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

310 root 1.142
311 root 1.141 4.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
312 root 1.135 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
313     reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
314     v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
315 root 1.129 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
316 root 1.130 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
317     also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
318 root 1.134 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
319 root 1.133 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
320     rfc 2782.
321 root 1.137 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
322     - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
323 root 1.138 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
324     being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
325     could die. this has been fixed.
326     - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
327     - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
328 root 1.139 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
329     for resolver class.
330 root 1.140 - update version numbers in all modules.
331 root 1.129
332 root 1.128 4.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
333 root 1.123 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
334     which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
335     for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
336     AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
337 root 1.127 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
338 root 1.124 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
339 root 1.123 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
340     - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
341     a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
342 root 1.126 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
343 root 1.122 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
344     - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
345 root 1.118 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
346     - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
347 root 1.120 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
348 root 1.127 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
349 root 1.121 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
350     select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
351     workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
352     but EV also works around this).
353 root 1.123 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
354 root 1.122 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
355     vs. callback arguments.
356 root 1.127 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
357 root 1.117
358 root 1.116 4.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
359     - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
360     the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
361     didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
362 root 1.114 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
363

365 root 1.109 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
366 root 1.110 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
367     EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
368 root 1.111 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
369 root 1.106 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
370 root 1.112 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
371 root 1.104 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
372 root 1.114 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
373 root 1.107 sake of perl 5.8.
374 root 1.106 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
375     (still a hack...)
376     - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
377 root 1.108 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
378     die handlers.
379 root 1.104
380 root 1.102 4.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
381 root 1.100 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
382     error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
383 root 1.96 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
384 root 1.97 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.

396 root 1.88 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
397     - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
398 root 1.93 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
399 root 1.90 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
400     - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
401 root 1.94 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
402 root 1.93 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
403 root 1.89 verbatim ip addresses.
404 root 1.88 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
405 root 1.87 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
406 root 1.86 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
407 root 1.83 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
408 root 1.84 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to

412 root 1.181 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
413 root 1.82 override.

415 root 1.81
416 root 1.80 3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
417 root 1.79 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
418     (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
419 root 1.77 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
420     helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
421     - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
422     - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.

424 elmex 1.74 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
425     first and second argument.
426 root 1.77 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
427 root 1.72 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
428 root 1.78 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
429     cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
430     and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
431 root 1.72
432 root 1.71 3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
433     - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
434    
435 root 1.70 3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
436 root 1.181 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
437 root 1.70 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
438 root 1.69 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
439     (still subject to change).
440 root 1.63 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
441 root 1.68 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
442 root 1.67 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
443     (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
444 root 1.66 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
445     via Coro::AnyEvent.
446 root 1.63
447 root 1.62 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
448     - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
449 root 1.55 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
450     when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
451 root 1.54 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
452     the different event loops with each other.
453 root 1.56 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
454     but doesn't crash with many watchers.
455 root 1.62 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
456 root 1.56 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
457     kept alive.
458     - document the race between loading of an event module and
459     child processes exiting.
460 root 1.53 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
461 root 1.54 enough, and darn slow).
462 root 1.53 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
463 root 1.60 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
464 root 1.62 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
465 root 1.60 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
466     faster than Event and Glib :).
467 root 1.59 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
468 root 1.62 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
469     to other event loops where possible.
470 root 1.53
471 root 1.50 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
472 root 1.51 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
473     in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
474     for the same fh/poll combo).
475     - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
476 root 1.47 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
477 root 1.49 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
478     - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
479 root 1.52 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
480 root 1.47
481 root 1.46 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
482     - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
483     - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
484     strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
485     - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
486     better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
487     - do not send the signal to the process group
488     (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
489    
490 root 1.45 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
491     - major documentation rework.
492     - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
493     - fix the child watcher example.
494    
495 root 1.43 3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
496 root 1.40 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
497 root 1.43 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
498     don't get fixed anytime soon).
499 root 1.42 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
500     (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
501     such strong limits).
502 root 1.41 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
503     - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
504     unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
505     any restrictions...).
506     - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
507 root 1.40
508 root 1.39 3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
509 root 1.38 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
510     up the Coro implementation in general.
511     - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
512     - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
513 root 1.44 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
514 root 1.38
515 root 1.37 2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
516     - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
517    
518 root 1.36 2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
519     - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
520     instead of reporting it to any watchers.
521    
522 root 1.35 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
523 root 1.34 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
524     too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
525 root 1.35 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
526     or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
527     watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
528     (except when Event or EV are installed).
529 root 1.34
530 root 1.33 2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
531 root 1.32 - fix bug in testsuite.
532     - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
533     - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
534 root 1.26
535 root 1.31 2.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
536 root 1.27 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
537 root 1.30 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
538 root 1.29 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
539 root 1.27
540 root 1.25 2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
541     - work around a perl bug that results in
542     BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
543     any discernible reason or error message by once
544     again not use'ing strict.
545    
546 root 1.24 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
547     - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
548    
549 root 1.22 2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
550     - child watchers stopped working permanently when
551 root 1.23 all current child watchers were destroyed.
552 root 1.22
553 root 1.21 2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
554     - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
555     true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
556    
557 root 1.20 2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
558 root 1.19 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
559 root 1.20 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
560     - implement signal watchers (experimental)
561     (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
562     so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
563     - implement child watchers (experimental).
564     - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
565     most implementation modules.
566 root 1.14
567 root 1.18 2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
568 root 1.16 - better docs.

570 root 1.17 - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
571 root 1.16
572 root 1.15 2.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
573 root 1.13 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
574     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
575     - EXPERIMENTAL:
576     new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
577     event model.
578 root 1.12 - improved documentation.
579     - reduced cpu overhead.
580    
581 root 1.11 1.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006

591 root 1.7 0.9 Fri Dec 30 02:25:41 CET 2005
592 root 1.6 - fixed errors in the documentation.
593 root 1.7 - going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
594     as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
595     this method.
596     - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
597     and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
598     glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
599     (older) versions of glib.
600     - implemented PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE env variable.
601 root 1.6
602 root 1.5 0.3 Sun Dec 4 10:43:33 CET 2005
603     - no changes to the code.

607    
608 root 1.3 0.2 Thu Dec 1 22:18:49 CET 2005
609 root 1.44 - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
610 root 1.4 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
611     - don't die when some modules are not available.
612     - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works.
613 root 1.3
614 root 1.2 0.1 Thu Dec 1 19:44:57 CET 2005
615     - spiced up and cleaned up for release.
