# User Rev Content
1 root 1.1 Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2    
3 root 1.248 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
4 root 1.247 - 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 root 1.248 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
8 root 1.247
9 root 1.245 4.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
10 root 1.242 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
11     and set it on the default resolver.
12 root 1.241 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
13 root 1.242 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
14     when running in tainted mode.
15 root 1.244 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
16 root 1.241
17 root 1.240 4.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
18 root 1.239 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
19    
20 root 1.238 4.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
21 root 1.236 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
22     a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
23 root 1.237 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
24     destructors.
25     - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
26     synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
27     implementation.
28 root 1.238 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
29     for cosmetic reasons.
30 root 1.235
31 root 1.234 4.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
32     - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
33 root 1.232 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
34     - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
35     - sped up Tk timer handling.
36 root 1.233 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
37     to avoid spamming out warning messages.
38 root 1.232 - fix Qt timers without interval.
39 root 1.242 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
40 root 1.232
41 root 1.231 4.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
42 root 1.229 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
43 root 1.230 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
44     - add AnyEvent->now_update.
45 root 1.229
46 root 1.228 4.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
47 root 1.225 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
48 root 1.227 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
49     perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
50 root 1.226 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
51 root 1.225
52 root 1.224 4.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
53 root 1.220 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
54     invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
55     and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
56     event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
57     callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
58 root 1.224 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
59 root 1.223 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
60 root 1.220 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
61 root 1.221 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
62     is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
63 root 1.224 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
64 root 1.220
65 root 1.219 4.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
66 root 1.218 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
67     deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
68     read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
69 root 1.214 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
70 root 1.215 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
71     - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
72     backend.
73 root 1.216 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
74 root 1.214
75 root 1.213 4.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
76 root 1.212 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
77     completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
78     so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
79     (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
80     - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
81 root 1.211 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
82    
83 root 1.210 4.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
84     - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
85     illegal.
86 root 1.206 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
87     by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
88 root 1.207 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
89     by Adam Rosenstein).
90 root 1.209 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
91 root 1.208 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
92 root 1.209 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
93 root 1.206
94 root 1.205 4.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
95 root 1.204 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
96     unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
97     the socket type.
98     - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
99    
100 root 1.203 4.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
101 root 1.200 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
102 root 1.203 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
103 root 1.200 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
104     instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
105 root 1.201 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
106 root 1.202 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
107 root 1.198
108 root 1.197 4.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
109 root 1.196 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
110     unless one has been installed already.
111 root 1.197 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
112     (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
113 root 1.193 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
114     - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
115 root 1.191 client would first wait for some data by the server and
116 root 1.197 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
117 root 1.191 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
118 root 1.193 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
119 root 1.191 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
120 root 1.197 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
121 root 1.191 Rosenstein).
122 root 1.193 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
123 root 1.191 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
124     Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
125 root 1.192 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
126     - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
127     instead of simply destroying the stream now.
128 root 1.195 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
129     would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
130 root 1.193 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
131     - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
132     now, more to come, though.
133 root 1.194 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
134 root 1.191
135 root 1.190 4.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
136 root 1.189 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
137     no trace events.
138 root 1.190 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
139     - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
140 root 1.188 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
141 root 1.187 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
142 root 1.190 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
143 root 1.187 Time::HiRes).
144    
145 root 1.186 4.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
146     - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
147     - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
148    
149 root 1.185 4.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
150     - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
151     callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
152     (testcase by Leon Brocard).
153     - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
154    
155 root 1.184 4.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
156     - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
157     (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
158     perls without resource leaks or worse).
159    
160 root 1.183 4.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
161 root 1.177 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
162     the callback.
163 root 1.178 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
164 root 1.180 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
165 root 1.179 eol marker.
166 root 1.180 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
167 root 1.182 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
168 root 1.180 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
169 root 1.177
170 root 1.176 4.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
171 root 1.174 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
