1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2
3 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
4 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
5 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
6 the different event loops with each other.
7 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
8 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
9 - make Qt support non-experimental.
10 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
11 kept alive.
12 - document the race between loading of an event module and
13 child processes exiting.
14 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
15 enough, and darn slow).
16 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
17 - optimise perl backend a bit (less memory).

193.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
20 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
21 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
22 for the same fh/poll combo).
23 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
24 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
25 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
26 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
27 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
28
293.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
30 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
31 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
32 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
33 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
34 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
35 - do not send the signal to the process group
36 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
37
383.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
39 - major documentation rework.
40 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
41 - fix the child watcher example.
42
433.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
44 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
45 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
46 don't get fixed anytime soon).
47 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
48 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
49 such strong limits).
50 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
51 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
52 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
53 any restrictions...).
54 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
55
563.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
57 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
58 up the Coro implementation in general.
59 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
60 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
61 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
62
632.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
64 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
65
662.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
67 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
68 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
69
702.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
71 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
72 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
73 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
74 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
75 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
76 (except when Event or EV are installed).
77
782.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
79 - fix bug in testsuite.
80 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
81 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
82
832.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
84 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
85 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
86 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
87
882.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
89 - work around a perl bug that results in
90 BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
91 any discernible reason or error message by once
92 again not use'ing strict.
93
942.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
95 - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
96
972.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
98 - child watchers stopped working permanently when
99 all current child watchers were destroyed.
