1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2 2
33.51
4 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
5 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
6 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
7 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
8 become writable untill empty.
9 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
10 returns ENOTCONN.
11 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP brutal
12 override.
13
143.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
15 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
16 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
17 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
18 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
19 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
20 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
21 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
22 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
23 first and second argument.
24 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
25 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
26 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
27 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
28 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
29
303.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
31 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
32
333.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
34 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful
35 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
36 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
37 (still subject to change).
38 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
39 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
40 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
41 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
42 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
43 via Coro::AnyEvent.
44
453.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
46 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
47 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
48 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
49 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
50 the different event loops with each other.
51 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
52 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
53 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
54 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
55 kept alive.
56 - document the race between loading of an event module and
57 child processes exiting.
58 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
59 enough, and darn slow).
60 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
61 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
62 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
63 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
64 faster than Event and Glib :).
65 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
66 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
67 to other event loops where possible.
68
693.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
70 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
71 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
72 for the same fh/poll combo).
73 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
74 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
75 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
76 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
77 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
78
793.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
80 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
81 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
82 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
83 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
84 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
85 - do not send the signal to the process group
86 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
87
883.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
89 - major documentation rework.
90 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
91 - fix the child watcher example.
92
933.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
94 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
95 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
96 don't get fixed anytime soon).
97 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
98 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
99 such strong limits).
100 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
101 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
102 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
103 any restrictions...).
104 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
105
1063.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
107 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
108 up the Coro implementation in general.
109 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
110 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
111 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
112
1132.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
114 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
115
1162.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
117 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
118 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
119
1202.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
121 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
122 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
123 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
124 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
125 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
126 (except when Event or EV are installed).
127
1282.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
129 - fix bug in testsuite.
130 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
131 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
132
1332.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
134 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
135 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
136 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
137
1382.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
139 - work around a perl bug that results in
140 BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
141 any discernible reason or error message by once
142 again not use'ing strict.
143
1442.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
145 - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
146
1472.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
148 - child watchers stopped working permanently when
149 all current child watchers were destroyed.
150
1512.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
152 - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
153 true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
154
1552.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
156 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
157 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
158 - implement signal watchers (experimental)
159 (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
160 so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
161 - implement child watchers (experimental).
162 - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
163 most implementation modules.
164
1652.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
166 - better docs.
167 - simple testsuite.
168 - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
169
1702.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
171 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
172 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
173 - EXPERIMENTAL:
174 new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
175 event model.
176 - improved documentation.
177 - reduced cpu overhead.
178
1791.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006
180 - add COPYING to clarify license.
181
1821.01 Sun Jan 8 05:48:09 CET 2006
183 - correctly cancel Event timers, avoid memory leaks.
184
1851.0 Sun Jan 8 05:40:58 CET 2006
186 - allow third-party interfaces to be added at runtime.
187 - fix version number.
188
1890.9 Fri Dec 30 02:25:41 CET 2005
3 - fixed errors in the documentation. 190 - fixed errors in the documentation.
191 - going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
192 as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
193 this method.
194 - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
195 and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
196 glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
197 (older) versions of glib.
198 - implemented PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE env variable.

12 - check wether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops. 207 - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
13 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer). 208 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
14 - don't die when some modules are not available. 209 - don't die when some modules are not available.
15 - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works. 210 - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works.
