2 2
3TODO: testsuite, now that we can be sure that a model is available at all times 33.51
4 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
5 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
6 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
7 become writable untill empty.
8 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
9 returns ENOTCONN.
10 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP brutal
11 override.
12
133.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
14 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
15 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
16 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
17 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
18 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
19 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
20 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
21 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
22 first and second argument.
23 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
24 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
25 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
26 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
27 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
28
293.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
30 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
31
323.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
33 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful
34 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
35 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
36 (still subject to change).
37 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
38 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
39 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
40 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
41 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
42 via Coro::AnyEvent.
43
443.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
45 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
46 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
47 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
48 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
49 the different event loops with each other.
50 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
51 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
52 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
53 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
54 kept alive.
55 - document the race between loading of an event module and
56 child processes exiting.
57 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
58 enough, and darn slow).
59 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
60 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
61 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
62 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
63 faster than Event and Glib :).
64 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
65 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
66 to other event loops where possible.
67
683.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
69 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
70 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
71 for the same fh/poll combo).
72 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
73 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
74 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
75 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
76 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
77
783.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
79 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
80 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
81 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
82 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
83 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
84 - do not send the signal to the process group
85 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
86
873.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
88 - major documentation rework.
89 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
90 - fix the child watcher example.
91
923.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
93 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
94 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
95 don't get fixed anytime soon).
96 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
97 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
98 such strong limits).
99 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
100 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
101 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
102 any restrictions...).
103 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
104
1053.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
106 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
107 up the Coro implementation in general.
108 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
109 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
110 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
111
1122.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
113 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
114
1152.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
116 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
117 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
118
1192.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
120 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
121 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
122 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
123 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
124 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
125 (except when Event or EV are installed).
126
1272.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
128 - fix bug in testsuite.
129 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
130 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
131
1322.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
133 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
134 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
135 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
136
1372.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
138 - work around a perl bug that results in
139 BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
140 any discernible reason or error message by once
141 again not use'ing strict.
142
1432.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
144 - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
145
1462.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
147 - child watchers stopped working permanently when
148 all current child watchers were destroyed.
149
1502.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
151 - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
152 true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
153
1542.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
155 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
156 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
157 - implement signal watchers (experimental)
158 (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
159 so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
160 - implement child watchers (experimental).
161 - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
162 most implementation modules.

460.2 Thu Dec 1 22:18:49 CET 2005 2050.2 Thu Dec 1 22:18:49 CET 2005
47 - check wether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops. 206 - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
48 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer). 207 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
49 - don't die when some modules are not available. 208 - don't die when some modules are not available.
50 - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works. 209 - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works.