172 root 1.175 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
173     working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
174     some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
175     people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
176 root 1.174
177 root 1.173 4.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
178 root 1.171 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
179     which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
180 root 1.172 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
181     why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
182     unusable way.
183     - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
184     AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
185     K. Sharifulin).
186 root 1.170
187 root 1.169 4.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
188 root 1.165 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
189 root 1.164 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
190     be delayed under some circumstances.
191 root 1.167 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
192 root 1.169 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
193     and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
194     - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
195 root 1.168 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
196 root 1.164 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
197    
198 root 1.163 4.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
199 elmex 1.162 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
200 root 1.163 assumption that all data could be written before read
201     (reported by Jim Razmus).
202 elmex 1.162
203 root 1.161 4.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
204 root 1.160 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
205     not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
206     implementation (also affected child watchers).
207 root 1.159 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
208    
209 root 1.158 4.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
210 root 1.159 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
211     on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
212 root 1.158 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
213    
214 root 1.157 4.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
215     - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
216     works.
217    
218 root 1.155 4.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
219 root 1.154 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
220     one watcher was registered for the same fd.
221 root 1.155 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
222     for AnyEvent::Handle.
223 root 1.156 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
224 root 1.153 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
225    
226 root 1.152 4.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
227 elmex 1.149 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
228 root 1.150 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
229     executing the guard block as warnings.
230 root 1.152 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
231 elmex 1.149
232 root 1.148 4.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
233 root 1.146 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
234     contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
235     microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
236 root 1.147 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
237     but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
238     case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
239     and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
240 root 1.145 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
241     when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
242     and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
243     enter an endless loop.
244     - correctly start reading again when the handle became
245     busy again after idling.
246 root 1.146 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
247     (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
248 root 1.145 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
249     (hopefully).
250 root 1.146 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
251     away any time.
252 root 1.145
253 root 1.144 4.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
254     - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
255     anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
256 root 1.143 - allow more options in on_error.
257 root 1.142
258 root 1.141 4.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
259 root 1.135 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
260     reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
261     v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
262 root 1.129 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
263 root 1.130 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
264     also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
265 root 1.134 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
266 root 1.133 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
267     rfc 2782.
268 root 1.137 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
269     - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
270 root 1.138 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
271     being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
272     could die. this has been fixed.
273     - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
274     - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
275 root 1.139 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
276     for resolver class.
277 root 1.140 - update version numbers in all modules.
278 root 1.129
279 root 1.128 4.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
280 root 1.123 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
281     which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
282     for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
283     AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
284 root 1.127 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
285 root 1.124 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
286 root 1.123 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
287     - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
288     a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
289 root 1.126 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
290 root 1.122 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
291     - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
292 root 1.118 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
293     - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
294 root 1.120 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
295 root 1.127 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
296 root 1.121 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
297     select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
298     workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
299     but EV also works around this).
300 root 1.123 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
301 root 1.122 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
302     vs. callback arguments.
303 root 1.127 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
304 root 1.117
305 root 1.116 4.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
306     - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
307     the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
308     didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
309 root 1.114 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
310    
311 root 1.113 4.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
312 root 1.109 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
313 root 1.110 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
314     EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
315 root 1.111 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
316 root 1.106 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
317 root 1.112 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
318 root 1.104 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
319 root 1.114 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
320 root 1.107 sake of perl 5.8.
321 root 1.106 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
322     (still a hack...)
323     - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
324 root 1.108 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
325     die handlers.
326 root 1.104
327 root 1.102 4.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
328 root 1.100 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
329     error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
330 root 1.96 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
331 root 1.97 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
332 root 1.101 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
333 root 1.100 - updated documentation.
334 root 1.103 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
335 root 1.98 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
336     in AnyEvent::Handle.

