1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2
3 - added AnyEvent::Handle and AnyEvent::Socket modules
4 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
5 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
6 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
7 the different event loops with each other.
8 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
9 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
10 - make Qt support non-experimental.
11 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
12 kept alive.
13 - document the race between loading of an event module and
14 child processes exiting.
15 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
16 enough, and darn slow).
17 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
18 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
19 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
20 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
21 faster than Event and Glib :).
22 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
23 by removing undocumented functionality.
24
253.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
26 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
27 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
28 for the same fh/poll combo).
29 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
30 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
31 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
32 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
33 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
34
353.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
36 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
37 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
38 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
39 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
40 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
41 - do not send the signal to the process group
42 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
43
443.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
45 - major documentation rework.
46 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
47 - fix the child watcher example.
48
493.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
50 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
51 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
52 don't get fixed anytime soon).
53 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
54 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
55 such strong limits).
56 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
57 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
58 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
59 any restrictions...).
60 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
61
623.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
63 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
64 up the Coro implementation in general.
65 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
66 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
67 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
68
692.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
70 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
71
722.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
73 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
74 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
75
762.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
77 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
78 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
79 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
80 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
81 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
82 (except when Event or EV are installed).
83
842.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
85 - fix bug in testsuite.
86 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
87 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
88
892.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
90 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
91 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
92 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
93
942.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
95 - work around a perl bug that results in
96 BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
97 any discernible reason or error message by once
98 again not use'ing strict.
