15 | one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll |

|
|
17 | - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see |
|
|
18 | AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details. |
|
|
19 | - DEPRECIATION: please change |
|
|
20 | "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and |
|
|
21 | "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run" |
|
|
22 | in your programs, for future compatibility. |
|
|
23 | - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked. |
|
|
24 | - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well. |
|
|
25 | - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since |
|
|
26 | this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for |
|
|
27 | for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback |
|
|
28 | instead (reported by James Bromberger). |
|
|
29 | - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield). |
|
|
30 | - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log. |
|
|
31 | - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs. |
|
|
32 | - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start |
|
|
33 | a debug shell. |
|
|
34 | - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable |
|
|
35 | watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap). |
|
|
36 | - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality. |
|
|
37 | - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications $_ by the callback. |
|
|
38 | - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer. |
|
|
39 | Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour. |
|
|
40 | - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl |
|
|
41 | module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl). |
| 15 | - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could |

| 22 | - add support for (currently third-party) AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK. |
49 | - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2. |

52 | (reported by Gerald Galster). |
| 26 | - resolve AnyEvent::Util::guard at first-use-time, not at load time, |
|
|
| 27 | for further speed and memory savings when not used. |
|
|
| 28 | - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable |

| 29 | with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that |
54 | with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that |
| 30 | do not support blocking waits. |
55 | do not support blocking waits. |
|
|
56 | - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although |
|
|
57 | the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear. |
|
|
58 | - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS. |
|
|
59 | - add t/80_ssltext.t. |
|
|
60 | - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason). |
|
|
61 | - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed. |
|
|
62 | - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached |
|
|
63 | copies of AnyEvent::detect. |
|
|
64 | - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets. |
