# User Rev Content
1 root 1.1 Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2    
3 root 1.265 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
4 root 1.266 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
5     and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
6 root 1.265
7 root 1.264 4.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
8 root 1.261 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
9     uppercase targets.
10 root 1.262 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
11     with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
12     causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
13 root 1.260 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
14     creation, with many options including hostname verification,
15     secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
16     predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
17     and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
18     - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
19 root 1.256 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
20     so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
21     in the common case.
22 root 1.258 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
23     - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
24     on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
25 root 1.263 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
26 root 1.257 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
27     failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
28     from the constructor.
29 root 1.259 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
30     then fall back to JSON.
31 root 1.262 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
32     and because it was documented that way.
33 root 1.256
34 root 1.258 4.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
35     - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
36     object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
37    
38 root 1.255 4.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
39     - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
40     an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
41 root 1.251 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
42     AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
43     to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
44 root 1.254 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
45 root 1.252 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
46     - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
47 root 1.255 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
48 root 1.250
49 root 1.249 4.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
50 root 1.248 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
51 root 1.247 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
52     case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
53     even when the calling env acts stupidly.
54 root 1.248 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
55 root 1.247
56 root 1.245 4.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
57 root 1.242 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
58     and set it on the default resolver.
59 root 1.241 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
60 root 1.242 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
61     when running in tainted mode.
62 root 1.244 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
63 root 1.241
64 root 1.240 4.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
65 root 1.239 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
66    
67 root 1.238 4.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
68 root 1.236 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
69     a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
70 root 1.237 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
71     destructors.
72     - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
73     synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
74     implementation.
75 root 1.238 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
76     for cosmetic reasons.
77 root 1.235
78 root 1.234 4.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
79     - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
80 root 1.232 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
81     - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
82     - sped up Tk timer handling.
83 root 1.233 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
84     to avoid spamming out warning messages.
85 root 1.232 - fix Qt timers without interval.
86 root 1.242 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
87 root 1.232
88 root 1.231 4.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
89 root 1.229 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
90 root 1.230 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
91     - add AnyEvent->now_update.
92 root 1.229
93 root 1.228 4.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
94 root 1.225 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
95 root 1.227 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
96     perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
97 root 1.226 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
98 root 1.225
99 root 1.224 4.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
100 root 1.220 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
101     invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
102     and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
103     event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
104     callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
105 root 1.224 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
106 root 1.223 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
107 root 1.220 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
108 root 1.221 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
109     is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
110 root 1.224 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
111 root 1.220
112 root 1.219 4.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
113 root 1.218 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
114     deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
115     read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
116 root 1.214 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
117 root 1.215 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
118     - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
119     backend.
120 root 1.216 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
121 root 1.214
122 root 1.213 4.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
123 root 1.212 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
124     completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
125     so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
126     (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
127     - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
128 root 1.211 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
129    
130 root 1.210 4.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
131     - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
132     illegal.
133 root 1.206 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
134     by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
135 root 1.207 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
136     by Adam Rosenstein).
137 root 1.209 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
138 root 1.208 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
139 root 1.209 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
140 root 1.206
141 root 1.205 4.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
142 root 1.204 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
143     unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
144     the socket type.
145     - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
146    
147 root 1.203 4.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
148 root 1.200 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
149 root 1.203 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
150 root 1.200 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
151     instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
152 root 1.201 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
153 root 1.202 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
154 root 1.198
155 root 1.197 4.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
156 root 1.196 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
157     unless one has been installed already.
158 root 1.197 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
159     (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
160 root 1.193 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
161     - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
162 root 1.191 client would first wait for some data by the server and
163 root 1.197 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
164 root 1.191 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
165 root 1.193 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
166 root 1.191 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
167 root 1.197 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
168 root 1.191 Rosenstein).
169 root 1.193 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
170 root 1.191 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
171     Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
172 root 1.192 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
173     - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
174     instead of simply destroying the stream now.
175 root 1.195 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
176     would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
177 root 1.193 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
178     - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
179     now, more to come, though.
180 root 1.194 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
181 root 1.191
182 root 1.190 4.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
183 root 1.189 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
184     no trace events.
185 root 1.190 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
186     - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
187 root 1.188 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
188 root 1.187 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
189 root 1.190 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
190 root 1.187 Time::HiRes).
191    
192 root 1.186 4.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
193     - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
194     - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
195    
196 root 1.185 4.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
197     - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
198     callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
199     (testcase by Leon Brocard).
200     - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
201    
202 root 1.184 4.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
203     - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
204     (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
205     perls without resource leaks or worse).
206    
207 root 1.183 4.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
208 root 1.177 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
209     the callback.
210 root 1.178 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
211 root 1.180 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
212 root 1.179 eol marker.
213 root 1.180 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
214 root 1.182 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
215 root 1.180 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
216 root 1.177
217 root 1.176 4.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
218 root 1.174 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
219 root 1.175 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
220     working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
221     some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
222     people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
223 root 1.174
224 root 1.173 4.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
225 root 1.171 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
226     which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
227 root 1.172 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
228     why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
229     unusable way.
230     - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
231     AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
232     K. Sharifulin).
233 root 1.170
234 root 1.169 4.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
235 root 1.165 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
236 root 1.164 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
237     be delayed under some circumstances.
238 root 1.167 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
239 root 1.169 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
240     and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
241     - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
242 root 1.168 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
243 root 1.164 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
244    
245 root 1.163 4.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
246 elmex 1.162 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
247 root 1.163 assumption that all data could be written before read
248     (reported by Jim Razmus).
249 elmex 1.162
250 root 1.161 4.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
251 root 1.160 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
252     not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
253     implementation (also affected child watchers).
254 root 1.159 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
255    
256 root 1.158 4.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
257 root 1.159 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
258     on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
259 root 1.158 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
260    
261 root 1.157 4.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
262     - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
263     works.
264    
265 root 1.155 4.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
266 root 1.154 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
267     one watcher was registered for the same fd.
268 root 1.155 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
269     for AnyEvent::Handle.
270 root 1.156 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
271 root 1.153 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
272    
273 root 1.152 4.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
274 elmex 1.149 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
275 root 1.150 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
276     executing the guard block as warnings.
277 root 1.152 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
278 elmex 1.149
279 root 1.148 4.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
280 root 1.146 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
281     contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
282     microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
283 root 1.147 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
284     but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
285     case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
286     and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
287 root 1.145 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
288     when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
289     and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
290     enter an endless loop.
291     - correctly start reading again when the handle became
292     busy again after idling.
293 root 1.146 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
294     (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
295 root 1.145 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
296     (hopefully).
297 root 1.146 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
298     away any time.
299 root 1.145
300 root 1.144 4.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
301     - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
302     anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
303 root 1.143 - allow more options in on_error.
304 root 1.142
305 root 1.141 4.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
306 root 1.135 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
307     reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
308     v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
309 root 1.129 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
310 root 1.130 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
311     also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
312 root 1.134 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
313 root 1.133 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
314     rfc 2782.
315 root 1.137 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
316     - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
317 root 1.138 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
318     being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
319     could die. this has been fixed.
320     - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
321     - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
322 root 1.139 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
323     for resolver class.
324 root 1.140 - update version numbers in all modules.
325 root 1.129
326 root 1.128 4.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
327 root 1.123 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
328     which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
329     for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
330     AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
331 root 1.127 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
332 root 1.124 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
333 root 1.123 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
334     - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
335     a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
336 root 1.126 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
337 root 1.122 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
338     - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
339 root 1.118 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
340     - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
341 root 1.120 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
342 root 1.127 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
343 root 1.121 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
344     select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
345     workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
346     but EV also works around this).
347 root 1.123 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
348 root 1.122 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
349     vs. callback arguments.
350 root 1.127 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
351 root 1.117
352 root 1.116 4.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
353     - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
354     the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
355     didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
356 root 1.114 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
357    
358 root 1.113 4.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
359 root 1.109 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
360 root 1.110 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
361     EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.

