1 root 1.1 Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2    
3 root 1.264 4.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
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 1.263 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
22 root 1.257 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
23     failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
24     from the constructor.
25 root 1.259 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
26     then fall back to JSON.
27 root 1.262 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
28     and because it was documented that way.
29 root 1.256
30 root 1.258 4.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
31     - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
32     object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
33    
34 root 1.255 4.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
35     - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
36     an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
37 root 1.251 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
38     AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
39     to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
40 root 1.254 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
41 root 1.252 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
42     - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
43 root 1.255 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
44 root 1.250
45 root 1.249 4.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
46 root 1.248 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
47 root 1.247 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
48     case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
49     even when the calling env acts stupidly.
50 root 1.248 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
51 root 1.247
52 root 1.245 4.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
53 root 1.242 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
54     and set it on the default resolver.
55 root 1.241 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
56 root 1.242 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
57     when running in tainted mode.
58 root 1.244 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
59 root 1.241
60 root 1.240 4.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
61 root 1.239 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
62    
63 root 1.238 4.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
64 root 1.236 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
65     a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
66 root 1.237 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
67     destructors.
68     - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
69     synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
70     implementation.
71 root 1.238 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
72     for cosmetic reasons.
73 root 1.235
74 root 1.234 4.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
75     - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
76 root 1.232 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
77     - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
78     - sped up Tk timer handling.
79 root 1.233 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
80     to avoid spamming out warning messages.
81 root 1.232 - fix Qt timers without interval.
82 root 1.242 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
83 root 1.232
84 root 1.231 4.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
85 root 1.229 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
86 root 1.230 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
87     - add AnyEvent->now_update.
88 root 1.229
89 root 1.228 4.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
90 root 1.225 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
91 root 1.227 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
92     perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
93 root 1.226 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
94 root 1.225
95 root 1.224 4.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
96 root 1.220 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
97     invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
98     and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
99     event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
100     callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
101 root 1.224 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
102 root 1.223 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
103 root 1.220 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
104 root 1.221 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
105     is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
106 root 1.224 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
107 root 1.220
108 root 1.219 4.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
109 root 1.218 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
110     deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
111     read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
112 root 1.214 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
113 root 1.215 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
114     - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
115     backend.
116 root 1.216 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
117 root 1.214
118 root 1.213 4.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
119 root 1.212 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
120     completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
121     so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
122     (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
123     - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
124 root 1.211 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
125    
126 root 1.210 4.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
127     - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
128     illegal.
129 root 1.206 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
130     by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
131 root 1.207 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
132     by Adam Rosenstein).
133 root 1.209 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
134 root 1.208 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
135 root 1.209 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
136 root 1.206
137 root 1.205 4.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
138 root 1.204 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
139     unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
140     the socket type.
141     - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
142    
143 root 1.203 4.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
144 root 1.200 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
145 root 1.203 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
146 root 1.200 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
147     instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
148 root 1.201 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
149 root 1.202 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
150 root 1.198
151 root 1.197 4.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
152 root 1.196 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
153     unless one has been installed already.
154 root 1.197 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
155     (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
156 root 1.193 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
157     - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
158 root 1.191 client would first wait for some data by the server and
159 root 1.197 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
160 root 1.191 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
161 root 1.193 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
162 root 1.191 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
163 root 1.197 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
164 root 1.191 Rosenstein).
165 root 1.193 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
166 root 1.191 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
167     Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
168 root 1.192 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
169     - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
170     instead of simply destroying the stream now.
171 root 1.195 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
172     would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
173 root 1.193 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
174     - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
175     now, more to come, though.
176 root 1.194 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
177 root 1.191
178 root 1.190 4.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
179 root 1.189 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
180     no trace events.
181 root 1.190 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
182     - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
183 root 1.188 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
184 root 1.187 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
185 root 1.190 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
186 root 1.187 Time::HiRes).
187    
188 root 1.186 4.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
189     - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
190     - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
191    
192 root 1.185 4.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
193     - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
194     callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
195     (testcase by Leon Brocard).
196     - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
197    
198 root 1.184 4.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
199     - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
200     (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
201     perls without resource leaks or worse).
202    
203 root 1.183 4.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
204 root 1.177 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
205     the callback.
206 root 1.178 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
207 root 1.180 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
208 root 1.179 eol marker.
209 root 1.180 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
210 root 1.182 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
211 root 1.180 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
212 root 1.177
213 root 1.176 4.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
214 root 1.174 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
215 root 1.175 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
216     working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
217     some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
218     people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
219 root 1.174
220 root 1.173 4.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
221 root 1.171 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
222     which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
223 root 1.172 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
224     why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
225     unusable way.
226     - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
227     AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
228     K. Sharifulin).
229 root 1.170
230 root 1.169 4.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
231 root 1.165 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
232 root 1.164 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
233     be delayed under some circumstances.
234 root 1.167 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
235 root 1.169 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
236     and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
237     - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
238 root 1.168 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
239 root 1.164 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
240    
241 root 1.163 4.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
242 elmex 1.162 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
243 root 1.163 assumption that all data could be written before read
244     (reported by Jim Razmus).
245 elmex 1.162
246 root 1.161 4.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
247 root 1.160 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
248     not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
249     implementation (also affected child watchers).
250 root 1.159 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
251    
252 root 1.158 4.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
253 root 1.159 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
254     on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
255 root 1.158 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
256    
257 root 1.157 4.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
258     - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
259     works.
260    
261 root 1.155 4.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
262 root 1.154 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
263     one watcher was registered for the same fd.
264 root 1.155 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
265     for AnyEvent::Handle.
266 root 1.156 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
267 root 1.153 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
268    
269 root 1.152 4.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
270 elmex 1.149 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
271 root 1.150 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
272     executing the guard block as warnings.
273 root 1.152 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
274 elmex 1.149
275 root 1.148 4.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
276 root 1.146 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
277     contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
278     microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
279 root 1.147 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
280     but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
281     case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
282     and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
283 root 1.145 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
284     when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
285     and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
286     enter an endless loop.
287     - correctly start reading again when the handle became
288     busy again after idling.
289 root 1.146 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
290     (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
291 root 1.145 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
292     (hopefully).
293 root 1.146 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
294     away any time.
295 root 1.145
296 root 1.144 4.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
297     - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
298     anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
299 root 1.143 - allow more options in on_error.
300 root 1.142
301 root 1.141 4.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
302 root 1.135 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
303     reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
304     v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
305 root 1.129 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
306 root 1.130 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
307     also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
308 root 1.134 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
309 root 1.133 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
310     rfc 2782.
311 root 1.137 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
312     - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
313 root 1.138 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
314     being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
315     could die. this has been fixed.
316     - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
317     - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
318 root 1.139 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
319     for resolver class.
320 root 1.140 - update version numbers in all modules.
321 root 1.129
322 root 1.128 4.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
323 root 1.123 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
324     which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
325     for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
326     AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
327 root 1.127 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
328 root 1.124 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
329 root 1.123 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
330     - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
331     a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
332 root 1.126 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
333 root 1.122 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
334     - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
335 root 1.118 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
336     - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
337 root 1.120 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
338 root 1.127 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
339 root 1.121 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
340     select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
341     workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
342     but EV also works around this).
343 root 1.123 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
344 root 1.122 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
345     vs. callback arguments.
346 root 1.127 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
347 root 1.117
348 root 1.116 4.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
349     - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
350     the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
351     didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
352 root 1.114 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
353    
354 root 1.113 4.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
355 root 1.109 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
356 root 1.110 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
357     EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
358 root 1.111 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
359 root 1.106 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
360 root 1.112 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
361 root 1.104 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6

