1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2
3 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
4 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
5 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INEt6 constants for the
6 sake of perl 5.8.
7 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
8 (still a hack...)
9 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
10
114.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
12 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
13 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
14 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
15 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
16 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
17 - updated documentation.
18 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
19 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
20 in AnyEvent::Handle.
21 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
22 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
23 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
24 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
25
264.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
27 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
28 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
29 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
30 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
31 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
32 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
33 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
34 verbatim ip addresses.
35 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
36 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
37 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
38 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
39 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
40 become writable untill empty.
41 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
42 returns ENOTCONN.
43 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP brutal
44 override.
45 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
46
473.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
48 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
49 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
50 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
51 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
52 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
53 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
54 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
55 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
56 first and second argument.
57 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
58 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
59 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
60 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
61 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
62
633.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
64 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
65
663.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
67 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful
68 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
69 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
70 (still subject to change).
71 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
72 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
73 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
74 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
75 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
76 via Coro::AnyEvent.
77
783.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
79 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
80 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
81 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
82 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
83 the different event loops with each other.
84 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
85 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
86 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
87 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
88 kept alive.
89 - document the race between loading of an event module and
90 child processes exiting.
91 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
92 enough, and darn slow).
93 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
94 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
95 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
96 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
97 faster than Event and Glib :).
98 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
99 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
100 to other event loops where possible.
101
1023.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
103 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
104 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
105 for the same fh/poll combo).
106 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
107 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
108 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
109 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
110 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
111
1123.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
113 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
114 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
115 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
116 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
117 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
118 - do not send the signal to the process group
119 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
120
1213.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
122 - major documentation rework.
123 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
124 - fix the child watcher example.
125
1263.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
127 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
128 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
129 don't get fixed anytime soon).
130 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
131 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
132 such strong limits).
133 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
134 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
135 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
136 any restrictions...).
137 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
138
1393.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
140 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
141 up the Coro implementation in general.
142 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
143 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
144 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
145
1462.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
147 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
148
1492.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
150 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
151 instead of reporting it to any watchers.

32.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007 1532.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
4 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is 154 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
5 too much breakage outside AnyEvent. 155 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
6 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl 156 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl

90 - check wether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops. 240 - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
91 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer). 241 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
92 - don't die when some modules are not available. 242 - don't die when some modules are not available.
93 - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works. 243 - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works.
