Revision 1.293 by root, Sat Jul 18 22:24:17 2009 UTC

1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2
3 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
4 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
5 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
6 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
7 in IO::ASync.
8
94.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
10 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
11 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
12 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
13 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
14 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
15 documentation.
16 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
17 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
18 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
19 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
20 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
21 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
22
234.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
24 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
25 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
26 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
27 this trap.
28 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
29 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
30 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
31 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
32 on_read callbacks.
33 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
34
354.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
36 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
37 callbacks.
38 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
39 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
40 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
41 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
42 Event::Lib.
43 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
44 to rarely fail.
45
464.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
47 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
48 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
49 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
50 in AnyEvent->io.
51 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
52 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
53 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
54 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
55 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
56 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
57 portable_socketpair.
58 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
59 YMMV.
60
614.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
62 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
63 uppercase targets.
64 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
65 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
66 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
67 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
68 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
69 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
70 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
71 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
72 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
73 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
74 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
75 in the common case.
76 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
77 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
78 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
79 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
80 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
81 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
82 from the constructor.
83 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
84 then fall back to JSON.
85 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
86 and because it was documented that way.
87
884.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
89 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
90 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
91
924.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
93 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
94 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
95 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
96 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
97 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
98 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
99 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
100 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
101 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
102
1034.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
104 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
105 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
106 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
107 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
108 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
109
1104.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
111 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
112 and set it on the default resolver.
113 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
114 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
115 when running in tainted mode.
116 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
117
1184.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
119 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
120
1214.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
122 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
123 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
124 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
125 destructors.
126 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
127 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
128 implementation.
129 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
130 for cosmetic reasons.
131
1324.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
133 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
134 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
135 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
136 - sped up Tk timer handling.
137 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
138 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
139 - fix Qt timers without interval.
140 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
141
1424.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
143 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
144 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
145 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
146
1474.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
148 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
149 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
150 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
151 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
152
1534.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
154 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
155 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
156 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
157 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
158 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
159 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
160 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
161 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
162 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
163 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
164 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
165
1664.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
167 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
168 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
169 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
170 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
171 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
172 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
173 backend.
174 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
175
1764.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
177 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
178 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
179 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
180 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
181 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
182 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
183
1844.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
185 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
186 illegal.
187 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
188 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
189 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
190 by Adam Rosenstein).
191 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
192 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
193 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
194
1954.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
196 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
197 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
198 the socket type.
199 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
200
2014.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
202 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
203 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
204 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
205 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
206 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
207 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
208
2094.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
210 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
211 unless one has been installed already.
212 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
213 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
214 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
215 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
216 client would first wait for some data by the server and
217 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
218 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
219 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
220 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
221 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
222 Rosenstein).
223 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
224 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
225 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
226 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
227 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
228 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
229 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
230 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
231 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
232 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
233 now, more to come, though.
234 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
235
2364.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
237 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
238 no trace events.
239 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
240 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
241 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
242 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
243 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
244 Time::HiRes).
245
2464.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
247 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
248 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
249
2504.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
251 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
252 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
253 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
254 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
255
2564.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
257 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
258 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
259 perls without resource leaks or worse).
260
2614.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
262 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
263 the callback.
264 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
265 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
266 eol marker.
267 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
268 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
269 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
270
2714.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
272 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
273 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
274 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
275 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
276 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
277
2784.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
279 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
280 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
281 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
282 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
283 unusable way.
284 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
285 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
286 K. Sharifulin).
287
2884.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
289 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
290 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
291 be delayed under some circumstances.
292 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
293 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
294 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
295 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
296 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
297 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
298
2994.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
300 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
301 assumption that all data could be written before read
302 (reported by Jim Razmus).
303
3044.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
305 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
306 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
307 implementation (also affected child watchers).
308 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
309
3104.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
311 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
312 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
313 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
314
3154.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
316 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
317 works.
318
3194.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
320 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
321 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
322 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
323 for AnyEvent::Handle.
324 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
325 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
326
3274.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
328 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
329 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
330 executing the guard block as warnings.
331 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
332
3334.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
334 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
335 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
336 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
337 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
338 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
339 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
340 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
341 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
342 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
343 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
344 enter an endless loop.
