1 root 1.1 Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2    
3 root 1.250 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
4 root 1.251 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
5     - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
6     AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
7     to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
8 root 1.250
9 root 1.249 4.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
10 root 1.248 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
11 root 1.247 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
12     case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
13     even when the calling env acts stupidly.
14 root 1.248 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
15 root 1.247
16 root 1.245 4.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
17 root 1.242 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
18     and set it on the default resolver.
19 root 1.241 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
20 root 1.242 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
21     when running in tainted mode.
22 root 1.244 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
23 root 1.241
24 root 1.240 4.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
25 root 1.239 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
26    
27 root 1.238 4.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
28 root 1.236 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
29     a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
30 root 1.237 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
31     destructors.
32     - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
33     synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
34     implementation.
35 root 1.238 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
36     for cosmetic reasons.
37 root 1.235
38 root 1.234 4.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
39     - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
40 root 1.232 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
41     - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
42     - sped up Tk timer handling.
43 root 1.233 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
44     to avoid spamming out warning messages.
45 root 1.232 - fix Qt timers without interval.
46 root 1.242 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
47 root 1.232
48 root 1.231 4.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
49 root 1.229 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
50 root 1.230 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
51     - add AnyEvent->now_update.
52 root 1.229
53 root 1.228 4.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
54 root 1.225 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
55 root 1.227 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
56     perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
57 root 1.226 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
58 root 1.225
59 root 1.224 4.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
60 root 1.220 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
61     invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
62     and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
63     event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
64     callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
65 root 1.224 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
66 root 1.223 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
67 root 1.220 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
68 root 1.221 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
69     is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
70 root 1.224 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
71 root 1.220
72 root 1.219 4.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
73 root 1.218 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
74     deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
75     read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
76 root 1.214 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
77 root 1.215 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
78     - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
79     backend.
80 root 1.216 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
81 root 1.214
82 root 1.213 4.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
83 root 1.212 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
84     completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
85     so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
86     (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
87     - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
88 root 1.211 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
89    
90 root 1.210 4.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
91     - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
92     illegal.
93 root 1.206 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
94     by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
95 root 1.207 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
96     by Adam Rosenstein).
97 root 1.209 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
98 root 1.208 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
99 root 1.209 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
100 root 1.206
101 root 1.205 4.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
102 root 1.204 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
103     unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
104     the socket type.
105     - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
106    
107 root 1.203 4.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
108 root 1.200 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
109 root 1.203 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
110 root 1.200 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
111     instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
112 root 1.201 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
113 root 1.202 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
114 root 1.198
115 root 1.197 4.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
116 root 1.196 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
117     unless one has been installed already.
118 root 1.197 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
119     (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
120 root 1.193 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
121     - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
122 root 1.191 client would first wait for some data by the server and
123 root 1.197 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
124 root 1.191 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
125 root 1.193 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
126 root 1.191 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
127 root 1.197 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
128 root 1.191 Rosenstein).
129 root 1.193 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
130 root 1.191 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
131     Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
132 root 1.192 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
133     - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
134     instead of simply destroying the stream now.
135 root 1.195 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
136     would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
137 root 1.193 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
138     - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
139     now, more to come, though.
140 root 1.194 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
141 root 1.191
142 root 1.190 4.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
143 root 1.189 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
144     no trace events.
145 root 1.190 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
146     - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
147 root 1.188 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
148 root 1.187 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
149 root 1.190 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
150 root 1.187 Time::HiRes).
151    
152 root 1.186 4.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
153     - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
154     - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
155    
156 root 1.185 4.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
157     - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
158     callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
159     (testcase by Leon Brocard).
160     - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
161    
162 root 1.184 4.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
163     - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
164     (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
165     perls without resource leaks or worse).
166    
167 root 1.183 4.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
168 root 1.177 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
169     the callback.
170 root 1.178 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
171 root 1.180 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
172 root 1.179 eol marker.
173 root 1.180 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
174 root 1.182 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
175 root 1.180 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
