1 Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2
3 4.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
4 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
5 callbacks.
6 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
7 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
8 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
9 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
10 Event::Lib.
11 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
12 to rarely fail.
13
14 4.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
15 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
16 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
17 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
18 in AnyEvent->io.
19 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
20 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
21 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
22 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
23 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
24 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
25 portable_socketpair.
26 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
27 YMMV.
28
29 4.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
30 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
31 uppercase targets.
32 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
33 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
34 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
35 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
36 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
37 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
38 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
39 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
40 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
41 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
42 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
43 in the common case.
44 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
45 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
46 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
47 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
48 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
49 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
50 from the constructor.
51 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
52 then fall back to JSON.
53 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
54 and because it was documented that way.
55
56 4.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
57 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
58 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
59
60 4.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
61 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
62 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
63 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
64 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
65 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
66 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
67 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
68 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
69 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
70
71 4.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
72 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
73 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
74 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
75 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
76 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
77
78 4.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
79 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
80 and set it on the default resolver.
81 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
82 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
83 when running in tainted mode.
84 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
85
86 4.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
87 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
88
89 4.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
90 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
91 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
92 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
93 destructors.
94 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
95 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
96 implementation.
97 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
98 for cosmetic reasons.
99
100 4.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
101 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
102 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
103 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
104 - sped up Tk timer handling.
105 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
106 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
107 - fix Qt timers without interval.
108 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
109
110 4.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
111 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
112 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
113 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
114
115 4.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
116 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
117 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
118 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
119 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
120
121 4.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
122 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
123 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
124 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
125 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
126 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
127 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
128 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
129 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
130 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
131 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
132 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
133
134 4.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
135 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
136 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
137 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
138 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
139 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
140 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
141 backend.
142 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
143
144 4.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
145 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
146 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
147 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
148 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
149 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
150 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
151
152 4.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
153 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
154 illegal.
155 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
156 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
157 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
158 by Adam Rosenstein).
159 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
160 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
161 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
162
163 4.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
164 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
165 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
166 the socket type.
167 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
168
169 4.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
170 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
171 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
172 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
173 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
174 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
175 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
176
177 4.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
178 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
179 unless one has been installed already.
180 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
181 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
182 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
183 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
184 client would first wait for some data by the server and
185 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
186 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
187 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
188 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
189 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
190 Rosenstein).
191 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
192 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
193 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
194 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
195 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
196 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
197 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
198 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
199 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
200 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
201 now, more to come, though.
202 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
203
204 4.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
205 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
206 no trace events.
207 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
208 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
209 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
210 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
211 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
212 Time::HiRes).
213
214 4.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
215 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
216 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
217
218 4.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
219 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
220 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
221 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
222 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
223
224 4.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
225 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
226 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
227 perls without resource leaks or worse).
228
229 4.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
230 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
231 the callback.
232 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
233 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
234 eol marker.
235 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
236 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
237 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
238
239 4.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
240 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
241 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
242 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
243 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
244 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
245
246 4.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
247 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
248 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
249 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
250 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
251 unusable way.
252 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
253 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
254 K. Sharifulin).
255
256 4.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
257 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
258 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
259 be delayed under some circumstances.
260 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
261 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
262 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
263 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
264 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
265 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
266
267 4.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
268 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
269 assumption that all data could be written before read
270 (reported by Jim Razmus).
271
272 4.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
273 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
274 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
275 implementation (also affected child watchers).
276 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
277
278 4.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
279 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
280 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
281 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
282
283 4.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
284 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
285 works.
286
287 4.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
288 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
289 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
290 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
291 for AnyEvent::Handle.
292 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
293 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
294
295 4.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
296 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
297 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
298 executing the guard block as warnings.
299 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
300
301 4.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
302 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
303 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
304 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
305 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
306 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
307 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
308 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
309 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
310 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
311 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
312 enter an endless loop.
313 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
314 busy again after idling.
315 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
316 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
317 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
318 (hopefully).
319 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
320 away any time.
321
322 4.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
323 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
324 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
325 - allow more options in on_error.
326
327 4.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
328 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
329 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
330 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
331 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
332 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
333 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
334 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
335 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
336 rfc 2782.
337 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
338 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
339 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
340 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
341 could die. this has been fixed.
342 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
343 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
344 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
345 for resolver class.
346 - update version numbers in all modules.
