1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.

3 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
4 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
5 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
6 the different event loops with each other.
7 - make Qt and Event::Lib support non-experimental.
8 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
9 enough, and darn slow).
10 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
11 - optimise perl backend a bit (less memory).

14 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
15 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
16 for the same fh/poll combo).
17 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
18 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
19 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
20 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
21 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.

233.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
24 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
25 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
26 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
27 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
28 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
29 - do not send the signal to the process group
30 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).

33 - major documentation rework.
34 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
35 - fix the child watcher example.

40 don't get fixed anytime soon).
5 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction. 41 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
42 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
43 such strong limits).
