1 Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2
3 ZERO_RETURN - stoptls?
4 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
5 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
6 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
7 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
8 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
9 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
10 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
11 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
12 in the common case.
13 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
14 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
15 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
16 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
17 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
18 from the constructor.
19 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
20 then fall back to JSON.
21
22 4.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
23 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
24 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
25
26 4.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
27 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
28 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
29 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
30 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
31 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
32 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
33 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
34 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
35 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
36
37 4.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
38 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
39 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
40 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
41 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
42 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
43
44 4.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
45 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
46 and set it on the default resolver.
47 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
48 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
49 when running in tainted mode.
50 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
51
52 4.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
53 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
54
55 4.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
56 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
57 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
58 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
59 destructors.
60 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
61 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
62 implementation.
63 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
64 for cosmetic reasons.
65
66 4.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
67 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
68 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
69 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
70 - sped up Tk timer handling.
71 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
72 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
73 - fix Qt timers without interval.
74 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
75
76 4.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
77 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
78 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
79 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
80
81 4.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
82 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
83 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
84 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
85 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
86
87 4.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
88 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
89 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
90 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
91 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
92 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
93 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
94 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
95 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
96 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
97 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
98 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
99
100 4.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
101 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
102 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
103 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
104 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
105 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
106 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
107 backend.
108 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
109
110 4.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
111 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
112 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
113 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
114 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
115 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
116 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
117
118 4.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
119 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
120 illegal.
121 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
122 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
123 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
124 by Adam Rosenstein).
125 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
126 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
127 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
128
129 4.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
130 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
131 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
132 the socket type.
133 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
134
135 4.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
136 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
137 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
138 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
139 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
140 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
141 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
142
143 4.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
144 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
145 unless one has been installed already.
146 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
147 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
148 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
149 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
150 client would first wait for some data by the server and
151 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
152 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
153 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
154 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
155 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
156 Rosenstein).
157 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
158 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
159 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
160 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
161 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
162 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
163 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
164 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
165 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
166 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
167 now, more to come, though.
168 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
169
170 4.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
171 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
172 no trace events.
173 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
174 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
175 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
176 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
177 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
178 Time::HiRes).
179
180 4.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
181 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
182 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
183
184 4.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
185 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
186 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
187 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
188 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
189
190 4.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
191 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
192 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
193 perls without resource leaks or worse).
194
195 4.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
196 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
197 the callback.
198 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
199 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
200 eol marker.
201 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
202 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
203 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
204
205 4.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
206 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
207 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
208 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
209 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
210 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
211
212 4.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
213 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
214 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
215 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
216 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
217 unusable way.
218 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
219 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
220 K. Sharifulin).
221
222 4.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
223 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
224 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
225 be delayed under some circumstances.
226 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
227 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
228 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
229 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
230 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
231 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
232
233 4.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
234 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
235 assumption that all data could be written before read
236 (reported by Jim Razmus).
237
238 4.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
239 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
240 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
241 implementation (also affected child watchers).
242 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
243
244 4.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
245 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
246 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
247 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
248
249 4.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
250 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
251 works.
252
253 4.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
254 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
255 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
256 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
257 for AnyEvent::Handle.
258 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
259 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
260
261 4.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
262 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
263 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
264 executing the guard block as warnings.
265 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
266
267 4.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
268 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
269 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
270 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
271 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
272 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
273 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
274 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
275 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
276 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
277 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
278 enter an endless loop.
279 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
280 busy again after idling.
281 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
282 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
283 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
284 (hopefully).
285 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
286 away any time.
287
288 4.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
289 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
290 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
291 - allow more options in on_error.
292
293 4.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
294 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
295 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
296 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
297 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
298 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
299 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
300 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
301 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
302 rfc 2782.
303 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
304 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
305 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
306 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
307 could die. this has been fixed.
308 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
309 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
310 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
311 for resolver class.
312 - update version numbers in all modules.
313
314 4.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
315 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
316 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
317 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
318 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
319 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
320 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
321 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
322 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
323 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
324 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
325 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
326 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
327 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
328 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
329 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
330 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
331 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
332 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
333 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
334 but EV also works around this).
335 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
336 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
337 vs. callback arguments.
