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

367 root 1.109 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
368 root 1.110 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
369     EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
370 root 1.111 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
371 root 1.106 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
372 root 1.112 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
373 root 1.104 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
374 root 1.114 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
375 root 1.107 sake of perl 5.8.
376 root 1.106 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
377     (still a hack...)
378     - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
379 root 1.108 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
380     die handlers.
381 root 1.104
382 root 1.102 4.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008

384     error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
385 root 1.96 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.

403 root 1.94 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
404 root 1.93 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
405 root 1.89 verbatim ip addresses.
406 root 1.88 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
407 root 1.87 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
408 root 1.86 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
409 root 1.83 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.

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

437 root 1.70 3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
438 root 1.181 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
439 root 1.70 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
440 root 1.69 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
441     (still subject to change).
442 root 1.63 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
443 root 1.68 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
444 root 1.67 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
445     (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
446 root 1.66 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
447     via Coro::AnyEvent.
448 root 1.63
449 root 1.62 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
450     - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
451 root 1.55 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
452     when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
453 root 1.54 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
454     the different event loops with each other.
455 root 1.56 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
456     but doesn't crash with many watchers.
457 root 1.62 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
458 root 1.56 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
459     kept alive.
460     - document the race between loading of an event module and
461     child processes exiting.
462 root 1.53 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
463 root 1.54 enough, and darn slow).
464 root 1.53 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
465 root 1.60 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
466 root 1.62 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
467 root 1.60 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
468     faster than Event and Glib :).
469 root 1.59 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
470 root 1.62 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
471     to other event loops where possible.
472 root 1.53
473 root 1.50 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
474 root 1.51 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
475     in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
476     for the same fh/poll combo).
477     - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
478 root 1.47 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
479 root 1.49 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
480     - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
481 root 1.52 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
482 root 1.47
483 root 1.46 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
484     - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
485     - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
486     strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
487     - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
488     better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
489     - do not send the signal to the process group
490     (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
491    
492 root 1.45 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
493     - major documentation rework.
494     - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
495     - fix the child watcher example.
496    
497 root 1.43 3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
498 root 1.40 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
499 root 1.43 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
500     don't get fixed anytime soon).
501 root 1.42 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
502     (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
503     such strong limits).
504 root 1.41 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
505     - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
506     unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
507     any restrictions...).
508     - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
509 root 1.40
510 root 1.39 3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
511 root 1.38 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
512     up the Coro implementation in general.
513     - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
514     - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
515 root 1.44 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
516 root 1.38
517 root 1.37 2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008

519    
520 root 1.36 2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
521     - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
522     instead of reporting it to any watchers.
523    
524 root 1.35 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
525 root 1.34 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
526     too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
527 root 1.35 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
528     or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
529     watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
530     (except when Event or EV are installed).
531 root 1.34
532 root 1.33 2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007

545     any discernible reason or error message by once
546     again not use'ing strict.
547    
548 root 1.24 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007

550    
551 root 1.22 2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007

558    
559 root 1.20 2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
560 root 1.19 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
561 root 1.20 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
562     - implement signal watchers (experimental)
563     (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
564     so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
565     - implement child watchers (experimental).
566     - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
567     most implementation modules.
568 root 1.14
569 root 1.18 2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006

573 root 1.16
574 root 1.15 2.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
575 root 1.13 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
576     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
577     - EXPERIMENTAL:
578     new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
579     event model.
580 root 1.12 - improved documentation.

594 root 1.6 - fixed errors in the documentation.
595 root 1.7 - going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
596     as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
597     this method.
598     - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
599     and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
600     glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
601     (older) versions of glib.
