3TODO: testsuite, now that we can be sure that a model is available at all times 33.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
4 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
4 5
63.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
7 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful
8 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
9 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
10 (still subject to change).
11 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
12 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
13 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
14 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
15 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
16 via Coro::AnyEvent.
17
183.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
19 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
20 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
21 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
22 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
23 the different event loops with each other.
24 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
25 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
26 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
27 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
28 kept alive.
29 - document the race between loading of an event module and
30 child processes exiting.
31 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
32 enough, and darn slow).
33 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
34 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
35 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
36 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
37 faster than Event and Glib :).
38 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
39 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
40 to other event loops where possible.
41
423.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
43 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
44 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
45 for the same fh/poll combo).
46 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
47 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
48 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
49 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
50 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
51
523.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
53 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
54 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
55 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
56 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
57 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
58 - do not send the signal to the process group
59 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
60
613.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
62 - major documentation rework.
63 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
64 - fix the child watcher example.
65
663.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
67 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
68 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
69 don't get fixed anytime soon).
70 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
71 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
72 such strong limits).
73 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
74 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
75 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
76 any restrictions...).
77 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
78
793.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
80 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
81 up the Coro implementation in general.
82 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
83 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
84 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
85
862.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
87 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
88
892.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
90 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
91 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
92
932.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
94 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
95 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
96 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
97 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
98 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
99 (except when Event or EV are installed).
100
1012.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
102 - fix bug in testsuite.
103 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
104 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
105
1062.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
107 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
108 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
109 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
110
1112.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
112 - work around a perl bug that results in
113 BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
114 any discernible reason or error message by once
115 again not use'ing strict.
116
1172.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
118 - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
119
1202.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
121 - child watchers stopped working permanently when
122 all current child watchers were destroyed.
123
1242.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
125 - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
126 true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
127
1282.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
129 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
130 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
131 - implement signal watchers (experimental)
132 (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
133 so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
134 - implement child watchers (experimental).
135 - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
136 most implementation modules.
137
1382.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006

6 - simple testsuite. 140 - simple testsuite.
141 - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
