# User Rev Content
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 1.262 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
7     with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
8     causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
9 root 1.260 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
10     creation, with many options including hostname verification,
11     secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
12     predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
13     and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
14     - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
15 root 1.256 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
16     so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
17     in the common case.
18 root 1.258 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
19     - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
20     on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
21 root 1.257 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
22     failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
23     from the constructor.
24 root 1.259 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
25     then fall back to JSON.
26 root 1.262 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
27     and because it was documented that way.
28 root 1.256
29 root 1.258 4.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
30     - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
31     object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
32    
33 root 1.255 4.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
34     - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
35     an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
36 root 1.251 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
37     AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
38     to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
39 root 1.254 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
40 root 1.252 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
41     - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
42 root 1.255 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
43 root 1.250
44 root 1.249 4.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
45 root 1.248 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
46 root 1.247 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
47     case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
48     even when the calling env acts stupidly.
49 root 1.248 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
50 root 1.247
51 root 1.245 4.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
52 root 1.242 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
53     and set it on the default resolver.
54 root 1.241 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
55 root 1.242 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
56     when running in tainted mode.
57 root 1.244 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
58 root 1.241
59 root 1.240 4.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
60 root 1.239 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
61    
62 root 1.238 4.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
63 root 1.236 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
64     a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
65 root 1.237 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
66     destructors.
67     - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
68     synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
69     implementation.
70 root 1.238 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
71     for cosmetic reasons.
72 root 1.235
73 root 1.234 4.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
74     - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
75 root 1.232 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
76     - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
77     - sped up Tk timer handling.
78 root 1.233 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
79     to avoid spamming out warning messages.
80 root 1.232 - fix Qt timers without interval.
81 root 1.242 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
82 root 1.232
83 root 1.231 4.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
84 root 1.229 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
85 root 1.230 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
86     - add AnyEvent->now_update.
87 root 1.229
88 root 1.228 4.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
89 root 1.225 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
90 root 1.227 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
91     perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
92 root 1.226 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
93 root 1.225
94 root 1.224 4.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
95 root 1.220 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
96     invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
97     and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
98     event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
99     callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
100 root 1.224 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
101 root 1.223 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
102 root 1.220 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
103 root 1.221 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
104     is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
105 root 1.224 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
106 root 1.220
107 root 1.219 4.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
108 root 1.218 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
109     deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
110     read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
111 root 1.214 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
112 root 1.215 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
113     - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
114     backend.
115 root 1.216 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
116 root 1.214
117 root 1.213 4.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
118 root 1.212 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
119     completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
120     so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
121     (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
122     - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
123 root 1.211 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
124    
125 root 1.210 4.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
126     - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
127     illegal.
128 root 1.206 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
129     by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
130 root 1.207 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
131     by Adam Rosenstein).
132 root 1.209 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
133 root 1.208 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
134 root 1.209 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
135 root 1.206
136 root 1.205 4.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
137 root 1.204 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
138     unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
139     the socket type.
140     - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
141    
142 root 1.203 4.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
143 root 1.200 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
144 root 1.203 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
145 root 1.200 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
146     instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
147 root 1.201 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
148 root 1.202 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
149 root 1.198
150 root 1.197 4.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
151 root 1.196 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
152     unless one has been installed already.
153 root 1.197 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
154     (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
155 root 1.193 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
156     - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
157 root 1.191 client would first wait for some data by the server and
158 root 1.197 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
159 root 1.191 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
160 root 1.193 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
161 root 1.191 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
162 root 1.197 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
163 root 1.191 Rosenstein).
164 root 1.193 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
165 root 1.191 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
166     Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
167 root 1.192 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
168     - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
169     instead of simply destroying the stream now.
170 root 1.195 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
171     would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
172 root 1.193 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
173     - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
174     now, more to come, though.
175 root 1.194 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
176 root 1.191
177 root 1.190 4.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
178 root 1.189 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
179     no trace events.
180 root 1.190 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
181     - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
182 root 1.188 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
