1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2
3 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
4 the different event loops with each other.
5 - make Qt and Event::Lib support non-experimental.
6 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
7 enough, and darn slow).
8 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
9
103.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
11 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
12 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
13 for the same fh/poll combo).
14 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
15 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
16 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
17 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
18 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.

203.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
21 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
22 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
23 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
24 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
25 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
26 - do not send the signal to the process group
27 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
28
293.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
30 - major documentation rework.
31 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
32 - fix the child watcher example.
33
343.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
35 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
36 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
37 don't get fixed anytime soon).
38 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
39 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
40 such strong limits).
41 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
42 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
43 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
44 any restrictions...).
45 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
46
473.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
48 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
49 up the Coro implementation in general.
50 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
51 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
52 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
53
542.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
55 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
56
572.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
58 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
59 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
60
612.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
62 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
63 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
64 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
65 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
66 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
67 (except when Event or EV are installed).
68
692.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
70 - fix bug in testsuite.
71 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
72 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
73
742.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
75 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
76 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
77 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
78
792.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
80 - work around a perl bug that results in
81 BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
82 any discernible reason or error message by once
83 again not use'ing strict.
84
852.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
86 - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