347
348 4.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
349 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
350 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
351 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
352 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
353 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
354 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
355 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
356 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
357 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
358 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
359 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
360 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
361 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
362 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
363 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
364 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
365 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
366 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
367 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
368 but EV also works around this).
369 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
370 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
371 vs. callback arguments.
372 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
373
374 4.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
375 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
376 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
377 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
378 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
379
380 4.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
381 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
382 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
383 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
384 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
385 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
386 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
387 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
388 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
389 sake of perl 5.8.
390 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
391 (still a hack...)
392 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
393 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
394 die handlers.
395
396 4.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
397 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
398 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
399 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
400 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
401 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
402 - updated documentation.
403 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
404 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
405 in AnyEvent::Handle.
406 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
407 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
408 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
409 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
410
411 4.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
412 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
413 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
414 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
415 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
416 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
417 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
418 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
419 verbatim ip addresses.
420 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
421 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
422 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
423 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
424 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
425 become writable until empty.
426 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
427 returns ENOTCONN.
428 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
429 override.
430 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
431
432 3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
433 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
434 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
435 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
436 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
437 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
438 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
439 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
440 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
441 first and second argument.
442 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
443 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
444 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
445 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
446 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
447
448 3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
449 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
450
451 3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
452 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
453 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
454 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
455 (still subject to change).
456 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
457 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
458 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
459 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
460 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
461 via Coro::AnyEvent.
462
463 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
464 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
465 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
466 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
467 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
468 the different event loops with each other.
469 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
470 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
471 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
472 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
473 kept alive.
474 - document the race between loading of an event module and
475 child processes exiting.
476 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
477 enough, and darn slow).
478 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
479 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
480 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
481 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
482 faster than Event and Glib :).
483 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
484 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
485 to other event loops where possible.
486
487 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
488 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
489 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
490 for the same fh/poll combo).
491 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
492 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
493 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
494 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
495 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
496
497 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
498 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
499 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
500 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
501 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
502 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
503 - do not send the signal to the process group
504 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
505
506 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
507 - major documentation rework.
508 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
509 - fix the child watcher example.
510
511 3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
512 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
513 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
514 don't get fixed anytime soon).
515 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
516 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
517 such strong limits).
518 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
519 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
520 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
521 any restrictions...).
522 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
523
524 3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
525 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
526 up the Coro implementation in general.
527 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
528 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
529 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
530
531 2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
532 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
533
534 2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
535 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
536 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
537
538 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
539 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
540 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
541 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
542 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
543 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
544 (except when Event or EV are installed).
545
546 2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
547 - fix bug in testsuite.
548 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
549 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
550
551 2.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
552 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
553 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
554 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
555
556 2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
557 - work around a perl bug that results in
558 BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
559 any discernible reason or error message by once
560 again not use'ing strict.
561
562 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
563 - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
564
565 2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
566 - child watchers stopped working permanently when
567 all current child watchers were destroyed.
568
569 2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
570 - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
571 true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
572
573 2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
574 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
575 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
576 - implement signal watchers (experimental)
577 (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
578 so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
579 - implement child watchers (experimental).
580 - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
581 most implementation modules.
582
583 2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
584 - better docs.
585 - simple testsuite.
586 - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
587
588 2.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
589 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
590 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
591 - EXPERIMENTAL:
592 new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
593 event model.
594 - improved documentation.
595 - reduced cpu overhead.
596
597 1.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006
598 - add COPYING to clarify license.
599
600 1.01 Sun Jan 8 05:48:09 CET 2006
601 - correctly cancel Event timers, avoid memory leaks.
602
603 1.0 Sun Jan 8 05:40:58 CET 2006
604 - allow third-party interfaces to be added at runtime.
605 - fix version number.
606
607 0.9 Fri Dec 30 02:25:41 CET 2005
608 - fixed errors in the documentation.
609 - going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
610 as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
611 this method.
612 - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
613 and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
614 glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
615 (older) versions of glib.
616 - implemented PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE env variable.
617
618 0.3 Sun Dec 4 10:43:33 CET 2005
619 - no changes to the code.
620 - fixed documentation.
621 - clarified some corner cases.
622 - vastly improved documentation with a long example.
623
624 0.2 Thu Dec 1 22:18:49 CET 2005
625 - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
626 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
627 - don't die when some modules are not available.
628 - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works.
629
630 0.1 Thu Dec 1 19:44:57 CET 2005
631 - spiced up and cleaned up for release.
632
633 0.01 Tue Sep 21 18:12:09 CEST 2004
634 - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
635
