1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2
3 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
4 returns ENOTCONN.
5 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP brutal
6 override.
7
83.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
9 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
10 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
11 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
12 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
13 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
14 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
15 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
16 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
17 first and second argument.
18 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
19 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
20 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
21 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
22 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
23
243.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
25 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
26
273.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
28 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful
29 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
30 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
31 (still subject to change).
32 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
33 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
34 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
35 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
36 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
37 via Coro::AnyEvent.
38
393.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
40 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
41 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
42 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
43 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
44 the different event loops with each other.
45 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
46 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
47 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
48 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
49 kept alive.
50 - document the race between loading of an event module and
51 child processes exiting.
52 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
53 enough, and darn slow).
54 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
55 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
56 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
57 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
58 faster than Event and Glib :).
59 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
60 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
61 to other event loops where possible.
62
633.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
64 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
65 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
66 for the same fh/poll combo).
67 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
68 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
69 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
70 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
71 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
72
733.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
74 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
75 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
76 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
77 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
78 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
79 - do not send the signal to the process group
80 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
81
823.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
83 - major documentation rework.
84 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
85 - fix the child watcher example.
86
873.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
88 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
89 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
90 don't get fixed anytime soon).
91 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
92 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
93 such strong limits).
94 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
95 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
96 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
97 any restrictions...).
98 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
99
1003.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
101 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
102 up the Coro implementation in general.
103 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
104 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
105 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
106
1072.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
108 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
109
1102.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
111 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
112 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
113
1142.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
115 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
116 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
117 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
118 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
119 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
120 (except when Event or EV are installed).
121
1222.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
123 - fix bug in testsuite.
124 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
125 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
126
1272.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
128 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
129 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
130 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
131
1322.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
133 - work around a perl bug that results in
134 BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
135 any discernible reason or error message by once
136 again not use'ing strict.
137
1382.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
139 - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
140
1412.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
142 - child watchers stopped working permanently when
143 all current child watchers were destroyed.
144
1452.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
146 - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
147 true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
148
1492.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
150 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
151 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
152 - implement signal watchers (experimental)
153 (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
154 so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
155 - implement child watchers (experimental).
156 - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
157 most implementation modules.
158
1592.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
160 - better docs.
161 - simple testsuite.
162 - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
163
1642.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
165 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
166 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
167 - EXPERIMENTAL:
168 new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
169 event model.
170 - improved documentation.
171 - reduced cpu overhead.
172
1731.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006
174 - add COPYING to clarify license.
175
1761.01 Sun Jan 8 05:48:09 CET 2006
177 - correctly cancel Event timers, avoid memory leaks.
2 178
31.0 Sun Jan 8 05:40:58 CET 2006 1791.0 Sun Jan 8 05:40:58 CET 2006

240.2 Thu Dec 1 22:18:49 CET 2005 2000.2 Thu Dec 1 22:18:49 CET 2005
25 - check wether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops. 201 - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
26 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer). 202 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
27 - don't die when some modules are not available. 203 - don't die when some modules are not available.
28 - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works. 204 - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works.
