# 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 root 1.257 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
7     failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
8     from the constructor.
9 root 1.256
10 root 1.255 4.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
11     - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
12     an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
13 root 1.251 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
14     AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
15     to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
16 root 1.254 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
17 root 1.252 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
18     - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
19 root 1.255 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
20 root 1.250

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

53     - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
54     - sped up Tk timer handling.
55 root 1.233 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
56     to avoid spamming out warning messages.
57 root 1.232 - fix Qt timers without interval.
58 root 1.242 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
59 root 1.232
60 root 1.231 4.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
61 root 1.229 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
62 root 1.230 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
63     - add AnyEvent->now_update.
64 root 1.229
65 root 1.228 4.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
66 root 1.225 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
67 root 1.227 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
68     perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
69 root 1.226 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
70 root 1.225
71 root 1.224 4.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
72 root 1.220 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
73     invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
74     and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
75     event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
76     callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
77 root 1.224 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
78 root 1.223 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
79 root 1.220 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
80 root 1.221 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
81     is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
82 root 1.224 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
83 root 1.220
84 root 1.219 4.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
85 root 1.218 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
86     deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
87     read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
88 root 1.214 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
89 root 1.215 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
90     - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
91     backend.
92 root 1.216 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
93 root 1.214
94 root 1.213 4.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
95 root 1.212 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
96     completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
97     so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
98     (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
99     - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
100 root 1.211 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
101    
102 root 1.210 4.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
103     - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
104     illegal.
105 root 1.206 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
106     by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
107 root 1.207 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
108     by Adam Rosenstein).
109 root 1.209 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
110 root 1.208 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
111 root 1.209 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
112 root 1.206
113 root 1.205 4.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
114 root 1.204 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
115     unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
116     the socket type.
117     - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
118    
119 root 1.203 4.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
120 root 1.200 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
121 root 1.203 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
122 root 1.200 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
123     instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
124 root 1.201 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
125 root 1.202 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
126 root 1.198
127 root 1.197 4.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
128 root 1.196 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
129     unless one has been installed already.
130 root 1.197 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
131     (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
132 root 1.193 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
133     - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
134 root 1.191 client would first wait for some data by the server and
135 root 1.197 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
136 root 1.191 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
137 root 1.193 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
138 root 1.191 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
139 root 1.197 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
140 root 1.191 Rosenstein).
141 root 1.193 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
142 root 1.191 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
143     Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
144 root 1.192 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
145     - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
146     instead of simply destroying the stream now.
147 root 1.195 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
148     would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
149 root 1.193 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
150     - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
151     now, more to come, though.
152 root 1.194 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
153 root 1.191
154 root 1.190 4.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
155 root 1.189 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
156     no trace events.
157 root 1.190 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
158     - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
159 root 1.188 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
160 root 1.187 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
161 root 1.190 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
162 root 1.187 Time::HiRes).
163    
164 root 1.186 4.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
165     - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
166     - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
167    
168 root 1.185 4.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
169     - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
170     callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
171     (testcase by Leon Brocard).
172     - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
173    
174 root 1.184 4.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
175     - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
176     (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
177     perls without resource leaks or worse).
178    
179 root 1.183 4.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
180 root 1.177 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
181     the callback.
182 root 1.178 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
183 root 1.180 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
184 root 1.179 eol marker.
185 root 1.180 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
186 root 1.182 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
187 root 1.180 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
188 root 1.177
189 root 1.176 4.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
190 root 1.174 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
191 root 1.175 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
192     working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
193     some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
194     people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
195 root 1.174
196 root 1.173 4.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
197 root 1.171 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
198     which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
199 root 1.172 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
200     why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
201     unusable way.
202     - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
203     AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
204     K. Sharifulin).
205 root 1.170
206 root 1.169 4.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
207 root 1.165 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
208 root 1.164 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
209     be delayed under some circumstances.
