1 Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2
3 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
4 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS.
5
6 4.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
7 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
8 uppercase targets.
9 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
10 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
11 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
12 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
13 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
14 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
15 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
16 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
17 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
18 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
19 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
20 in the common case.
21 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
22 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
23 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
24 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
25 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
26 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
27 from the constructor.
28 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
29 then fall back to JSON.
30 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
31 and because it was documented that way.
32
33 4.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
34 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
35 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
36
37 4.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
38 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
39 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
40 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
41 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
42 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
43 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
44 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
45 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
46 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
47
48 4.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
49 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
50 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
51 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
52 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
53 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
54
55 4.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
56 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
57 and set it on the default resolver.
58 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
59 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
60 when running in tainted mode.
61 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
62
63 4.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
64 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
65
66 4.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
67 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
68 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
69 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
70 destructors.
71 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
72 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
73 implementation.
74 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
75 for cosmetic reasons.
76
77 4.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
78 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
79 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
80 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
81 - sped up Tk timer handling.
82 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
83 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
84 - fix Qt timers without interval.
85 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
86
87 4.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
88 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
89 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
90 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
91
92 4.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
93 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
94 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
95 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
96 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
97
98 4.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
99 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
100 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
101 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
102 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
103 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
104 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
105 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
106 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
107 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
108 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
109 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
110
111 4.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
112 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
113 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
114 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
115 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
116 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
117 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
118 backend.
119 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
120
121 4.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
122 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
123 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
124 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
125 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
126 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
127 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
128
129 4.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
130 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
131 illegal.
132 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
133 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
134 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
135 by Adam Rosenstein).
136 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
137 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
138 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
139
140 4.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
141 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
142 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
143 the socket type.
144 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
145
146 4.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
147 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
148 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
149 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
150 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
151 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
152 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
153
154 4.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
155 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
156 unless one has been installed already.
157 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
158 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
159 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
160 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
161 client would first wait for some data by the server and
162 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
163 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
164 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
165 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
166 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
167 Rosenstein).
168 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
169 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
170 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
171 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
172 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
173 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
174 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
175 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
176 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
177 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
178 now, more to come, though.
179 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
180
181 4.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
182 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
183 no trace events.
184 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
185 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
186 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
187 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
188 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
189 Time::HiRes).
190
191 4.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
192 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
193 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
194
195 4.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
196 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
197 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
198 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
199 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
200
201 4.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
202 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
203 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
204 perls without resource leaks or worse).
205
206 4.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
207 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
208 the callback.
209 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
210 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
211 eol marker.
212 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
213 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
214 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
215
216 4.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
217 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
218 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
219 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
220 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
221 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
222
223 4.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
224 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
225 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
226 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
227 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
228 unusable way.
229 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
230 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
231 K. Sharifulin).
232
233 4.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
234 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
235 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
236 be delayed under some circumstances.
237 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
238 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
239 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
240 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
241 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
242 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
243
244 4.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
245 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
246 assumption that all data could be written before read
247 (reported by Jim Razmus).
248
249 4.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
250 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
251 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
252 implementation (also affected child watchers).
253 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
254
255 4.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
256 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
257 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
258 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
259
260 4.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
261 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
262 works.
263
264 4.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
265 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
266 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
267 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
268 for AnyEvent::Handle.
269 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
270 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
271
272 4.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
273 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
274 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
275 executing the guard block as warnings.
276 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
277
278 4.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
279 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
280 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
281 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
282 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
283 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
284 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
285 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
286 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
287 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
288 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
289 enter an endless loop.
290 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
291 busy again after idling.
292 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
293 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
294 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
295 (hopefully).
296 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
297 away any time.
298
299 4.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
300 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
301 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
302 - allow more options in on_error.
303
304 4.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
305 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
306 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
307 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
308 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
309 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
310 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
311 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
312 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
313 rfc 2782.
314 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
315 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
316 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
317 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
318 could die. this has been fixed.
319 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
320 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
321 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
322 for resolver class.
323 - update version numbers in all modules.
324
325 4.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
326 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
327 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
328 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
329 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
330 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
331 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
332 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
333 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
334 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
335 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
336 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
337 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
338 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
339 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
340 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
341 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
342 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
343 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
344 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
345 but EV also works around this).
346 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
347 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
348 vs. callback arguments.