391 root 1.94 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
392 root 1.93 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
393 root 1.89 verbatim ip addresses.
394 root 1.88 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.

407 root 1.79 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
408     (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
409 root 1.77 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server

425 root 1.70 3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
426 root 1.181 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
427 root 1.70 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
428 root 1.69 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
429     (still subject to change).
430 root 1.63 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
431 root 1.68 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
432 root 1.67 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
433     (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
434 root 1.66 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
435     via Coro::AnyEvent.
436 root 1.63
437 root 1.62 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
438     - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
439 root 1.55 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
440     when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
441 root 1.54 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
442     the different event loops with each other.
443 root 1.56 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
444     but doesn't crash with many watchers.
445 root 1.62 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
446 root 1.56 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
447     kept alive.
448     - document the race between loading of an event module and
449     child processes exiting.
450 root 1.53 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
451 root 1.54 enough, and darn slow).
452 root 1.53 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
453 root 1.60 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
454 root 1.62 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
455 root 1.60 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
456     faster than Event and Glib :).
457 root 1.59 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
458 root 1.62 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
459     to other event loops where possible.
460 root 1.53
461 root 1.50 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
462 root 1.51 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
463     in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
464     for the same fh/poll combo).
465     - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
466 root 1.47 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
467 root 1.49 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
468     - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
469 root 1.52 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
470 root 1.47
471 root 1.46 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
472     - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
473     - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
474     strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
475     - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
476     better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
477     - do not send the signal to the process group
478     (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
479    
480 root 1.45 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008

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

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

534     again not use'ing strict.
535    
536 root 1.24 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007

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

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

564     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
565     - EXPERIMENTAL:
566     new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
567     event model.

583 root 1.7 - going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
584     as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
585     this method.
586     - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
587     and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
588     glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
589     (older) versions of glib.
