1 | Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. |
| 2 | |
2 | |
|
|
3 | - added AnyEvent::Handle and AnyEvent::Socket modules |
|
|
4 | - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive |
|
|
5 | when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo. |
|
|
6 | - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing |
|
|
7 | the different event loops with each other. |
|
|
8 | - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast, |
|
|
9 | but doesn't crash with many watchers. |
|
|
10 | - make Qt support non-experimental. |
|
|
11 | - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being |
|
|
12 | kept alive. |
|
|
13 | - document the race between loading of an event module and |
|
|
14 | child processes exiting. |
|
|
15 | - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic |
|
|
16 | enough, and darn slow). |
|
|
17 | - support Wx and Prima through POE. |
|
|
18 | - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage |
|
|
19 | of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with |
|
|
20 | select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually |
|
|
21 | faster than Event and Glib :). |
|
|
22 | - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%, |
|
|
23 | by removing undocumented functionality. |

|
|
26 | - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks |
|
|
27 | in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered |
|
|
28 | for the same fh/poll combo). |
|
|
29 | - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions. |
| 3 | - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable. |
30 | - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable. |
|
|
31 | - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module. |
|
|
32 | - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed). |
|
|
33 | - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof. |
