2 2
3MAYBE: http://svn.xantus.org/shortbus/trunk/cometd-perl/lab/aio.pl 3 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
4 (poe makes their own "anyevent", unfortunately). 4 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
5 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
6
74.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
8 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
9 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
10 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
11 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
12 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
13 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
14 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
15 verbatim ip addresses.
16 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
17 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
18 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
19 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
20 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
21 become writable untill empty.
22 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
23 returns ENOTCONN.
24 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP brutal
25 override.
26 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
27
283.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
29 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
30 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
31 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
32 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
33 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
34 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
35 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
36 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
37 first and second argument.
38 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
39 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
40 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
41 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
42 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
43
443.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
45 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
46
473.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
48 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful
49 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
50 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
51 (still subject to change).
52 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
53 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
54 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
55 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
56 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
57 via Coro::AnyEvent.
58
593.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
60 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
61 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
62 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
63 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
64 the different event loops with each other.
65 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
66 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
67 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
68 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
69 kept alive.
70 - document the race between loading of an event module and
71 child processes exiting.
72 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
73 enough, and darn slow).
74 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
75 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
76 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
77 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
78 faster than Event and Glib :).
79 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
80 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
81 to other event loops where possible.
82
833.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
84 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
85 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
86 for the same fh/poll combo).
87 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
88 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
89 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
90 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
91 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
92
933.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
94 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
95 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
96 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
97 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
98 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
99 - do not send the signal to the process group
100 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
101
1023.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
103 - major documentation rework.
104 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
105 - fix the child watcher example.
106
1073.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
108 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
109 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
110 don't get fixed anytime soon).
111 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
112 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
113 such strong limits).
114 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
115 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
116 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
117 any restrictions...).
118 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
119
1203.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
121 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
122 up the Coro implementation in general.
123 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
124 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
125 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
126
1272.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
128 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
129
1302.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
131 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
132 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
133
1342.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
135 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
136 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
137 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
138 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
139 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
140 (except when Event or EV are installed).
141
1422.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
143 - fix bug in testsuite.
144 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
145 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.

7 - add EV to the list of supported event models. 148 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
8 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them. 149 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
9 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers. 150 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.

80 - check wether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops. 221 - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
81 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer). 222 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
82 - don't die when some modules are not available. 223 - don't die when some modules are not available.
83 - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works. 224 - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works.
