Reported by Yi Ma Mao. + +3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008 + - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful + API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented). + - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API + (still subject to change). + - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl. + - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which + allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection. + (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example). + - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent + via Coro::AnyEvent. + +3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008 + - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules. + - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive + when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo. + - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing + the different event loops with each other. + - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast, + but doesn't crash with many watchers. + - declare Qt support non-experimental. + - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being + kept alive. + - document the race between loading of an event module and + child processes exiting. + - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic + enough, and darn slow). + - support Wx and Prima through POE. + - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage + of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with + select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually + faster than Event and Glib :). + - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%, + by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar + to other event loops where possible. + 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008 + - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks + in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered + for the same fh/poll combo). + - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions. - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable. - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module. - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed). - - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions. + - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof. 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
