|
4 | - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao. |
|

|
|
7 | - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful |
|
|
8 | API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented). |
|
|
9 | - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API |
|
|
10 | (still subject to change). |
|
|
11 | - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl. |
|
|
12 | - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which |
|
|
13 | allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection. |
|
|
14 | (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example). |
|
|
15 | - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent |
|
|
16 | via Coro::AnyEvent. |

19 | - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules. |

|
|
24 | - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast, |
|
|
25 | but doesn't crash with many watchers. |
7 | - make Qt and Event::Lib support non-experimental. |
26 | - declare Qt support non-experimental. |
|
|
27 | - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being |
|
|
28 | kept alive. |
|
|
29 | - document the race between loading of an event module and |
|
|
30 | child processes exiting. |
8 | - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic |

33 | - support Wx and Prima through POE. |
11 | - optimise perl backend a bit (less memory). |
34 | - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage |
|
|
35 | of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with |
|
|
36 | select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually |
|
|
37 | faster than Event and Glib :). |
|
|
38 | - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%, |
|
|
39 | by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar |
|
|
40 | to other event loops where possible. |
