1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2
3 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
4 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
5 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
6 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
7 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
8 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
9 first and second argument.
10 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
11 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
12
133.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
14 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
15
163.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
17 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful
18 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
19 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
20 (still subject to change).
21 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
22 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
23 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
24 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
25 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
26 via Coro::AnyEvent.
27
283.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
29 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
30 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
31 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
32 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
33 the different event loops with each other.
34 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
35 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
36 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
37 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
38 kept alive.
39 - document the race between loading of an event module and
40 child processes exiting.
41 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
42 enough, and darn slow).
43 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
44 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
45 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
46 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
47 faster than Event and Glib :).
48 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
49 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
50 to other event loops where possible.
51
523.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
53 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
54 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
55 for the same fh/poll combo).
56 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
57 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
58 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
59 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
60 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
61
623.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
63 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
64 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
65 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
66 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
67 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
68 - do not send the signal to the process group
69 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
70
713.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
72 - major documentation rework.
73 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
74 - fix the child watcher example.
75
763.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
77 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
78 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
79 don't get fixed anytime soon).
80 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
81 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
82 such strong limits).
83 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
84 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
85 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
86 any restrictions...).
87 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
88
893.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
90 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
91 up the Coro implementation in general.
92 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
93 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
94 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
95
962.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
97 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
98
992.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
100 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
101 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
102
1032.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
104 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
105 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
106 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
107 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
108 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
109 (except when Event or EV are installed).
110
1112.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
112 - fix bug in testsuite.
113 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
114 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
115
1162.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
117 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
118 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
119 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
120
1212.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
122 - work around a perl bug that results in
123 BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
124 any discernible reason or error message by once
125 again not use'ing strict.
126
1272.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
128 - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
129
1302.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
131 - child watchers stopped working permanently when
132 all current child watchers were destroyed.
133
1342.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
135 - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
136 true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