183 root 1.187 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
184 root 1.190 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
185 root 1.187 Time::HiRes).
186    
187 root 1.186 4.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
188     - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
189     - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
190    
191 root 1.185 4.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
192     - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
193     callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
194     (testcase by Leon Brocard).
195     - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
196    
197 root 1.184 4.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
198     - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
199     (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
200     perls without resource leaks or worse).
201    
202 root 1.183 4.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
203 root 1.177 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
204     the callback.
205 root 1.178 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
206 root 1.180 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
207 root 1.179 eol marker.
208 root 1.180 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
209 root 1.182 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
210 root 1.180 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
211 root 1.177
212 root 1.176 4.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
213 root 1.174 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
214 root 1.175 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
215     working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
216     some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
217     people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
218 root 1.174
219 root 1.173 4.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
220 root 1.171 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
221     which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
222 root 1.172 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
223     why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
224     unusable way.
225     - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
226     AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
227     K. Sharifulin).
228 root 1.170
229 root 1.169 4.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
230 root 1.165 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
231 root 1.164 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
232     be delayed under some circumstances.
233 root 1.167 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
234 root 1.169 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
235     and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
236     - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
237 root 1.168 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
238 root 1.164 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
239    
240 root 1.163 4.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
241 elmex 1.162 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
242 root 1.163 assumption that all data could be written before read
243     (reported by Jim Razmus).
244 elmex 1.162
245 root 1.161 4.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
246 root 1.160 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
247     not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
248     implementation (also affected child watchers).
249 root 1.159 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
250    
251 root 1.158 4.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
252 root 1.159 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
253     on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
254 root 1.158 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
255    
256 root 1.157 4.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
257     - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
258     works.
259    
260 root 1.155 4.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
261 root 1.154 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
262     one watcher was registered for the same fd.
263 root 1.155 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
264     for AnyEvent::Handle.
265 root 1.156 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
266 root 1.153 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
267    
268 root 1.152 4.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
269 elmex 1.149 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
270 root 1.150 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
271     executing the guard block as warnings.
272 root 1.152 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
273 elmex 1.149
274 root 1.148 4.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
275 root 1.146 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
276     contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
277     microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
278 root 1.147 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
279     but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
280     case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
281     and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
282 root 1.145 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
283     when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
284     and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
285     enter an endless loop.
286     - correctly start reading again when the handle became
287     busy again after idling.
288 root 1.146 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
289     (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
290 root 1.145 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
291     (hopefully).
292 root 1.146 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
293     away any time.
294 root 1.145
295 root 1.144 4.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
296     - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
297     anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
298 root 1.143 - allow more options in on_error.
299 root 1.142
300 root 1.141 4.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
301 root 1.135 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
302     reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
303     v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
304 root 1.129 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
305 root 1.130 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
306     also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
307 root 1.134 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
308 root 1.133 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
309     rfc 2782.
310 root 1.137 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
311     - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
312 root 1.138 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
313     being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
314     could die. this has been fixed.
315     - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
316     - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
317 root 1.139 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
318     for resolver class.
319 root 1.140 - update version numbers in all modules.
320 root 1.129
321 root 1.128 4.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
322 root 1.123 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
323     which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
324     for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
325     AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
326 root 1.127 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
327 root 1.124 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
328 root 1.123 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
329     - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
330     a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
331 root 1.126 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
332 root 1.122 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
333     - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
334 root 1.118 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
335     - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
336 root 1.120 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
337 root 1.127 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
338 root 1.121 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
339     select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
340     workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
341     but EV also works around this).
342 root 1.123 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
343 root 1.122 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
344     vs. callback arguments.
345 root 1.127 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
346 root 1.117
347 root 1.116 4.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
348     - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
349     the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
350     didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
351 root 1.114 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
352    
353 root 1.113 4.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
354 root 1.109 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
355 root 1.110 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
356     EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
357 root 1.111 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
358 root 1.106 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
359 root 1.112 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
360 root 1.104 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
361 root 1.114 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
362 root 1.107 sake of perl 5.8.
363 root 1.106 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows

