3TODO: testsuite, now that we can be sure that a model is available at all times 3 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
4 4
53.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
6 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
7
83.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
9 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful
10 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
11 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
12 (still subject to change).
13 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
14 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
15 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
16 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
17 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
18 via Coro::AnyEvent.
19
203.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
21 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
22 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
23 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
24 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
25 the different event loops with each other.
26 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
27 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
28 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
29 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
30 kept alive.
31 - document the race between loading of an event module and
32 child processes exiting.
33 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
34 enough, and darn slow).
35 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
36 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
37 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
38 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
39 faster than Event and Glib :).
40 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
41 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
42 to other event loops where possible.
43
443.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
45 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
46 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
47 for the same fh/poll combo).
48 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
49 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
50 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
51 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
52 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
53
543.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
55 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
56 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
57 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
58 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
59 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
60 - do not send the signal to the process group
61 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
62
633.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
64 - major documentation rework.
65 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
66 - fix the child watcher example.
67
683.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
69 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
70 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
71 don't get fixed anytime soon).
72 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
73 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
74 such strong limits).
75 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
76 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
77 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
78 any restrictions...).
79 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
80
813.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
82 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
83 up the Coro implementation in general.
84 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
85 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
86 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
87
882.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
89 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
90
912.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
92 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
93 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
94
952.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
96 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
97 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
98 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
99 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
100 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
101 (except when Event or EV are installed).
102
1032.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
104 - fix bug in testsuite.
105 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
106 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
107
1082.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
109 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
110 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
111 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
112
1132.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
114 - work around a perl bug that results in
115 BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
116 any discernible reason or error message by once
117 again not use'ing strict.
118
1192.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
120 - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
121
1222.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
123 - child watchers stopped working permanently when
124 all current child watchers were destroyed.
125
1262.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
127 - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
128 true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
129
1302.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
131 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
132 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
133 - implement signal watchers (experimental)
134 (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
135 so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
136 - implement child watchers (experimental).
137 - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
138 most implementation modules.
139
1402.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006

6 - simple testsuite. 142 - simple testsuite.
143 - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
