1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2 2
33.0 3TODO: implement condvars...
4 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
5
63.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
7 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
8 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
9 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
10 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
11 the different event loops with each other.
12 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
13 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
14 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
15 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
16 kept alive.
17 - document the race between loading of an event module and
18 child processes exiting.
19 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
20 enough, and darn slow).
21 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
22 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
23 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
24 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
25 faster than Event and Glib :).
26 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
27 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
28 to other event loops where possible.
29
303.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
31 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
32 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
33 for the same fh/poll combo).
34 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
35 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
36 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
37 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
38 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.

403.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
41 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
42 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
43 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
44 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
45 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
46 - do not send the signal to the process group
47 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
48
493.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
50 - major documentation rework.
51 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
52 - fix the child watcher example.
53
543.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
55 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
56 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
57 don't get fixed anytime soon).
58 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
59 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
60 such strong limits).
61 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
62 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
63 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
64 any restrictions...).
65 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
