1 Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2
3 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
4 in AnyEvent->io.
5 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
6 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
7 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
8 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
9
10 4.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
11 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
12 uppercase targets.
13 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
14 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
15 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
16 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
17 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
18 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
19 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
20 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
21 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
22 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
23 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
24 in the common case.
25 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
26 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
27 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
28 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
29 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
30 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
31 from the constructor.
32 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
33 then fall back to JSON.
34 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
35 and because it was documented that way.
36
37 4.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
38 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
39 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
40
41 4.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
42 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
43 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
44 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
45 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
46 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
47 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
48 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
49 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
50 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
51
52 4.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
53 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
54 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
55 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
56 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
57 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
58
59 4.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
60 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
61 and set it on the default resolver.
62 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
63 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
64 when running in tainted mode.
65 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
66
67 4.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
68 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
69
70 4.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
71 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
72 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
73 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
74 destructors.
75 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
76 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
77 implementation.
78 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
79 for cosmetic reasons.
80
81 4.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
82 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
83 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
84 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
85 - sped up Tk timer handling.
86 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
87 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
88 - fix Qt timers without interval.
89 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
90
91 4.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
92 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
93 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
94 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
95
96 4.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
97 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
98 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
99 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
100 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
101
102 4.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
103 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
104 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
105 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
106 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
107 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
108 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
109 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
110 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
111 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
112 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
113 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
114
115 4.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
116 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
117 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
118 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
119 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
120 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
121 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
122 backend.
123 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
124
125 4.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
126 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
127 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
128 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
129 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
130 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
131 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
132
133 4.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
134 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
135 illegal.
136 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
137 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
138 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
139 by Adam Rosenstein).
140 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
141 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
142 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
143
144 4.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
145 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
146 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
147 the socket type.
148 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
149
150 4.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
151 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
152 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
153 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
154 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
155 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
156 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
157
158 4.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
159 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
160 unless one has been installed already.
161 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
162 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
163 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
164 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
165 client would first wait for some data by the server and
166 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
167 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
168 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
169 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
170 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
171 Rosenstein).
172 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
173 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
174 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
175 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
176 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
177 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
178 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
179 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
180 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
181 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
182 now, more to come, though.
183 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
184
185 4.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
186 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
187 no trace events.
188 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
189 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
190 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
191 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
192 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
193 Time::HiRes).
194
195 4.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
196 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
197 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
198
199 4.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
200 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
201 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
202 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
203 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
204
205 4.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
206 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
207 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
208 perls without resource leaks or worse).
209
210 4.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
211 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
212 the callback.
213 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
214 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
215 eol marker.
216 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
217 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
218 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
219
220 4.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
221 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
222 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
223 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
224 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
225 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
226
227 4.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
228 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
229 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
230 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
231 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
232 unusable way.
233 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
234 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
235 K. Sharifulin).
236
237 4.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
238 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
239 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
240 be delayed under some circumstances.
241 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
242 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
243 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
244 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
245 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
246 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
247
248 4.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
249 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
250 assumption that all data could be written before read
251 (reported by Jim Razmus).
252
253 4.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
254 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
255 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
256 implementation (also affected child watchers).
257 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
258
259 4.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
260 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
261 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
262 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
263
264 4.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
265 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
266 works.
267
268 4.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
269 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
270 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
271 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
272 for AnyEvent::Handle.
273 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
274 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
275
276 4.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
277 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
278 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
279 executing the guard block as warnings.
280 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
281
282 4.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
283 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
284 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
285 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
286 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
287 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
288 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
289 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
290 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
291 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
292 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
293 enter an endless loop.
294 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
295 busy again after idling.
296 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
297 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
298 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
299 (hopefully).
300 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
301 away any time.
302
303 4.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
304 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
305 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
306 - allow more options in on_error.
307
308 4.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
309 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
310 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
311 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
312 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
313 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
314 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
315 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
316 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
317 rfc 2782.
318 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
319 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
320 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
321 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
322 could die. this has been fixed.
323 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
324 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
325 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
326 for resolver class.
327 - update version numbers in all modules.
328
329 4.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
330 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
331 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
332 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
333 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
334 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
335 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
336 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
337 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
338 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
339 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
340 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
341 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
342 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
343 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
344 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
345 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
346 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
347 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
348 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
349 but EV also works around this).
