1 Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2
3 TODO: implement getprotobyname
4 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
5 waits and will croak.
6 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
7 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
8 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
9 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
10 on_read callbacks.
11 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
12
13 4.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
14 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
15 callbacks.
16 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
17 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
18 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
19 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
20 Event::Lib.
21 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
22 to rarely fail.
23
24 4.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
25 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
26 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
27 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
28 in AnyEvent->io.
29 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
30 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
31 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
32 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
33 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
34 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
35 portable_socketpair.
36 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
37 YMMV.
38
39 4.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
40 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
41 uppercase targets.
42 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
43 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
44 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
45 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
46 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
47 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
48 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
49 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
50 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
51 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
52 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
53 in the common case.
54 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
55 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
56 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
57 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
58 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
59 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
60 from the constructor.
61 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
62 then fall back to JSON.
63 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
64 and because it was documented that way.
65
66 4.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
67 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
68 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
69
70 4.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
71 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
72 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
73 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
74 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
75 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
76 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
77 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
78 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
79 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
80
81 4.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
82 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
83 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
84 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
85 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
86 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
87
88 4.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
89 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
90 and set it on the default resolver.
91 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
92 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
93 when running in tainted mode.
94 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
95
96 4.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
97 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
98
99 4.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
100 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
101 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
102 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
103 destructors.
104 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
105 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
106 implementation.
107 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
108 for cosmetic reasons.
109
110 4.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
111 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
112 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
113 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
114 - sped up Tk timer handling.
115 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
116 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
117 - fix Qt timers without interval.
118 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
119
120 4.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
121 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
122 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
123 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
124
125 4.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
126 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
127 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
128 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
129 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
130
131 4.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
132 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
133 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
134 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
135 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
136 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
137 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
138 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
139 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
140 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
141 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
142 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
143
144 4.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
145 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
146 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
147 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
148 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
149 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
150 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
151 backend.
152 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
153
154 4.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
155 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
156 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
157 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
158 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
159 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
160 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
161
162 4.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
163 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
164 illegal.
165 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
166 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
167 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
168 by Adam Rosenstein).
169 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
170 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
171 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
172
173 4.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
174 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
175 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
176 the socket type.
177 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
178
179 4.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
180 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
181 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
182 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
183 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
184 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
185 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
186
187 4.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
188 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
189 unless one has been installed already.
190 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
191 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
192 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
193 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
194 client would first wait for some data by the server and
195 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
196 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
197 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
198 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
199 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
200 Rosenstein).
201 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
202 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
203 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
204 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
205 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
206 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
207 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
208 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
209 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
210 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
211 now, more to come, though.
212 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
213
214 4.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
215 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
216 no trace events.
217 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
218 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
219 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
220 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
221 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
222 Time::HiRes).
223
224 4.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
225 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
226 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
227
228 4.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
229 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
230 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
231 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
232 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
233
234 4.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
235 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
236 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
237 perls without resource leaks or worse).
238
239 4.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
240 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
241 the callback.
242 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
243 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
244 eol marker.
245 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
246 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
247 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
248
249 4.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
250 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
251 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
252 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
253 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
254 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
255
256 4.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
257 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
258 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
259 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
260 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
261 unusable way.
262 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
263 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
264 K. Sharifulin).
265
266 4.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
267 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
268 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
269 be delayed under some circumstances.
270 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
271 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
272 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
273 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
274 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
275 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
276
277 4.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
278 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
279 assumption that all data could be written before read
280 (reported by Jim Razmus).
281
282 4.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
283 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
284 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
285 implementation (also affected child watchers).
286 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
287
288 4.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
289 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
290 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
291 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
292
293 4.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
294 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
295 works.
296
297 4.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
298 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
299 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
300 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
301 for AnyEvent::Handle.
302 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
303 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
304
305 4.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
306 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
307 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
308 executing the guard block as warnings.
309 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
310
311 4.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
312 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
313 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
314 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
315 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
316 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
317 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
318 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
319 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
320 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
321 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
322 enter an endless loop.
323 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
324 busy again after idling.
325 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
326 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
327 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
328 (hopefully).
329 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
330 away any time.
331
332 4.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
333 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
334 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
335 - allow more options in on_error.
336
337 4.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
338 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
339 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
340 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
341 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
342 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
343 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
344 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
345 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
346 rfc 2782.
347 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
348 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
349 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
350 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
351 could die. this has been fixed.
352 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
353 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
354 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
355 for resolver class.
356 - update version numbers in all modules.
