1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2 2
31.0 3 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
4
53.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
6 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
7 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
8 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
9 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
10 the different event loops with each other.
11 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
12 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
13 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
14 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
15 kept alive.
16 - document the race between loading of an event module and
17 child processes exiting.
18 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
19 enough, and darn slow).
20 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
21 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
22 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
23 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
24 faster than Event and Glib :).
25 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
26 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
27 to other event loops where possible.
28
293.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
30 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
31 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
32 for the same fh/poll combo).
33 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
34 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
35 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
36 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
37 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
38
393.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
40 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
41 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
42 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
43 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
44 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
45 - do not send the signal to the process group
46 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
47
483.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
49 - major documentation rework.
50 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
51 - fix the child watcher example.
52
533.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
54 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
55 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
56 don't get fixed anytime soon).
57 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
58 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
59 such strong limits).
60 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
61 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
62 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
63 any restrictions...).
64 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
65
663.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
67 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
68 up the Coro implementation in general.
69 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
70 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
71 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
72
732.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
74 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
75
762.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
77 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
78 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
79
802.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
81 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
82 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
83 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
84 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
85 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
86 (except when Event or EV are installed).
87
882.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
89 - fix bug in testsuite.
90 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
91 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
92
932.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
94 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
95 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
96 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
97
982.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
99 - work around a perl bug that results in
100 BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
101 any discernible reason or error message by once
102 again not use'ing strict.
103
1042.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
105 - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
106
1072.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
108 - child watchers stopped working permanently when
109 all current child watchers were destroyed.
110
1112.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
112 - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
113 true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
114
1152.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
116 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
117 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
118 - implement signal watchers (experimental)
119 (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
120 so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
121 - implement child watchers (experimental).
122 - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
123 most implementation modules.
124
1252.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
126 - better docs.
127 - simple testsuite.
128 - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
129
1302.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
131 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
132 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
133 - EXPERIMENTAL:
134 new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
135 event model.
136 - improved documentation.
137 - reduced cpu overhead.
138
1391.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006
140 - add COPYING to clarify license.
141
1421.01 Sun Jan 8 05:48:09 CET 2006
143 - correctly cancel Event timers, avoid memory leaks.
144
1451.0 Sun Jan 8 05:40:58 CET 2006
4 - allow third-party interfaces to be added at runtime. 146 - allow third-party interfaces to be added at runtime.
