1 root 1.1 Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2    
3 root 1.259 ZERO_RETURN - stoptls?
4 root 1.261 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
5     uppercase targets.
6 root 1.260 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
7     creation, with many options including hostname verification,
8     secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
9     predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
10     and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
11     - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
12 root 1.256 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
13     so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
14     in the common case.
15 root 1.258 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
16     - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
17     on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
18 root 1.257 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
19     failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
20     from the constructor.
21 root 1.259 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
22     then fall back to JSON.
23 root 1.256
24 root 1.258 4.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
25     - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
26     object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
27    
28 root 1.255 4.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
29     - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
30     an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
31 root 1.251 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
32     AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
33     to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
34 root 1.254 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
35 root 1.252 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
36     - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
37 root 1.255 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
38 root 1.250
39 root 1.249 4.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
40 root 1.248 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
41 root 1.247 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
42     case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
43     even when the calling env acts stupidly.
44 root 1.248 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
45 root 1.247
46 root 1.245 4.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
47 root 1.242 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
48     and set it on the default resolver.
49 root 1.241 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
50 root 1.242 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
51     when running in tainted mode.
52 root 1.244 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
53 root 1.241
54 root 1.240 4.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
55 root 1.239 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
56    
57 root 1.238 4.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
58 root 1.236 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
59     a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
60 root 1.237 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
61     destructors.
62     - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
63     synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
64     implementation.
65 root 1.238 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
66     for cosmetic reasons.
67 root 1.235
68 root 1.234 4.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
69     - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
70 root 1.232 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
71     - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
72     - sped up Tk timer handling.
73 root 1.233 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
74     to avoid spamming out warning messages.
75 root 1.232 - fix Qt timers without interval.
76 root 1.242 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
77 root 1.232
78 root 1.231 4.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
79 root 1.229 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
80 root 1.230 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
81     - add AnyEvent->now_update.
82 root 1.229
83 root 1.228 4.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
84 root 1.225 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
85 root 1.227 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
86     perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
87 root 1.226 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
88 root 1.225
89 root 1.224 4.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
90 root 1.220 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
91     invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
92     and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
93     event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
94     callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
95 root 1.224 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
96 root 1.223 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
97 root 1.220 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
98 root 1.221 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
99     is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
100 root 1.224 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
101 root 1.220
102 root 1.219 4.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
103 root 1.218 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
104     deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
105     read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
106 root 1.214 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
107 root 1.215 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
108     - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
109     backend.
110 root 1.216 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
111 root 1.214
112 root 1.213 4.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
113 root 1.212 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
114     completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
115     so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
116     (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
117     - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
118 root 1.211 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
119    
120 root 1.210 4.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
121     - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
122     illegal.
123 root 1.206 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
124     by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
125 root 1.207 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
126     by Adam Rosenstein).
127 root 1.209 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
128 root 1.208 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
129 root 1.209 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
130 root 1.206
131 root 1.205 4.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
132 root 1.204 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
133     unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
134     the socket type.
135     - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
136    
137 root 1.203 4.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
138 root 1.200 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
139 root 1.203 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
140 root 1.200 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
141     instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
142 root 1.201 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
143 root 1.202 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
144 root 1.198
145 root 1.197 4.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
146 root 1.196 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
147     unless one has been installed already.
148 root 1.197 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
149     (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
150 root 1.193 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
151     - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
152 root 1.191 client would first wait for some data by the server and
153 root 1.197 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
154 root 1.191 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
155 root 1.193 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
156 root 1.191 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
157 root 1.197 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
158 root 1.191 Rosenstein).
159 root 1.193 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
160 root 1.191 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
161     Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
162 root 1.192 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
163     - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
164     instead of simply destroying the stream now.
165 root 1.195 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
166     would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
167 root 1.193 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
168     - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
169     now, more to come, though.
170 root 1.194 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
171 root 1.191
172 root 1.190 4.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
173 root 1.189 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
174     no trace events.
175 root 1.190 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
176     - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
177 root 1.188 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
178 root 1.187 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
179 root 1.190 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
180 root 1.187 Time::HiRes).
181    
182 root 1.186 4.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
183     - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
184     - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
185    
186 root 1.185 4.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
187     - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
188     callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
189     (testcase by Leon Brocard).
190     - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
191    
192 root 1.184 4.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
193     - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
194     (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
195     perls without resource leaks or worse).
196    
197 root 1.183 4.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
198 root 1.177 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
199     the callback.