357
358 4.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
359 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
360 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
361 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
362 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
363 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
364 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
365 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
366 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
367 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
368 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
369 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
370 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
371 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
372 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
373 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
374 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
375 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
376 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
377 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
378 but EV also works around this).
379 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
380 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
381 vs. callback arguments.
382 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
383
384 4.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
385 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
386 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
387 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
388 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
389
390 4.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
391 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
392 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
393 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
394 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
395 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
396 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
397 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
398 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
399 sake of perl 5.8.
400 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
401 (still a hack...)
402 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
403 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
404 die handlers.
405
406 4.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
407 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
408 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
409 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
410 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
411 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
412 - updated documentation.
413 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
414 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
415 in AnyEvent::Handle.
416 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
417 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
418 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
419 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
420
421 4.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
422 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
423 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
424 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
425 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
426 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
427 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
428 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
429 verbatim ip addresses.
430 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
431 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
432 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
433 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
434 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
435 become writable until empty.
436 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
437 returns ENOTCONN.
438 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
439 override.
440 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
441
442 3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
443 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
444 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
445 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
446 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
447 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
448 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
449 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
450 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
451 first and second argument.
452 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
453 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
454 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
455 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
456 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
457
458 3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
459 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.

461 3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
462 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
463 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
464 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
465 (still subject to change).
466 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
467 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
468 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
469 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
470 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
471 via Coro::AnyEvent.
472
473 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
474 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
475 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
476 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
477 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
478 the different event loops with each other.
479 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
480 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
481 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
482 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
483 kept alive.
484 - document the race between loading of an event module and
485 child processes exiting.
486 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
487 enough, and darn slow).
488 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
489 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
490 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
491 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
492 faster than Event and Glib :).
493 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
494 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
495 to other event loops where possible.
496
497 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
498 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
499 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
500 for the same fh/poll combo).
501 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
502 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
503 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
504 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
505 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
506
507 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
508 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
509 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
510 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
511 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
512 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
513 - do not send the signal to the process group
514 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
515
516 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
517 - major documentation rework.
518 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
519 - fix the child watcher example.
520
521 3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
522 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
523 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
524 don't get fixed anytime soon).
525 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
526 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
527 such strong limits).
528 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
529 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
530 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
531 any restrictions...).
532 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
533
534 3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
535 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
536 up the Coro implementation in general.
537 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
538 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
539 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
540
541 2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
542 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
543
544 2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
545 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
546 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
547
548 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
549 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
550 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
551 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
552 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
553 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
554 (except when Event or EV are installed).
555
556 2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
557 - fix bug in testsuite.
558 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
559 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
560
561 2.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
562 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
563 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
564 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
565
566 2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
567 - work around a perl bug that results in
568 BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
569 any discernible reason or error message by once
570 again not use'ing strict.
571
572 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
573 - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
574
575 2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
576 - child watchers stopped working permanently when
577 all current child watchers were destroyed.
578
579 2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
580 - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
581 true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
582
583 2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
584 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
585 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
586 - implement signal watchers (experimental)
587 (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
588 so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
589 - implement child watchers (experimental).
590 - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
591 most implementation modules.
592
593 2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
594 - better docs.
595 - simple testsuite.
596 - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
597
598 2.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
599 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
600 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
601 - EXPERIMENTAL:
602 new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
603 event model.
604 - improved documentation.
605 - reduced cpu overhead.
606
607 1.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006
608 - add COPYING to clarify license.
609
610 1.01 Sun Jan 8 05:48:09 CET 2006
611 - correctly cancel Event timers, avoid memory leaks.
612
613 1.0 Sun Jan 8 05:40:58 CET 2006
614 - allow third-party interfaces to be added at runtime.
615 - fix version number.
616
617 0.9 Fri Dec 30 02:25:41 CET 2005
618 - fixed errors in the documentation.
619 - going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
620 as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
621 this method.
622 - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
623 and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
624 glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
625 (older) versions of glib.
626 - implemented PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE env variable.
627
628 0.3 Sun Dec 4 10:43:33 CET 2005
629 - no changes to the code.
630 - fixed documentation.
631 - clarified some corner cases.
632 - vastly improved documentation with a long example.
633
634 0.2 Thu Dec 1 22:18:49 CET 2005
635 - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
636 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
637 - don't die when some modules are not available.
638 - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works.
639
640 0.1 Thu Dec 1 19:44:57 CET 2005
641 - spiced up and cleaned up for release.
642
643 0.01 Tue Sep 21 18:12:09 CEST 2004
644 - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
