# User Rev Content
1 root 1.1 Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2    
3 root 1.256 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
4     so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
5     in the common case.
6    
7 root 1.255 4.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
8     - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
9     an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
10 root 1.251 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
11     AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
12     to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
13 root 1.254 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
14 root 1.252 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
15     - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
16 root 1.255 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
17 root 1.250

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

356 root 1.100 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
357 root 1.96
358 root 1.95 4.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
359 root 1.88 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
360     - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
361 root 1.93 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
362 root 1.90 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
363     - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
364 root 1.94 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
365 root 1.93 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
366 root 1.89 verbatim ip addresses.
367 root 1.88 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
368 root 1.87 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
369 root 1.86 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
370 root 1.83 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
371 root 1.84 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
372 root 1.121 become writable until empty.
373 root 1.81 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
374     returns ENOTCONN.
375 root 1.181 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
376 root 1.82 override.
377 root 1.91 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
378 root 1.81
379 root 1.80 3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
380 root 1.79 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
381     (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
382 root 1.77 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
383     helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
384     - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
385     - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
386     - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
387 elmex 1.74 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
388     first and second argument.
389 root 1.77 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
390 root 1.72 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
391 root 1.78 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
392     cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
393     and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
394 root 1.72
395 root 1.71 3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
396     - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
397    
398 root 1.70 3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
399 root 1.181 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
400 root 1.70 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
401 root 1.69 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
402     (still subject to change).
403 root 1.63 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
404 root 1.68 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
405 root 1.67 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
406     (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
407 root 1.66 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
408     via Coro::AnyEvent.
409 root 1.63
410 root 1.62 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
411     - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
412 root 1.55 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
413     when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
414 root 1.54 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
415     the different event loops with each other.
416 root 1.56 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
417     but doesn't crash with many watchers.
418 root 1.62 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
419 root 1.56 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
420     kept alive.
421     - document the race between loading of an event module and
422     child processes exiting.
423 root 1.53 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
424 root 1.54 enough, and darn slow).
425 root 1.53 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
426 root 1.60 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
427 root 1.62 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
428 root 1.60 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
429     faster than Event and Glib :).
430 root 1.59 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
431 root 1.62 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
432     to other event loops where possible.
433 root 1.53
434 root 1.50 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
435 root 1.51 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
436     in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
437     for the same fh/poll combo).
438     - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
439 root 1.47 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
440 root 1.49 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
441     - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
442 root 1.52 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
443 root 1.47
444 root 1.46 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
445     - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
446     - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
447     strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
448     - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
449     better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
450     - do not send the signal to the process group
451     (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
452    
453 root 1.45 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
454     - major documentation rework.
455     - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
456     - fix the child watcher example.
457    
458 root 1.43 3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
459 root 1.40 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
460 root 1.43 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
461     don't get fixed anytime soon).
462 root 1.42 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
463     (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
464     such strong limits).
465 root 1.41 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
466     - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
467     unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
468     any restrictions...).
469     - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
470 root 1.40
471 root 1.39 3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
472 root 1.38 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
473     up the Coro implementation in general.
474     - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
475     - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
476 root 1.44 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
477 root 1.38
478 root 1.37 2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
479     - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
480    
481 root 1.36 2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
482     - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
483     instead of reporting it to any watchers.
484    
485 root 1.35 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
486 root 1.34 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
487     too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
488 root 1.35 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
489     or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
490     watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
491     (except when Event or EV are installed).
492 root 1.34
493 root 1.33 2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
494 root 1.32 - fix bug in testsuite.
495     - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
496     - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
497 root 1.26
498 root 1.31 2.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
499 root 1.27 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
500 root 1.30 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
501 root 1.29 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
502 root 1.27
503 root 1.25 2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
504     - work around a perl bug that results in
505     BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
506     any discernible reason or error message by once
507     again not use'ing strict.
508    
509 root 1.24 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
510     - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
511    
512 root 1.22 2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
513     - child watchers stopped working permanently when
514 root 1.23 all current child watchers were destroyed.
515 root 1.22
516 root 1.21 2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
517     - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
518     true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
519    
520 root 1.20 2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
521 root 1.19 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
522 root 1.20 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
523     - implement signal watchers (experimental)
524     (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
525     so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
526     - implement child watchers (experimental).
527     - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
528     most implementation modules.
529 root 1.14
530 root 1.18 2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
531 root 1.16 - better docs.

534 root 1.16
535 root 1.15 2.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
536 root 1.13 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
537     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
538     - EXPERIMENTAL:
539     new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
540     event model.
541 root 1.12 - improved documentation.
542     - reduced cpu overhead.
543    
544 root 1.11 1.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006

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

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