3TODO: testsuite, now that we can be sure that a model is available at all times 33.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
4 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
5 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
6 for the same fh/poll combo).
7 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
8 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
9 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
10 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
11
123.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
13 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
14 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
15 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
16 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
17 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
18 - do not send the signal to the process group
19 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
20
213.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
22 - major documentation rework.
23 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
24 - fix the child watcher example.
25
263.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
27 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
28 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
29 don't get fixed anytime soon).
30 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
31 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
32 such strong limits).
33 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
34 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
35 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
36 any restrictions...).
37 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
38
393.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
40 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
41 up the Coro implementation in general.
42 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
43 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
44 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
45
462.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
47 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
48
492.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
50 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
51 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
52
532.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
54 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
55 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
56 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
57 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
58 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
59 (except when Event or EV are installed).
60
612.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
62 - fix bug in testsuite.
63 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
64 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
65
662.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
67 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
68 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
69 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
70
712.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
72 - work around a perl bug that results in
73 BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
74 any discernible reason or error message by once
75 again not use'ing strict.
76
772.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
78 - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
79
802.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
81 - child watchers stopped working permanently when
82 all current child watchers were destroyed.
83
842.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
85 - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
86 true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
87
882.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
89 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
90 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
91 - implement signal watchers (experimental)
92 (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
93 so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
94 - implement child watchers (experimental).
95 - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
96 most implementation modules.