350 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
351 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
352 vs. callback arguments.
353 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
354
355 4.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
356 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
357 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
358 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
359 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
360
361 4.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
362 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
363 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
364 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
365 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
366 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
367 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
368 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
369 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
370 sake of perl 5.8.
371 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
372 (still a hack...)
373 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
374 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
375 die handlers.
376
377 4.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
378 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
379 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
380 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
381 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
382 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
383 - updated documentation.
384 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
385 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
386 in AnyEvent::Handle.
387 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
388 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
389 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
390 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
391
392 4.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
393 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
394 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
395 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
396 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
397 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
398 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
399 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
400 verbatim ip addresses.
401 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
402 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
403 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
404 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
405 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
406 become writable until empty.
407 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
408 returns ENOTCONN.
409 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
410 override.
411 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
412
413 3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
414 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
415 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
416 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
417 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
418 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
419 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
420 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
421 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
422 first and second argument.
423 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
424 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
425 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
426 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
427 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
428
429 3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
430 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
431
432 3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
433 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
434 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
435 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
436 (still subject to change).
437 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
438 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
439 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
440 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
441 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
442 via Coro::AnyEvent.
443
444 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
445 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
446 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
447 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
448 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
449 the different event loops with each other.
450 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
451 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
452 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
453 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
454 kept alive.
455 - document the race between loading of an event module and
456 child processes exiting.
457 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
458 enough, and darn slow).
459 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
460 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
461 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
462 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
463 faster than Event and Glib :).
464 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
465 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
466 to other event loops where possible.
467
468 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
469 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
470 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
471 for the same fh/poll combo).
472 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
473 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
474 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
475 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
476 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
477
478 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
479 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
480 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
481 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
482 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
483 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
484 - do not send the signal to the process group
485 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
486
487 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
488 - major documentation rework.
489 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
490 - fix the child watcher example.
491
492 3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
493 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
494 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
495 don't get fixed anytime soon).
496 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
497 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
498 such strong limits).
499 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
500 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
501 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
502 any restrictions...).
503 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
504
505 3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
506 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
507 up the Coro implementation in general.
508 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
509 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
510 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
511
512 2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
513 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
514
515 2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
516 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
517 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
518
519 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
520 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
521 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
522 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
523 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
524 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
525 (except when Event or EV are installed).
526
527 2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
528 - fix bug in testsuite.
529 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
530 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
531
532 2.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
533 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
534 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
535 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
536
537 2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
538 - work around a perl bug that results in
539 BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
540 any discernible reason or error message by once
541 again not use'ing strict.
542
543 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
544 - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
545
546 2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
547 - child watchers stopped working permanently when
548 all current child watchers were destroyed.
549
550 2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
551 - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
552 true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
553
554 2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
555 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
556 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
557 - implement signal watchers (experimental)
558 (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
559 so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
560 - implement child watchers (experimental).
561 - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
562 most implementation modules.
563
564 2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
565 - better docs.
566 - simple testsuite.
567 - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
568
569 2.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
570 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
571 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
572 - EXPERIMENTAL:
573 new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
574 event model.
575 - improved documentation.
576 - reduced cpu overhead.
577
578 1.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006
579 - add COPYING to clarify license.
580
581 1.01 Sun Jan 8 05:48:09 CET 2006
582 - correctly cancel Event timers, avoid memory leaks.
583
584 1.0 Sun Jan 8 05:40:58 CET 2006
585 - allow third-party interfaces to be added at runtime.
586 - fix version number.
587
588 0.9 Fri Dec 30 02:25:41 CET 2005
589 - fixed errors in the documentation.
590 - going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
591 as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
592 this method.
593 - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
594 and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
595 glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
596 (older) versions of glib.
597 - implemented PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE env variable.
598
599 0.3 Sun Dec 4 10:43:33 CET 2005
600 - no changes to the code.
601 - fixed documentation.
602 - clarified some corner cases.
603 - vastly improved documentation with a long example.
604
605 0.2 Thu Dec 1 22:18:49 CET 2005
606 - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
607 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
608 - don't die when some modules are not available.
609 - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works.
610
611 0.1 Thu Dec 1 19:44:57 CET 2005
612 - spiced up and cleaned up for release.
613
614 0.01 Tue Sep 21 18:12:09 CEST 2004
615 - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
616
