1 root 1.1 Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2    
3 root 1.269 4.801
4 root 1.268 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
5     in AnyEvent->io.
6 root 1.265 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
7 root 1.266 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
8     and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
9 root 1.267 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
10 root 1.265
11 root 1.264 4.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
12 root 1.261 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
13     uppercase targets.
14 root 1.262 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
15     with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
16     causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
17 root 1.260 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
18     creation, with many options including hostname verification,
19     secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
20     predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
21     and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
22     - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
23 root 1.256 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
24     so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
25     in the common case.
26 root 1.258 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
27     - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
28     on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
29 root 1.263 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
30 root 1.257 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
31     failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
32     from the constructor.
33 root 1.259 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
34     then fall back to JSON.
35 root 1.262 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
36     and because it was documented that way.
37 root 1.256
38 root 1.258 4.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
39     - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
40     object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
41    
42 root 1.255 4.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
43     - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
44     an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
45 root 1.251 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
46     AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
47     to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
48 root 1.254 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
49 root 1.252 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
50     - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
51 root 1.255 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
52 root 1.250
53 root 1.249 4.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
54 root 1.248 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
55 root 1.247 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
56     case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
57     even when the calling env acts stupidly.
58 root 1.248 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
59 root 1.247
60 root 1.245 4.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
61 root 1.242 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
62     and set it on the default resolver.
63 root 1.241 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
64 root 1.242 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
65     when running in tainted mode.
66 root 1.244 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
67 root 1.241
68 root 1.240 4.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
69 root 1.239 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
70    
71 root 1.238 4.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
72 root 1.236 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
73     a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
74 root 1.237 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
75     destructors.
76     - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
77     synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
78     implementation.
79 root 1.238 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
80     for cosmetic reasons.
81 root 1.235
82 root 1.234 4.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
83     - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
84 root 1.232 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
85     - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
86     - sped up Tk timer handling.
87 root 1.233 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
88     to avoid spamming out warning messages.
89 root 1.232 - fix Qt timers without interval.
90 root 1.242 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
91 root 1.232
92 root 1.231 4.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
93 root 1.229 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
94 root 1.230 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
95     - add AnyEvent->now_update.
96 root 1.229
97 root 1.228 4.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
98 root 1.225 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
99 root 1.227 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
100     perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
101 root 1.226 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
102 root 1.225
103 root 1.224 4.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
104 root 1.220 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
105     invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
106     and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
107     event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
108     callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
109 root 1.224 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
110 root 1.223 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
111 root 1.220 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
112 root 1.221 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
113     is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
114 root 1.224 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
115 root 1.220
116 root 1.219 4.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
117 root 1.218 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
118     deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
119     read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
120 root 1.214 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
121 root 1.215 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
122     - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
123     backend.
124 root 1.216 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
125 root 1.214
126 root 1.213 4.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
127 root 1.212 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
128     completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
129     so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
130     (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
131     - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
132 root 1.211 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
133    
134 root 1.210 4.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
135     - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
136     illegal.
137 root 1.206 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
138     by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
139 root 1.207 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
140     by Adam Rosenstein).
141 root 1.209 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
142 root 1.208 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
143 root 1.209 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
144 root 1.206
145 root 1.205 4.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
146 root 1.204 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
147     unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
148     the socket type.
149     - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
150    
151 root 1.203 4.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
152 root 1.200 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
153 root 1.203 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
154 root 1.200 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
155     instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
156 root 1.201 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
157 root 1.202 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
158 root 1.198
159 root 1.197 4.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
160 root 1.196 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
161     unless one has been installed already.
162 root 1.197 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
163     (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
164 root 1.193 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
165     - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
166 root 1.191 client would first wait for some data by the server and
167 root 1.197 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
168 root 1.191 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
169 root 1.193 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
170 root 1.191 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
171 root 1.197 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
172 root 1.191 Rosenstein).
173 root 1.193 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
174 root 1.191 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
175     Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
176 root 1.192 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
177     - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
178     instead of simply destroying the stream now.
179 root 1.195 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
180     would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
181 root 1.193 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
182     - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
183     now, more to come, though.
184 root 1.194 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
185 root 1.191
186 root 1.190 4.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
187 root 1.189 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
188     no trace events.
189 root 1.190 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
190     - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
191 root 1.188 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
192 root 1.187 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
193 root 1.190 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
194 root 1.187 Time::HiRes).
195    
196 root 1.186 4.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
197     - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
198     - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
199    
200 root 1.185 4.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
201     - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
202     callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
203     (testcase by Leon Brocard).
204     - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
205    
206 root 1.184 4.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
207     - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
208     (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
209     perls without resource leaks or worse).
210    
211 root 1.183 4.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
212 root 1.177 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
213     the callback.
214 root 1.178 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
215 root 1.180 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
216 root 1.179 eol marker.
217 root 1.180 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
218 root 1.182 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
219 root 1.180 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
220 root 1.177
221 root 1.176 4.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
222 root 1.174 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
223 root 1.175 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
224     working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
225     some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
226     people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
227 root 1.174
228 root 1.173 4.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
229 root 1.171 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
230     which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
231 root 1.172 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
232     why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
233     unusable way.
234     - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
235     AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
236     K. Sharifulin).
237 root 1.170
238 root 1.169 4.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
239 root 1.165 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
240 root 1.164 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
241     be delayed under some circumstances.
242 root 1.167 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
243 root 1.169 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
244     and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
245     - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
246 root 1.168 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
247 root 1.164 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
248    
249 root 1.163 4.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
250 elmex 1.162 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
251 root 1.163 assumption that all data could be written before read
252     (reported by Jim Razmus).
253 elmex 1.162
254 root 1.161 4.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
255 root 1.160 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
256     not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
257     implementation (also affected child watchers).
258 root 1.159 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
259    
260 root 1.158 4.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
261 root 1.159 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
262     on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
263 root 1.158 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
264    
265 root 1.157 4.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
266     - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
267     works.
268    
269 root 1.155 4.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
270 root 1.154 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
271     one watcher was registered for the same fd.
272 root 1.155 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
273     for AnyEvent::Handle.
274 root 1.156 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
275 root 1.153 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
276    
277 root 1.152 4.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
278 elmex 1.149 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
279 root 1.150 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
280     executing the guard block as warnings.
281 root 1.152 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
282 elmex 1.149
283 root 1.148 4.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
284 root 1.146 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
285     contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
286     microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
287 root 1.147 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
288     but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
289     case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
290     and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
291 root 1.145 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
292     when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
293     and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
294     enter an endless loop.
295     - correctly start reading again when the handle became
296     busy again after idling.
297 root 1.146 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
298     (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
299 root 1.145 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
300     (hopefully).
301 root 1.146 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
302     away any time.
303 root 1.145
304 root 1.144 4.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
305     - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
306     anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
307 root 1.143 - allow more options in on_error.
308 root 1.142
309 root 1.141 4.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
310 root 1.135 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
311     reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
312     v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
313 root 1.129 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
314 root 1.130 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
315     also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
316 root 1.134 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
317 root 1.133 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
318     rfc 2782.
319 root 1.137 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
320     - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
321 root 1.138 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
322     being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
323     could die. this has been fixed.
324     - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
325     - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
326 root 1.139 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
327     for resolver class.
328 root 1.140 - update version numbers in all modules.
329 root 1.129
330 root 1.128 4.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
331 root 1.123 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
332     which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
333     for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
334     AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
335 root 1.127 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
336 root 1.124 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
337 root 1.123 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
338     - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
339     a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
340 root 1.126 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
341 root 1.122 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
342     - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
343 root 1.118 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
344     - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
345 root 1.120 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
346 root 1.127 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
347 root 1.121 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
348     select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
349     workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
350     but EV also works around this).
351 root 1.123 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
352 root 1.122 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
353     vs. callback arguments.
354 root 1.127 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
355 root 1.117
356 root 1.116 4.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
357     - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
358     the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
359     didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
360 root 1.114 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
361    
362 root 1.113 4.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
363 root 1.109 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
364 root 1.110 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only