349 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
350
351 4.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
352 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
353 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
354 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
355 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
356
357 4.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
358 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
359 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
360 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
361 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
362 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
363 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
364 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
365 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
366 sake of perl 5.8.
367 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
368 (still a hack...)
369 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
370 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
371 die handlers.
372
373 4.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
374 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
375 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
376 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
377 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
378 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
379 - updated documentation.
380 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
381 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
382 in AnyEvent::Handle.
383 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
384 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
385 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
386 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
387
388 4.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
389 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
390 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
391 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
392 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
393 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
394 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
395 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
396 verbatim ip addresses.
397 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
398 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
399 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
400 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
401 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
402 become writable until empty.
403 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
404 returns ENOTCONN.
405 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
406 override.
407 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
408
409 3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
410 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
411 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
412 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
413 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
414 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
415 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
416 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
417 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
418 first and second argument.
419 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
420 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
421 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
422 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
423 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
424
425 3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
426 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
427
428 3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
429 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
430 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
431 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
432 (still subject to change).
433 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
434 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
435 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
436 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
437 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
438 via Coro::AnyEvent.
439
440 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
441 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
442 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
443 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
444 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
445 the different event loops with each other.
446 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
447 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
448 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
449 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
450 kept alive.
451 - document the race between loading of an event module and
452 child processes exiting.
453 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
454 enough, and darn slow).
455 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
456 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
457 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
458 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
459 faster than Event and Glib :).
460 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
461 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
462 to other event loops where possible.
463
464 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
465 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
466 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
467 for the same fh/poll combo).
468 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
469 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
470 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
471 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
472 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
473
474 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
475 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
476 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
477 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
478 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
479 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
480 - do not send the signal to the process group
481 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
482
483 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
484 - major documentation rework.
485 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
486 - fix the child watcher example.
487
488 3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
489 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
490 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
491 don't get fixed anytime soon).
492 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
493 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
494 such strong limits).
495 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
496 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
497 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
498 any restrictions...).
499 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
500
501 3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
502 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
503 up the Coro implementation in general.
504 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
505 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
506 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
507
508 2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
509 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
510
511 2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
512 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
513 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
514
515 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
516 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
517 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
518 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
519 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
520 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
521 (except when Event or EV are installed).
522
523 2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
524 - fix bug in testsuite.
525 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
526 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
527
528 2.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
529 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
530 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
531 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
532
533 2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
534 - work around a perl bug that results in
535 BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
536 any discernible reason or error message by once
537 again not use'ing strict.
538
539 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
540 - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
541
542 2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
543 - child watchers stopped working permanently when
544 all current child watchers were destroyed.
545
546 2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
547 - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
548 true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
549
550 2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
551 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
552 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
553 - implement signal watchers (experimental)
554 (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
555 so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
556 - implement child watchers (experimental).
557 - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
558 most implementation modules.
559
560 2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
561 - better docs.
562 - simple testsuite.
563 - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
564
565 2.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
566 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
567 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
568 - EXPERIMENTAL:
569 new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
570 event model.
571 - improved documentation.
572 - reduced cpu overhead.
573
574 1.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006
575 - add COPYING to clarify license.
576
577 1.01 Sun Jan 8 05:48:09 CET 2006
578 - correctly cancel Event timers, avoid memory leaks.
579
580 1.0 Sun Jan 8 05:40:58 CET 2006
581 - allow third-party interfaces to be added at runtime.
582 - fix version number.
583
584 0.9 Fri Dec 30 02:25:41 CET 2005
585 - fixed errors in the documentation.
586 - going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
587 as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
588 this method.
589 - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
590 and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
591 glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
592 (older) versions of glib.
593 - implemented PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE env variable.
594
595 0.3 Sun Dec 4 10:43:33 CET 2005
596 - no changes to the code.
597 - fixed documentation.
598 - clarified some corner cases.
599 - vastly improved documentation with a long example.
600
601 0.2 Thu Dec 1 22:18:49 CET 2005
602 - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
603 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
604 - don't die when some modules are not available.
605 - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works.
606
607 0.1 Thu Dec 1 19:44:57 CET 2005
608 - spiced up and cleaned up for release.
609
610 0.01 Tue Sep 21 18:12:09 CEST 2004
611 - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
612
