2
3 TODO: implement getprotobyname
4 - ignore possible spurious wake-ups.
5
6 4.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
7 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
8 callbacks.
9 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
10 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
11 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
12 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
13 Event::Lib.
14 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
15 to rarely fail.
16
17 4.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
18 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
19 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
20 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
21 in AnyEvent->io.
22 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
23 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
24 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
25 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
26 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
27 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
28 portable_socketpair.
29 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
30 YMMV.
31
32 4.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
33 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
34 uppercase targets.
35 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
36 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
37 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
38 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
39 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
40 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
41 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
42 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
43 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
44 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
45 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
46 in the common case.
47 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
48 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
49 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
50 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
51 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
52 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
53 from the constructor.
54 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
55 then fall back to JSON.
56 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
57 and because it was documented that way.
58
59 4.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
60 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
61 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
62
63 4.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
64 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
65 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
66 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
67 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
68 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
69 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
70 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
71 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
72 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
73
74 4.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
75 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
76 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
77 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
78 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
79 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
80
81 4.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
82 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
83 and set it on the default resolver.
84 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
85 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
86 when running in tainted mode.
87 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
88
89 4.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
90 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
91
92 4.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
93 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
94 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
95 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
96 destructors.
97 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
98 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
99 implementation.
100 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
101 for cosmetic reasons.
102
103 4.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
104 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
105 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
106 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
107 - sped up Tk timer handling.
108 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
109 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
110 - fix Qt timers without interval.
111 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
112
113 4.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
114 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
115 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
116 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
117
118 4.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
119 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
120 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
121 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
122 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
123
124 4.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
125 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
126 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
127 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
128 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
129 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
130 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
131 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
132 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
133 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
134 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
135 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
136
137 4.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
138 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
139 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
140 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
141 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
142 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
143 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
144 backend.
145 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
146
147 4.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
148 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
149 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
150 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
151 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
152 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
153 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
154
155 4.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
156 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
157 illegal.
158 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
159 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
160 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
161 by Adam Rosenstein).
162 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
163 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
164 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
165
166 4.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
167 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
168 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
169 the socket type.
170 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
171
172 4.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
173 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
174 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
175 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
176 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
177 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
178 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
179
180 4.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
181 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
182 unless one has been installed already.
183 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
184 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
185 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
186 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
187 client would first wait for some data by the server and
188 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
189 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
190 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
191 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
192 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
193 Rosenstein).
194 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
195 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
196 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
197 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
198 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
199 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
200 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
201 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
202 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
203 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
204 now, more to come, though.
205 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
206
207 4.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
208 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
209 no trace events.
210 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
211 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
212 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
213 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
214 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
215 Time::HiRes).
216
217 4.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
218 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
219 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
220
221 4.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
222 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
223 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
224 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
225 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
226
227 4.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
228 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
229 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
230 perls without resource leaks or worse).
231
232 4.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
233 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
234 the callback.
235 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
236 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
237 eol marker.
238 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
239 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
240 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
241
242 4.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
243 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
244 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
245 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
246 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
247 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
248
249 4.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
250 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
251 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
252 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
253 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
254 unusable way.
255 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
256 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
257 K. Sharifulin).
258
259 4.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
260 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
261 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
262 be delayed under some circumstances.
263 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
264 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
265 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
266 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
267 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
268 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
269
270 4.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
271 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
272 assumption that all data could be written before read
273 (reported by Jim Razmus).
274
275 4.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
276 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
277 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
278 implementation (also affected child watchers).
279 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
280
281 4.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
282 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
283 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
284 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
285
286 4.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
287 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
288 works.
289
290 4.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
291 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
292 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
293 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
294 for AnyEvent::Handle.
295 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
296 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
297
298 4.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
299 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
300 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
301 executing the guard block as warnings.
302 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
303
304 4.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
305 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
306 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
307 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
308 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
309 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
310 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
311 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
312 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
313 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
314 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
315 enter an endless loop.
316 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
317 busy again after idling.
318 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
319 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
320 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
321 (hopefully).
322 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
323 away any time.
324
325 4.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
326 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
327 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
328 - allow more options in on_error.
329
330 4.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
331 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
332 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
333 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
334 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
335 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
336 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
337 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
338 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
339 rfc 2782.
340 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
341 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
342 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
343 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
344 could die. this has been fixed.
345 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
346 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
347 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
348 for resolver class.
349 - update version numbers in all modules.