338 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
339
340 4.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
341 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
342 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
343 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
344 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
345
346 4.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
347 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
348 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
349 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
350 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
351 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
352 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
353 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
354 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
355 sake of perl 5.8.
356 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
357 (still a hack...)
358 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
359 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
360 die handlers.
361
362 4.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
363 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
364 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
365 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
366 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
367 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
368 - updated documentation.
369 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
370 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
371 in AnyEvent::Handle.
372 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
373 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
374 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
375 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
376
377 4.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
378 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
379 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
380 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
381 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
382 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
383 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
384 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
385 verbatim ip addresses.
386 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
387 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
388 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
389 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
390 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
391 become writable until empty.
392 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
393 returns ENOTCONN.
394 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
395 override.
396 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
397
398 3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
399 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
400 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
401 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
402 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
403 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
404 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
405 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
406 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
407 first and second argument.
408 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
409 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
410 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
411 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
412 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
413
414 3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
415 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
416
417 3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
418 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
419 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
420 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
421 (still subject to change).
422 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
423 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
424 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
425 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
426 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
427 via Coro::AnyEvent.
428
429 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
430 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
431 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
432 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
433 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
434 the different event loops with each other.
435 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
436 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
437 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
438 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
439 kept alive.
440 - document the race between loading of an event module and
441 child processes exiting.
442 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
443 enough, and darn slow).
444 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
445 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
446 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
447 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
448 faster than Event and Glib :).
449 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
450 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
451 to other event loops where possible.
452
453 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
454 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
455 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
456 for the same fh/poll combo).
457 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
458 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
459 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
460 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
461 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
462
463 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
464 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
465 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
466 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
467 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
468 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
469 - do not send the signal to the process group
470 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
471
472 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
473 - major documentation rework.
474 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
475 - fix the child watcher example.
476
477 3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
478 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
479 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
480 don't get fixed anytime soon).
481 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
482 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
483 such strong limits).
484 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
485 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
486 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
487 any restrictions...).
488 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
489
490 3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
491 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
492 up the Coro implementation in general.
493 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
494 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
495 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
496
497 2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
498 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
499
500 2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
501 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
502 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
503
504 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
505 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
506 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
507 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
508 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
509 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
510 (except when Event or EV are installed).
511
512 2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
513 - fix bug in testsuite.
514 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
515 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
516
517 2.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
518 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
519 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
520 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
521
522 2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
523 - work around a perl bug that results in
524 BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
525 any discernible reason or error message by once
526 again not use'ing strict.
527
528 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
529 - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
530
531 2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
532 - child watchers stopped working permanently when
533 all current child watchers were destroyed.
534
535 2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
536 - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
537 true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
538
539 2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
540 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
541 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
542 - implement signal watchers (experimental)
543 (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
544 so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
545 - implement child watchers (experimental).
546 - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
547 most implementation modules.
548
549 2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
550 - better docs.
551 - simple testsuite.
552 - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
553
554 2.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
555 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
556 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
557 - EXPERIMENTAL:
558 new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
559 event model.
560 - improved documentation.
561 - reduced cpu overhead.
562
563 1.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006
564 - add COPYING to clarify license.
565
566 1.01 Sun Jan 8 05:48:09 CET 2006
567 - correctly cancel Event timers, avoid memory leaks.
568
569 1.0 Sun Jan 8 05:40:58 CET 2006
570 - allow third-party interfaces to be added at runtime.
571 - fix version number.
572
573 0.9 Fri Dec 30 02:25:41 CET 2005
574 - fixed errors in the documentation.
575 - going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
576 as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
577 this method.
578 - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
579 and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
580 glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
581 (older) versions of glib.
582 - implemented PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE env variable.
583
584 0.3 Sun Dec 4 10:43:33 CET 2005
585 - no changes to the code.
586 - fixed documentation.
587 - clarified some corner cases.
588 - vastly improved documentation with a long example.
589
590 0.2 Thu Dec 1 22:18:49 CET 2005
591 - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
592 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
593 - don't die when some modules are not available.
594 - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works.
595
596 0.1 Thu Dec 1 19:44:57 CET 2005
597 - spiced up and cleaned up for release.
598
599 0.01 Tue Sep 21 18:12:09 CEST 2004
600 - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
601
