1 Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2
3 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
4 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
5 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
6 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
7 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
8
9 4.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
10 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
11 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
12 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
13 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
14 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
15
16 4.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
17 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
18 and set it on the default resolver.
19 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
20 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
21 when running in tainted mode.
22 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
23
24 4.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
25 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
26
27 4.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
28 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
29 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
30 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
31 destructors.
32 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
33 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
34 implementation.
35 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
36 for cosmetic reasons.
37
38 4.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
39 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
40 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
41 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
42 - sped up Tk timer handling.
43 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
44 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
45 - fix Qt timers without interval.
46 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
47
48 4.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
49 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
50 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
51 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
52
53 4.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
54 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
55 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
56 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
57 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
58
59 4.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
60 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
61 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
62 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
63 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
64 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
65 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
66 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
67 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
68 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
69 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
70 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
71
72 4.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
73 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
74 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
75 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
76 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
77 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
78 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
79 backend.
80 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
81
82 4.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
83 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
84 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
85 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
86 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
87 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
88 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
89
90 4.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
91 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
92 illegal.
93 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
94 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
95 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
96 by Adam Rosenstein).
97 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
98 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
99 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
100
101 4.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
102 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
103 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
104 the socket type.
105 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
106
107 4.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
108 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
109 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
110 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
111 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
112 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
113 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
114
115 4.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
116 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
117 unless one has been installed already.
118 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
119 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
120 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
121 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
122 client would first wait for some data by the server and
123 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
124 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
125 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
126 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
127 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
128 Rosenstein).
129 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
130 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
131 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
132 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
133 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
134 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
135 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
136 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
137 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
138 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
139 now, more to come, though.
140 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
141
142 4.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
143 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
144 no trace events.
145 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
146 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
147 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
148 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
149 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
150 Time::HiRes).
151
152 4.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
153 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
154 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
155
156 4.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
157 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
158 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
159 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
160 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
161
162 4.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
163 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
164 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
165 perls without resource leaks or worse).
166
167 4.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
168 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
169 the callback.
170 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
171 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
172 eol marker.
173 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
174 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
175 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
176
177 4.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
178 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
179 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
180 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
181 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
182 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
183
184 4.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
185 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
186 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
187 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
188 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
189 unusable way.
190 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
191 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
192 K. Sharifulin).
193
194 4.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
195 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
196 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
197 be delayed under some circumstances.
198 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
199 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
200 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
201 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
202 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
203 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
204
205 4.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
206 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
207 assumption that all data could be written before read
208 (reported by Jim Razmus).
209
210 4.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
211 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
212 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
213 implementation (also affected child watchers).
214 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
215
216 4.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
217 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
218 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
219 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
220
221 4.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
222 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
223 works.
224
225 4.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
226 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
227 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
228 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
229 for AnyEvent::Handle.
230 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
231 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
232
233 4.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
234 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
235 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
236 executing the guard block as warnings.
237 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
238
239 4.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
240 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
241 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
242 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
243 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
244 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
245 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
246 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
247 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
248 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
249 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
250 enter an endless loop.
251 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
252 busy again after idling.
253 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
254 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
255 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
256 (hopefully).
257 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
258 away any time.
259
260 4.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
261 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
262 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
263 - allow more options in on_error.
264
265 4.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
266 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
267 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
268 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
269 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
270 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
271 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
272 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
273 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
274 rfc 2782.
275 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
276 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
277 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
278 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
279 could die. this has been fixed.
280 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
281 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
282 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
283 for resolver class.
284 - update version numbers in all modules.
285
286 4.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
287 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
288 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
289 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
290 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
291 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
292 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
293 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
294 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
295 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
296 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
297 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
298 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
299 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
300 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
301 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
302 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
303 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
304 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
305 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
306 but EV also works around this).
307 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
308 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
309 vs. callback arguments.
310 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
311
312 4.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
313 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
314 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
315 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
316 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
317
318 4.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
319 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
320 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
321 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
322 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
323 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
324 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
325 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
326 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
327 sake of perl 5.8.
