1 Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2
3 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
4 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
5 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
6
7 4.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
8 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
9 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
10 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
11 in AnyEvent->io.
12 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
13 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
14 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
15 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
16 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
17 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
18 portable_socketpair.
19 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
20 YMMV.
21
22 4.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
23 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
24 uppercase targets.
25 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
26 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
27 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
28 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
29 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
30 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
31 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
32 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
33 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
34 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
35 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
36 in the common case.
37 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
38 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
39 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
40 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
41 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
42 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
43 from the constructor.
44 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
45 then fall back to JSON.
46 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
47 and because it was documented that way.
48
49 4.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
50 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
51 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
52
53 4.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
54 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
55 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
56 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
57 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
58 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
59 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
60 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
61 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
62 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
63
64 4.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
65 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
66 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
67 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
68 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
69 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
70
71 4.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
72 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
73 and set it on the default resolver.
74 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
75 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
76 when running in tainted mode.
77 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
78
79 4.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
80 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
81
82 4.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
83 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
84 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
85 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
86 destructors.
87 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
88 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
89 implementation.
90 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
91 for cosmetic reasons.
92
93 4.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
94 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
95 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
96 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
97 - sped up Tk timer handling.
98 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
99 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
100 - fix Qt timers without interval.
101 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
102
103 4.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
104 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
105 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
106 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
107
108 4.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
109 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
110 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
111 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
112 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
113
114 4.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
115 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
116 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
117 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
118 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
119 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
120 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
121 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
122 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
123 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
124 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
125 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
126
127 4.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
128 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
129 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
130 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
131 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
132 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
133 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
134 backend.
135 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
136
137 4.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
138 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
139 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
140 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
141 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
142 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
143 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
144
145 4.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
146 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
147 illegal.
148 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
149 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
150 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
151 by Adam Rosenstein).
152 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
153 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
154 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
155
156 4.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
157 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
158 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
159 the socket type.
160 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
161
162 4.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
163 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
164 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
165 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
166 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
167 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
168 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
169
170 4.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
171 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
172 unless one has been installed already.
173 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
174 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
175 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
176 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
177 client would first wait for some data by the server and
178 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
179 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
180 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
181 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
182 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
183 Rosenstein).
184 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
185 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
186 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
187 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
188 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
189 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
190 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
191 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
192 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
193 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
194 now, more to come, though.
195 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
196
197 4.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
198 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
199 no trace events.
200 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
201 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
202 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
203 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
204 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
205 Time::HiRes).
206
207 4.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
208 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
209 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
210
211 4.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
212 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
213 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
214 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
215 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
216
217 4.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
218 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
219 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
220 perls without resource leaks or worse).
221
222 4.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
223 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
224 the callback.
225 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
226 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
227 eol marker.
228 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
229 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
230 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
231
232 4.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
233 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
234 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
235 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
236 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
237 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
238
239 4.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
240 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
241 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
242 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
243 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
244 unusable way.
245 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
246 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
247 K. Sharifulin).
248
249 4.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
250 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
251 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
252 be delayed under some circumstances.
253 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
254 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
255 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
256 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
257 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
258 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
259
260 4.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
261 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
262 assumption that all data could be written before read
263 (reported by Jim Razmus).
264
265 4.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
266 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
267 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
268 implementation (also affected child watchers).
269 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
270
271 4.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
272 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
273 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
274 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
275
276 4.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
277 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
278 works.
279
280 4.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
281 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
282 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
283 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
284 for AnyEvent::Handle.
285 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
286 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
287
288 4.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
289 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
290 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
291 executing the guard block as warnings.
292 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
293
294 4.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
295 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
296 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
297 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
298 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
299 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
300 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
301 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
302 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
303 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
304 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
305 enter an endless loop.
306 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
307 busy again after idling.
308 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
309 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
310 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
311 (hopefully).
312 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
313 away any time.
314
315 4.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
316 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
317 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
318 - allow more options in on_error.
319
320 4.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
321 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
322 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
323 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
324 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
325 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
326 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
327 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
328 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
329 rfc 2782.
330 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
331 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
332 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
333 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
334 could die. this has been fixed.
335 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
336 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
337 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
338 for resolver class.
339 - update version numbers in all modules.
340
341 4.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
342 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
343 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
344 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
345 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
346 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
347 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
348 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
349 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
350 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
351 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
352 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
353 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
354 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
355 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
356 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
357 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
358 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
359 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
360 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
361 but EV also works around this).
