1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2 2
3 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
4 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
5 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
6 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
7 - updated documentation.
8 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
9 in AnyEvent::Handle.
10 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
11 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
12
134.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
14 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
15 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
16 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
17 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
18 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
19 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
20 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
21 verbatim ip addresses.
22 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
23 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
24 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
25 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
26 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
27 become writable untill empty.
28 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
29 returns ENOTCONN.
30 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP brutal
31 override.
32 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
33
343.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
35 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
36 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
37 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
38 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
39 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
40 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
41 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
42 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
43 first and second argument.
44 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
45 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
46 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
47 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
48 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
49
503.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
51 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
52
533.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
54 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful
55 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
56 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
57 (still subject to change).
58 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
59 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
60 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
61 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
62 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
63 via Coro::AnyEvent.
64
653.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
66 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
67 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
68 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
69 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
70 the different event loops with each other.
71 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
72 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
73 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
74 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
75 kept alive.
76 - document the race between loading of an event module and
77 child processes exiting.
78 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
79 enough, and darn slow).
80 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
81 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
82 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
83 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
84 faster than Event and Glib :).
85 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
86 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
87 to other event loops where possible.
88
893.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
90 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
91 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
92 for the same fh/poll combo).
93 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
94 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
95 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
96 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
97 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
98
993.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
100 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
101 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
102 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
103 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
104 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
105 - do not send the signal to the process group
106 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
107
1083.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
109 - major documentation rework.
110 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
111 - fix the child watcher example.
112
1133.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
114 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
115 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
116 don't get fixed anytime soon).
117 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
118 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
119 such strong limits).
120 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
121 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
122 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
123 any restrictions...).
124 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
125
1263.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
127 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
128 up the Coro implementation in general.
129 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
130 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
131 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
132
1332.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
134 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
135
1362.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
137 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
138 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
139
1402.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
141 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
142 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
143 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
144 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
145 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
146 (except when Event or EV are installed).
147
1482.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
149 - fix bug in testsuite.
150 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
151 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
152
1532.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
154 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
155 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
156 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
157
1582.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
159 - work around a perl bug that results in
160 BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
161 any discernible reason or error message by once
162 again not use'ing strict.
163
1642.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
165 - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
166
1672.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
168 - child watchers stopped working permanently when
169 all current child watchers were destroyed.
170
1712.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
172 - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
173 true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
174
1752.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
176 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
177 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
178 - implement signal watchers (experimental)
179 (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
180 so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
181 - implement child watchers (experimental).
182 - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
183 most implementation modules.
184
1852.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
186 - better docs.
187 - simple testsuite.
188 - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
189
1902.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
191 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
192 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
193 - EXPERIMENTAL:
194 new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
195 event model.
196 - improved documentation.
197 - reduced cpu overhead.
198
1991.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006
200 - add COPYING to clarify license.
201
2021.01 Sun Jan 8 05:48:09 CET 2006
203 - correctly cancel Event timers, avoid memory leaks.
204
2051.0 Sun Jan 8 05:40:58 CET 2006
206 - allow third-party interfaces to be added at runtime.
207 - fix version number.
208
2090.9 Fri Dec 30 02:25:41 CET 2005
3 - fixed errors in the documentation. 210 - fixed errors in the documentation.
211 - going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
212 as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
213 this method.
214 - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
215 and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
216 glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
217 (older) versions of glib.
218 - implemented PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE env variable.

12 - check wether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops. 227 - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
13 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer). 228 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
14 - don't die when some modules are not available. 229 - don't die when some modules are not available.
15 - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works. 230 - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works.
