2 2
31.0 34.01
4 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
5 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
6 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
7 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
8 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
9 - updated documentation.
10 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
11 in AnyEvent::Handle.
12 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
13 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
14 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
15 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
16
174.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
18 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
19 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
20 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
21 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
22 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
23 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
24 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
25 verbatim ip addresses.
26 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
27 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
28 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
29 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
30 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
31 become writable untill empty.
32 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
33 returns ENOTCONN.
34 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP brutal
35 override.
36 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
37
383.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
39 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
40 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
41 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
42 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
43 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
44 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
45 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
46 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
47 first and second argument.
48 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
49 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
50 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
51 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
52 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
53
543.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
55 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
56
573.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
58 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful
59 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
60 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
61 (still subject to change).
62 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
63 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
64 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
65 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
66 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
67 via Coro::AnyEvent.
68
693.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
70 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
71 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
72 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
73 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
74 the different event loops with each other.
75 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
76 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
77 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
78 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
79 kept alive.
80 - document the race between loading of an event module and
81 child processes exiting.
82 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
83 enough, and darn slow).
84 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
85 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
86 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
87 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
88 faster than Event and Glib :).
89 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
90 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
91 to other event loops where possible.
92
933.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
94 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
95 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
96 for the same fh/poll combo).
97 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
98 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
99 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
100 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
101 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
102
1033.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
104 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
105 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
106 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
107 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
108 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
109 - do not send the signal to the process group
110 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
111
1123.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
113 - major documentation rework.
114 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
115 - fix the child watcher example.
116
1173.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
118 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
119 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
120 don't get fixed anytime soon).
121 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
122 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
123 such strong limits).
124 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
125 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
126 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
127 any restrictions...).
128 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
129
1303.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
131 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
132 up the Coro implementation in general.
133 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
134 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
135 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
136
1372.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
138 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
139
1402.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
141 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
142 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
143
1442.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
145 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
146 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
147 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
148 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
149 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
150 (except when Event or EV are installed).
151
1522.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
153 - fix bug in testsuite.
154 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
155 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
156
1572.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
158 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
159 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
160 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
161
1622.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
163 - work around a perl bug that results in
164 BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
165 any discernible reason or error message by once
166 again not use'ing strict.
167
1682.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
169 - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
170
1712.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
172 - child watchers stopped working permanently when
173 all current child watchers were destroyed.
174
1752.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
176 - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
177 true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
178
1792.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
180 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
181 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
182 - implement signal watchers (experimental)
183 (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
184 so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
185 - implement child watchers (experimental).
186 - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
187 most implementation modules.
188
1892.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
190 - better docs.
191 - simple testsuite.
192 - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
193
1942.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
195 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
196 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
197 - EXPERIMENTAL:
198 new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
199 event model.
200 - improved documentation.
201 - reduced cpu overhead.
202
2031.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006
204 - add COPYING to clarify license.
205
2061.01 Sun Jan 8 05:48:09 CET 2006
