1 root 1.1 Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2    
3 root 1.250 TODO: parse ipv6 mapped addresses transparently
4     - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
5    
6 root 1.249 4.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
7 root 1.248 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
8 root 1.247 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
9     case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
10     even when the calling env acts stupidly.
11 root 1.248 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
12 root 1.247
13 root 1.245 4.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
14 root 1.242 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
15     and set it on the default resolver.
16 root 1.241 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
17 root 1.242 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
18     when running in tainted mode.
19 root 1.244 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
20 root 1.241
21 root 1.240 4.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
22 root 1.239 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
23    
24 root 1.238 4.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
25 root 1.236 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
26     a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
27 root 1.237 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
28     destructors.
29     - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
30     synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
31     implementation.
32 root 1.238 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
33     for cosmetic reasons.
34 root 1.235
35 root 1.234 4.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
36     - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
37 root 1.232 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
38     - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
39     - sped up Tk timer handling.
40 root 1.233 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
41     to avoid spamming out warning messages.
42 root 1.232 - fix Qt timers without interval.
43 root 1.242 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
44 root 1.232
45 root 1.231 4.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
46 root 1.229 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
47 root 1.230 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
48     - add AnyEvent->now_update.
49 root 1.229
50 root 1.228 4.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
51 root 1.225 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
52 root 1.227 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
53     perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
54 root 1.226 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
55 root 1.225
56 root 1.224 4.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
57 root 1.220 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
58     invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
59     and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
60     event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
61     callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
62 root 1.224 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
63 root 1.223 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
64 root 1.220 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
65 root 1.221 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
66     is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
67 root 1.224 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
68 root 1.220
69 root 1.219 4.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
70 root 1.218 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
71     deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
72     read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
73 root 1.214 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
74 root 1.215 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
75     - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
76     backend.
77 root 1.216 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
78 root 1.214
79 root 1.213 4.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
80 root 1.212 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
81     completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
82     so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
83     (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
84     - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
85 root 1.211 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
86    
87 root 1.210 4.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
88     - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
89     illegal.
90 root 1.206 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
91     by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
92 root 1.207 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
93     by Adam Rosenstein).
94 root 1.209 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
95 root 1.208 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
96 root 1.209 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
97 root 1.206
98 root 1.205 4.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
99 root 1.204 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
100     unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
101     the socket type.
102     - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
103    
104 root 1.203 4.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
105 root 1.200 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
106 root 1.203 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
107 root 1.200 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
108     instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
109 root 1.201 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
110 root 1.202 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
111 root 1.198
112 root 1.197 4.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
113 root 1.196 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
114     unless one has been installed already.
115 root 1.197 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
116     (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
117 root 1.193 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
118     - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
119 root 1.191 client would first wait for some data by the server and
120 root 1.197 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
121 root 1.191 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
122 root 1.193 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
123 root 1.191 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
124 root 1.197 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
125 root 1.191 Rosenstein).
126 root 1.193 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
127 root 1.191 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
128     Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
129 root 1.192 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
130     - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
131     instead of simply destroying the stream now.
132 root 1.195 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
133     would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
134 root 1.193 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
135     - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
136     now, more to come, though.
137 root 1.194 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
138 root 1.191
139 root 1.190 4.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
140 root 1.189 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
141     no trace events.
142 root 1.190 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
143     - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
144 root 1.188 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
145 root 1.187 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
146 root 1.190 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
147 root 1.187 Time::HiRes).
148    
149 root 1.186 4.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
150     - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
151     - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
152    
153 root 1.185 4.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
154     - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
155     callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
156     (testcase by Leon Brocard).
157     - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
158    
159 root 1.184 4.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
160     - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
161     (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
162     perls without resource leaks or worse).
163    
164 root 1.183 4.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
165 root 1.177 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
166     the callback.
167 root 1.178 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
168 root 1.180 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
169 root 1.179 eol marker.
170 root 1.180 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
171 root 1.182 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
172 root 1.180 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
173 root 1.177
