1 root 1.1 Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2    
3 root 1.83 3.51
4 root 1.88 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
5     - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
6 root 1.90 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
7     - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
8 root 1.89 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dooted quad for
9     verbatim ip addresses.
10 root 1.88 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
11 root 1.87 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
12 root 1.86 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
13 root 1.83 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
14 root 1.84 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
15     become writable untill empty.
16 root 1.81 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
17     returns ENOTCONN.
18 root 1.82 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP brutal
19     override.
20 root 1.81
21 root 1.80 3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
22 root 1.79 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
23     (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
24 root 1.77 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
25     helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
26     - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
27     - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
28     - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
29 elmex 1.74 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
30     first and second argument.
31 root 1.77 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
32 root 1.72 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
33 root 1.78 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
34     cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
35     and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
36 root 1.72
37 root 1.71 3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
38     - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
39    
40 root 1.70 3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
41     - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful
42     API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
43 root 1.69 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
44     (still subject to change).
45 root 1.63 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
46 root 1.68 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
47 root 1.67 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
48     (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
49 root 1.66 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
50     via Coro::AnyEvent.
51 root 1.63
52 root 1.62 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
53     - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
54 root 1.55 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
55     when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
56 root 1.54 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
57     the different event loops with each other.
58 root 1.56 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
59     but doesn't crash with many watchers.
60 root 1.62 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
61 root 1.56 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
62     kept alive.
63     - document the race between loading of an event module and
64     child processes exiting.
65 root 1.53 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
66 root 1.54 enough, and darn slow).
67 root 1.53 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
68 root 1.60 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
69 root 1.62 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
70 root 1.60 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
71     faster than Event and Glib :).
72 root 1.59 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
73 root 1.62 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
74     to other event loops where possible.
75 root 1.53
76 root 1.50 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
77 root 1.51 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
78     in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
79     for the same fh/poll combo).
80     - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
81 root 1.47 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
82 root 1.49 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
83     - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
84 root 1.52 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
85 root 1.47
86 root 1.46 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
87     - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
88     - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
89     strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
90     - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
91     better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
92     - do not send the signal to the process group
93     (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
94    
95 root 1.45 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
96     - major documentation rework.
97     - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
98     - fix the child watcher example.
99    
100 root 1.43 3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
101 root 1.40 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
102 root 1.43 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
103     don't get fixed anytime soon).
104 root 1.42 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
105     (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
106     such strong limits).
107 root 1.41 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
108     - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
109     unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
110     any restrictions...).
111     - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
112 root 1.40
113 root 1.39 3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
114 root 1.38 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
115     up the Coro implementation in general.
116     - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
117     - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
118 root 1.44 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
119 root 1.38
120 root 1.37 2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
121     - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
122    
123 root 1.36 2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
124     - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
125     instead of reporting it to any watchers.
126    
127 root 1.35 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
128 root 1.34 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
129     too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
130 root 1.35 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
131     or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
132     watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
133     (except when Event or EV are installed).
134 root 1.34
135 root 1.33 2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
136 root 1.32 - fix bug in testsuite.
137     - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
138     - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
139 root 1.26
140 root 1.31 2.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
141 root 1.27 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
142 root 1.30 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
143 root 1.29 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
144 root 1.27
145 root 1.25 2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
146     - work around a perl bug that results in
147     BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
148     any discernible reason or error message by once
149     again not use'ing strict.
150    
151 root 1.24 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
152     - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
153    
154 root 1.22 2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
155     - child watchers stopped working permanently when
156 root 1.23 all current child watchers were destroyed.
157 root 1.22
158 root 1.21 2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
159     - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
160     true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
161    
162 root 1.20 2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
163 root 1.19 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
164 root 1.20 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
165     - implement signal watchers (experimental)
166     (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
167     so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
168     - implement child watchers (experimental).
169     - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
170     most implementation modules.
171 root 1.14
172 root 1.18 2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
173 root 1.16 - better docs.
174     - simple testsuite.
175 root 1.17 - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
176 root 1.16
177 root 1.15 2.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
178 root 1.13 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
179     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
180     - EXPERIMENTAL:
181     new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
182     event model.
183 root 1.12 - improved documentation.
184     - reduced cpu overhead.
185    
186 root 1.11 1.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006
187     - add COPYING to clarify license.
188    
189 root 1.10 1.01 Sun Jan 8 05:48:09 CET 2006
190     - correctly cancel Event timers, avoid memory leaks.
191    
192 root 1.9 1.0 Sun Jan 8 05:40:58 CET 2006
193 root 1.8 - allow third-party interfaces to be added at runtime.
194     - fix version number.
195    
196 root 1.7 0.9 Fri Dec 30 02:25:41 CET 2005
197 root 1.6 - fixed errors in the documentation.
198 root 1.7 - going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
199     as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
200     this method.
201     - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
202     and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
203     glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
204     (older) versions of glib.
205     - implemented PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE env variable.
206 root 1.6
207 root 1.5 0.3 Sun Dec 4 10:43:33 CET 2005
208     - no changes to the code.
209     - fixed documentation.
210     - clarified some corner cases.
211     - vastly improved documentation with a long example.
212    
213 root 1.3 0.2 Thu Dec 1 22:18:49 CET 2005
214 root 1.44 - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
215 root 1.4 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
216     - don't die when some modules are not available.
217     - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works.
218 root 1.3
219 root 1.2 0.1 Thu Dec 1 19:44:57 CET 2005
220     - spiced up and cleaned up for release.
221    
222 root 1.1 0.01 Tue Sep 21 18:12:09 CEST 2004
223     - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