350
351 4.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
352 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
353 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
354 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
355 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
356 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
357 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
358 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
359 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
360 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
361 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
362 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
363 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
364 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
365 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
366 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
367 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
368 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
369 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
370 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
371 but EV also works around this).
372 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
373 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
374 vs. callback arguments.
375 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
376
377 4.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
378 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
379 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
380 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
381 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
382
383 4.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
384 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
385 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
386 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
387 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
388 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
389 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
390 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
391 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
392 sake of perl 5.8.
393 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
394 (still a hack...)
395 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
396 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
397 die handlers.
398
399 4.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
400 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
401 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
402 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
403 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
404 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
405 - updated documentation.
406 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
407 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
408 in AnyEvent::Handle.
409 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
410 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
411 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
412 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
413
414 4.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
415 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
416 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
417 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
418 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
419 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
420 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
421 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
422 verbatim ip addresses.
423 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
424 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
425 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
426 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
427 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
428 become writable until empty.
429 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
430 returns ENOTCONN.
431 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
432 override.
433 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
434
435 3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
436 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
437 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
438 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
439 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
440 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
441 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
442 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
443 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
444 first and second argument.
445 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
446 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
447 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
448 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
449 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
450
451 3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
452 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
453
454 3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
455 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
456 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
457 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
458 (still subject to change).
459 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
460 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
461 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
462 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
463 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
464 via Coro::AnyEvent.
465
466 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
467 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
468 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
469 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
470 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
471 the different event loops with each other.
472 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
473 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
474 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
475 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
476 kept alive.
477 - document the race between loading of an event module and
478 child processes exiting.
479 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
480 enough, and darn slow).
481 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
482 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
483 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
484 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
485 faster than Event and Glib :).
486 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
487 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
488 to other event loops where possible.
489
490 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
491 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
492 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
493 for the same fh/poll combo).
494 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
495 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
496 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
497 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
498 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
499
500 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
501 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
502 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
503 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
504 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
505 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
506 - do not send the signal to the process group
507 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
508
509 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
510 - major documentation rework.
511 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
512 - fix the child watcher example.
513
514 3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
515 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
516 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
517 don't get fixed anytime soon).
518 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
519 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
520 such strong limits).
521 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
522 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
523 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
524 any restrictions...).
525 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
526
527 3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
528 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
529 up the Coro implementation in general.
530 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
531 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
532 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
533
534 2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
535 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
536
537 2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
538 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
539 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
540
541 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
542 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
543 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
544 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
545 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
546 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
547 (except when Event or EV are installed).
548
549 2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
550 - fix bug in testsuite.
551 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
552 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
553
554 2.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
555 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
556 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
557 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
558
559 2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
560 - work around a perl bug that results in
561 BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
562 any discernible reason or error message by once
563 again not use'ing strict.
564
565 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
566 - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
567
568 2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
569 - child watchers stopped working permanently when
570 all current child watchers were destroyed.
571
572 2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
573 - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
574 true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
575
576 2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
577 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
578 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
579 - implement signal watchers (experimental)
580 (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
581 so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
582 - implement child watchers (experimental).
583 - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
584 most implementation modules.
585
586 2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
587 - better docs.
588 - simple testsuite.
589 - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
590
591 2.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
592 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
593 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
594 - EXPERIMENTAL:
595 new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
596 event model.
597 - improved documentation.
598 - reduced cpu overhead.
599
600 1.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006
601 - add COPYING to clarify license.
602
603 1.01 Sun Jan 8 05:48:09 CET 2006
604 - correctly cancel Event timers, avoid memory leaks.
605
606 1.0 Sun Jan 8 05:40:58 CET 2006
607 - allow third-party interfaces to be added at runtime.
608 - fix version number.
609
610 0.9 Fri Dec 30 02:25:41 CET 2005
611 - fixed errors in the documentation.
612 - going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
613 as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
614 this method.
615 - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
616 and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
617 glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
618 (older) versions of glib.
619 - implemented PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE env variable.
620
621 0.3 Sun Dec 4 10:43:33 CET 2005
622 - no changes to the code.
623 - fixed documentation.
624 - clarified some corner cases.
625 - vastly improved documentation with a long example.
626
627 0.2 Thu Dec 1 22:18:49 CET 2005
628 - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
629 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
630 - don't die when some modules are not available.
631 - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works.
632
633 0.1 Thu Dec 1 19:44:57 CET 2005
634 - spiced up and cleaned up for release.
635
636 0.01 Tue Sep 21 18:12:09 CEST 2004
637 - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
638
