1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2 2
3TODO: testsuite, now that we can be sure that a model is available at all times 3 - added AnyEvent::Util::connect and some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
4 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
5
63.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
7 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
8
93.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
10 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful
11 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
12 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
13 (still subject to change).
14 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
15 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
16 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
17 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
18 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
19 via Coro::AnyEvent.
20
213.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
22 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
23 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
24 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
25 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
26 the different event loops with each other.
27 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
28 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
29 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
30 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
31 kept alive.
32 - document the race between loading of an event module and
33 child processes exiting.
34 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
35 enough, and darn slow).
36 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
37 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
38 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
39 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
40 faster than Event and Glib :).
41 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
42 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
43 to other event loops where possible.
44
453.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
46 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
47 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
48 for the same fh/poll combo).
49 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
50 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
51 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
52 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
53 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
54
553.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
56 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
57 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
58 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
59 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
60 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
61 - do not send the signal to the process group
62 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
63
643.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
65 - major documentation rework.
66 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
67 - fix the child watcher example.
68
693.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
70 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
71 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
72 don't get fixed anytime soon).
73 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
74 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
75 such strong limits).
76 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
77 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
78 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
79 any restrictions...).
80 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
81
823.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
83 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
84 up the Coro implementation in general.
85 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
86 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
87 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
88
892.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
90 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
91
922.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
93 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
94 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
95
962.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
97 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
98 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
99 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
100 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
101 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
102 (except when Event or EV are installed).
103
1042.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
105 - fix bug in testsuite.
106 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
107 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
108
1092.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
110 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
111 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
112 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
113
1142.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
115 - work around a perl bug that results in
116 BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
117 any discernible reason or error message by once
118 again not use'ing strict.
119
1202.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
121 - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
122
1232.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
124 - child watchers stopped working permanently when
125 all current child watchers were destroyed.
126
1272.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
128 - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
129 true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
130
1312.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
132 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
133 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
134 - implement signal watchers (experimental)
135 (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
136 so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
137 - implement child watchers (experimental).
138 - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
139 most implementation modules.
