3MAYBE: http://svn.xantus.org/shortbus/trunk/cometd-perl/lab/aio.pl 33.51
4 (poe makes their own "anyevent", unfortunately). 4 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
5 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
6 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
7 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
8 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
9 become writable untill empty.
10 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
11 returns ENOTCONN.
12 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP brutal
13 override.
14
153.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
16 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
17 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
18 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
19 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
20 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
21 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
22 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
23 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
24 first and second argument.
25 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
26 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
27 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
28 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
29 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
30
313.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
32 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
33
343.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
35 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful
36 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
37 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
38 (still subject to change).
39 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
40 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
41 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
42 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
43 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
44 via Coro::AnyEvent.
45
463.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
47 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
48 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
49 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
50 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
51 the different event loops with each other.
52 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
53 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
54 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
55 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
56 kept alive.
57 - document the race between loading of an event module and
58 child processes exiting.
59 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
60 enough, and darn slow).
61 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
62 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
63 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
64 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
65 faster than Event and Glib :).
66 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
67 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
68 to other event loops where possible.
69
703.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
71 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
72 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
73 for the same fh/poll combo).
74 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
75 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
76 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
77 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
78 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
79
803.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
81 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
82 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
83 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
84 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
85 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
86 - do not send the signal to the process group
87 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
88
893.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
90 - major documentation rework.
91 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
92 - fix the child watcher example.
93
943.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
95 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
96 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
97 don't get fixed anytime soon).
98 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
99 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
100 such strong limits).
101 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
102 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
103 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
104 any restrictions...).
105 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
106
1073.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
108 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
109 up the Coro implementation in general.
110 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
111 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
112 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
113
1142.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
115 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
116
1172.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
118 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
119 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
120
1212.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
122 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
123 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
124 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
125 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
126 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
127 (except when Event or EV are installed).
128
1292.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
130 - fix bug in testsuite.
131 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
132 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
133
1342.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
135 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
136 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
137 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
