1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.

3 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
4 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
5 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
6 the different event loops with each other.
7 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
8 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
9 - make Qt support non-experimental.
10 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
11 kept alive.
12 - document the race between loading of an event module and
13 child processes exiting.
14 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
15 enough, and darn slow).
16 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
17 - optimise perl backend a bit (less memory).

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

30 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
31 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
32 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
33 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
34 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
35 - do not send the signal to the process group
36 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).

39 - major documentation rework.
40 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
41 - fix the child watcher example.