200 root 1.178 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
201 root 1.180 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
202 root 1.179 eol marker.
203 root 1.180 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
204 root 1.182 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
205 root 1.180 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
206 root 1.177
207 root 1.176 4.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
208 root 1.174 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
209 root 1.175 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
210     working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
211     some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
212     people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
213 root 1.174
214 root 1.173 4.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
215 root 1.171 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
216     which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
217 root 1.172 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
218     why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
219     unusable way.
220     - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
221     AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
222     K. Sharifulin).
223 root 1.170
224 root 1.169 4.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
225 root 1.165 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
226 root 1.164 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
227     be delayed under some circumstances.
228 root 1.167 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
229 root 1.169 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
230     and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
231     - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
232 root 1.168 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
233 root 1.164 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
234    
235 root 1.163 4.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
236 elmex 1.162 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
237 root 1.163 assumption that all data could be written before read
238     (reported by Jim Razmus).
239 elmex 1.162
240 root 1.161 4.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
241 root 1.160 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
242     not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
243     implementation (also affected child watchers).
244 root 1.159 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
245    
246 root 1.158 4.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
247 root 1.159 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
248     on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
249 root 1.158 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
250    
251 root 1.157 4.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
252     - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
253     works.
254    
255 root 1.155 4.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
256 root 1.154 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
257     one watcher was registered for the same fd.
258 root 1.155 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
259     for AnyEvent::Handle.
260 root 1.156 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
261 root 1.153 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
262    
263 root 1.152 4.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
264 elmex 1.149 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
265 root 1.150 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
266     executing the guard block as warnings.
267 root 1.152 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
268 elmex 1.149
269 root 1.148 4.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
270 root 1.146 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
271     contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
272     microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
273 root 1.147 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
274     but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
275     case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
276     and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
277 root 1.145 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
278     when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
279     and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
280     enter an endless loop.
281     - correctly start reading again when the handle became
282     busy again after idling.
283 root 1.146 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
284     (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
285 root 1.145 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
286     (hopefully).
287 root 1.146 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
288     away any time.
289 root 1.145
290 root 1.144 4.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
291     - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
292     anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
293 root 1.143 - allow more options in on_error.
294 root 1.142
295 root 1.141 4.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
296 root 1.135 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
297     reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
298     v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
299 root 1.129 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
300 root 1.130 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
301     also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
302 root 1.134 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
303 root 1.133 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
304     rfc 2782.
305 root 1.137 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
306     - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
307 root 1.138 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
308     being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
309     could die. this has been fixed.
310     - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
311     - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
312 root 1.139 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
313     for resolver class.
314 root 1.140 - update version numbers in all modules.
315 root 1.129
316 root 1.128 4.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
317 root 1.123 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
318     which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
319     for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
320     AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
321 root 1.127 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
322 root 1.124 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
323 root 1.123 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
324     - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
325     a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
326 root 1.126 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
327 root 1.122 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
328     - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
329 root 1.118 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
330     - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
331 root 1.120 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
332 root 1.127 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
333 root 1.121 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
334     select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
335     workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
336     but EV also works around this).
337 root 1.123 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
338 root 1.122 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
339     vs. callback arguments.
340 root 1.127 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
341 root 1.117
342 root 1.116 4.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
343     - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
344     the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
345     didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
346 root 1.114 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
347    
348 root 1.113 4.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
349 root 1.109 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
350 root 1.110 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
351     EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
352 root 1.111 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
353 root 1.106 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
354 root 1.112 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
355 root 1.104 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
356 root 1.114 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
357 root 1.107 sake of perl 5.8.
358 root 1.106 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
359     (still a hack...)
360     - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
361 root 1.108 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
362     die handlers.

381     - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
382 root 1.93 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
383 root 1.90 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
384     - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
385 root 1.94 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
386 root 1.93 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
387 root 1.89 verbatim ip addresses.
388 root 1.88 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
389 root 1.87 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
390 root 1.86 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
391 root 1.83 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
392 root 1.84 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to

396 root 1.181 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
397 root 1.82 override.

399 root 1.81
400 root 1.80 3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
401 root 1.79 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
402     (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
403 root 1.77 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
404     helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
405     - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
406     - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
407     - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.

415 root 1.72
416 root 1.71 3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
417     - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
418    
419 root 1.70 3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
420 root 1.181 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
421 root 1.70 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
422 root 1.69 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
423     (still subject to change).
