# 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 1.258 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
7     - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
8     on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
9 root 1.257 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
10     failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
11     from the constructor.
12 root 1.256
13 root 1.258 4.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
14     - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
15     object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
16    
17 root 1.255 4.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
18     - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
19     an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
20 root 1.251 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
21     AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
22     to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
23 root 1.254 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
24 root 1.252 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
25     - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
26 root 1.255 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
27 root 1.250
28 root 1.249 4.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
29 root 1.248 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
30 root 1.247 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
31     case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
32     even when the calling env acts stupidly.
33 root 1.248 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
34 root 1.247
35 root 1.245 4.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
36 root 1.242 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
37     and set it on the default resolver.
38 root 1.241 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
39 root 1.242 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
40     when running in tainted mode.
41 root 1.244 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
42 root 1.241
43 root 1.240 4.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
44 root 1.239 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
45    
46 root 1.238 4.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
47 root 1.236 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
48     a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
49 root 1.237 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
50     destructors.
51     - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
52     synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
53     implementation.
54 root 1.238 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
55     for cosmetic reasons.
56 root 1.235
57 root 1.234 4.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
58     - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
59 root 1.232 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
60     - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
61     - sped up Tk timer handling.
62 root 1.233 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
63     to avoid spamming out warning messages.
64 root 1.232 - fix Qt timers without interval.
65 root 1.242 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
66 root 1.232
67 root 1.231 4.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
68 root 1.229 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
69 root 1.230 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
70     - add AnyEvent->now_update.
71 root 1.229
72 root 1.228 4.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
73 root 1.225 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
74 root 1.227 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
75     perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
76 root 1.226 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
77 root 1.225
78 root 1.224 4.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
79 root 1.220 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
80     invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
81     and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
82     event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
83     callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
84 root 1.224 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
85 root 1.223 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
86 root 1.220 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
87 root 1.221 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
88     is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
89 root 1.224 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
90 root 1.220
91 root 1.219 4.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
92 root 1.218 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
93     deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
94     read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
95 root 1.214 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
96 root 1.215 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
97     - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
98     backend.
99 root 1.216 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
100 root 1.214
101 root 1.213 4.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
102 root 1.212 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
103     completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
104     so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
105     (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
106     - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
107 root 1.211 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
108    
109 root 1.210 4.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
110     - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
111     illegal.
112 root 1.206 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
113     by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
114 root 1.207 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
115     by Adam Rosenstein).
116 root 1.209 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
117 root 1.208 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
118 root 1.209 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
119 root 1.206
120 root 1.205 4.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
121 root 1.204 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
122     unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
123     the socket type.
124     - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
125    
126 root 1.203 4.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
127 root 1.200 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
128 root 1.203 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
129 root 1.200 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
130     instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
131 root 1.201 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
132 root 1.202 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
133 root 1.198
134 root 1.197 4.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
135 root 1.196 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
136     unless one has been installed already.
137 root 1.197 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
138     (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
139 root 1.193 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
140     - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
141 root 1.191 client would first wait for some data by the server and
142 root 1.197 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
143 root 1.191 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
144 root 1.193 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
145 root 1.191 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
146 root 1.197 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
147 root 1.191 Rosenstein).
148 root 1.193 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
149 root 1.191 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
150     Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
151 root 1.192 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
152     - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
153     instead of simply destroying the stream now.
154 root 1.195 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
155     would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
156 root 1.193 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
157     - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
158     now, more to come, though.
159 root 1.194 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
160 root 1.191
161 root 1.190 4.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
162 root 1.189 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
163     no trace events.
164 root 1.190 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
165     - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
166 root 1.188 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
167 root 1.187 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
168 root 1.190 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
169 root 1.187 Time::HiRes).
170    
171 root 1.186 4.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
172     - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
173     - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
174    
175 root 1.185 4.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
176     - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
177     callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
178     (testcase by Leon Brocard).
179     - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
180    
181 root 1.184 4.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
182     - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
183     (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
184     perls without resource leaks or worse).
185    
186 root 1.183 4.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
187 root 1.177 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
188     the callback.
189 root 1.178 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
190 root 1.180 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
191 root 1.179 eol marker.
192 root 1.180 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
193 root 1.182 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
194 root 1.180 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
195 root 1.177
196 root 1.176 4.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
197 root 1.174 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
198 root 1.175 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
199     working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
200     some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
201     people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
202 root 1.174
203 root 1.173 4.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
204 root 1.171 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
205     which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
206 root 1.172 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
207     why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
208     unusable way.
209     - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
210     AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
211     K. Sharifulin).
212 root 1.170
213 root 1.169 4.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
214 root 1.165 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
215 root 1.164 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
216     be delayed under some circumstances.
217 root 1.167 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
218 root 1.169 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
219     and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
220     - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
221 root 1.168 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
222 root 1.164 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
223    
224 root 1.163 4.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
225 elmex 1.162 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
226 root 1.163 assumption that all data could be written before read
227     (reported by Jim Razmus).
228 elmex 1.162
229 root 1.161 4.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
230 root 1.160 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
231     not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
232     implementation (also affected child watchers).
233 root 1.159 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
234    
235 root 1.158 4.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
236 root 1.159 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
237     on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
238 root 1.158 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
239    
240 root 1.157 4.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
241     - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
242     works.
243    
244 root 1.155 4.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
245 root 1.154 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
246     one watcher was registered for the same fd.
247 root 1.155 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
248     for AnyEvent::Handle.
249 root 1.156 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
250 root 1.153 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
251    
252 root 1.152 4.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
253 elmex 1.149 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
254 root 1.150 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
255     executing the guard block as warnings.
256 root 1.152 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
257 elmex 1.149
258 root 1.148 4.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
259 root 1.146 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
260     contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
261     microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
262 root 1.147 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
263     but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
264     case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
265     and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
266 root 1.145 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
267     when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
268     and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
269     enter an endless loop.
270     - correctly start reading again when the handle became
271     busy again after idling.
272 root 1.146 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
273     (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
274 root 1.145 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
275     (hopefully).
276 root 1.146 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
277     away any time.
278 root 1.145
279 root 1.144 4.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
280     - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
281     anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
282 root 1.143 - allow more options in on_error.
283 root 1.142
284 root 1.141 4.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
285 root 1.135 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
286     reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
287     v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
288 root 1.129 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
289 root 1.130 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
290     also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
291 root 1.134 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
292 root 1.133 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
293     rfc 2782.
294 root 1.137 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
295     - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
296 root 1.138 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
297     being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
298     could die. this has been fixed.
299     - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
300     - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
301 root 1.139 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
302     for resolver class.
303 root 1.140 - update version numbers in all modules.
304 root 1.129
305 root 1.128 4.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
306 root 1.123 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
307     which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
308     for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
309     AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
310 root 1.127 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
311 root 1.124 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
312 root 1.123 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
313     - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
314     a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
315 root 1.126 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
316 root 1.122 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
317     - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
318 root 1.118 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
319     - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
320 root 1.120 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
321 root 1.127 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
322 root 1.121 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
323     select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
324     workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
325     but EV also works around this).
326 root 1.123 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
327 root 1.122 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
328     vs. callback arguments.
329 root 1.127 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
330 root 1.117
331 root 1.116 4.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
332     - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
333     the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
334     didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
335 root 1.114 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
336    
337 root 1.113 4.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
338 root 1.109 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
339 root 1.110 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
340     EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
341 root 1.111 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
342 root 1.106 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
343 root 1.112 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
344 root 1.104 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
345 root 1.114 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
346 root 1.107 sake of perl 5.8.
347 root 1.106 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
348     (still a hack...)
349     - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
350 root 1.108 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
351     die handlers.
352 root 1.104
353 root 1.102 4.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
354 root 1.100 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
355     error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
356 root 1.96 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
357 root 1.97 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
358 root 1.101 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
359 root 1.100 - updated documentation.
360 root 1.103 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
361 root 1.98 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes

