1 root 1.1 Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2    
3 root 1.259 ZERO_RETURN - stoptls?
4 root 1.260 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
5     creation, with many options including hostname verification,
6     secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
7     predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
8     and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
9     - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
10 root 1.256 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
11     so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
12     in the common case.
13 root 1.258 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
14     - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
15     on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
16 root 1.257 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
17     failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
18     from the constructor.
19 root 1.259 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
20     then fall back to JSON.
21 root 1.256
22 root 1.258 4.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
23     - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
24     object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
25    
26 root 1.255 4.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
27     - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
28     an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
29 root 1.251 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
30     AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
31     to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
32 root 1.254 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
33 root 1.252 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
34     - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
35 root 1.255 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
36 root 1.250
37 root 1.249 4.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
38 root 1.248 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
39 root 1.247 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
40     case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
41     even when the calling env acts stupidly.
42 root 1.248 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
43 root 1.247
44 root 1.245 4.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
45 root 1.242 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
46     and set it on the default resolver.
47 root 1.241 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
48 root 1.242 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
49     when running in tainted mode.
50 root 1.244 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
51 root 1.241
52 root 1.240 4.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
53 root 1.239 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
54    
55 root 1.238 4.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
56 root 1.236 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
57     a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
58 root 1.237 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
59     destructors.
60     - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
61     synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
62     implementation.
63 root 1.238 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
64     for cosmetic reasons.
65 root 1.235
66 root 1.234 4.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
67     - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
68 root 1.232 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
69     - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
70     - sped up Tk timer handling.
71 root 1.233 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
72     to avoid spamming out warning messages.
73 root 1.232 - fix Qt timers without interval.
74 root 1.242 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
75 root 1.232
76 root 1.231 4.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
77 root 1.229 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
78 root 1.230 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
79     - add AnyEvent->now_update.
80 root 1.229
81 root 1.228 4.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
82 root 1.225 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
83 root 1.227 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
84     perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
85 root 1.226 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
86 root 1.225
87 root 1.224 4.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
88 root 1.220 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
89     invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
90     and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
91     event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
92     callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
93 root 1.224 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
94 root 1.223 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
95 root 1.220 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
96 root 1.221 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
97     is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
98 root 1.224 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
99 root 1.220
100 root 1.219 4.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
101 root 1.218 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
102     deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
103     read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
104 root 1.214 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
105 root 1.215 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
106     - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
107     backend.
108 root 1.216 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
109 root 1.214
110 root 1.213 4.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
111 root 1.212 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
112     completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
113     so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
114     (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
115     - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
116 root 1.211 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
117    
118 root 1.210 4.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
119     - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
120     illegal.
121 root 1.206 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
122     by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
123 root 1.207 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
124     by Adam Rosenstein).
125 root 1.209 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
126 root 1.208 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
127 root 1.209 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
128 root 1.206
129 root 1.205 4.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
130 root 1.204 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
131     unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
132     the socket type.
133     - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
134    
135 root 1.203 4.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
136 root 1.200 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
137 root 1.203 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
138 root 1.200 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
139     instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
140 root 1.201 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
141 root 1.202 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
142 root 1.198
143 root 1.197 4.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
144 root 1.196 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
145     unless one has been installed already.
146 root 1.197 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
147     (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
148 root 1.193 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
149     - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
150 root 1.191 client would first wait for some data by the server and
151 root 1.197 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
152 root 1.191 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
153 root 1.193 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
154 root 1.191 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
155 root 1.197 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
156 root 1.191 Rosenstein).
157 root 1.193 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
158 root 1.191 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
159     Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
160 root 1.192 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
161     - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
162     instead of simply destroying the stream now.
163 root 1.195 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
164     would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
165 root 1.193 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
166     - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
167     now, more to come, though.
168 root 1.194 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
169 root 1.191
170 root 1.190 4.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
171 root 1.189 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
172     no trace events.
173 root 1.190 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
174     - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
175 root 1.188 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
176 root 1.187 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
177 root 1.190 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
178 root 1.187 Time::HiRes).
179    
180 root 1.186 4.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
181     - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
182     - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
183    
184 root 1.185 4.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
185     - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
186     callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
187     (testcase by Leon Brocard).
188     - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
189    
190 root 1.184 4.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
191     - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
192     (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
193     perls without resource leaks or worse).
194    
195 root 1.183 4.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
196 root 1.177 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
197     the callback.
198 root 1.178 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
199 root 1.180 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
200 root 1.179 eol marker.
201 root 1.180 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
202 root 1.182 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
203 root 1.180 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
204 root 1.177
205 root 1.176 4.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
206 root 1.174 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
207 root 1.175 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
208     working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
209     some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
210     people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
211 root 1.174
212 root 1.173 4.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
213 root 1.171 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
214     which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
215 root 1.172 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
216     why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
217     unusable way.
218     - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
219     AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
220     K. Sharifulin).
221 root 1.170
222 root 1.169 4.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
223 root 1.165 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
224 root 1.164 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
225     be delayed under some circumstances.
226 root 1.167 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
227 root 1.169 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
228     and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
229     - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
230 root 1.168 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
231 root 1.164 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
232    
233 root 1.163 4.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
234 elmex 1.162 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
235 root 1.163 assumption that all data could be written before read
236     (reported by Jim Razmus).
237 elmex 1.162
238 root 1.161 4.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
239 root 1.160 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
240     not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
241     implementation (also affected child watchers).
242 root 1.159 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
243    
244 root 1.158 4.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
245 root 1.159 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
246     on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
247 root 1.158 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
248    
249 root 1.157 4.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
250     - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
251     works.
252    
253 root 1.155 4.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
254 root 1.154 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
255     one watcher was registered for the same fd.
256 root 1.155 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
257     for AnyEvent::Handle.
258 root 1.156 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
259 root 1.153 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
260    
261 root 1.152 4.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
262 elmex 1.149 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
263 root 1.150 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
264     executing the guard block as warnings.
265 root 1.152 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
266 elmex 1.149
267 root 1.148 4.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
268 root 1.146 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
269     contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
270     microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
271 root 1.147 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
272     but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
273     case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
274     and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
275 root 1.145 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
276     when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
277     and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
278     enter an endless loop.
279     - correctly start reading again when the handle became
280     busy again after idling.
281 root 1.146 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
282     (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
283 root 1.145 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
284     (hopefully).
285 root 1.146 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
286     away any time.
287 root 1.145
288 root 1.144 4.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
289     - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
290     anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
291 root 1.143 - allow more options in on_error.
292 root 1.142
293 root 1.141 4.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
294 root 1.135 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
295     reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
296     v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
297 root 1.129 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
298 root 1.130 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
299     also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
300 root 1.134 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
301 root 1.133 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
302     rfc 2782.
303 root 1.137 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
304     - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
305 root 1.138 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
306     being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
307     could die. this has been fixed.
308     - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
309     - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
310 root 1.139 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
311     for resolver class.
312 root 1.140 - update version numbers in all modules.
313 root 1.129
314 root 1.128 4.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
315 root 1.123 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
316     which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
317     for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
318     AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
319 root 1.127 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
320 root 1.124 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
321 root 1.123 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
322     - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
323     a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
324 root 1.126 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
325 root 1.122 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
326     - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
327 root 1.118 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
328     - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
329 root 1.120 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
330 root 1.127 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
331 root 1.121 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
332     select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
333     workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
334     but EV also works around this).
335 root 1.123 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
336 root 1.122 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
337     vs. callback arguments.
338 root 1.127 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
339 root 1.117
340 root 1.116 4.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
341     - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
342     the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
343     didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
344 root 1.114 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
345    
346 root 1.113 4.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
347 root 1.109 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
348 root 1.110 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
349     EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
350 root 1.111 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
351 root 1.106 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
352 root 1.112 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
353 root 1.104 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
354 root 1.114 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
355 root 1.107 sake of perl 5.8.
356 root 1.106 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
357     (still a hack...)
358     - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
359 root 1.108 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
360     die handlers.
361 root 1.104
362 root 1.102 4.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008

