1 root 1.1 Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2    
3 root 1.265 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
4     PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS.
5    
6 root 1.264 4.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
7 root 1.261 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
8     uppercase targets.
9 root 1.262 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
10     with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
11     causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
12 root 1.260 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
13     creation, with many options including hostname verification,
14     secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
15     predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
16     and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
17     - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
18 root 1.256 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
19     so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
20     in the common case.
21 root 1.258 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
22     - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
23     on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
24 root 1.263 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
25 root 1.257 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
26     failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
27     from the constructor.
28 root 1.259 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
29     then fall back to JSON.
30 root 1.262 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
31     and because it was documented that way.
32 root 1.256
33 root 1.258 4.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
34     - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
35     object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
36    
37 root 1.255 4.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
38     - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
39     an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
40 root 1.251 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
41     AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
42     to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
43 root 1.254 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
44 root 1.252 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
45     - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
46 root 1.255 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
47 root 1.250
48 root 1.249 4.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
49 root 1.248 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
50 root 1.247 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
51     case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
52     even when the calling env acts stupidly.
53 root 1.248 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
54 root 1.247
55 root 1.245 4.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
56 root 1.242 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
57     and set it on the default resolver.
58 root 1.241 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
59 root 1.242 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
60     when running in tainted mode.
61 root 1.244 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
62 root 1.241
63 root 1.240 4.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
64 root 1.239 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
65    
66 root 1.238 4.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
67 root 1.236 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
68     a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
69 root 1.237 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
70     destructors.
71     - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
72     synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
73     implementation.
74 root 1.238 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
75     for cosmetic reasons.
76 root 1.235
77 root 1.234 4.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
78     - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
79 root 1.232 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
80     - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
81     - sped up Tk timer handling.
82 root 1.233 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
83     to avoid spamming out warning messages.
84 root 1.232 - fix Qt timers without interval.
85 root 1.242 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
86 root 1.232
87 root 1.231 4.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
88 root 1.229 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
89 root 1.230 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
90     - add AnyEvent->now_update.
91 root 1.229
92 root 1.228 4.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
93 root 1.225 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
94 root 1.227 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
95     perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
96 root 1.226 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
97 root 1.225
98 root 1.224 4.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
99 root 1.220 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
100     invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
101     and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
102     event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
103     callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
104 root 1.224 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
105 root 1.223 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
106 root 1.220 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
107 root 1.221 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
108     is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
109 root 1.224 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
110 root 1.220
111 root 1.219 4.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
112 root 1.218 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
113     deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
114     read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
115 root 1.214 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
116 root 1.215 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
117     - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
118     backend.
119 root 1.216 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
120 root 1.214
121 root 1.213 4.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
122 root 1.212 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
123     completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
124     so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
125     (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
126     - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
127 root 1.211 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
128    
129 root 1.210 4.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
130     - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
131     illegal.
132 root 1.206 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
133     by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
134 root 1.207 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
135     by Adam Rosenstein).
136 root 1.209 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
137 root 1.208 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
138 root 1.209 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
139 root 1.206
140 root 1.205 4.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
141 root 1.204 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
142     unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
143     the socket type.
144     - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
145    
146 root 1.203 4.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
147 root 1.200 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
148 root 1.203 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
149 root 1.200 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
150     instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
151 root 1.201 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
152 root 1.202 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
153 root 1.198
154 root 1.197 4.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
155 root 1.196 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
156     unless one has been installed already.
157 root 1.197 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
158     (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
159 root 1.193 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
160     - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
161 root 1.191 client would first wait for some data by the server and
162 root 1.197 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
163 root 1.191 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
164 root 1.193 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
165 root 1.191 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
166 root 1.197 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
167 root 1.191 Rosenstein).
168 root 1.193 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
169 root 1.191 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
170     Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
171 root 1.192 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
172     - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
173     instead of simply destroying the stream now.
174 root 1.195 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
175     would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
176 root 1.193 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
177     - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
178     now, more to come, though.
179 root 1.194 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
180 root 1.191
181 root 1.190 4.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
182 root 1.189 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
183     no trace events.
184 root 1.190 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
185     - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
186 root 1.188 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
187 root 1.187 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
188 root 1.190 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
189 root 1.187 Time::HiRes).
190    
191 root 1.186 4.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
192     - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
193     - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
194    
195 root 1.185 4.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
196     - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
197     callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
198     (testcase by Leon Brocard).
199     - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
200    
201 root 1.184 4.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
202     - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
203     (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
204     perls without resource leaks or worse).
205    
206 root 1.183 4.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
207 root 1.177 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
208     the callback.
209 root 1.178 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
210 root 1.180 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
211 root 1.179 eol marker.
212 root 1.180 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
213 root 1.182 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
214 root 1.180 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
215 root 1.177
216 root 1.176 4.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
217 root 1.174 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
218 root 1.175 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
219     working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
220     some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
221     people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
222 root 1.174
223 root 1.173 4.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
224 root 1.171 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
225     which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
226 root 1.172 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
227     why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
228     unusable way.
229     - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
230     AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
231     K. Sharifulin).
232 root 1.170
233 root 1.169 4.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
234 root 1.165 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
235 root 1.164 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
236     be delayed under some circumstances.
237 root 1.167 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
238 root 1.169 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
239     and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
240     - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
241 root 1.168 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
242 root 1.164 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
243    
244 root 1.163 4.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
245 elmex 1.162 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
246 root 1.163 assumption that all data could be written before read
247     (reported by Jim Razmus).
248 elmex 1.162
249 root 1.161 4.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
250 root 1.160 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
251     not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
252     implementation (also affected child watchers).
253 root 1.159 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
254    
255 root 1.158 4.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
256 root 1.159 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
257     on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
258 root 1.158 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
259    
260 root 1.157 4.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
261     - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
262     works.
263    
264 root 1.155 4.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
265 root 1.154 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
266     one watcher was registered for the same fd.
267 root 1.155 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
268     for AnyEvent::Handle.
269 root 1.156 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
270 root 1.153 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
271    
272 root 1.152 4.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
273 elmex 1.149 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
274 root 1.150 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
275     executing the guard block as warnings.
276 root 1.152 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
277 elmex 1.149
278 root 1.148 4.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
279 root 1.146 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
280     contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
281     microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
282 root 1.147 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
283     but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
284     case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
285     and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
286 root 1.145 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
287     when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
288     and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
289     enter an endless loop.
290     - correctly start reading again when the handle became
291     busy again after idling.
292 root 1.146 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
293     (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
294 root 1.145 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
295     (hopefully).
296 root 1.146 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
297     away any time.
298 root 1.145
299 root 1.144 4.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
300     - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
301     anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
302 root 1.143 - allow more options in on_error.
303 root 1.142
304 root 1.141 4.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
305 root 1.135 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
306     reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
307     v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
308 root 1.129 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
309 root 1.130 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
310     also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
311 root 1.134 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
312 root 1.133 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
313     rfc 2782.
314 root 1.137 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
315     - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
316 root 1.138 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
317     being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
318     could die. this has been fixed.
319     - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
320     - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
321 root 1.139 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
322     for resolver class.
323 root 1.140 - update version numbers in all modules.
324 root 1.129
325 root 1.128 4.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
326 root 1.123 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
327     which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
328     for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
329     AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
330 root 1.127 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
331 root 1.124 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
332 root 1.123 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
333     - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
334     a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
335 root 1.126 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
336 root 1.122 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
337     - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
338 root 1.118 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
339     - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
340 root 1.120 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
341 root 1.127 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
342 root 1.121 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
343     select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
344     workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
345     but EV also works around this).
346 root 1.123 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
347 root 1.122 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
348     vs. callback arguments.
349 root 1.127 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
350 root 1.117
351 root 1.116 4.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
352     - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
353     the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
354     didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
355 root 1.114 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
356    
357 root 1.113 4.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
358 root 1.109 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
359 root 1.110 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
360     EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
361 root 1.111 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
362 root 1.106 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.

