1 Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2
3 4.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
4 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
5 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
6 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
7 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
8 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
9 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
10 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
11 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
12 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
13
14 4.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
15 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
16 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
17 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
18 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
19 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
20
21 4.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
22 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
23 and set it on the default resolver.
24 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
25 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
26 when running in tainted mode.
27 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
28
29 4.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
30 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
31
32 4.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
33 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
34 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
35 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
36 destructors.
37 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
38 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
39 implementation.
40 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
41 for cosmetic reasons.
42
43 4.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
44 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
45 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
46 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
47 - sped up Tk timer handling.
48 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
49 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
50 - fix Qt timers without interval.
51 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
52
53 4.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
54 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
55 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
56 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
57
58 4.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
59 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
60 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
61 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
62 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
63
64 4.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
65 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
66 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
67 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
68 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
69 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
70 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
71 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
72 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
73 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
74 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
75 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
76
77 4.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
78 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
79 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
80 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
81 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
82 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
83 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
84 backend.
85 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
86
87 4.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
88 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
89 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
90 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
91 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
92 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
93 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
94
95 4.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
96 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
97 illegal.
98 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
99 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
100 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
101 by Adam Rosenstein).
102 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
103 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
104 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
105
106 4.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
107 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
108 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
109 the socket type.
110 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
111
112 4.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
113 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
114 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
115 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
116 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
117 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
118 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
119
120 4.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
121 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
122 unless one has been installed already.
123 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
124 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
125 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
126 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
127 client would first wait for some data by the server and
128 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
129 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
130 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
131 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
132 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
133 Rosenstein).
134 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
135 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
136 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
137 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
138 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
139 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
140 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
141 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
142 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
143 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
144 now, more to come, though.
145 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
146
147 4.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
148 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
149 no trace events.
150 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
151 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
152 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
153 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
154 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
155 Time::HiRes).
156
157 4.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
158 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
159 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
160
161 4.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
162 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
163 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
164 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
165 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
166
167 4.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
168 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
169 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
170 perls without resource leaks or worse).
171
172 4.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
173 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
174 the callback.
175 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
176 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
177 eol marker.
178 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
179 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
180 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
181
182 4.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
183 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
184 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
185 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
186 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
187 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
188
189 4.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
190 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
191 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
192 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
193 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
194 unusable way.
195 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
196 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
197 K. Sharifulin).
198
199 4.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
200 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
201 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
202 be delayed under some circumstances.
203 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
204 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
205 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
206 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
207 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
208 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
209
210 4.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
211 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
212 assumption that all data could be written before read
213 (reported by Jim Razmus).
214
215 4.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
216 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
217 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
218 implementation (also affected child watchers).
219 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
220
221 4.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
222 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
223 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
224 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
225
226 4.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
227 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
228 works.
229
230 4.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
231 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
232 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
233 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
234 for AnyEvent::Handle.
235 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
236 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
237
238 4.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
239 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
240 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
241 executing the guard block as warnings.
242 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
243
244 4.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
245 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
246 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
247 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
248 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
249 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
250 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
251 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
252 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
253 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
254 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
255 enter an endless loop.
256 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
257 busy again after idling.
258 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
259 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
260 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
261 (hopefully).
262 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
263 away any time.
264
265 4.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
266 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
267 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
268 - allow more options in on_error.
269
270 4.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
271 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
272 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
273 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
274 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
275 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
276 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
277 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
278 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
279 rfc 2782.
280 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
281 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
282 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
283 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
284 could die. this has been fixed.
285 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
286 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
287 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
288 for resolver class.
289 - update version numbers in all modules.
290
291 4.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
292 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
293 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
294 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
295 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
296 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
297 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
298 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
299 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
300 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
301 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
302 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
303 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
304 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
305 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
306 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
307 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
308 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
309 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
310 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
311 but EV also works around this).
312 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
313 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
314 vs. callback arguments.
315 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
316
317 4.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
318 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
319 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
320 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
321 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
322
323 4.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
324 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
325 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
326 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
327 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
328 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
329 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
330 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
331 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
332 sake of perl 5.8.
