1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2
3 - added AnyEvent::Util::listen (and an example eg/listen)
4 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
5 first and second argument.
6 - added AnyEvent::Util::connect and some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
7 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
8
93.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
10 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
11
123.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
13 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful
14 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
15 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
16 (still subject to change).
17 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
18 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
19 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
20 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
21 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
22 via Coro::AnyEvent.
23
243.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
25 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
26 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
27 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
28 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
29 the different event loops with each other.
30 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
31 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
32 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
33 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
34 kept alive.
35 - document the race between loading of an event module and
36 child processes exiting.
37 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
38 enough, and darn slow).
39 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
40 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
41 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
42 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
43 faster than Event and Glib :).
44 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
45 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
46 to other event loops where possible.
47
483.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
49 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
50 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
51 for the same fh/poll combo).
52 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
53 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
54 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
55 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
56 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
57
583.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
59 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
60 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
61 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
62 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
63 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
64 - do not send the signal to the process group
65 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
66
673.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
68 - major documentation rework.
69 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
70 - fix the child watcher example.
71
723.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
73 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
74 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
75 don't get fixed anytime soon).
76 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
77 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
78 such strong limits).
79 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
80 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
81 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
82 any restrictions...).
83 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
84
853.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
86 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
87 up the Coro implementation in general.
88 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
89 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
90 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
91
922.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
93 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
94
952.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
96 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
97 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
98
992.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
100 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
101 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
102 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
103 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
104 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
105 (except when Event or EV are installed).
106
1072.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
108 - fix bug in testsuite.
109 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
110 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
111
1122.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
113 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
114 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
115 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
