34.01
4 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
5 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
6 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
7 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
8 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
9 - updated documentation.
10 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
11 in AnyEvent::Handle.
12 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
13 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
14 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
15 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
16
174.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
18 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
19 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
20 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
21 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
22 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
23 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
24 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
25 verbatim ip addresses.
26 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
27 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
28 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
29 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
30 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
31 become writable untill empty.
32 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
33 returns ENOTCONN.
34 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP brutal
35 override.
36 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
37
383.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
39 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
40 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
41 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
42 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
43 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
44 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
45 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
46 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
47 first and second argument.
48 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
49 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
50 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
51 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
52 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
53
543.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
55 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
56
573.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
58 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful
59 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
60 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
61 (still subject to change).
62 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
63 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
64 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
65 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
66 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
67 via Coro::AnyEvent.
68
693.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
70 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
71 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
72 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
73 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
74 the different event loops with each other.
75 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
76 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
77 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
78 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
79 kept alive.
80 - document the race between loading of an event module and
81 child processes exiting.
82 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
83 enough, and darn slow).
84 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
85 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
86 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
87 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
88 faster than Event and Glib :).
89 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
90 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
91 to other event loops where possible.
92
933.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
94 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
95 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
96 for the same fh/poll combo).
97 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
98 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
99 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
100 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
101 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
102
1033.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
104 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
105 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
106 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
107 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
108 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
109 - do not send the signal to the process group
110 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