333 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
334 (still a hack...)
335 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
336 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
337 die handlers.
338
339 4.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
340 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
341 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
342 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
343 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
344 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
345 - updated documentation.
346 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
347 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
348 in AnyEvent::Handle.
349 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
350 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
351 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
352 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
353
354 4.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
355 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
356 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
357 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
358 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
359 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
360 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
361 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
362 verbatim ip addresses.
363 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
364 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
365 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
366 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
367 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
368 become writable until empty.
369 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
370 returns ENOTCONN.
371 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
372 override.
373 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
374
375 3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
376 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
377 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
378 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
379 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
380 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
381 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
382 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
383 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
384 first and second argument.
385 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
386 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
387 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
388 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
389 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
390
391 3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
392 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
393
394 3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
395 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
396 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
397 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
398 (still subject to change).
399 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
400 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
401 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
402 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
403 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
404 via Coro::AnyEvent.
405
406 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
407 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
408 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
409 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
410 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
411 the different event loops with each other.
412 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
413 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
414 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
415 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
416 kept alive.
417 - document the race between loading of an event module and
418 child processes exiting.
419 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
420 enough, and darn slow).
421 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
422 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
423 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
424 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
425 faster than Event and Glib :).
426 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
427 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
428 to other event loops where possible.
429
430 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
431 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
432 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
433 for the same fh/poll combo).
434 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
435 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
436 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
437 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
438 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
439
440 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
441 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
442 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
443 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
444 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
445 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
446 - do not send the signal to the process group
447 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
448
449 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
450 - major documentation rework.
451 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
452 - fix the child watcher example.
453
454 3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
455 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
456 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
457 don't get fixed anytime soon).
458 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
459 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
460 such strong limits).
461 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
462 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
463 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
464 any restrictions...).
465 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
466
467 3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
468 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
469 up the Coro implementation in general.
470 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
471 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
472 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
473
474 2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
475 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
476
477 2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
478 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
479 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
480
481 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
482 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
483 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
484 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
485 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
486 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
487 (except when Event or EV are installed).
488
489 2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
490 - fix bug in testsuite.
491 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
492 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
493
494 2.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
495 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
496 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
497 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
498
499 2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
500 - work around a perl bug that results in
501 BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
502 any discernible reason or error message by once
503 again not use'ing strict.
504
505 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
506 - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
507
508 2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
509 - child watchers stopped working permanently when
510 all current child watchers were destroyed.
511
512 2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
513 - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
514 true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
515
516 2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
517 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
518 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
519 - implement signal watchers (experimental)
520 (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
521 so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
522 - implement child watchers (experimental).
523 - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
524 most implementation modules.
525
526 2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
527 - better docs.
528 - simple testsuite.
529 - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
530
531 2.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
532 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
533 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
534 - EXPERIMENTAL:
535 new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
536 event model.
537 - improved documentation.
538 - reduced cpu overhead.
539
540 1.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006
541 - add COPYING to clarify license.
542
543 1.01 Sun Jan 8 05:48:09 CET 2006
544 - correctly cancel Event timers, avoid memory leaks.
545
546 1.0 Sun Jan 8 05:40:58 CET 2006
547 - allow third-party interfaces to be added at runtime.
548 - fix version number.
549
550 0.9 Fri Dec 30 02:25:41 CET 2005
551 - fixed errors in the documentation.
552 - going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
553 as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
554 this method.
555 - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
556 and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
557 glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
558 (older) versions of glib.
559 - implemented PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE env variable.
560
561 0.3 Sun Dec 4 10:43:33 CET 2005
562 - no changes to the code.
563 - fixed documentation.
564 - clarified some corner cases.
565 - vastly improved documentation with a long example.
566
567 0.2 Thu Dec 1 22:18:49 CET 2005
568 - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
569 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
570 - don't die when some modules are not available.
571 - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works.
572
573 0.1 Thu Dec 1 19:44:57 CET 2005
574 - spiced up and cleaned up for release.
575
576 0.01 Tue Sep 21 18:12:09 CEST 2004
577 - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
578
