2 2
32.0 3TODO: implement condvars...
4 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: 4 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
5 - provide AnyEvent::on_detect and @AnyEvent::on_detect, which
6 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
7 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
8 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
9 via Coro::AnyEvent.
10
113.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
12 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
13 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
14 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
15 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
16 the different event loops with each other.
17 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
18 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
19 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
20 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
21 kept alive.
22 - document the race between loading of an event module and
23 child processes exiting.
24 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
25 enough, and darn slow).
26 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
27 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
28 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
29 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
30 faster than Event and Glib :).
31 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
32 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
33 to other event loops where possible.
34
353.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
36 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
37 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
38 for the same fh/poll combo).
39 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
40 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
41 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
42 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
43 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
44
453.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
46 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
47 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
48 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
49 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
50 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
51 - do not send the signal to the process group
52 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
53
543.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
55 - major documentation rework.
56 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
57 - fix the child watcher example.
58
593.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
60 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
61 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
62 don't get fixed anytime soon).
63 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
64 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
65 such strong limits).
66 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
67 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
68 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
69 any restrictions...).
70 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
71
723.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
73 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
74 up the Coro implementation in general.
75 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
76 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
77 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
78
792.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
80 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
81
822.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
83 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
84 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
85
862.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
87 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
88 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
89 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
90 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
91 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
92 (except when Event or EV are installed).
93
942.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
95 - fix bug in testsuite.
96 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
97 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
98
992.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
100 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
101 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
102 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
103
1042.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
105 - work around a perl bug that results in
106 BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
107 any discernible reason or error message by once
108 again not use'ing strict.
109
1102.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
111 - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
112
1132.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
114 - child watchers stopped working permanently when
115 all current child watchers were destroyed.
116
1172.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
118 - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
119 true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
120
1212.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
122 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
123 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
124 - implement signal watchers (experimental)
125 (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
126 so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
127 - implement child watchers (experimental).
128 - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
129 most implementation modules.
130
1312.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
132 - better docs.
133 - simple testsuite.
134 - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
