2 2
3MAYBE: http://svn.xantus.org/shortbus/trunk/cometd-perl/lab/aio.pl 3TODO: preferences, retry-callback, memleaks
4 (poe makes their own "anyevent", unfortunately). 4TODO: check tls in handle for bugs
53.51
6 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
7 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
8 - added support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
9 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
10 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
11 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dooted quad for
12 verbatim ip addresses.
13 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
14 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
15 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
16 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
17 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
18 become writable untill empty.
19 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
20 returns ENOTCONN.
21 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP brutal
22 override.
23 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
24
253.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
26 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
27 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
28 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
29 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
30 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
31 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
32 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
33 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
34 first and second argument.
35 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
36 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
37 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
38 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
39 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
40
413.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
42 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
43
443.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
45 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful
46 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
47 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
48 (still subject to change).
49 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
50 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
51 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
52 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
53 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
54 via Coro::AnyEvent.
55
563.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
57 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
58 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
59 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
60 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
61 the different event loops with each other.
62 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
63 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
64 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
65 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
66 kept alive.
67 - document the race between loading of an event module and
68 child processes exiting.
69 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
70 enough, and darn slow).
71 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
72 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
73 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
74 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
75 faster than Event and Glib :).
76 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
77 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
78 to other event loops where possible.
79
803.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
81 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
82 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
83 for the same fh/poll combo).
84 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
85 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
86 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
87 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
88 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
89
903.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
91 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
92 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
93 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
94 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
95 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
96 - do not send the signal to the process group
97 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
98
993.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
100 - major documentation rework.
101 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
102 - fix the child watcher example.
103
1043.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
105 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
106 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
107 don't get fixed anytime soon).
108 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
109 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
110 such strong limits).
111 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
112 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
113 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
114 any restrictions...).
115 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
116
1173.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
118 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
119 up the Coro implementation in general.
120 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
121 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
122 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
123
1242.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
125 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
126
1272.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
128 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
129 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
130
1312.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
132 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
133 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
134 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
135 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
136 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
137 (except when Event or EV are installed).
138
1392.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
140 - fix bug in testsuite.
141 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
142 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
143
1442.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
145 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
146 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
147 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
