1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2
3 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
4
54.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
6 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
7 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
8 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
9 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
10 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
11 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
12 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
13 verbatim ip addresses.
14 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
15 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
16 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
17 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
18 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
19 become writable untill empty.
20 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
21 returns ENOTCONN.
22 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP brutal
23 override.
24 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
25
263.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
27 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
28 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
29 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
30 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
31 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
32 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
33 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
34 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
35 first and second argument.
36 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
37 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
38 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
39 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
40 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
41
423.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
43 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
44
453.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
46 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful
47 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
48 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
49 (still subject to change).
50 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
51 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
52 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
53 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
54 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
55 via Coro::AnyEvent.
56
573.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
58 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
59 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
60 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
61 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
62 the different event loops with each other.
63 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
64 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
65 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
66 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
67 kept alive.
68 - document the race between loading of an event module and
69 child processes exiting.
70 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
71 enough, and darn slow).
72 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
73 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
74 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
75 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
76 faster than Event and Glib :).
77 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
78 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
79 to other event loops where possible.
80
813.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
82 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
83 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
84 for the same fh/poll combo).
85 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
86 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
87 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
88 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
89 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
90
913.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
92 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
93 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
94 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
95 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
96 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
97 - do not send the signal to the process group
98 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
99
1003.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
101 - major documentation rework.
102 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
103 - fix the child watcher example.
