2 2
3MAYBE: http://svn.xantus.org/shortbus/trunk/cometd-perl/lab/aio.pl 33.51
4 (poe makes their own "anyevent", unfortunately). 4 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
5 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
6 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dooted quad for
7 verbatim ip addresses.
8 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
9 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
10 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
11 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
12 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
13 become writable untill empty.
14 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
15 returns ENOTCONN.
16 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP brutal
17 override.

62.55 193.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
20 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
21 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
22 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
23 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
24 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
25 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
26 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
27 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
28 first and second argument.
29 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
30 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
31 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
32 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
33 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
34
353.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
36 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
37
383.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
39 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful
40 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
41 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
42 (still subject to change).
43 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
44 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
45 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
46 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
47 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
48 via Coro::AnyEvent.
49
503.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
51 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
52 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
53 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
54 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
55 the different event loops with each other.
56 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
57 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
58 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
59 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
60 kept alive.
61 - document the race between loading of an event module and
62 child processes exiting.
63 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
64 enough, and darn slow).
65 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
66 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
67 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
68 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
69 faster than Event and Glib :).
70 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
71 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
72 to other event loops where possible.
73
743.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
75 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
76 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
77 for the same fh/poll combo).
78 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
79 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
80 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
81 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
82 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
83
843.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
85 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
86 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
87 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
88 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
89 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
90 - do not send the signal to the process group
91 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
92
933.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
94 - major documentation rework.
95 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
96 - fix the child watcher example.
97
983.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
99 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
100 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
101 don't get fixed anytime soon).
102 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
103 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
104 such strong limits).
105 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
106 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
107 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
108 any restrictions...).
109 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
110
1113.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
112 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
113 up the Coro implementation in general.
114 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
115 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
116 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
117
1182.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
119 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
120
1212.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
122 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
123 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
124
1252.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
126 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
127 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
128 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
129 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
130 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
131 (except when Event or EV are installed).
132
1332.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
134 - fix bug in testsuite.
135 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
136 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
137
1382.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
7 - add EV to the list of supported event models. 139 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
8 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them. 140 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
9 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers. 141 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.

80 - check wether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops. 212 - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
81 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer). 213 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
82 - don't die when some modules are not available. 214 - don't die when some modules are not available.
83 - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works. 215 - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works.