424 root 1.63 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
425 root 1.68 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
426 root 1.67 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
427     (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
428 root 1.66 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
429     via Coro::AnyEvent.
430 root 1.63
431 root 1.62 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
432     - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
433 root 1.55 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
434     when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
435 root 1.54 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
436     the different event loops with each other.
437 root 1.56 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
438     but doesn't crash with many watchers.
439 root 1.62 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
440 root 1.56 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
441     kept alive.
442     - document the race between loading of an event module and
443     child processes exiting.
444 root 1.53 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
445 root 1.54 enough, and darn slow).
446 root 1.53 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
447 root 1.60 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
448 root 1.62 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
449 root 1.60 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
450     faster than Event and Glib :).
451 root 1.59 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
452 root 1.62 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
453     to other event loops where possible.
454 root 1.53
455 root 1.50 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
456 root 1.51 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
457     in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
458     for the same fh/poll combo).
459     - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
460 root 1.47 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
461 root 1.49 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
462     - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
463 root 1.52 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
464 root 1.47
465 root 1.46 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
466     - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
467     - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
468     strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
469     - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
470     better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
471     - do not send the signal to the process group
472     (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
473    
474 root 1.45 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
475     - major documentation rework.
476     - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
477     - fix the child watcher example.
478    
479 root 1.43 3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
480 root 1.40 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
481 root 1.43 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
482     don't get fixed anytime soon).
483 root 1.42 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
484     (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
485     such strong limits).
486 root 1.41 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
487     - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
488     unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
489     any restrictions...).
490     - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
491 root 1.40
492 root 1.39 3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
493 root 1.38 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
494     up the Coro implementation in general.
495     - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
496     - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
497 root 1.44 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
498 root 1.38
499 root 1.37 2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
500     - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
501    
502 root 1.36 2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
503     - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
504     instead of reporting it to any watchers.
505    
506 root 1.35 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
507 root 1.34 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
508     too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
509 root 1.35 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
510     or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
511     watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
512     (except when Event or EV are installed).
513 root 1.34
514 root 1.33 2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
515 root 1.32 - fix bug in testsuite.
516     - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
517     - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
518 root 1.26
519 root 1.31 2.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
520 root 1.27 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
521 root 1.30 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
522 root 1.29 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
523 root 1.27
524 root 1.25 2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
525     - work around a perl bug that results in
526     BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
527     any discernible reason or error message by once
528     again not use'ing strict.
529    
530 root 1.24 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
531     - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
532    
533 root 1.22 2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
534     - child watchers stopped working permanently when
535 root 1.23 all current child watchers were destroyed.
536 root 1.22
537 root 1.21 2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
538     - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
539     true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
540    
541 root 1.20 2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
542 root 1.19 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
543 root 1.20 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
544     - implement signal watchers (experimental)
545     (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
546     so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
547     - implement child watchers (experimental).
548     - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
549     most implementation modules.
550 root 1.14
551 root 1.18 2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
552 root 1.16 - better docs.
553     - simple testsuite.
554 root 1.17 - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
555 root 1.16
556 root 1.15 2.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
557 root 1.13 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
558     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
559     - EXPERIMENTAL:
560     new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
561     event model.
562 root 1.12 - improved documentation.
563     - reduced cpu overhead.
564    
565 root 1.11 1.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006
566     - add COPYING to clarify license.
567    
568 root 1.10 1.01 Sun Jan 8 05:48:09 CET 2006
569     - correctly cancel Event timers, avoid memory leaks.
570    
571 root 1.9 1.0 Sun Jan 8 05:40:58 CET 2006
572 root 1.8 - allow third-party interfaces to be added at runtime.
573     - fix version number.
574    
575 root 1.7 0.9 Fri Dec 30 02:25:41 CET 2005
576 root 1.6 - fixed errors in the documentation.
577 root 1.7 - going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
578     as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
579     this method.
580     - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
581     and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
582     glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
583     (older) versions of glib.
584     - implemented PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE env variable.
585 root 1.6
586 root 1.5 0.3 Sun Dec 4 10:43:33 CET 2005
587     - no changes to the code.
588     - fixed documentation.
589     - clarified some corner cases.
590     - vastly improved documentation with a long example.
591    
592 root 1.3 0.2 Thu Dec 1 22:18:49 CET 2005
593 root 1.44 - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
594 root 1.4 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
595     - don't die when some modules are not available.
596     - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works.
597 root 1.3
598 root 1.2 0.1 Thu Dec 1 19:44:57 CET 2005
599     - spiced up and cleaned up for release.