367     die handlers.
368 root 1.104
369 root 1.102 4.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
370 root 1.100 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
371     error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.

388 root 1.90 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
389     - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
390 root 1.94 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
391 root 1.93 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
392 root 1.89 verbatim ip addresses.
393 root 1.88 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
394 root 1.87 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
395 root 1.86 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.

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

424 root 1.70 3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
425 root 1.181 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
426 root 1.70 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
427 root 1.69 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
428     (still subject to change).
429 root 1.63 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
430 root 1.68 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
431 root 1.67 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
432     (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
433 root 1.66 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
434     via Coro::AnyEvent.
435 root 1.63
436 root 1.62 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
437     - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
438 root 1.55 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
439     when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
440 root 1.54 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
441     the different event loops with each other.
442 root 1.56 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
443     but doesn't crash with many watchers.
444 root 1.62 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
445 root 1.56 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
446     kept alive.
447     - document the race between loading of an event module and
448     child processes exiting.
449 root 1.53 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
450 root 1.54 enough, and darn slow).
451 root 1.53 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
452 root 1.60 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
453 root 1.62 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
454 root 1.60 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
455     faster than Event and Glib :).
456 root 1.59 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
457 root 1.62 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
458     to other event loops where possible.
459 root 1.53
460 root 1.50 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
461 root 1.51 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
462     in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
463     for the same fh/poll combo).
464     - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
465 root 1.47 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
466 root 1.49 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
467     - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
468 root 1.52 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
469 root 1.47
470 root 1.46 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
471     - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
472     - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
473     strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
474     - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
475     better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
476     - do not send the signal to the process group
477     (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
478    
479 root 1.45 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
480     - major documentation rework.
481     - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
482     - fix the child watcher example.
483    
484 root 1.43 3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
485 root 1.40 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
486 root 1.43 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
487     don't get fixed anytime soon).
488 root 1.42 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
489     (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
490     such strong limits).
491 root 1.41 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
492     - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
493     unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
494     any restrictions...).
495     - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
496 root 1.40
497 root 1.39 3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
498 root 1.38 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
499     up the Coro implementation in general.
500     - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
501     - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
502 root 1.44 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
503 root 1.38
504 root 1.37 2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008

506    
507 root 1.36 2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
508     - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
509     instead of reporting it to any watchers.
510    
511 root 1.35 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
512 root 1.34 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
513     too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
514 root 1.35 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
515     or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
516     watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
517     (except when Event or EV are installed).
518 root 1.34
519 root 1.33 2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
520 root 1.32 - fix bug in testsuite.

523 root 1.26
524 root 1.31 2.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
525 root 1.27 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
526 root 1.30 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.

528 root 1.27
529 root 1.25 2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
530     - work around a perl bug that results in
531     BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
532     any discernible reason or error message by once
533     again not use'ing strict.
534    
535 root 1.24 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
536     - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
537    
538 root 1.22 2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
539     - child watchers stopped working permanently when
540 root 1.23 all current child watchers were destroyed.
541 root 1.22
542 root 1.21 2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
543     - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
544     true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
545    
546 root 1.20 2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
547 root 1.19 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
548 root 1.20 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
549     - implement signal watchers (experimental)
550     (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
551     so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
552     - implement child watchers (experimental).
553     - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
554     most implementation modules.
555 root 1.14
556 root 1.18 2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
557 root 1.16 - better docs.

560 root 1.16
561 root 1.15 2.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
562 root 1.13 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
563     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
564     - EXPERIMENTAL:
565     new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
566     event model.
567 root 1.12 - improved documentation.
568     - reduced cpu overhead.

580 root 1.7 0.9 Fri Dec 30 02:25:41 CET 2005
581 root 1.6 - fixed errors in the documentation.
582 root 1.7 - going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
583     as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
584     this method.
585     - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
586     and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
587     glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
588     (older) versions of glib.
589     - implemented PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE env variable.
590 root 1.6
591 root 1.5 0.3 Sun Dec 4 10:43:33 CET 2005

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