345 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
346 busy again after idling.
347 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
348 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
349 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
350 (hopefully).
351 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
352 away any time.
353
3544.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
355 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
356 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
357 - allow more options in on_error.
358
3594.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
360 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
361 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
362 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
363 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
364 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
365 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
366 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
367 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
368 rfc 2782.
369 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
370 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
371 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
372 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
373 could die. this has been fixed.
374 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
375 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
376 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
377 for resolver class.
378 - update version numbers in all modules.
379
3804.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
381 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
382 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
383 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
384 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
385 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
386 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
387 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
388 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
389 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
390 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
391 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
392 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
393 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
394 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
395 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
396 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
397 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
398 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
399 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
400 but EV also works around this).
401 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
402 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
403 vs. callback arguments.
404 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
405
4064.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
407 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
408 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
409 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
410 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
411
4124.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
413 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
414 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
415 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
416 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
417 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
418 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
419 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
420 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
421 sake of perl 5.8.
422 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
423 (still a hack...)
424 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
425 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
426 die handlers.
427
4284.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
429 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
430 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
431 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
432 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
433 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
434 - updated documentation.
435 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
436 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
437 in AnyEvent::Handle.
438 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
439 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
440 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
441 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
442
4434.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
444 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
445 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
446 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
447 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
448 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
449 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
450 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
451 verbatim ip addresses.
452 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
453 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
454 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
455 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
456 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
457 become writable until empty.
458 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
459 returns ENOTCONN.
460 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
461 override.
462 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
463
4643.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
465 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
466 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
467 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
468 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
469 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
470 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
471 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
472 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
473 first and second argument.
474 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
475 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
476 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
477 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
478 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
479
4803.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
481 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
482
4833.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
484 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
485 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
486 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
487 (still subject to change).
488 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
489 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
490 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
491 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
492 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
493 via Coro::AnyEvent.
494
4953.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
496 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
497 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
498 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
499 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
500 the different event loops with each other.
501 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
502 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
503 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
504 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
505 kept alive.
506 - document the race between loading of an event module and
507 child processes exiting.
508 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
509 enough, and darn slow).
510 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
511 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
512 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
513 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
514 faster than Event and Glib :).
515 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
516 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
517 to other event loops where possible.
518
5193.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
520 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
521 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
522 for the same fh/poll combo).
523 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
524 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
525 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
526 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
527 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
528
5293.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
530 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
531 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
532 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
533 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
534 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
535 - do not send the signal to the process group
536 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
537
5383.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
539 - major documentation rework.
540 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
541 - fix the child watcher example.
542
5433.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
544 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
545 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
546 don't get fixed anytime soon).
547 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
548 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
549 such strong limits).
550 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
551 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
552 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
553 any restrictions...).
554 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
555
5563.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
557 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
558 up the Coro implementation in general.
559 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
560 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
561 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
562
5632.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
564 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
565
5662.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
567 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
568 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
569
5702.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
571 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
572 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
573 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
574 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
575 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
576 (except when Event or EV are installed).
577
5782.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
579 - fix bug in testsuite.
580 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
581 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
582
5832.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
584 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
585 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
586 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
587
5882.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
589 - work around a perl bug that results in
590 BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
591 any discernible reason or error message by once
592 again not use'ing strict.
593
5942.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
595 - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
596
5972.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
598 - child watchers stopped working permanently when
599 all current child watchers were destroyed.
600
6012.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
602 - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
603 true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
604
6052.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
606 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
607 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
608 - implement signal watchers (experimental)
609 (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
610 so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
611 - implement child watchers (experimental).
612 - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
613 most implementation modules.
614
6152.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
616 - better docs.
617 - simple testsuite.
618 - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
619
6202.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
621 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
622 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
623 - EXPERIMENTAL:
624 new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
625 event model.
626 - improved documentation.
627 - reduced cpu overhead.
628
6291.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006
630 - add COPYING to clarify license.
631
6321.01 Sun Jan 8 05:48:09 CET 2006
633 - correctly cancel Event timers, avoid memory leaks.
634
6351.0 Sun Jan 8 05:40:58 CET 2006
636 - allow third-party interfaces to be added at runtime.
637 - fix version number.