368     (still a hack...)
369     - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
370 root 1.108 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad

394 root 1.94 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
395 root 1.93 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for

410 root 1.79 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
411     (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).

429 root 1.181 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
430 root 1.70 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
431 root 1.69 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
432     (still subject to change).
433 root 1.63 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
434 root 1.68 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
435 root 1.67 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
436     (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
437 root 1.66 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
438     via Coro::AnyEvent.
439 root 1.63
440 root 1.62 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
441     - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
442 root 1.55 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive

444 root 1.54 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
445     the different event loops with each other.
446 root 1.56 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
447     but doesn't crash with many watchers.
448 root 1.62 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
449 root 1.56 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
450     kept alive.
451     - document the race between loading of an event module and
452     child processes exiting.
453 root 1.53 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
454 root 1.54 enough, and darn slow).
455 root 1.53 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
456 root 1.60 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
457 root 1.62 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
458 root 1.60 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
459     faster than Event and Glib :).
460 root 1.59 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
461 root 1.62 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
462     to other event loops where possible.
463 root 1.53
464 root 1.50 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
465 root 1.51 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
466     in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
467     for the same fh/poll combo).
468     - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
469 root 1.47 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
470 root 1.49 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
471     - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
472 root 1.52 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
473 root 1.47
474 root 1.46 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
475     - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
476     - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
477     strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
478     - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
479     better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
480     - do not send the signal to the process group
481     (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
482    
483 root 1.45 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008

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

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

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

587     as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
588     this method.
589     - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
590     and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
591     glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
592     (older) versions of glib.
