1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2 2
32.0 3 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
4 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
5 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
6 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
7 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
8 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
9 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
10 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INEt6 constants for the
11 sake of perl 5.8.
12 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
13 (still a hack...)
14 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
15 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
16 die handlers.
17
184.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
19 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
20 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
21 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
22 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
23 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
24 - updated documentation.
25 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
26 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
27 in AnyEvent::Handle.
28 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
29 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
30 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
31 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
32
334.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
34 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
35 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
36 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
37 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
38 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
39 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
40 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
41 verbatim ip addresses.
42 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
43 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
44 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
45 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
46 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
47 become writable untill empty.
48 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
49 returns ENOTCONN.
50 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP brutal
51 override.
52 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
53
543.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
55 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
56 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
57 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
58 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
59 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
60 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
61 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
62 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
63 first and second argument.
64 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
65 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
66 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
67 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
68 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
69
703.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
71 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
72
733.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
74 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful
75 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
76 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
77 (still subject to change).
78 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
79 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
80 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
81 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
82 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
83 via Coro::AnyEvent.
84
853.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
86 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
87 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
88 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
89 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
90 the different event loops with each other.
91 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
92 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
93 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
94 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
95 kept alive.
96 - document the race between loading of an event module and
97 child processes exiting.
98 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
99 enough, and darn slow).
100 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
101 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
102 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
103 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
104 faster than Event and Glib :).
105 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
106 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
107 to other event loops where possible.
108
1093.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
110 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
111 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
112 for the same fh/poll combo).
113 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
114 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
115 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
116 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
117 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
118
1193.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
120 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
121 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
122 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
123 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
124 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
125 - do not send the signal to the process group
126 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
127
1283.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
129 - major documentation rework.
130 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
131 - fix the child watcher example.
132
1333.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
134 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
135 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
136 don't get fixed anytime soon).
137 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
138 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
139 such strong limits).
140 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
141 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
142 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
143 any restrictions...).
144 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
145
1463.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
147 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
148 up the Coro implementation in general.
149 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
150 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
151 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
152
1532.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
154 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
155
1562.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
157 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
158 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
159
1602.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
161 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
162 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
163 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
164 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
165 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
166 (except when Event or EV are installed).
167
1682.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
169 - fix bug in testsuite.
170 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
171 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
172
1732.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
174 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
175 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
176 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
177
1782.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
179 - work around a perl bug that results in
180 BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
181 any discernible reason or error message by once
182 again not use'ing strict.
183
1842.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
185 - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
186
1872.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
188 - child watchers stopped working permanently when
189 all current child watchers were destroyed.
190
1912.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
192 - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
193 true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
194
1952.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
196 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
197 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
198 - implement signal watchers (experimental)
199 (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
200 so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
201 - implement child watchers (experimental).
202 - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
203 most implementation modules.
204
2052.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
206 - better docs.
207 - simple testsuite.
208 - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