174 root 1.176 4.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
175 root 1.174 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
176 root 1.175 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
177     working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
178     some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
179     people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
180 root 1.174
181 root 1.173 4.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
182 root 1.171 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
183     which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
184 root 1.172 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
185     why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
186     unusable way.
187     - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
188     AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
189     K. Sharifulin).
190 root 1.170
191 root 1.169 4.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
192 root 1.165 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
193 root 1.164 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
194     be delayed under some circumstances.
195 root 1.167 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
196 root 1.169 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
197     and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
198     - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
199 root 1.168 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
200 root 1.164 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
201    
202 root 1.163 4.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
203 elmex 1.162 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
204 root 1.163 assumption that all data could be written before read
205     (reported by Jim Razmus).
206 elmex 1.162
207 root 1.161 4.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
208 root 1.160 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
209     not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
210     implementation (also affected child watchers).
211 root 1.159 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
212    
213 root 1.158 4.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
214 root 1.159 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
215     on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
216 root 1.158 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
217    
218 root 1.157 4.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
219     - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
220     works.
221    
222 root 1.155 4.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
223 root 1.154 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
224     one watcher was registered for the same fd.
225 root 1.155 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
226     for AnyEvent::Handle.
227 root 1.156 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
228 root 1.153 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
229    
230 root 1.152 4.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
231 elmex 1.149 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
232 root 1.150 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
233     executing the guard block as warnings.
234 root 1.152 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
235 elmex 1.149
236 root 1.148 4.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
237 root 1.146 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
238     contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
239     microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
240 root 1.147 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
241     but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
242     case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
243     and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
244 root 1.145 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
245     when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
246     and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
247     enter an endless loop.
248     - correctly start reading again when the handle became
249     busy again after idling.
250 root 1.146 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
251     (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
252 root 1.145 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
253     (hopefully).
254 root 1.146 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
255     away any time.
256 root 1.145
257 root 1.144 4.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
258     - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
259     anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
260 root 1.143 - allow more options in on_error.
261 root 1.142
262 root 1.141 4.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
263 root 1.135 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
264     reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
265     v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
266 root 1.129 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
267 root 1.130 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
268     also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
269 root 1.134 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
270 root 1.133 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
271     rfc 2782.
272 root 1.137 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
273     - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
274 root 1.138 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
275     being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
276     could die. this has been fixed.
277     - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
278     - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
279 root 1.139 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
280     for resolver class.
281 root 1.140 - update version numbers in all modules.
282 root 1.129
283 root 1.128 4.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
284 root 1.123 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
285     which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
286     for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
287     AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
288 root 1.127 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
289 root 1.124 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
290 root 1.123 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
291     - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
292     a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
293 root 1.126 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
294 root 1.122 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
295     - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
296 root 1.118 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
297     - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
298 root 1.120 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
299 root 1.127 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
300 root 1.121 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
301     select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
302     workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
303     but EV also works around this).
304 root 1.123 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
305 root 1.122 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
306     vs. callback arguments.
307 root 1.127 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
308 root 1.117
309 root 1.116 4.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
310     - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
311     the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
312     didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
313 root 1.114 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
314    
315 root 1.113 4.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
316 root 1.109 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
317 root 1.110 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
318     EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
319 root 1.111 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
320 root 1.106 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
321 root 1.112 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
322 root 1.104 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
323 root 1.114 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
324 root 1.107 sake of perl 5.8.
325 root 1.106 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
326     (still a hack...)
327     - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
328 root 1.108 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
329     die handlers.
330 root 1.104
331 root 1.102 4.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
332 root 1.100 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
333     error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
334 root 1.96 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
335 root 1.97 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
336 root 1.101 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
337 root 1.100 - updated documentation.
338 root 1.103 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
339 root 1.98 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
340     in AnyEvent::Handle.

