1 Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2
3 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
4 - added a a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
5 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
6 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
7
8 4.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
9 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
10 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
11 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
12 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
13
14 4.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
15 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
16 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
17 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
18 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
19 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
20 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
21 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
22 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
23 sake of perl 5.8.
24 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
25 (still a hack...)
26 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
27 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
28 die handlers.
29
30 4.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
31 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
32 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
33 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
34 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
35 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
36 - updated documentation.
37 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
38 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
39 in AnyEvent::Handle.
40 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
41 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
42 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
43 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
44
45 4.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
46 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
47 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
48 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
49 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
50 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
51 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
52 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
53 verbatim ip addresses.
54 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
55 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
56 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
57 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
58 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
59 become writable untill empty.
60 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
61 returns ENOTCONN.
62 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP brutal
63 override.
64 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
65
66 3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
67 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
68 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
69 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
70 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
71 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
72 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
73 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
74 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
75 first and second argument.
76 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
77 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
78 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
79 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
80 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
81
82 3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
83 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
84
85 3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
86 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful
87 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
88 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
89 (still subject to change).
90 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
91 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
92 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
93 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
94 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
95 via Coro::AnyEvent.
96
97 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
98 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
99 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
100 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
101 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
102 the different event loops with each other.
103 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
104 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
105 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
106 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
107 kept alive.
108 - document the race between loading of an event module and
109 child processes exiting.
110 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
111 enough, and darn slow).
112 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
113 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
114 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
115 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
116 faster than Event and Glib :).
117 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
118 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
119 to other event loops where possible.
120
121 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
122 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
123 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
124 for the same fh/poll combo).
125 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
126 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
127 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
128 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
129 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
130
131 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
132 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
133 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
134 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
135 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
136 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
137 - do not send the signal to the process group
138 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
139
140 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
141 - major documentation rework.
142 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
143 - fix the child watcher example.
144
145 3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
146 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
147 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
148 don't get fixed anytime soon).
149 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
150 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
151 such strong limits).
152 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
153 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
154 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
155 any restrictions...).
156 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
157
158 3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
159 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
160 up the Coro implementation in general.
161 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
162 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
163 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
164
165 2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
166 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
167
168 2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
169 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
170 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
171
172 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
173 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
174 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
175 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
176 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
177 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
178 (except when Event or EV are installed).
179
180 2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
181 - fix bug in testsuite.
182 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
183 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
184
185 2.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
186 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
187 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
188 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
189
190 2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
191 - work around a perl bug that results in
192 BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
193 any discernible reason or error message by once
194 again not use'ing strict.
195
196 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
197 - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
198
199 2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
200 - child watchers stopped working permanently when
201 all current child watchers were destroyed.
202
203 2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
204 - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
205 true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
206
207 2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
208 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
209 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
210 - implement signal watchers (experimental)
211 (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
212 so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
213 - implement child watchers (experimental).
214 - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
215 most implementation modules.
216
217 2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
218 - better docs.
219 - simple testsuite.
220 - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
221
222 2.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
223 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
224 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
225 - EXPERIMENTAL:
226 new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
227 event model.
228 - improved documentation.
229 - reduced cpu overhead.
230
231 1.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006
232 - add COPYING to clarify license.
233
234 1.01 Sun Jan 8 05:48:09 CET 2006
235 - correctly cancel Event timers, avoid memory leaks.
236
237 1.0 Sun Jan 8 05:40:58 CET 2006
238 - allow third-party interfaces to be added at runtime.
239 - fix version number.
240
241 0.9 Fri Dec 30 02:25:41 CET 2005
242 - fixed errors in the documentation.
243 - going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
244 as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
245 this method.
246 - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
247 and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
248 glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
249 (older) versions of glib.
250 - implemented PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE env variable.
251
252 0.3 Sun Dec 4 10:43:33 CET 2005
253 - no changes to the code.
254 - fixed documentation.
255 - clarified some corner cases.
256 - vastly improved documentation with a long example.
257
258 0.2 Thu Dec 1 22:18:49 CET 2005
259 - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
260 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
261 - don't die when some modules are not available.
262 - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works.
263
264 0.1 Thu Dec 1 19:44:57 CET 2005
265 - spiced up and cleaned up for release.
266
267 0.01 Tue Sep 21 18:12:09 CEST 2004
268 - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
269