210 root 1.167 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
211 root 1.169 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
212     and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
213     - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
214 root 1.168 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
215 root 1.164 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
216    
217 root 1.163 4.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
218 elmex 1.162 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
219 root 1.163 assumption that all data could be written before read
220     (reported by Jim Razmus).
221 elmex 1.162
222 root 1.161 4.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
223 root 1.160 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
224     not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
225     implementation (also affected child watchers).
226 root 1.159 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
227    
228 root 1.158 4.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
229 root 1.159 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
230     on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
231 root 1.158 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
232    
233 root 1.157 4.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
234     - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
235     works.
236    
237 root 1.155 4.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
238 root 1.154 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
239     one watcher was registered for the same fd.
240 root 1.155 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
241     for AnyEvent::Handle.
242 root 1.156 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
243 root 1.153 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
244    
245 root 1.152 4.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
246 elmex 1.149 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
247 root 1.150 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
248     executing the guard block as warnings.
249 root 1.152 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
250 elmex 1.149
251 root 1.148 4.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
252 root 1.146 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
253     contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
254     microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
255 root 1.147 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
256     but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
257     case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
258     and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
259 root 1.145 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
260     when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
261     and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
262     enter an endless loop.
263     - correctly start reading again when the handle became
264     busy again after idling.
265 root 1.146 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
266     (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
267 root 1.145 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
268     (hopefully).
269 root 1.146 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
270     away any time.
271 root 1.145
272 root 1.144 4.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
273     - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
274     anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
275 root 1.143 - allow more options in on_error.
276 root 1.142
277 root 1.141 4.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
278 root 1.135 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
279     reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
280     v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
281 root 1.129 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
282 root 1.130 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
283     also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
284 root 1.134 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
285 root 1.133 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
286     rfc 2782.
287 root 1.137 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
288     - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
289 root 1.138 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
290     being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
291     could die. this has been fixed.
292     - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
293     - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
294 root 1.139 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
295     for resolver class.
296 root 1.140 - update version numbers in all modules.
297 root 1.129
298 root 1.128 4.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
299 root 1.123 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
300     which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
301     for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
302     AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
303 root 1.127 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
304 root 1.124 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
305 root 1.123 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
306     - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
307     a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
308 root 1.126 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
309 root 1.122 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
310     - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
311 root 1.118 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
312     - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
313 root 1.120 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
314 root 1.127 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
315 root 1.121 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
316     select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
317     workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
318     but EV also works around this).
319 root 1.123 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
320 root 1.122 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
321     vs. callback arguments.
322 root 1.127 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
323 root 1.117
324 root 1.116 4.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
325     - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
326     the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
327     didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
328 root 1.114 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
329    
330 root 1.113 4.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
331 root 1.109 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
332 root 1.110 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
333     EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
334 root 1.111 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
335 root 1.106 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
336 root 1.112 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
337 root 1.104 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
338 root 1.114 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
339 root 1.107 sake of perl 5.8.
340 root 1.106 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
341     (still a hack...)
342     - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
343 root 1.108 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
344     die handlers.
345 root 1.104
346 root 1.102 4.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
347 root 1.100 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
348     error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
349 root 1.96 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
350 root 1.97 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
351 root 1.101 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
352 root 1.100 - updated documentation.
353 root 1.103 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
354 root 1.98 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
355     in AnyEvent::Handle.
356 root 1.101 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
357     - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
358 root 1.99 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
359 root 1.100 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
360 root 1.96
361 root 1.95 4.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
362 root 1.88 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
363     - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
364 root 1.93 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
365 root 1.90 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
366     - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
367 root 1.94 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
368 root 1.93 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
369 root 1.89 verbatim ip addresses.
370 root 1.88 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
371 root 1.87 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
372 root 1.86 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
373 root 1.83 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
374 root 1.84 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
375 root 1.121 become writable until empty.
376 root 1.81 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
377     returns ENOTCONN.
378 root 1.181 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
379 root 1.82 override.
380 root 1.91 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