347 root 1.88 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
348     - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
349 root 1.93 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
350 root 1.90 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
351     - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
352 root 1.94 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
353 root 1.93 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
354 root 1.89 verbatim ip addresses.
355 root 1.88 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
356 root 1.87 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
357 root 1.86 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
358 root 1.83 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
359 root 1.84 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
360 root 1.121 become writable until empty.
361 root 1.81 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
362     returns ENOTCONN.
363 root 1.181 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
364 root 1.82 override.
365 root 1.91 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
366 root 1.81
367 root 1.80 3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
368 root 1.79 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
369     (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
370 root 1.77 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
371     helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
372     - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
373     - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
374     - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
375 elmex 1.74 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
376     first and second argument.
377 root 1.77 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
378 root 1.72 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
379 root 1.78 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
380     cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
381     and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
382 root 1.72
383 root 1.71 3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
384     - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
385    
386 root 1.70 3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
387 root 1.181 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
388 root 1.70 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
389 root 1.69 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
390     (still subject to change).
391 root 1.63 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
392 root 1.68 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
393 root 1.67 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
394     (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
395 root 1.66 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
396     via Coro::AnyEvent.
397 root 1.63
398 root 1.62 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
399     - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
400 root 1.55 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
401     when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
402 root 1.54 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
403     the different event loops with each other.
404 root 1.56 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
405     but doesn't crash with many watchers.
406 root 1.62 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
407 root 1.56 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
408     kept alive.
409     - document the race between loading of an event module and
410     child processes exiting.
411 root 1.53 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
412 root 1.54 enough, and darn slow).
413 root 1.53 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
414 root 1.60 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
415 root 1.62 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
416 root 1.60 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
417     faster than Event and Glib :).
418 root 1.59 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
419 root 1.62 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
420     to other event loops where possible.
421 root 1.53
422 root 1.50 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
423 root 1.51 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
424     in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
425     for the same fh/poll combo).
426     - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
427 root 1.47 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
428 root 1.49 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
429     - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
430 root 1.52 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
431 root 1.47
432 root 1.46 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
433     - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
434     - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
435     strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
436     - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
437     better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
438     - do not send the signal to the process group
439     (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
440    
441 root 1.45 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
442     - major documentation rework.
443     - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
444     - fix the child watcher example.
445    
446 root 1.43 3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
447 root 1.40 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
448 root 1.43 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
449     don't get fixed anytime soon).
450 root 1.42 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
451     (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
452     such strong limits).
453 root 1.41 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
454     - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
455     unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
456     any restrictions...).
457     - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
458 root 1.40
459 root 1.39 3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
460 root 1.38 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
461     up the Coro implementation in general.
462     - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
463     - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
464 root 1.44 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
465 root 1.38
466 root 1.37 2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
467     - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
468    
469 root 1.36 2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
470     - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
471     instead of reporting it to any watchers.
472    
473 root 1.35 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
474 root 1.34 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
475     too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
476 root 1.35 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
477     or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
478     watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
479     (except when Event or EV are installed).
480 root 1.34
481 root 1.33 2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
482 root 1.32 - fix bug in testsuite.

484     - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
485 root 1.26
486 root 1.31 2.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
487 root 1.27 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
488 root 1.30 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.

490 root 1.27
491 root 1.25 2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
492     - work around a perl bug that results in
493     BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
494     any discernible reason or error message by once
495     again not use'ing strict.
496    
497 root 1.24 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
498     - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
499    
500 root 1.22 2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
501     - child watchers stopped working permanently when
502 root 1.23 all current child watchers were destroyed.
503 root 1.22
504 root 1.21 2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
505     - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
506     true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
507    
508 root 1.20 2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
509 root 1.19 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
510 root 1.20 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
511     - implement signal watchers (experimental)
512     (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
513     so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
514     - implement child watchers (experimental).
515     - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
516     most implementation modules.
517 root 1.14
518 root 1.18 2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
519 root 1.16 - better docs.

522 root 1.16
523 root 1.15 2.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
524 root 1.13 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
525     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
526     - EXPERIMENTAL:
527     new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
528     event model.
529 root 1.12 - improved documentation.

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

552 root 1.6
553 root 1.5 0.3 Sun Dec 4 10:43:33 CET 2005

560 root 1.44 - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
561 root 1.4 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
562     - don't die when some modules are not available.