370 root 1.114 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
371 root 1.107 sake of perl 5.8.
372 root 1.106 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
373     (still a hack...)
374     - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
375 root 1.108 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad

400 root 1.93 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for

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

434 root 1.181 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
435 root 1.70 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
436 root 1.69 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
437     (still subject to change).
438 root 1.63 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
439 root 1.68 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
440 root 1.67 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
441     (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
442 root 1.66 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
443     via Coro::AnyEvent.
444 root 1.63
445 root 1.62 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
446     - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
447 root 1.55 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
448     when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
449 root 1.54 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
450     the different event loops with each other.
451 root 1.56 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
452     but doesn't crash with many watchers.
453 root 1.62 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
454 root 1.56 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
455     kept alive.
456     - document the race between loading of an event module and
457     child processes exiting.
458 root 1.53 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
459 root 1.54 enough, and darn slow).
460 root 1.53 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
461 root 1.60 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
462 root 1.62 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
463 root 1.60 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
464     faster than Event and Glib :).
465 root 1.59 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
466 root 1.62 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
467     to other event loops where possible.
468 root 1.53
469 root 1.50 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
470 root 1.51 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
471     in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
472     for the same fh/poll combo).
473     - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
474 root 1.47 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
475 root 1.49 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
476     - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
477 root 1.52 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
478 root 1.47
479 root 1.46 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
480     - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
481     - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
482     strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
483     - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
484     better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
485     - do not send the signal to the process group
486     (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
487    
488 root 1.45 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008

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

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

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

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

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