1 Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2
3 ZERO_RETURN - stoptls?
4 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
5 uppercase targets.
6 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
7 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
8 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
9 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
10 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
11 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
12 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
13 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
14 in the common case.
15 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
16 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
17 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
18 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
19 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
20 from the constructor.
21 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
22 then fall back to JSON.
23
24 4.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
25 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
26 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
27
28 4.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
29 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
30 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
31 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
32 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
33 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
34 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
35 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
36 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
37 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
38
39 4.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
40 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
41 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
42 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
43 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
44 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
45
46 4.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
47 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
48 and set it on the default resolver.
49 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
50 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
51 when running in tainted mode.
52 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
53
54 4.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
55 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
56
57 4.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
58 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
59 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
60 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
61 destructors.
62 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
63 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
64 implementation.
65 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
66 for cosmetic reasons.
67
68 4.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
69 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
70 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
71 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
72 - sped up Tk timer handling.
73 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
74 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
75 - fix Qt timers without interval.
76 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
77
78 4.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
79 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
80 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
81 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
82
83 4.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
84 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
85 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
86 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
87 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
88
89 4.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
90 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
91 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
92 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
93 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
94 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
95 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
96 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
97 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
98 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
99 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
100 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
101
102 4.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
103 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
104 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
105 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
106 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
107 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
108 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
109 backend.
110 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
111
112 4.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
113 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
114 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
115 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
116 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
117 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
118 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
119
120 4.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
121 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
122 illegal.
123 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
124 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
125 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
126 by Adam Rosenstein).
127 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
128 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
129 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
130
131 4.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
132 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
133 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
134 the socket type.
135 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
136
137 4.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
138 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
139 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
140 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
141 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
142 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
143 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
144
145 4.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
146 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
147 unless one has been installed already.
148 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
149 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
150 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
151 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
152 client would first wait for some data by the server and
153 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
154 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
155 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
156 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
157 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
158 Rosenstein).
159 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
160 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
161 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
162 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
163 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
164 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
165 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
166 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
167 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
168 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
169 now, more to come, though.
170 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
171
172 4.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
173 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
174 no trace events.
175 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
176 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
177 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
178 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
179 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
180 Time::HiRes).
181
182 4.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
183 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
184 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
185
186 4.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
187 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
188 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
189 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
190 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
191
192 4.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
193 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
194 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
195 perls without resource leaks or worse).
196
197 4.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
198 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
199 the callback.
200 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
201 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
202 eol marker.
203 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
204 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
205 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
206
207 4.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
208 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
209 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
210 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
211 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
212 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
213
214 4.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
215 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
216 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
217 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
218 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
219 unusable way.
220 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
221 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
222 K. Sharifulin).
223
224 4.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
225 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
226 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
227 be delayed under some circumstances.
228 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
229 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
230 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
231 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
232 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
233 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
234
235 4.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
236 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
237 assumption that all data could be written before read
238 (reported by Jim Razmus).
239
240 4.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
241 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
242 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
243 implementation (also affected child watchers).
244 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
245
246 4.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
247 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
248 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
249 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
250
251 4.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
252 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
253 works.
254
255 4.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
256 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
257 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
258 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
259 for AnyEvent::Handle.
260 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
261 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
262
263 4.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
264 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
265 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
266 executing the guard block as warnings.
267 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
268
269 4.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
270 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
271 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
272 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
273 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
274 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
275 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
276 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
277 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
278 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
279 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
280 enter an endless loop.
281 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
282 busy again after idling.
283 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
284 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
285 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
286 (hopefully).
287 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
288 away any time.
289
290 4.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
291 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
292 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
293 - allow more options in on_error.
294
295 4.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
296 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
297 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
298 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
299 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
300 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
301 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
302 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
303 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
304 rfc 2782.
305 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
306 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
307 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
308 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
309 could die. this has been fixed.
310 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
311 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
312 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
313 for resolver class.
314 - update version numbers in all modules.
315
316 4.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
317 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
318 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
319 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
320 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
321 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
322 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
323 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
324 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
325 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
326 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
327 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
328 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
329 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
330 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
331 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
332 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
333 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
334 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
335 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
336 but EV also works around this).
337 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
338 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
339 vs. callback arguments.
