8 root 1.408 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
9     actually used in tcp_server.
10 root 1.410 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
11     missing.
12 root 1.409 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
13 root 1.408 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
14     resulting in more informative error messages.
15 root 1.411 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
16 root 1.404 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
17 root 1.413 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
18     and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
19     of AnyEvent::TLS.
20 root 1.409 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
21     requested by Ron Isaacson.
22     - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
23 root 1.405 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
24 root 1.412 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
25 root 1.409 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
26     undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
27 root 1.404
28 root 1.402 5.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
29 root 1.401 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
30    
31 root 1.400 5.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
32 root 1.398 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
33     when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
34     (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
35 root 1.397 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
36     clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
37 root 1.395 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
38 root 1.399 - better/more condvar examples.
39 root 1.395
40 root 1.394 5.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
41 root 1.393 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration

43    
44 root 1.392 5.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
45 root 1.389 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
46     returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
47     by Bas Denissen).

49 root 1.390 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
50     EV and Perl backends.
51     - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
52     backends.
53     - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
54     never documented nor universally supported).
55     - some more memory µ-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
56     code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
57 root 1.389
58 root 1.386 5.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
59 root 1.387 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
60     5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
61     so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
62 root 1.386
63 root 1.384 5.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
64 root 1.383 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
65     a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
66     ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
67 root 1.385 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
68 root 1.376 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
69 root 1.378 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
70     by lucky accident on win32.
71 root 1.377 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
72 root 1.379 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
73     did not fall back to built-in time properly.
74 root 1.381 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
75     - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
76     detection and eval.
77     - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
78 root 1.382 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
79 root 1.388 (same algorithm as EV).
80 root 1.385 - update unicode idna mapping table.
81 root 1.376
82 root 1.375 5.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
83     - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
84     you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
85     just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
86 root 1.374 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
87    
88 root 1.373 5.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
89 root 1.372 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
90 root 1.373 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
91     idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
92 root 1.366 - provide $AE::VERSION.
93 root 1.367 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
94 root 1.366
95 root 1.365 5.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
96 root 1.358 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
97     diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
98 root 1.359 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
99     when passing scalar data to extensions).
100 root 1.360 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
101 root 1.361 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
102 root 1.362 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
103     (John Beppu).
104 root 1.364 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
105 root 1.363 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
106     we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
107     fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
108 root 1.358
109 root 1.357 5.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
110 root 1.356 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
111 root 1.355 (spotted by David Friedland).
112 root 1.356 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
113 root 1.355 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
114     unless you rip out everything but the core).
115 root 1.357 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
116     uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
117 root 1.355
118 root 1.354 5.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
119     - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
120     (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
121 root 1.353 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
122     newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
123     sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
124    
125 root 1.352 5.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
126 root 1.350 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
127     (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
128 root 1.351 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
129     (analysed by elmex).
130 root 1.350
131 root 1.349 5.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
132 root 1.347 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
133     and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
134     package names (the facility was mostly abused).
135 root 1.349 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
136     AnyEvent::Handle.
137 root 1.345 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
138 root 1.346 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
139 root 1.349 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
140     support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
141 root 1.345
142 root 1.344 5.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
143 root 1.343 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
144     use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
145     by Michael S. Fischer).
146     - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
147 root 1.342 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
148     with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
149     - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
150     by default.

154 root 1.342
155 root 1.339 5.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
156 root 1.338 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
157     using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
158 root 1.339 - port to broken win32 perls.
159 root 1.338
160 root 1.337 5.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
161     - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
162     kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
163     sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
164     the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
165     OSes as well).
166    
167 root 1.336 5.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
168 elmex 1.335 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
169 root 1.336 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
170     to reduce dependency on JSON.
171 elmex 1.335
172 root 1.334 5.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
173 root 1.333 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
174     one (was broken since 4.91).
175     - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
176     when retrying a tcp_connect.
177     - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
178 elmex 1.332 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
179    
180 root 1.330 5.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
181     - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
182    
183 root 1.329 5.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
184     - officially introduce and document the AE API.
185 root 1.323 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
186     in AnyEvent::Handle.
187 root 1.324 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
188     settings.
189 root 1.326 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
190     runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
191     exporting the probe function).
192 root 1.328 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
193     code to work around it's watcher limits.
194     - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
195     - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
196 root 1.327 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
197 root 1.329 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
198 root 1.325 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
199 root 1.322
200 root 1.321 4.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
201 root 1.319 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
202     already contains some TLS handshake.
203 root 1.318 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
204     memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
205 root 1.320 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
206     the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
207 root 1.321 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
208 root 1.317
209 root 1.316 4.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
210 root 1.308 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
211     a negative value, so avoid that.
212 root 1.315 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
213     after the condition is already signalled.
214 root 1.314 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
215     data.
216 root 1.305 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
217     signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
218 root 1.308 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
219     mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
220     any issues).
221 root 1.310 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
222 root 1.309 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
223     by name (not name or number).
224     - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
225 root 1.308 only compiling signal code when necessary.
226 root 1.313 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
227 root 1.311 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
228     said future/alternative API.
229 root 1.315 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
230 root 1.305
231 root 1.303 4.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
232     - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
233 root 1.304 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
234 root 1.351 (analysed by elmex).
235 root 1.303
236 root 1.302 4.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
237 root 1.301 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
238     AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
239     for errors after every push_write etc.
240 root 1.302 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
241     platforms.
242 root 1.301
243 root 1.300 4.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
244 root 1.295 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
245 root 1.296 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
246     segfault in Net::SSLeay.
247 root 1.298 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
248 root 1.299 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
249     tutorial accordingly.
250 root 1.297 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
251 root 1.295
252 root 1.294 4.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
253     - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
254     that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
255 root 1.292 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
256 root 1.293 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
257     - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
258 root 1.292 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
259 root 1.302 in IO::Async.
260 root 1.292
261 root 1.290 4.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
262 root 1.287 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
263     (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
264     - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
265     - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
266     - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent