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

398 root 1.80 3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
399 root 1.79 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
400     (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
401 root 1.77 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
402     helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.

404     - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.

417 root 1.70 3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
418 root 1.181 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
419 root 1.70 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
420 root 1.69 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
421     (still subject to change).
422 root 1.63 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
423 root 1.68 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
424 root 1.67 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
425     (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
426 root 1.66 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
427     via Coro::AnyEvent.
428 root 1.63
429 root 1.62 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
430     - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
431 root 1.55 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
432     when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
433 root 1.54 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
434     the different event loops with each other.
435 root 1.56 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
436     but doesn't crash with many watchers.
437 root 1.62 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
438 root 1.56 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
439     kept alive.
440     - document the race between loading of an event module and
441     child processes exiting.
442 root 1.53 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
443 root 1.54 enough, and darn slow).
444 root 1.53 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
445 root 1.60 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
446 root 1.62 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
447 root 1.60 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
448     faster than Event and Glib :).
449 root 1.59 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
450 root 1.62 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
451     to other event loops where possible.
452 root 1.53
453 root 1.50 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
454 root 1.51 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
455     in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
456     for the same fh/poll combo).
457     - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
458 root 1.47 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
459 root 1.49 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
460     - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
461 root 1.52 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
462 root 1.47
463 root 1.46 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
464     - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
465     - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
466     strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
467     - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
468     better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
469     - do not send the signal to the process group
470     (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
471    
472 root 1.45 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008

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

499    
500 root 1.36 2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
501     - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life

503    
504 root 1.35 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
505 root 1.34 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
506     too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
507 root 1.35 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
508     or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
509     watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
510     (except when Event or EV are installed).
511 root 1.34
512 root 1.33 2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007

521 root 1.27
522 root 1.25 2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007

525     any discernible reason or error message by once
526     again not use'ing strict.
527    
528 root 1.24 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007

530    
531 root 1.22 2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007

534 root 1.22
535 root 1.21 2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006

538    
539 root 1.20 2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
540 root 1.19 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
541 root 1.20 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
542     - implement signal watchers (experimental)
543     (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
544     so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
545     - implement child watchers (experimental).
546     - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
547     most implementation modules.
548 root 1.14

556     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
557     - EXPERIMENTAL:
558     new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
559     event model.
560 root 1.12 - improved documentation.

574 root 1.6 - fixed errors in the documentation.
575 root 1.7 - going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
576     as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
577     this method.
578     - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
579     and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
580     glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
581     (older) versions of glib.
