1 root 1.1 Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2    
3 root 1.255 4.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
4     - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
5     an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
6 root 1.251 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
7     AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
8     to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
9 root 1.254 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
10 root 1.252 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
11     - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.

15 root 1.248 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
16 root 1.247 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
17     case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
18     even when the calling env acts stupidly.
19 root 1.248 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
20 root 1.247
21 root 1.245 4.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
22 root 1.242 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
23     and set it on the default resolver.
24 root 1.241 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
25 root 1.242 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
26     when running in tainted mode.
27 root 1.244 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
28 root 1.241
29 root 1.240 4.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
30 root 1.239 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
31    
32 root 1.238 4.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
33 root 1.236 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
34     a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
35 root 1.237 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
36     destructors.
37     - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
38     synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
39     implementation.
40 root 1.238 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
41     for cosmetic reasons.
42 root 1.235
43 root 1.234 4.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009

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

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

353 root 1.96
354 root 1.95 4.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
355 root 1.88 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
356     - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
357 root 1.93 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
358 root 1.90 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
359     - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
360 root 1.94 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
361 root 1.93 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
362 root 1.89 verbatim ip addresses.
363 root 1.88 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
364 root 1.87 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
365 root 1.86 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
366 root 1.83 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
367 root 1.84 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
368 root 1.121 become writable until empty.
369 root 1.81 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
370     returns ENOTCONN.
371 root 1.181 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
372 root 1.82 override.
373 root 1.91 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
374 root 1.81
375 root 1.80 3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
376 root 1.79 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
377     (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
378 root 1.77 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
379     helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
380     - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
381     - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
382     - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
383 elmex 1.74 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
384     first and second argument.
385 root 1.77 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
386 root 1.72 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
387 root 1.78 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
388     cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
389     and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
390 root 1.72
391 root 1.71 3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
392     - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
393    
394 root 1.70 3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
395 root 1.181 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
396 root 1.70 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
397 root 1.69 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
398     (still subject to change).
399 root 1.63 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
400 root 1.68 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
401 root 1.67 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
402     (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
403 root 1.66 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
404     via Coro::AnyEvent.
405 root 1.63
406 root 1.62 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
407     - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
408 root 1.55 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
409     when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
410 root 1.54 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
411     the different event loops with each other.
412 root 1.56 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
413     but doesn't crash with many watchers.
414 root 1.62 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
415 root 1.56 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
416     kept alive.
417     - document the race between loading of an event module and
418     child processes exiting.
419 root 1.53 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
420 root 1.54 enough, and darn slow).
421 root 1.53 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
422 root 1.60 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
423 root 1.62 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
424 root 1.60 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
425     faster than Event and Glib :).
426 root 1.59 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
427 root 1.62 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
428     to other event loops where possible.
429 root 1.53
430 root 1.50 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
431 root 1.51 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
432     in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
433     for the same fh/poll combo).
434     - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
435 root 1.47 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
436 root 1.49 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
437     - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
438 root 1.52 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
439 root 1.47
440 root 1.46 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
441     - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
442     - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
443     strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
444     - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
445     better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
446     - do not send the signal to the process group
447     (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
448    
449 root 1.45 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
450     - major documentation rework.
451     - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
452     - fix the child watcher example.
453    
454 root 1.43 3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
455 root 1.40 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
456 root 1.43 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
457     don't get fixed anytime soon).
458 root 1.42 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
459     (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
460     such strong limits).
461 root 1.41 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
462     - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
463     unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
464     any restrictions...).
465     - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
466 root 1.40
467 root 1.39 3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
468 root 1.38 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
469     up the Coro implementation in general.
470     - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
471     - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
472 root 1.44 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
473 root 1.38
474 root 1.37 2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
475     - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
476    
477 root 1.36 2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
478     - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
479     instead of reporting it to any watchers.
480    
481 root 1.35 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
482 root 1.34 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
483     too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
484 root 1.35 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
485     or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
486     watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
487     (except when Event or EV are installed).
488 root 1.34
489 root 1.33 2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
490 root 1.32 - fix bug in testsuite.
491     - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
492     - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
493 root 1.26
494 root 1.31 2.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
495 root 1.27 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
496 root 1.30 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
497 root 1.29 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
498 root 1.27
499 root 1.25 2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
500     - work around a perl bug that results in
501     BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
502     any discernible reason or error message by once
503     again not use'ing strict.
504    
505 root 1.24 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
506     - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
507    
508 root 1.22 2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
509     - child watchers stopped working permanently when
510 root 1.23 all current child watchers were destroyed.
511 root 1.22
512 root 1.21 2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
513     - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
514     true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
515    
516 root 1.20 2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
517 root 1.19 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
518 root 1.20 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
519     - implement signal watchers (experimental)
520     (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
521     so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
522     - implement child watchers (experimental).
523     - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
524     most implementation modules.
525 root 1.14
526 root 1.18 2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
527 root 1.16 - better docs.

530 root 1.16
531 root 1.15 2.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
532 root 1.13 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
533     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
534     - EXPERIMENTAL:
535     new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
536     event model.
537 root 1.12 - improved documentation.
538     - reduced cpu overhead.
539    
540 root 1.11 1.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006

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