372 root 1.90 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
373     - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
374 root 1.94 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
375 root 1.93 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
376 root 1.89 verbatim ip addresses.
377 root 1.88 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.

390 root 1.79 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
391     (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
392 root 1.77 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
393     helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.

395     - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.

408 root 1.70 3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
409 root 1.181 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
410 root 1.70 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
411 root 1.69 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
412     (still subject to change).
413 root 1.63 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
414 root 1.68 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
415 root 1.67 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
416     (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
417 root 1.66 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
418     via Coro::AnyEvent.
419 root 1.63
420 root 1.62 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
421     - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
422 root 1.55 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
423     when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
424 root 1.54 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
425     the different event loops with each other.
426 root 1.56 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
427     but doesn't crash with many watchers.
428 root 1.62 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
429 root 1.56 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
430     kept alive.
431     - document the race between loading of an event module and
432     child processes exiting.
433 root 1.53 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
434 root 1.54 enough, and darn slow).
435 root 1.53 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
436 root 1.60 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
437 root 1.62 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
438 root 1.60 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
439     faster than Event and Glib :).
440 root 1.59 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
441 root 1.62 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
442     to other event loops where possible.
443 root 1.53
444 root 1.50 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
445 root 1.51 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
446     in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
447     for the same fh/poll combo).
448     - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
449 root 1.47 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
450 root 1.49 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
451     - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
452 root 1.52 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
453 root 1.47
454 root 1.46 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
455     - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
456     - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
457     strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
458     - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
459     better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
460     - do not send the signal to the process group
461     (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
462    
463 root 1.45 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008

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

490    
491 root 1.36 2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
492     - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life

494    
495 root 1.35 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
496 root 1.34 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
497     too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
498 root 1.35 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
499     or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
500     watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
501     (except when Event or EV are installed).
502 root 1.34
503 root 1.33 2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007

512 root 1.27
513 root 1.25 2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007

516     any discernible reason or error message by once
517     again not use'ing strict.
518    
519 root 1.24 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007

521    
522 root 1.22 2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
523     - child watchers stopped working permanently when

525 root 1.22
526 root 1.21 2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006

528     true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
529    
530 root 1.20 2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
531 root 1.19 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
532 root 1.20 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
533     - implement signal watchers (experimental)
534     (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
535     so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
536     - implement child watchers (experimental).
537     - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
538     most implementation modules.
539 root 1.14

547     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
548     - EXPERIMENTAL:
549     new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
550     event model.
551 root 1.12 - improved documentation.

565 root 1.6 - fixed errors in the documentation.
566 root 1.7 - going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
567     as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
568     this method.
569     - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
570     and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
571     glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
572     (older) versions of glib.
