1 root 1.1 Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2    
3 root 1.251 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
4     AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
5     to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
6 root 1.253 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
7     an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
8 root 1.252 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
9     - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
10     - expand condvar ebgin/end documentation.
11 root 1.250
12 root 1.249 4.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
13 root 1.248 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
14 root 1.247 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
15     case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
16     even when the calling env acts stupidly.
17 root 1.248 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
18 root 1.247
19 root 1.245 4.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
20 root 1.242 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
21     and set it on the default resolver.
22 root 1.241 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
23 root 1.242 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
24     when running in tainted mode.
25 root 1.244 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
26 root 1.241
27 root 1.240 4.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
28 root 1.239 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
29    
30 root 1.238 4.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
31 root 1.236 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
32     a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
33 root 1.237 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
34     destructors.
35     - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
36     synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
37     implementation.
38 root 1.238 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
39     for cosmetic reasons.
40 root 1.235
41 root 1.234 4.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
42     - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.

44     - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
45     - sped up Tk timer handling.
46 root 1.233 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
47     to avoid spamming out warning messages.
48 root 1.232 - fix Qt timers without interval.
49 root 1.242 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
50 root 1.232
51 root 1.231 4.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
52 root 1.229 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
53 root 1.230 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.

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

351 root 1.96
352 root 1.95 4.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
353 root 1.88 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
354     - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
355 root 1.93 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
356 root 1.90 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
357     - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
358 root 1.94 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
359 root 1.93 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
360 root 1.89 verbatim ip addresses.
361 root 1.88 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
362 root 1.87 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
363 root 1.86 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
364 root 1.83 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
365 root 1.84 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
366 root 1.121 become writable until empty.
367 root 1.81 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
368     returns ENOTCONN.
369 root 1.181 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
370 root 1.82 override.

372 root 1.81
373 root 1.80 3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
374 root 1.79 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
375     (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
376 root 1.77 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
377     helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
378     - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
379     - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
380     - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
381 elmex 1.74 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
382     first and second argument.
383 root 1.77 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
384 root 1.72 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
385 root 1.78 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
386     cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)

392 root 1.70 3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
393 root 1.181 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
394 root 1.70 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
395 root 1.69 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
396     (still subject to change).
397 root 1.63 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
398 root 1.68 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
399 root 1.67 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
400     (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
401 root 1.66 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
402     via Coro::AnyEvent.
403 root 1.63
404 root 1.62 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
405     - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
406 root 1.55 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
407     when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
408 root 1.54 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
409     the different event loops with each other.
410 root 1.56 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
411     but doesn't crash with many watchers.
412 root 1.62 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
413 root 1.56 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
414     kept alive.
415     - document the race between loading of an event module and
416     child processes exiting.
417 root 1.53 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
418 root 1.54 enough, and darn slow).
419 root 1.53 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
420 root 1.60 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
421 root 1.62 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
422 root 1.60 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
423     faster than Event and Glib :).
424 root 1.59 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
425 root 1.62 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
426     to other event loops where possible.
427 root 1.53
428 root 1.50 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
429 root 1.51 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
430     in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
431     for the same fh/poll combo).
432     - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
433 root 1.47 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
434 root 1.49 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
435     - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
436 root 1.52 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
437 root 1.47
438 root 1.46 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
439     - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
440     - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
441     strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
442     - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
443     better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
444     - do not send the signal to the process group
445     (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
446    
447 root 1.45 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008

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

474    
475 root 1.36 2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
476     - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
477     instead of reporting it to any watchers.
478    
479 root 1.35 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
480 root 1.34 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
481     too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
482 root 1.35 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
483     or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
484     watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
485     (except when Event or EV are installed).
486 root 1.34
487 root 1.33 2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
488 root 1.32 - fix bug in testsuite.

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

496 root 1.27
497 root 1.25 2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007

500     any discernible reason or error message by once
501     again not use'ing strict.
502    
503 root 1.24 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007

505    
506 root 1.22 2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007

509 root 1.22
510 root 1.21 2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
511     - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
512     true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
513    
514 root 1.20 2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
515 root 1.19 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
516 root 1.20 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
517     - implement signal watchers (experimental)
518     (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
519     so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
520     - implement child watchers (experimental).
521     - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
522     most implementation modules.
523 root 1.14
524 root 1.18 2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006

530 root 1.13 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
531     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
532     - EXPERIMENTAL:
533     new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
534     event model.
535 root 1.12 - improved documentation.

549 root 1.6 - fixed errors in the documentation.
550 root 1.7 - going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
551     as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
552     this method.
553     - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
554     and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
555     glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
556     (older) versions of glib.

558 root 1.6
