33.51
4 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
5 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
6 become writable untill empty.
7 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
8 returns ENOTCONN.
9 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP brutal
10 override.
11
123.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
13 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
14 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
15 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
16 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
17 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
18 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
19 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
20 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
21 first and second argument.
22 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
23 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
24 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
25 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
26 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
27
283.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
29 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
30
313.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
32 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful
33 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
34 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
35 (still subject to change).
36 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
37 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
38 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
39 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
40 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
41 via Coro::AnyEvent.
42
433.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
44 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
45 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
46 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
47 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
48 the different event loops with each other.
49 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
50 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
51 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
52 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
53 kept alive.
54 - document the race between loading of an event module and
55 child processes exiting.
56 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
57 enough, and darn slow).
58 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
59 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
60 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
61 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
62 faster than Event and Glib :).
63 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
64 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
65 to other event loops where possible.
66
673.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
68 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
69 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
70 for the same fh/poll combo).
71 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
72 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
73 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
74 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
75 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
76
773.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
78 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
79 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
80 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
81 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
82 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
83 - do not send the signal to the process group
84 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
85
863.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
87 - major documentation rework.
88 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
89 - fix the child watcher example.
90
913.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
92 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
93 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
94 don't get fixed anytime soon).
95 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
96 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
97 such strong limits).
98 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
99 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
100 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
101 any restrictions...).
102 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
103
1043.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
105 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
106 up the Coro implementation in general.
107 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
108 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
109 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
110
1112.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
112 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
113
1142.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
115 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
116 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
117
1182.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
119 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
120 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
121 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
122 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
123 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
124 (except when Event or EV are installed).
125
1262.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
127 - fix bug in testsuite.
128 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
129 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
130
1312.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
132 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
133 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
134 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
135
1362.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
137 - work around a perl bug that results in
138 BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
139 any discernible reason or error message by once
140 again not use'ing strict.
141
1422.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
143 - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
