1 root 1.1 Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2    
3 root 1.279 - ignore possible spurious wake-ups.
4    
5 root 1.278 4.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
6 root 1.277 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
7     callbacks.
8 root 1.275 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
9     in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
10     module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
11 root 1.276 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
12     Event::Lib.
13     - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
14     to rarely fail.
15 root 1.275
16 root 1.274 4.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
17 root 1.272 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
18     (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
19 root 1.268 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
20     in AnyEvent->io.
21 root 1.265 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
22 root 1.266 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
23     and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
24 root 1.267 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
25 root 1.273 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
26 root 1.270 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
27     portable_socketpair.
28 root 1.271 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
29     YMMV.
30 root 1.265
31 root 1.264 4.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
32 root 1.261 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
33     uppercase targets.
34 root 1.262 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
35     with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
36     causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
37 root 1.260 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
38     creation, with many options including hostname verification,
39     secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
40     predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
41     and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
42     - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
43 root 1.256 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
44     so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
45     in the common case.
46 root 1.258 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
47     - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
48     on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
49 root 1.263 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
50 root 1.257 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
51     failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
52     from the constructor.
53 root 1.259 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
54     then fall back to JSON.
55 root 1.262 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
56     and because it was documented that way.
57 root 1.256
58 root 1.258 4.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
59     - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
60     object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
61    
62 root 1.255 4.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
63     - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
64     an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
65 root 1.251 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
66     AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
67     to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
68 root 1.254 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
69 root 1.252 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
70     - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.

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

349 root 1.129
350 root 1.128 4.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
351 root 1.123 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
352     which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
353     for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
354     AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
355 root 1.127 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
356 root 1.124 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
357 root 1.123 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
358     - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
359     a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
360 root 1.126 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
361 root 1.122 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
362     - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
363 root 1.118 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
364     - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
365 root 1.120 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
366 root 1.127 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
367 root 1.121 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
368     select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
369     workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
370     but EV also works around this).
371 root 1.123 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
372 root 1.122 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle

375 root 1.117
376 root 1.116 4.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
377     - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
378     the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
379     didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
380 root 1.114 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
381    
382 root 1.113 4.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
383 root 1.109 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
384 root 1.110 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
385     EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
386 root 1.111 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
387 root 1.106 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
388 root 1.112 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
389 root 1.104 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
390 root 1.114 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
391 root 1.107 sake of perl 5.8.
392 root 1.106 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
393     (still a hack...)
394     - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
395 root 1.108 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
396     die handlers.
397 root 1.104
398 root 1.102 4.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008

400     error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
401 root 1.96 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
402 root 1.97 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
403 root 1.101 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
404 root 1.100 - updated documentation.

406 root 1.98 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
407     in AnyEvent::Handle.
408 root 1.101 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
409     - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.

417 root 1.90 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
418     - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
419 root 1.94 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
420 root 1.93 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
421 root 1.89 verbatim ip addresses.
422 root 1.88 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
423 root 1.87 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
424 root 1.86 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
425 root 1.83 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
426 root 1.84 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to

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

433 root 1.81
434 root 1.80 3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
435 root 1.79 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
436     (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
437 root 1.77 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
438     helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
439     - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
440     - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.

445 root 1.72 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
446 root 1.78 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
447     cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
448     and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
449 root 1.72
450 root 1.71 3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008

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

535    
536 root 1.36 2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
537     - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
538     instead of reporting it to any watchers.
539    
540 root 1.35 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
541 root 1.34 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
542     too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
543 root 1.35 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
544     or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
545     watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
546     (except when Event or EV are installed).
547 root 1.34
548 root 1.33 2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
549 root 1.32 - fix bug in testsuite.

557 root 1.27
558 root 1.25 2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007

561     any discernible reason or error message by once
562     again not use'ing strict.
563    
564 root 1.24 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007

566    
567 root 1.22 2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
568     - child watchers stopped working permanently when

570 root 1.22
571 root 1.21 2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006

573     true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
574    
575 root 1.20 2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
576 root 1.19 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
577 root 1.20 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
578     - implement signal watchers (experimental)
579     (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
580     so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
581     - implement child watchers (experimental).
582     - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
583     most implementation modules.
584 root 1.14
585 root 1.18 2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
586 root 1.16 - better docs.

592     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
593     - EXPERIMENTAL:
594     new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
595     event model.
596 root 1.12 - improved documentation.

610 root 1.6 - fixed errors in the documentation.
611 root 1.7 - going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
612     as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
613     this method.
614     - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
615     and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
616     glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
617     (older) versions of glib.