176 root 1.177
177 root 1.176 4.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
178 root 1.174 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
179 root 1.175 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
180     working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
181     some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
182     people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
183 root 1.174
184 root 1.173 4.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
185 root 1.171 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
186     which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
187 root 1.172 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
188     why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
189     unusable way.
190     - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
191     AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
192     K. Sharifulin).
193 root 1.170
194 root 1.169 4.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
195 root 1.165 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
196 root 1.164 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
197     be delayed under some circumstances.
198 root 1.167 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
199 root 1.169 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
200     and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
201     - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
202 root 1.168 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
203 root 1.164 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
204    
205 root 1.163 4.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
206 elmex 1.162 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
207 root 1.163 assumption that all data could be written before read
208     (reported by Jim Razmus).
209 elmex 1.162
210 root 1.161 4.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
211 root 1.160 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
212     not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
213     implementation (also affected child watchers).
214 root 1.159 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
215    
216 root 1.158 4.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
217 root 1.159 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
218     on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
219 root 1.158 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
220    
221 root 1.157 4.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
222     - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
223     works.
224    
225 root 1.155 4.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
226 root 1.154 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
227     one watcher was registered for the same fd.
228 root 1.155 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
229     for AnyEvent::Handle.
230 root 1.156 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
231 root 1.153 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
232    
233 root 1.152 4.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
234 elmex 1.149 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
235 root 1.150 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
236     executing the guard block as warnings.
237 root 1.152 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
238 elmex 1.149
239 root 1.148 4.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
240 root 1.146 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
241     contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
242     microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
243 root 1.147 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
244     but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
245     case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
246     and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
247 root 1.145 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
248     when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
249     and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
250     enter an endless loop.
251     - correctly start reading again when the handle became
252     busy again after idling.
253 root 1.146 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
254     (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
255 root 1.145 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
256     (hopefully).
257 root 1.146 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
258     away any time.
259 root 1.145
260 root 1.144 4.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
261     - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
262     anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
263 root 1.143 - allow more options in on_error.
264 root 1.142
265 root 1.141 4.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
266 root 1.135 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
267     reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
268     v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
269 root 1.129 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
270 root 1.130 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
271     also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
272 root 1.134 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
273 root 1.133 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
274     rfc 2782.
275 root 1.137 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
276     - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
277 root 1.138 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
278     being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
279     could die. this has been fixed.
280     - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
281     - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
282 root 1.139 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
283     for resolver class.
284 root 1.140 - update version numbers in all modules.
285 root 1.129
286 root 1.128 4.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
287 root 1.123 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
288     which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
289     for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
290     AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
291 root 1.127 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
292 root 1.124 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
293 root 1.123 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
294     - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
295     a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
296 root 1.126 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
297 root 1.122 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
298     - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
299 root 1.118 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
300     - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
301 root 1.120 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
302 root 1.127 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
303 root 1.121 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
304     select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
305     workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
306     but EV also works around this).
307 root 1.123 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
308 root 1.122 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
309     vs. callback arguments.
310 root 1.127 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
311 root 1.117
312 root 1.116 4.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
313     - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
314     the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
315     didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
316 root 1.114 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
317    
318 root 1.113 4.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
319 root 1.109 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
320 root 1.110 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
321     EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
322 root 1.111 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
323 root 1.106 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
324 root 1.112 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
325 root 1.104 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
326 root 1.114 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
327 root 1.107 sake of perl 5.8.
328 root 1.106 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
329     (still a hack...)
330     - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
331 root 1.108 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
332     die handlers.
333 root 1.104
334 root 1.102 4.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
335 root 1.100 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
336     error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
337 root 1.96 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
338 root 1.97 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
339 root 1.101 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
340 root 1.100 - updated documentation.
341 root 1.103 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
342 root 1.98 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
343     in AnyEvent::Handle.
344 root 1.101 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
345     - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.

