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

3 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
4
53.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
6 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
7 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
8 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
9 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
10 the different event loops with each other.
11 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
12 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
13 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
14 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
15 kept alive.
16 - document the race between loading of an event module and
17 child processes exiting.
18 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
19 enough, and darn slow).
20 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
21 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
22 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
23 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
24 faster than Event and Glib :).
25 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
26 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
27 to other event loops where possible.

293.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
30 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
31 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
32 for the same fh/poll combo).
33 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
34 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
35 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
36 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
37 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.

393.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
40 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
41 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
42 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
43 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
44 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
45 - do not send the signal to the process group
46 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
47
483.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
49 - major documentation rework.
50 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
51 - fix the child watcher example.
