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 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
7 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
8 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
9 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
10 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
11 from the constructor.
12
13 4.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
14 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
15 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
16
17 4.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
18 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
19 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
20 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
21 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
22 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
23 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
24 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
25 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
26 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
27
28 4.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
29 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
30 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
31 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
32 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
33 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
34
35 4.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
36 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
37 and set it on the default resolver.
38 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
39 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
40 when running in tainted mode.
41 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
42
43 4.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
44 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
45
46 4.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
47 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
48 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
49 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
50 destructors.
51 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
52 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
53 implementation.
54 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
55 for cosmetic reasons.
56
57 4.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
58 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
59 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
60 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
61 - sped up Tk timer handling.
62 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
63 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
64 - fix Qt timers without interval.
65 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
66
67 4.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
68 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
69 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
70 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
71
72 4.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
73 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
74 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
75 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
76 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
77
78 4.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
79 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
80 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
81 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
82 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
83 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
84 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
85 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
86 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
87 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
88 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
89 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
90
91 4.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
92 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
93 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
94 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
95 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
96 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
97 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
98 backend.
99 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
100
101 4.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
102 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
103 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
104 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
105 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
106 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
107 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
108
109 4.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
110 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
111 illegal.
112 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
113 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
114 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
115 by Adam Rosenstein).
116 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
117 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
118 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
119
120 4.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
121 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
122 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
123 the socket type.
124 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
125
126 4.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
127 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
128 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
129 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
130 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
131 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
132 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
133
134 4.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
135 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
136 unless one has been installed already.
137 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
138 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
139 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
140 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
141 client would first wait for some data by the server and
142 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
143 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
144 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
145 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
146 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
147 Rosenstein).
148 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
149 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
150 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
151 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
152 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
153 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
154 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
155 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
156 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
157 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
158 now, more to come, though.
159 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
160
161 4.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
162 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
163 no trace events.
164 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
165 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
166 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
167 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
168 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
169 Time::HiRes).
170
171 4.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
172 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
173 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
174
175 4.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
176 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
177 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
178 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
179 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
180
181 4.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
182 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
183 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
184 perls without resource leaks or worse).
185
186 4.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
187 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
188 the callback.
189 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
190 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
191 eol marker.
192 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
193 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
194 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
195
196 4.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
197 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
198 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
199 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
200 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
201 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
202
203 4.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
204 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
205 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
206 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
207 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
208 unusable way.
209 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
210 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
211 K. Sharifulin).
212
213 4.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
214 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
215 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
216 be delayed under some circumstances.
217 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
218 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
219 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
220 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
221 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
222 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
223
224 4.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
225 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
226 assumption that all data could be written before read
227 (reported by Jim Razmus).
228
229 4.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
230 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
231 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
232 implementation (also affected child watchers).
233 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
234
235 4.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
236 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
237 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
238 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
239
240 4.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
241 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
242 works.
243
244 4.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
245 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
246 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
247 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
248 for AnyEvent::Handle.
249 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
250 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
251
252 4.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
253 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
254 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
255 executing the guard block as warnings.
256 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
257
258 4.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
259 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
260 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
261 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
262 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
263 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
264 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
265 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
266 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
267 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
268 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
269 enter an endless loop.
270 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
271 busy again after idling.
272 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
273 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
274 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
275 (hopefully).
276 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
277 away any time.
278
279 4.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
280 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
281 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
282 - allow more options in on_error.
283
284 4.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
285 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
286 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
287 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
288 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
289 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
290 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
291 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
292 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
293 rfc 2782.
294 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
295 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
296 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
297 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
298 could die. this has been fixed.
299 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
300 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
301 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
302 for resolver class.
303 - update version numbers in all modules.
304
305 4.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
306 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
307 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
308 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
309 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
310 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
311 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
312 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
313 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
314 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
315 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
316 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
317 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
318 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
319 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
320 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
321 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
322 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
323 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
324 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
325 but EV also works around this).
326 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
327 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
328 vs. callback arguments.
329 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
330
331 4.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
332 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
333 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
334 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
335 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
336
337 4.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
338 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
339 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
340 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
341 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
342 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
343 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
344 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
345 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
346 sake of perl 5.8.