348 root 1.96
349 root 1.95 4.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
350 root 1.88 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
351     - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
352 root 1.93 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
353 root 1.90 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
354     - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
355 root 1.94 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
356 root 1.93 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
357 root 1.89 verbatim ip addresses.
358 root 1.88 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
359 root 1.87 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
360 root 1.86 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
361 root 1.83 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
362 root 1.84 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
363 root 1.121 become writable until empty.
364 root 1.81 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
365     returns ENOTCONN.
366 root 1.181 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
367 root 1.82 override.
368 root 1.91 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
369 root 1.81
370 root 1.80 3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
371 root 1.79 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
372     (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
373 root 1.77 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
374     helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
375     - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
376     - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
377     - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
378 elmex 1.74 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
379     first and second argument.
380 root 1.77 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
381 root 1.72 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
382 root 1.78 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
383     cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
384     and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
385 root 1.72
386 root 1.71 3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
387     - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
388    
389 root 1.70 3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
390 root 1.181 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
391 root 1.70 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
392 root 1.69 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
393     (still subject to change).
394 root 1.63 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
395 root 1.68 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
396 root 1.67 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
397     (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
398 root 1.66 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
399     via Coro::AnyEvent.
400 root 1.63
401 root 1.62 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
402     - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
403 root 1.55 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
404     when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
405 root 1.54 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
406     the different event loops with each other.
407 root 1.56 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
408     but doesn't crash with many watchers.
409 root 1.62 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
410 root 1.56 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
411     kept alive.
412     - document the race between loading of an event module and
413     child processes exiting.
414 root 1.53 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
415 root 1.54 enough, and darn slow).
416 root 1.53 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
417 root 1.60 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
418 root 1.62 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
419 root 1.60 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
420     faster than Event and Glib :).
421 root 1.59 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
422 root 1.62 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
423     to other event loops where possible.
424 root 1.53
425 root 1.50 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
426 root 1.51 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
427     in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
428     for the same fh/poll combo).
429     - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
430 root 1.47 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
431 root 1.49 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
432     - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
433 root 1.52 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
434 root 1.47
435 root 1.46 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
436     - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
437     - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
438     strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
439     - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
440     better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
441     - do not send the signal to the process group
442     (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
443    
444 root 1.45 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
445     - major documentation rework.
446     - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
447     - fix the child watcher example.
448    
449 root 1.43 3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
450 root 1.40 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
451 root 1.43 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
452     don't get fixed anytime soon).
453 root 1.42 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
454     (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
455     such strong limits).
456 root 1.41 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
457     - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
458     unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
459     any restrictions...).
460     - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
461 root 1.40
462 root 1.39 3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
463 root 1.38 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
464     up the Coro implementation in general.
465     - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
466     - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
467 root 1.44 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
468 root 1.38
469 root 1.37 2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
470     - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
471    
472 root 1.36 2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
473     - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
474     instead of reporting it to any watchers.
475    
476 root 1.35 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
477 root 1.34 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
478     too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
479 root 1.35 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
480     or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
481     watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
482     (except when Event or EV are installed).
483 root 1.34
484 root 1.33 2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
485 root 1.32 - fix bug in testsuite.

487     - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
488 root 1.26
489 root 1.31 2.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
490 root 1.27 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
491 root 1.30 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
492 root 1.29 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
493 root 1.27
494 root 1.25 2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
495     - work around a perl bug that results in
496     BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
497     any discernible reason or error message by once
498     again not use'ing strict.
499    
500 root 1.24 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
501     - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
502    
503 root 1.22 2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
504     - child watchers stopped working permanently when
505 root 1.23 all current child watchers were destroyed.
506 root 1.22
507 root 1.21 2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
508     - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
509     true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
510    
511 root 1.20 2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
512 root 1.19 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
513 root 1.20 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
514     - implement signal watchers (experimental)
515     (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
516     so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
517     - implement child watchers (experimental).
518     - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
519     most implementation modules.
520 root 1.14
521 root 1.18 2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
522 root 1.16 - better docs.

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

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

563 root 1.44 - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
564 root 1.4 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