369     (still a hack...)
370     - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
371 root 1.108 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
372     die handlers.
373 root 1.104

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

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

430 root 1.181 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
431 root 1.70 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
432 root 1.69 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
433     (still subject to change).
434 root 1.63 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
435 root 1.68 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
436 root 1.67 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
437     (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
438 root 1.66 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
439     via Coro::AnyEvent.
440 root 1.63
441 root 1.62 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
442     - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
443 root 1.55 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
444     when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
445 root 1.54 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
446     the different event loops with each other.
447 root 1.56 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
448     but doesn't crash with many watchers.
449 root 1.62 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
450 root 1.56 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
451     kept alive.
452     - document the race between loading of an event module and
453     child processes exiting.
454 root 1.53 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
455 root 1.54 enough, and darn slow).
456 root 1.53 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
457 root 1.60 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
458 root 1.62 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
459 root 1.60 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
460     faster than Event and Glib :).
461 root 1.59 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
462 root 1.62 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
463     to other event loops where possible.
464 root 1.53
465 root 1.50 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
466 root 1.51 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
467     in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
468     for the same fh/poll combo).
469     - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
470 root 1.47 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
471 root 1.49 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
472     - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
473 root 1.52 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
474 root 1.47
475 root 1.46 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
476     - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
477     - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
478     strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
479     - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
480     better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
481     - do not send the signal to the process group
482     (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
483    
484 root 1.45 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008

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

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

539    
540 root 1.24 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007

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

568     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.

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