347 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
348 (still a hack...)
349 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
350 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
351 die handlers.
352
353 4.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
354 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
355 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
356 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
357 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
358 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
359 - updated documentation.
360 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
361 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
362 in AnyEvent::Handle.
363 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
364 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
365 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
366 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
367
368 4.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
369 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
370 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
371 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
372 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
373 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
374 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
375 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
376 verbatim ip addresses.
377 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
378 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
379 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
380 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
381 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
382 become writable until empty.
383 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
384 returns ENOTCONN.
385 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
386 override.
387 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
388
389 3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
390 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
391 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
392 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
393 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
394 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
395 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
396 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
397 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
398 first and second argument.
399 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
400 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
401 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
402 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
403 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
404
405 3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
406 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
407
408 3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
409 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
410 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
411 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
412 (still subject to change).
413 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
414 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
415 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
416 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
417 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
418 via Coro::AnyEvent.
419
420 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
421 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
422 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
423 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
424 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
425 the different event loops with each other.
426 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
427 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
428 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
429 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
430 kept alive.
431 - document the race between loading of an event module and
432 child processes exiting.
433 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
434 enough, and darn slow).
435 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
436 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
437 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
438 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
439 faster than Event and Glib :).
440 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
441 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
442 to other event loops where possible.
443
444 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
445 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
446 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
447 for the same fh/poll combo).
448 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
449 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
450 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
451 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
452 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
453
454 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
455 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
456 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
457 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
458 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
459 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
460 - do not send the signal to the process group
461 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
462
463 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
464 - major documentation rework.
465 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
466 - fix the child watcher example.
467
468 3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
469 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
470 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
471 don't get fixed anytime soon).
472 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
473 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
474 such strong limits).
475 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
476 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
477 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
478 any restrictions...).
479 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
480
481 3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
482 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
483 up the Coro implementation in general.
484 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
485 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
486 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
487
488 2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
489 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
490
491 2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
492 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
493 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
494
495 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
496 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
497 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
498 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
499 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
500 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
501 (except when Event or EV are installed).
502
503 2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
504 - fix bug in testsuite.
505 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
506 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
507
508 2.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
509 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
510 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
511 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
512
513 2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
514 - work around a perl bug that results in
515 BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
516 any discernible reason or error message by once
517 again not use'ing strict.
518
519 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
520 - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
521
522 2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
523 - child watchers stopped working permanently when
524 all current child watchers were destroyed.
525
526 2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
527 - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
528 true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
529
530 2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
531 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
532 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
533 - implement signal watchers (experimental)
534 (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
535 so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
536 - implement child watchers (experimental).
537 - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
538 most implementation modules.
539
540 2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
541 - better docs.
542 - simple testsuite.
543 - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
544
545 2.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
546 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
547 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
548 - EXPERIMENTAL:
549 new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
550 event model.
551 - improved documentation.
552 - reduced cpu overhead.
553
554 1.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006
555 - add COPYING to clarify license.
556
557 1.01 Sun Jan 8 05:48:09 CET 2006
558 - correctly cancel Event timers, avoid memory leaks.
559
560 1.0 Sun Jan 8 05:40:58 CET 2006
561 - allow third-party interfaces to be added at runtime.
562 - fix version number.
563
564 0.9 Fri Dec 30 02:25:41 CET 2005
565 - fixed errors in the documentation.
566 - going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
567 as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
568 this method.
569 - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
570 and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
571 glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
572 (older) versions of glib.
573 - implemented PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE env variable.
574
575 0.3 Sun Dec 4 10:43:33 CET 2005
576 - no changes to the code.
577 - fixed documentation.
578 - clarified some corner cases.
579 - vastly improved documentation with a long example.
580
581 0.2 Thu Dec 1 22:18:49 CET 2005
582 - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
583 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
584 - don't die when some modules are not available.
585 - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works.
586
587 0.1 Thu Dec 1 19:44:57 CET 2005
588 - spiced up and cleaned up for release.
589
590 0.01 Tue Sep 21 18:12:09 CEST 2004
591 - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
592