269     by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
270 root 1.289 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
271     and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
272     - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
273     - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
274 root 1.286
275 root 1.285 4.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
276 root 1.284 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
277 root 1.283 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
278 root 1.284 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
279     this trap.
280 root 1.281 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
281     executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
282     half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
283 root 1.282 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
284     on_read callbacks.
285 root 1.281 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
286 root 1.279
287 root 1.278 4.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
288 root 1.277 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
289     callbacks.
290 root 1.275 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
291     in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
292     module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
293 root 1.276 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
294     Event::Lib.
295     - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
296     to rarely fail.
297 root 1.275
298 root 1.274 4.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
299 root 1.272 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
300     (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
301 root 1.268 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
302     in AnyEvent->io.
303 root 1.265 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
304 root 1.266 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
305     and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
306 root 1.267 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
307 root 1.273 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
308 root 1.270 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
309     portable_socketpair.

311     YMMV.
312 root 1.265
313 root 1.264 4.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
314 root 1.261 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
315     uppercase targets.
316 root 1.262 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
317     with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
318     causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
319 root 1.260 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
320     creation, with many options including hostname verification,
321     secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
322     predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
323     and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
324     - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
325 root 1.256 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
326     so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
327     in the common case.
328 root 1.258 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
329     - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
330     on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
331 root 1.263 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
332 root 1.257 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
333     failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
334     from the constructor.
335 root 1.259 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
336     then fall back to JSON.
337 root 1.262 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
338     and because it was documented that way.
339 root 1.256
340 root 1.258 4.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
341     - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
342     object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
343    
344 root 1.255 4.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
345     - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
346     an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
347 root 1.251 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
348     AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
349     to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
350 root 1.254 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
351 root 1.252 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
352     - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.

357 root 1.247 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
358     case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses

719 root 1.77 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
720     helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
721     - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
722     - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
723     - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
724 elmex 1.74 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
725     first and second argument.
726 root 1.77 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
727 root 1.72 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
728 root 1.78 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
729     cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
730     and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
731 root 1.72
732 root 1.71 3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008

734    
735 root 1.70 3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
736 root 1.181 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
737 root 1.70 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
738 root 1.69 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
739     (still subject to change).
740 root 1.63 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
741 root 1.68 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
742 root 1.67 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
743     (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
744 root 1.66 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
745     via Coro::AnyEvent.
746 root 1.63
747 root 1.62 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
748     - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
749 root 1.55 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
750     when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
751 root 1.54 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
752     the different event loops with each other.
753 root 1.56 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
754     but doesn't crash with many watchers.
755 root 1.62 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
756 root 1.56 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
757     kept alive.
758     - document the race between loading of an event module and
759     child processes exiting.
760 root 1.53 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
761 root 1.54 enough, and darn slow).
762 root 1.53 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
763 root 1.60 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
764 root 1.62 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
765 root 1.60 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
766     faster than Event and Glib :).
767 root 1.59 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
768 root 1.62 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
769     to other event loops where possible.
770 root 1.53
771 root 1.50 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
772 root 1.51 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
773     in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
774     for the same fh/poll combo).
775     - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
776 root 1.47 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
777 root 1.49 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
778     - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
779 root 1.52 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
780 root 1.47
781 root 1.46 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
782     - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
783     - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
784     strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
785     - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
786     better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
787     - do not send the signal to the process group
788     (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
789    
790 root 1.45 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008

795 root 1.43 3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
796 root 1.40 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
797 root 1.43 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
798     don't get fixed anytime soon).
799 root 1.42 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
800     (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
801     such strong limits).
802 root 1.41 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
803     - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
804     unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
805     any restrictions...).
806     - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
807 root 1.40
808 root 1.39 3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
809 root 1.38 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
810     up the Coro implementation in general.
811     - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
812     - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
813 root 1.44 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
814 root 1.38
815 root 1.37 2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008

818 root 1.36 2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007

821    
822 root 1.35 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
823 root 1.34 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
824     too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
825 root 1.35 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
826     or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
827     watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
828     (except when Event or EV are installed).
829 root 1.34
830 root 1.33 2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007

839 root 1.27
840 root 1.25 2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007

852 root 1.22
853 root 1.21 2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006

856    
857 root 1.20 2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
858 root 1.19 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
859 root 1.20 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
860     - implement signal watchers (experimental)
861     (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
862     so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
863     - implement child watchers (experimental).
864     - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
865     most implementation modules.
866 root 1.14

874     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
875     - EXPERIMENTAL:
876     new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable

892 root 1.6 - fixed errors in the documentation.
893 root 1.7 - going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
894     as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
895     this method.
896     - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
897     and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
898     glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
899     (older) versions of glib.