362 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
363 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
364 vs. callback arguments.
365 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
366
367 4.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
368 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
369 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
370 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
371 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
372
373 4.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
374 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
375 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
376 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
377 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
378 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
379 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
380 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
381 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
382 sake of perl 5.8.
383 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
384 (still a hack...)
385 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
386 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
387 die handlers.
388
389 4.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
390 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
391 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
392 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
393 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
394 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
395 - updated documentation.
396 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
397 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
398 in AnyEvent::Handle.
399 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
400 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
401 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
402 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
403
404 4.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
405 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
406 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
407 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
408 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
409 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
410 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
411 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
412 verbatim ip addresses.
413 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
414 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
415 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
416 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
417 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
418 become writable until empty.
419 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
420 returns ENOTCONN.
421 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
422 override.
423 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
424
425 3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
426 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
427 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
428 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
429 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
430 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
431 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
432 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
433 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
434 first and second argument.
435 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
436 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
437 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
438 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
439 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
440
441 3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
442 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
443
444 3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
445 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
446 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
447 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
448 (still subject to change).
449 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
450 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
451 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
452 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
453 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
454 via Coro::AnyEvent.
455
456 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
457 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
458 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
459 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
460 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
461 the different event loops with each other.
462 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
463 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
464 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
465 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
466 kept alive.
467 - document the race between loading of an event module and
468 child processes exiting.
469 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
470 enough, and darn slow).
471 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
472 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
473 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
474 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
475 faster than Event and Glib :).
476 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
477 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
478 to other event loops where possible.
479
480 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
481 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
482 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
483 for the same fh/poll combo).
484 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
485 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
486 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
487 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
488 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
489
490 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
491 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
492 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
493 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
494 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
495 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
496 - do not send the signal to the process group
497 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
498
499 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
500 - major documentation rework.
501 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
502 - fix the child watcher example.
503
504 3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
505 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
506 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
507 don't get fixed anytime soon).
508 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
509 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
510 such strong limits).
511 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
512 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
513 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
514 any restrictions...).
515 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
516
517 3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
518 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
519 up the Coro implementation in general.
520 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
521 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
522 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
523
524 2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
525 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
526
527 2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
528 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
529 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
530
531 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
532 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
533 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
534 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
535 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
536 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
537 (except when Event or EV are installed).
538
539 2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
540 - fix bug in testsuite.
541 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
542 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
543
544 2.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
545 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
546 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
547 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
548
549 2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
550 - work around a perl bug that results in
551 BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
552 any discernible reason or error message by once
553 again not use'ing strict.
554
555 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
556 - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
557
558 2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
559 - child watchers stopped working permanently when
560 all current child watchers were destroyed.
561
562 2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
563 - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
564 true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
565
566 2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
567 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
568 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
569 - implement signal watchers (experimental)
570 (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
571 so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
572 - implement child watchers (experimental).
573 - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
574 most implementation modules.
575
576 2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
577 - better docs.
578 - simple testsuite.
579 - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
580
581 2.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
582 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
583 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
584 - EXPERIMENTAL:
585 new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
586 event model.
587 - improved documentation.
588 - reduced cpu overhead.
589
590 1.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006
591 - add COPYING to clarify license.
592
593 1.01 Sun Jan 8 05:48:09 CET 2006
594 - correctly cancel Event timers, avoid memory leaks.
595
596 1.0 Sun Jan 8 05:40:58 CET 2006
597 - allow third-party interfaces to be added at runtime.
598 - fix version number.
599
600 0.9 Fri Dec 30 02:25:41 CET 2005
601 - fixed errors in the documentation.
602 - going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
603 as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
604 this method.
605 - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
606 and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
607 glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
608 (older) versions of glib.
609 - implemented PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE env variable.
610
611 0.3 Sun Dec 4 10:43:33 CET 2005
612 - no changes to the code.
613 - fixed documentation.
614 - clarified some corner cases.
615 - vastly improved documentation with a long example.
616
617 0.2 Thu Dec 1 22:18:49 CET 2005
618 - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
619 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
620 - don't die when some modules are not available.
621 - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works.
622
623 0.1 Thu Dec 1 19:44:57 CET 2005
624 - spiced up and cleaned up for release.
625
626 0.01 Tue Sep 21 18:12:09 CEST 2004
627 - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
628
