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.
8 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.

104.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
11 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
12 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
13 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
14 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
15 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
16 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
17 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
18 verbatim ip addresses.
19 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
20 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
21 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
22 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
23 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
24 become writable untill empty.
25 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
26 returns ENOTCONN.
27 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP brutal
28 override.
29 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
30
313.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
32 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
33 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
34 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
35 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
36 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
37 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
38 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
39 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
40 first and second argument.
41 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
42 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
43 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
44 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
45 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
46
473.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
48 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
49
503.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
51 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful
52 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
53 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
54 (still subject to change).
55 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
56 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
57 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
58 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
59 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
60 via Coro::AnyEvent.
61
623.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
63 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
64 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
65 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
66 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
67 the different event loops with each other.
68 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
69 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
70 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
71 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
72 kept alive.
73 - document the race between loading of an event module and
74 child processes exiting.
75 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
76 enough, and darn slow).
77 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
78 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
79 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
80 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
81 faster than Event and Glib :).
82 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
83 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
84 to other event loops where possible.
85
863.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
87 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
88 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
89 for the same fh/poll combo).
90 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
91 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
92 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
93 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
94 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
95
963.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
97 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
98 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
99 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
100 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
101 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
102 - do not send the signal to the process group
103 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
104
1053.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
106 - major documentation rework.
107 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
108 - fix the child watcher example.
109
1103.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
111 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
112 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
113 don't get fixed anytime soon).
114 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
115 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
116 such strong limits).
117 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
118 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
119 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
120 any restrictions...).
121 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
122
1233.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
124 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
125 up the Coro implementation in general.
126 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
127 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
128 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
129
1302.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
131 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
132
1332.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
134 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
135 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
136
1372.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
138 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
139 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
140 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
141 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
142 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
143 (except when Event or EV are installed).
144
1452.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
146 - fix bug in testsuite.
147 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
148 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
149
1502.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
151 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
152 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
153 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
154
1552.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
156 - work around a perl bug that results in
157 BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
158 any discernible reason or error message by once
159 again not use'ing strict.
160
1612.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
162 - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
163
1642.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
165 - child watchers stopped working permanently when
166 all current child watchers were destroyed.
167
1682.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
169 - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
170 true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
171
1722.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
173 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
174 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
175 - implement signal watchers (experimental)
176 (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
177 so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
178 - implement child watchers (experimental).
179 - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
180 most implementation modules.
181
1822.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
183 - better docs.
184 - simple testsuite.
185 - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
186
1872.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
188 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
189 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
190 - EXPERIMENTAL:
191 new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
192 event model.
193 - improved documentation.
194 - reduced cpu overhead.
195
1961.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006
197 - add COPYING to clarify license.
198
1991.01 Sun Jan 8 05:48:09 CET 2006
200 - correctly cancel Event timers, avoid memory leaks.
