3TODO: testsuite, now that we can be sure that some model 33.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
4TODO: is available at all times 4 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
5 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
6 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
7 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
8 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
9 - do not send the signal to the process group
10 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).

62.0 123.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
13 - major documentation rework.
14 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
15 - fix the child watcher example.
16
173.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
18 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
19 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
20 don't get fixed anytime soon).
21 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
22 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
23 such strong limits).
24 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
25 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
26 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
27 any restrictions...).
28 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
29
303.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
31 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
32 up the Coro implementation in general.
33 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
34 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
35 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
36
372.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
38 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
39
402.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
41 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
42 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
43
442.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
45 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
46 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
47 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
48 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
49 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
50 (except when Event or EV are installed).
51
522.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
53 - fix bug in testsuite.
54 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
55 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
56
572.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
58 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
59 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
60 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
61
622.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
63 - work around a perl bug that results in
64 BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
65 any discernible reason or error message by once
66 again not use'ing strict.
67
682.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
69 - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
70
712.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
72 - child watchers stopped working permanently when
73 all current child watchers were destroyed.
74
752.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
76 - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
77 true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
78
792.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
80 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
81 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
82 - implement signal watchers (experimental)
83 (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
84 so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
85 - implement child watchers (experimental).
86 - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
87 most implementation modules.
88
892.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
90 - better docs.
91 - simple testsuite.
92 - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.

7 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both. 95 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
8 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore. 96 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
9 - EXPERIMENTAL: 97 - EXPERIMENTAL:
10 new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable 98 new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
11 event model. 99 event model.