340 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
341
342 4.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
343 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
344 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
345 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
346 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
347
348 4.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
349 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
350 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
351 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
352 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
353 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
354 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
355 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
356 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
357 sake of perl 5.8.
358 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
359 (still a hack...)
360 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
361 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
362 die handlers.
363
364 4.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
365 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
366 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
367 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
368 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
369 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
370 - updated documentation.
371 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
372 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
373 in AnyEvent::Handle.
374 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
375 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
376 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
377 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
378
379 4.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
380 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
381 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
382 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
383 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
384 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
385 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
386 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
387 verbatim ip addresses.
388 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
389 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
390 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
391 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
392 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
393 become writable until empty.
394 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
395 returns ENOTCONN.
396 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
397 override.
398 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
399
400 3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
401 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
402 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
403 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
404 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
405 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
406 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
407 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
408 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
409 first and second argument.
410 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
411 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
412 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
413 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
414 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
415
416 3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
417 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
418
419 3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
420 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
421 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
422 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
423 (still subject to change).
424 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
425 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
426 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
427 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
428 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
429 via Coro::AnyEvent.
430
431 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
432 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
433 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
434 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
435 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
436 the different event loops with each other.
437 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
438 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
439 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
440 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
441 kept alive.
442 - document the race between loading of an event module and
443 child processes exiting.
444 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
445 enough, and darn slow).
446 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
447 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
448 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
449 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
450 faster than Event and Glib :).
451 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
452 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
453 to other event loops where possible.
454
455 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
456 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
457 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
458 for the same fh/poll combo).
459 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
460 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
461 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
462 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
463 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
464
465 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
466 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
467 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
468 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
469 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
470 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
471 - do not send the signal to the process group
472 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
473
474 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
475 - major documentation rework.
476 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
477 - fix the child watcher example.
478
479 3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
480 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
481 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
482 don't get fixed anytime soon).
483 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
484 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
485 such strong limits).
486 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
487 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
488 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
489 any restrictions...).
490 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
491
492 3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
493 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
494 up the Coro implementation in general.
495 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
496 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
497 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
498
499 2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
500 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
501
502 2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
503 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
504 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
505
506 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
507 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
508 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
509 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
510 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
511 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
512 (except when Event or EV are installed).
513
514 2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
515 - fix bug in testsuite.
516 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
517 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
518
519 2.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
520 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
521 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
522 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
523
524 2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
525 - work around a perl bug that results in
526 BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
527 any discernible reason or error message by once
528 again not use'ing strict.
529
530 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
531 - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
532
533 2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
534 - child watchers stopped working permanently when
535 all current child watchers were destroyed.
536
537 2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
538 - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
539 true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
540
541 2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
542 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
543 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
544 - implement signal watchers (experimental)
545 (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
546 so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
547 - implement child watchers (experimental).
548 - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
549 most implementation modules.
550
551 2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
552 - better docs.
553 - simple testsuite.
554 - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
555
556 2.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
557 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
558 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
559 - EXPERIMENTAL:
560 new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
561 event model.
562 - improved documentation.
563 - reduced cpu overhead.
564
565 1.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006
566 - add COPYING to clarify license.
567
568 1.01 Sun Jan 8 05:48:09 CET 2006
569 - correctly cancel Event timers, avoid memory leaks.
570
571 1.0 Sun Jan 8 05:40:58 CET 2006
572 - allow third-party interfaces to be added at runtime.
573 - fix version number.
574
575 0.9 Fri Dec 30 02:25:41 CET 2005
576 - fixed errors in the documentation.
577 - going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
578 as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
579 this method.
580 - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
581 and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
582 glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
583 (older) versions of glib.
584 - implemented PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE env variable.
585
586 0.3 Sun Dec 4 10:43:33 CET 2005
587 - no changes to the code.
588 - fixed documentation.
589 - clarified some corner cases.
590 - vastly improved documentation with a long example.
591
592 0.2 Thu Dec 1 22:18:49 CET 2005
593 - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
594 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
595 - don't die when some modules are not available.
596 - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works.
597
598 0.1 Thu Dec 1 19:44:57 CET 2005
599 - spiced up and cleaned up for release.
600
601 0.01 Tue Sep 21 18:12:09 CEST 2004
602 - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
603
