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 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
5 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
6 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
7 in AnyEvent::Handle.

94.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
10 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
11 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
12 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
13 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
14 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
15 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
16 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
17 verbatim ip addresses.
18 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
19 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
20 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
21 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
22 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
23 become writable untill empty.
24 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
25 returns ENOTCONN.
26 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP brutal
27 override.
28 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
29
303.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
31 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
32 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
33 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
34 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
35 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
36 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
37 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
38 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
39 first and second argument.
40 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
41 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
42 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
43 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
44 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
45
463.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
47 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
48
493.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
50 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful
51 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
52 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
53 (still subject to change).
54 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
55 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
56 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
57 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
58 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
59 via Coro::AnyEvent.
60
613.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
62 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
63 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
64 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
65 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
66 the different event loops with each other.
67 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
68 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
69 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
70 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
71 kept alive.
72 - document the race between loading of an event module and
73 child processes exiting.
74 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
75 enough, and darn slow).
76 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
77 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
78 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
79 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
80 faster than Event and Glib :).
81 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
82 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
83 to other event loops where possible.
84
853.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
86 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
87 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
88 for the same fh/poll combo).
89 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
90 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
91 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
92 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
93 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
94
953.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
96 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
97 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
98 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
99 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
100 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
101 - do not send the signal to the process group
102 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