328 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
329 (still a hack...)
330 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
331 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
332 die handlers.
333
334 4.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
335 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
336 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
337 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
338 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
339 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
340 - updated documentation.
341 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
342 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
343 in AnyEvent::Handle.
344 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
345 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
346 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
347 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
348
349 4.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
350 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
351 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
352 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
353 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
354 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
355 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
356 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
357 verbatim ip addresses.
358 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
359 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
360 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
361 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
362 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
363 become writable until empty.
364 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
365 returns ENOTCONN.
366 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
367 override.
368 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
369
370 3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
371 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
372 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
373 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
374 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
375 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
376 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
377 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
378 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
379 first and second argument.
380 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
381 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
382 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
383 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
384 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
385
386 3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
387 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
388
389 3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
390 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
391 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
392 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
393 (still subject to change).
394 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
395 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
396 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
397 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
398 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
399 via Coro::AnyEvent.
400
401 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
402 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
403 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
404 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
405 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
406 the different event loops with each other.
407 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
408 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
409 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
410 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
411 kept alive.
412 - document the race between loading of an event module and
413 child processes exiting.
414 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
415 enough, and darn slow).
416 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
417 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
418 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
419 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
420 faster than Event and Glib :).
421 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
422 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
423 to other event loops where possible.
424
425 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
426 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
427 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
428 for the same fh/poll combo).
429 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
430 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
431 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
432 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
433 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
434
435 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
436 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
437 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
438 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
439 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
440 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
441 - do not send the signal to the process group
442 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
443
444 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
445 - major documentation rework.
446 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
447 - fix the child watcher example.
448
449 3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
450 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
451 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
452 don't get fixed anytime soon).
453 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
454 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
455 such strong limits).
456 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
457 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
458 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
459 any restrictions...).
460 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
461
462 3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
463 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
464 up the Coro implementation in general.
465 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
466 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
467 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
468
469 2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
470 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
471
472 2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
473 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
474 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
475
476 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
477 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
478 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
479 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
480 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
481 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
482 (except when Event or EV are installed).
483
484 2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
485 - fix bug in testsuite.
486 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
487 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
488
489 2.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
490 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
491 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
492 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
493
494 2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
495 - work around a perl bug that results in
496 BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
497 any discernible reason or error message by once
498 again not use'ing strict.
499
500 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
501 - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
502
503 2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
504 - child watchers stopped working permanently when
505 all current child watchers were destroyed.
506
507 2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
508 - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
509 true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
510
511 2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
512 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
513 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
514 - implement signal watchers (experimental)
515 (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
516 so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
517 - implement child watchers (experimental).
518 - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
519 most implementation modules.
520
521 2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
522 - better docs.
523 - simple testsuite.
524 - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
525
526 2.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
527 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
528 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
529 - EXPERIMENTAL:
530 new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
531 event model.
532 - improved documentation.
533 - reduced cpu overhead.
534
535 1.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006
536 - add COPYING to clarify license.
537
538 1.01 Sun Jan 8 05:48:09 CET 2006
539 - correctly cancel Event timers, avoid memory leaks.
540
541 1.0 Sun Jan 8 05:40:58 CET 2006
542 - allow third-party interfaces to be added at runtime.
543 - fix version number.
544
545 0.9 Fri Dec 30 02:25:41 CET 2005
546 - fixed errors in the documentation.
547 - going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
548 as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
549 this method.
550 - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
551 and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
552 glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
553 (older) versions of glib.
554 - implemented PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE env variable.
555
556 0.3 Sun Dec 4 10:43:33 CET 2005
557 - no changes to the code.
558 - fixed documentation.
559 - clarified some corner cases.
560 - vastly improved documentation with a long example.
561
562 0.2 Thu Dec 1 22:18:49 CET 2005
563 - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
564 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
565 - don't die when some modules are not available.
566 - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works.
567
568 0.1 Thu Dec 1 19:44:57 CET 2005
569 - spiced up and cleaned up for release.
570
571 0.01 Tue Sep 21 18:12:09 CEST 2004