381 root 1.81
382 root 1.80 3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
383 root 1.79 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
384     (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
385 root 1.77 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
386     helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
387     - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
388     - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
389     - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
390 elmex 1.74 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
391     first and second argument.
392 root 1.77 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
393 root 1.72 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
394 root 1.78 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
395     cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
396     and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
397 root 1.72
398 root 1.71 3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
399     - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
400    
401 root 1.70 3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
402 root 1.181 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
403 root 1.70 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
404 root 1.69 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
405     (still subject to change).
406 root 1.63 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
407 root 1.68 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
408 root 1.67 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
409     (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
410 root 1.66 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
411     via Coro::AnyEvent.
412 root 1.63
413 root 1.62 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
414     - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
415 root 1.55 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
416     when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
417 root 1.54 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
418     the different event loops with each other.
419 root 1.56 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
420     but doesn't crash with many watchers.
421 root 1.62 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
422 root 1.56 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
423     kept alive.
424     - document the race between loading of an event module and
425     child processes exiting.
426 root 1.53 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
427 root 1.54 enough, and darn slow).
428 root 1.53 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
429 root 1.60 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
430 root 1.62 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
431 root 1.60 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
432     faster than Event and Glib :).
433 root 1.59 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
434 root 1.62 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
435     to other event loops where possible.
436 root 1.53
437 root 1.50 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
438 root 1.51 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
439     in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
440     for the same fh/poll combo).
441     - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
442 root 1.47 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
443 root 1.49 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
444     - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
445 root 1.52 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
446 root 1.47
447 root 1.46 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
448     - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
449     - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
450     strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
451     - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
452     better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
453     - do not send the signal to the process group
454     (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
455    
456 root 1.45 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
457     - major documentation rework.
458     - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
459     - fix the child watcher example.
460    
461 root 1.43 3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
462 root 1.40 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
463 root 1.43 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
464     don't get fixed anytime soon).
465 root 1.42 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
466     (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
467     such strong limits).
468 root 1.41 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
469     - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
470     unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
471     any restrictions...).
472     - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
473 root 1.40
474 root 1.39 3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
475 root 1.38 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
476     up the Coro implementation in general.
477     - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
478     - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
479 root 1.44 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
480 root 1.38
481 root 1.37 2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
482     - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
483    
484 root 1.36 2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
485     - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
486     instead of reporting it to any watchers.
487    
488 root 1.35 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
489 root 1.34 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
490     too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
491 root 1.35 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
492     or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
493     watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
494     (except when Event or EV are installed).
495 root 1.34
496 root 1.33 2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
497 root 1.32 - fix bug in testsuite.
498     - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
499     - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
500 root 1.26
501 root 1.31 2.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
502 root 1.27 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
503 root 1.30 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
504 root 1.29 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
505 root 1.27
506 root 1.25 2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
507     - work around a perl bug that results in
508     BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
509     any discernible reason or error message by once
510     again not use'ing strict.
511    
512 root 1.24 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
513     - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
514    
515 root 1.22 2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
516     - child watchers stopped working permanently when
517 root 1.23 all current child watchers were destroyed.
518 root 1.22
519 root 1.21 2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
520     - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
521     true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
522    
523 root 1.20 2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
524 root 1.19 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
525 root 1.20 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
526     - implement signal watchers (experimental)
527     (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
528     so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
529     - implement child watchers (experimental).
530     - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
531     most implementation modules.
532 root 1.14
533 root 1.18 2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
534 root 1.16 - better docs.

537 root 1.16
538 root 1.15 2.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
539 root 1.13 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
540     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
541     - EXPERIMENTAL:
542     new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
543     event model.
544 root 1.12 - improved documentation.
545     - reduced cpu overhead.
546    
547 root 1.11 1.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006

557 root 1.7 0.9 Fri Dec 30 02:25:41 CET 2005
558 root 1.6 - fixed errors in the documentation.
559 root 1.7 - going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
560     as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
561     this method.
562     - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
563     and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
564     glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
565     (older) versions of glib.
566     - implemented PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE env variable.
567 root 1.6
568 root 1.5 0.3 Sun Dec 4 10:43:33 CET 2005
569     - no changes to the code.

575 root 1.44 - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
576 root 1.4 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
577     - don't die when some modules are not available.
578     - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works.
579 root 1.3
580 root 1.2 0.1 Thu Dec 1 19:44:57 CET 2005
