34.0
4 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
5 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
6 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
7 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
8 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
9 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
10 verbatim ip addresses.
11 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
12 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
13 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
14 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
15 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
16 become writable untill empty.
17 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
18 returns ENOTCONN.
19 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP brutal
20 override.
21 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
22
233.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
24 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
25 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
26 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
27 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
28 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
29 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
30 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
31 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
32 first and second argument.
33 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
34 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
35 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
36 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
37 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
38
393.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
40 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
41
423.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
43 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful
44 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
45 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
46 (still subject to change).
47 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
48 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
49 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
50 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
51 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
52 via Coro::AnyEvent.
53
543.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
55 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
56 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
57 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
58 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
59 the different event loops with each other.
60 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
61 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
62 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
63 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
64 kept alive.
65 - document the race between loading of an event module and
66 child processes exiting.
67 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
68 enough, and darn slow).
69 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
70 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
71 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
72 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
73 faster than Event and Glib :).
74 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
75 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
76 to other event loops where possible.
77
783.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
79 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
80 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
81 for the same fh/poll combo).
82 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
83 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
84 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
85 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
86 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
87
883.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
89 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
90 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
91 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
92 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
93 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
94 - do not send the signal to the process group
95 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
