1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2 2
3 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
4 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
5 support entirely.
6 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
7 (still a hack...)
8 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.

104.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
11 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
12 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
13 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
14 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
15 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
16 - updated documentation.
17 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
18 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
19 in AnyEvent::Handle.
20 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
21 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
22 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
23 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
24
254.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
26 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
27 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
28 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
29 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
30 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
31 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
32 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
33 verbatim ip addresses.
34 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
35 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
36 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
37 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
38 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
39 become writable untill empty.
40 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
41 returns ENOTCONN.
42 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP brutal
43 override.
44 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
45
463.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
47 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
48 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
49 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
50 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
51 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
52 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
53 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
54 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
55 first and second argument.
56 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
57 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
58 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
59 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
60 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
61
623.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
63 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
64
653.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
66 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful
67 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
68 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
69 (still subject to change).
70 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
71 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
72 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
73 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
74 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
75 via Coro::AnyEvent.
76
773.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
78 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
79 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
80 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
81 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
82 the different event loops with each other.
83 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
84 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
3 - make Qt and Event::Lib support non-experimental. 85 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
86 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
87 kept alive.
88 - document the race between loading of an event module and
89 child processes exiting.
4 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic 90 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
5 enough). 91 enough, and darn slow).
6 - support Wx and Prima through POE. 92 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
93 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
94 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
95 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
96 faster than Event and Glib :).
97 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
98 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
99 to other event loops where possible.

9 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks 102 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
10 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered 103 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
11 for the same fh/poll combo). 104 for the same fh/poll combo).
