3MAYBE: http://svn.xantus.org/shortbus/trunk/cometd-perl/lab/aio.pl 3 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
4 (poe makes their own "anyevent", unfortunately). 4 first and second argument.
5 - added AnyEvent::Util::connect and some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
6 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
7
83.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
9 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
10
113.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
12 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful
13 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
14 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
15 (still subject to change).
16 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
17 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
18 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
19 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
20 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
21 via Coro::AnyEvent.
22
233.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
24 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
25 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
26 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
27 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
28 the different event loops with each other.
29 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
30 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
31 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
32 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
33 kept alive.
34 - document the race between loading of an event module and
35 child processes exiting.
36 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
37 enough, and darn slow).
38 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
39 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
40 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
41 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
42 faster than Event and Glib :).
43 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
44 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
45 to other event loops where possible.
46
473.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
48 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
49 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
50 for the same fh/poll combo).
51 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
52 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
53 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
54 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
55 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
56
573.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
58 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
59 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
60 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
61 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
62 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
63 - do not send the signal to the process group
64 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
65
663.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
67 - major documentation rework.
68 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
69 - fix the child watcher example.
70
713.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
72 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
73 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
74 don't get fixed anytime soon).
75 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
76 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
77 such strong limits).
78 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
79 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
80 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
81 any restrictions...).
82 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
83
843.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
85 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
86 up the Coro implementation in general.
87 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
88 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
89 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
90
912.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
92 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
93
942.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
95 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
96 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
97
982.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
99 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
100 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
101 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
102 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
103 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
104 (except when Event or EV are installed).
105
1062.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
107 - fix bug in testsuite.
108 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
109 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.

80 - check wether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops. 185 - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
81 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer). 186 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).

83 - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works. 188 - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works.
