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

461 3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
462 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
463 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
464 don't get fixed anytime soon).
465 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
466 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
467 such strong limits).
468 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
469 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
470 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
471 any restrictions...).
472 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
473
474 3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
475 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
476 up the Coro implementation in general.
477 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
478 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
479 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
480
481 2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
482 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
483
484 2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
485 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
486 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
487
488 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
489 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
490 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
491 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
492 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
493 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
494 (except when Event or EV are installed).
495
496 2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
497 - fix bug in testsuite.
498 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
499 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
500
501 2.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
502 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
503 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
504 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
505
506 2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
507 - work around a perl bug that results in
508 BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
509 any discernible reason or error message by once
510 again not use'ing strict.
511
512 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
513 - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
514
515 2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
516 - child watchers stopped working permanently when
517 all current child watchers were destroyed.
518
519 2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
520 - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
521 true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
522
523 2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
524 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
525 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
526 - implement signal watchers (experimental)
527 (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
528 so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
529 - implement child watchers (experimental).
530 - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
531 most implementation modules.
532
533 2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
534 - better docs.
535 - simple testsuite.
536 - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
537
538 2.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
539 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
540 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
541 - EXPERIMENTAL:
542 new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
543 event model.
544 - improved documentation.
545 - reduced cpu overhead.
546
547 1.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006
548 - add COPYING to clarify license.
549
550 1.01 Sun Jan 8 05:48:09 CET 2006
551 - correctly cancel Event timers, avoid memory leaks.
552
553 1.0 Sun Jan 8 05:40:58 CET 2006
554 - allow third-party interfaces to be added at runtime.
555 - fix version number.
556
557 0.9 Fri Dec 30 02:25:41 CET 2005
558 - fixed errors in the documentation.
559 - going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
560 as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
561 this method.
562 - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
563 and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
564 glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
565 (older) versions of glib.
566 - implemented PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE env variable.
567
568 0.3 Sun Dec 4 10:43:33 CET 2005
569 - no changes to the code.
570 - fixed documentation.
571 - clarified some corner cases.
572 - vastly improved documentation with a long example.
573
574 0.2 Thu Dec 1 22:18:49 CET 2005
575 - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
576 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
577 - don't die when some modules are not available.
578 - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works.
579
580 0.1 Thu Dec 1 19:44:57 CET 2005
581 - spiced up and cleaned up for release.
582
583 0.01 Tue Sep 21 18:12:09 CEST 2004
584 - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
