1 Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2
3 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
4 - major documentation rework.
5 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
6 - fix the child watcher example.
7
8 3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
9 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
10 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
11 don't get fixed anytime soon).
12 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
13 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
14 such strong limits).
15 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
16 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
17 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
18 any restrictions...).
19 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
20
21 3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
22 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
23 up the Coro implementation in general.
24 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
25 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
26 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
27
28 2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
29 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
30
31 2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
32 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
33 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
34
35 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
36 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
37 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
38 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
39 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
40 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
41 (except when Event or EV are installed).
42
43 2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
44 - fix bug in testsuite.
45 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
46 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
47
48 2.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
49 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
50 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
51 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
52
53 2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
54 - work around a perl bug that results in
55 BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
56 any discernible reason or error message by once
57 again not use'ing strict.
58
59 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
60 - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
61
62 2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
63 - child watchers stopped working permanently when
64 all current child watchers were destroyed.
65
66 2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
67 - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
68 true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
69
70 2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
71 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
72 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
73 - implement signal watchers (experimental)
74 (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
75 so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
76 - implement child watchers (experimental).
77 - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
78 most implementation modules.
79
80 2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
81 - better docs.
82 - simple testsuite.
83 - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
84
85 2.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
86 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
87 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
88 - EXPERIMENTAL:
89 new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
90 event model.
91 - improved documentation.
92 - reduced cpu overhead.
93
94 1.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006
95 - add COPYING to clarify license.
96
97 1.01 Sun Jan 8 05:48:09 CET 2006
98 - correctly cancel Event timers, avoid memory leaks.
99
100 1.0 Sun Jan 8 05:40:58 CET 2006
101 - allow third-party interfaces to be added at runtime.
102 - fix version number.
103
104 0.9 Fri Dec 30 02:25:41 CET 2005
105 - fixed errors in the documentation.
106 - going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
107 as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
108 this method.
109 - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
110 and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
111 glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
112 (older) versions of glib.
113 - implemented PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE env variable.
114
115 0.3 Sun Dec 4 10:43:33 CET 2005
116 - no changes to the code.
117 - fixed documentation.
118 - clarified some corner cases.
119 - vastly improved documentation with a long example.
120
121 0.2 Thu Dec 1 22:18:49 CET 2005
122 - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
123 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
124 - don't die when some modules are not available.
125 - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works.
126
127 0.1 Thu Dec 1 19:44:57 CET 2005
128 - spiced up and cleaned up for release.
129
130 0.01 Tue Sep 21 18:12:09 CEST 2004
131 - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
