root 1.12 - improved documentation.
525     - reduced cpu overhead.
526    
527 root 1.11 1.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006
528     - add COPYING to clarify license.
529    
530 root 1.10 1.01 Sun Jan 8 05:48:09 CET 2006
531     - correctly cancel Event timers, avoid memory leaks.
532    
533 root 1.9 1.0 Sun Jan 8 05:40:58 CET 2006
534 root 1.8 - allow third-party interfaces to be added at runtime.
535     - fix version number.
536    
537 root 1.7 0.9 Fri Dec 30 02:25:41 CET 2005
538 root 1.6 - fixed errors in the documentation.
539 root 1.7 - going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
540     as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
541     this method.
542     - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
543     and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
544     glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
545     (older) versions of glib.
546     - implemented PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE env variable.
547 root 1.6
548 root 1.5 0.3 Sun Dec 4 10:43:33 CET 2005
549     - no changes to the code.
550     - fixed documentation.
551     - clarified some corner cases.
552     - vastly improved documentation with a long example.
553    
554 root 1.3 0.2 Thu Dec 1 22:18:49 CET 2005
555 root 1.44 - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
556 root 1.4 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
557     - don't die when some modules are not available.
558     - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works.
559 root 1.3
560 root 1.2 0.1 Thu Dec 1 19:44:57 CET 2005
561     - spiced up and cleaned up for release.