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

359 root 1.181 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
360 root 1.82 override.
361 root 1.91 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
362 root 1.81
363 root 1.80 3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
364 root 1.79 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
365     (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
366 root 1.77 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
367     helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
368     - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
369     - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
370     - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
371 elmex 1.74 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
372     first and second argument.
373 root 1.77 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
374 root 1.72 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
375 root 1.78 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
376     cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
377     and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
378 root 1.72
379 root 1.71 3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
380     - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
381    
382 root 1.70 3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
383 root 1.181 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
384 root 1.70 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
385 root 1.69 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
386     (still subject to change).
387 root 1.63 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
388 root 1.68 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
389 root 1.67 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
390     (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
391 root 1.66 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
392     via Coro::AnyEvent.
393 root 1.63
394 root 1.62 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
395     - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
396 root 1.55 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
397     when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
398 root 1.54 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
399     the different event loops with each other.
400 root 1.56 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
401     but doesn't crash with many watchers.
402 root 1.62 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
403 root 1.56 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
404     kept alive.
405     - document the race between loading of an event module and
406     child processes exiting.
407 root 1.53 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
408 root 1.54 enough, and darn slow).
409 root 1.53 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
410 root 1.60 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
411 root 1.62 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
412 root 1.60 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
413     faster than Event and Glib :).
414 root 1.59 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
415 root 1.62 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
416     to other event loops where possible.
417 root 1.53
418 root 1.50 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
419 root 1.51 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
420     in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
421     for the same fh/poll combo).
422     - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
423 root 1.47 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
424 root 1.49 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
425     - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
426 root 1.52 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
427 root 1.47
428 root 1.46 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
429     - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
430     - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
431     strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
432     - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
433     better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
434     - do not send the signal to the process group
435     (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
436    
437 root 1.45 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
438     - major documentation rework.
439     - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
440     - fix the child watcher example.
441    
442 root 1.43 3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
443 root 1.40 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
444 root 1.43 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
445     don't get fixed anytime soon).
446 root 1.42 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
447     (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
448     such strong limits).
449 root 1.41 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
450     - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
451     unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
452     any restrictions...).
453     - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
454 root 1.40
455 root 1.39 3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
456 root 1.38 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
457     up the Coro implementation in general.
458     - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
459     - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
460 root 1.44 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
461 root 1.38
462 root 1.37 2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
463     - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
464    
465 root 1.36 2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
466     - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
467     instead of reporting it to any watchers.
468    
469 root 1.35 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
470 root 1.34 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
471     too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
472 root 1.35 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
473     or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
474     watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
475     (except when Event or EV are installed).
476 root 1.34
477 root 1.33 2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
478 root 1.32 - fix bug in testsuite.

480     - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
481 root 1.26
482 root 1.31 2.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
483 root 1.27 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
484 root 1.30 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
485 root 1.29 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
486 root 1.27
487 root 1.25 2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
488     - work around a perl bug that results in
489     BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
490     any discernible reason or error message by once
491     again not use'ing strict.
492    
493 root 1.24 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007

495    
496 root 1.22 2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
497     - child watchers stopped working permanently when
498 root 1.23 all current child watchers were destroyed.
499 root 1.22
500 root 1.21 2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
501     - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
502     true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
503    
504 root 1.20 2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
505 root 1.19 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
506 root 1.20 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
507     - implement signal watchers (experimental)
508     (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
509     so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
510     - implement child watchers (experimental).
511     - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
512     most implementation modules.
513 root 1.14
514 root 1.18 2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
515 root 1.16 - better docs.

518 root 1.16
519 root 1.15 2.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
520 root 1.13 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
521     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
522     - EXPERIMENTAL:
523     new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
524     event model.
525 root 1.12 - improved documentation.
526     - reduced cpu overhead.
527    
528 root 1.11 1.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006

538 root 1.7 0.9 Fri Dec 30 02:25:41 CET 2005
539 root 1.6 - fixed errors in the documentation.
540 root 1.7 - going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
541     as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
542     this method.
543     - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
544     and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
545     glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
546     (older) versions of glib.
547     - implemented PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE env variable.
548 root 1.6
549 root 1.5 0.3 Sun Dec 4 10:43:33 CET 2005

556 root 1.44 - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
557 root 1.4 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
558     - don't die when some modules are not available.
559     - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works.
560 root 1.3
561 root 1.2 0.1 Thu Dec 1 19:44:57 CET 2005
