1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2
3 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
4 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
5 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INEt6 constants for the
6 sake of perl 5.8.
7 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
8 (still a hack...)
9 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
10 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
11 die handlers.
12
134.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
14 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
15 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
16 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
17 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
18 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
19 - updated documentation.
20 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
21 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
22 in AnyEvent::Handle.
23 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
24 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
25 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
26 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
27
284.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
29 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
30 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
31 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
32 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
33 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
34 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
35 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
36 verbatim ip addresses.
37 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
38 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
39 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
40 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
41 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
42 become writable untill empty.
43 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
44 returns ENOTCONN.
45 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP brutal
46 override.
47 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
48
493.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
50 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
51 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
52 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
53 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
54 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
55 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
56 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
57 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
58 first and second argument.
59 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
60 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
61 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
62 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
63 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
64
653.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
66 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
67
683.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
69 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful
70 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
71 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
72 (still subject to change).
73 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
74 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
75 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
76 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
77 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
78 via Coro::AnyEvent.
79
803.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
81 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
82 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
83 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
84 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
85 the different event loops with each other.
86 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
87 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
88 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
89 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
90 kept alive.
91 - document the race between loading of an event module and
92 child processes exiting.
93 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
94 enough, and darn slow).
95 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
96 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
97 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
98 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
99 faster than Event and Glib :).
100 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
101 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
102 to other event loops where possible.
103
1043.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
105 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
106 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
107 for the same fh/poll combo).
108 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
109 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
110 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
111 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
112 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
113
1143.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
115 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
116 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
117 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
118 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
119 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
120 - do not send the signal to the process group
121 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
122
1233.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
124 - major documentation rework.
125 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
126 - fix the child watcher example.
127
1283.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
129 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
130 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
131 don't get fixed anytime soon).
132 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
133 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
134 such strong limits).
135 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
136 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
137 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
138 any restrictions...).
139 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
140
1413.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
142 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
143 up the Coro implementation in general.
144 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
145 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
146 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
147
1482.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
149 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
150
1512.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
152 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
153 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
154
1552.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
156 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
157 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
158 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
159 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
160 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
161 (except when Event or EV are installed).
162
1632.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
164 - fix bug in testsuite.
165 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
166 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
167
1682.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
169 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
170 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
171 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
172
1732.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
174 - work around a perl bug that results in
175 BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
176 any discernible reason or error message by once
177 again not use'ing strict.
178
1792.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
180 - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
181
1822.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
183 - child watchers stopped working permanently when
184 all current child watchers were destroyed.
185
1862.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
187 - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
188 true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
189
1902.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
191 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
192 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
193 - implement signal watchers (experimental)
194 (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
195 so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
196 - implement child watchers (experimental).
197 - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
198 most implementation modules.
199
2002.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
201 - better docs.
202 - simple testsuite.
203 - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
204
2052.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
206 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
207 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
208 - EXPERIMENTAL:
209 new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
210 event model.
211 - improved documentation.
212 - reduced cpu overhead.
