5 TODO: log message level redistribute?
6 TOOD: stop internals abusing
7 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "3" (critical
8 and above), and some emssages inside AnyEvent have bene elevated
9 to critical, so.
10 - add google public ipv6 dns as flalback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
11 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
12 of 127.0.0.1).
13 - give guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
14 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
15 intervals.
16 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx.
17 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
18
19 6.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
20 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
21 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
22 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
23 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
24 to work around.
25 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
26
27 6.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011
28 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
29 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
30 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
31 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
32 AnyEvent::Socket.
33 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
34 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
35 methods.
36 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
37 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
38 - DEPRECIATION: please change
39 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
40 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
41 in your programs, for future compatibility.
42 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
43 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
44 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
45 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
46 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
47 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
48 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
49 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
50 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
51 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
52 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
53 a debug shell.
54 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
55 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
56 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
57 F</etc/hosts> can be found.
58 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
59 configuration.
60 - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
61 PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
62 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
63 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications $_ by the callback
64 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
65 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
66 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
67 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
68 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
69 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
70 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
71 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
72 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
73 supports /etc/hosts overrides.
74 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
75 and (newly introduced) in POE.
76 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
77 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
78 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
79 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
80 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
81 (reported by Gerald Galster).
82 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
83 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
84 do not support blocking waits.
85 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
86 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
87 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
88 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
89 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
90 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
91 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
92 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
93 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
94 - suppress the idiotic warning inside POE by patching the POE::Kernel
95 run flags instead of asking the user to jump through contortions.
96 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
97 - replace PF_UNSPEC by 0, for good old minix.
98
99 6.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)
100
101 5.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
102 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
103 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
104 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
105
106 5.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
107 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
108 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
109 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
110 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
111 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
112 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
113 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
114 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
115 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
116 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
117 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
118 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
119 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
120
121 5.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
122 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
123 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
124 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
125 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
126 documentation for caveats.
127 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
128 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
129 AnyEvent::Handle).
130 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
131 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
132
133 5.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
134 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
135 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
136 the availabilty of a default loop!
137 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
138 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
139 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
140 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
141 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
142 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
143 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
144 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
145
146 5.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
147 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
148 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
149 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
150 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
151 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
152 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
153 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
154 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
155 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
156 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
157 as part of the perl core.
158 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
159 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
160 minimal perl...).
161
162 5.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
163 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
164 actually used in tcp_server.
165 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
166 missing.
167 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
168 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
169 resulting in more informative error messages.
170 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
171 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
172 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
173 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
174 of AnyEvent::TLS.
175 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
176 requested by Ron Isaacson.
177 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
178 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
179 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
180 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
181 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
182
183 5.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
184 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
185
186 5.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
187 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
188 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
189 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
190 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
191 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
192 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
193 - better/more condvar examples.
194
195 5.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
196 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
197 time (found by Andy Grundman).
198
199 5.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
200 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
201 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
202 by Bas Denissen).
203 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
204 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
205 EV and Perl backends.
206 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
207 backends.
208 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
209 never documented nor universally supported).
210 - some more memory µ-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
211 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
212
213 5.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
214 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
215 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
216 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
217
218 5.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
219 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
220 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
221 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
222 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
223 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
224 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
225 by lucky accident on win32.
226 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
227 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
228 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
229 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
230 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
231 detection and eval.
232 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
233 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
234 (same algorithm as EV).
235 - update unicode idna mapping table.
236
237 5.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
238 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
239 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
240 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
241 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
242
243 5.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
244 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
245 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
246 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
247 - provide $AE::VERSION.
248 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
249
250 5.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
251 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
252 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
253 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
254 when passing scalar data to extensions).
255 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
256 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
257 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
258 (John Beppu).
259 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
260 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
261 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
262 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
263
264 5.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
265 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
266 (spotted by David Friedland).
267 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
268 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
269 unless you rip out everything but the core).
270 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
271 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
272
273 5.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
274 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
275 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
276 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
277 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
278 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
279
280 5.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
281 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
282 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
283 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
284 (analysed by elmex).
285
286 5.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
287 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
288 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
289 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
290 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
291 AnyEvent::Handle.
292 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
293 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
294 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
295 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
296
297 5.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
298 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
299 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
300 by Michael S. Fischer).
301 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
302 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
303 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
304 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
305 by default.
306 - fix some prototypes.
307 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
308 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
309
310 5.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
311 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
312 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
313 - port to broken win32 perls.
314
315 5.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
316 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
317 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
318 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
319 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
320 OSes as well).
321
322 5.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
323 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
324 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
325 to reduce dependency on JSON.
326
327 5.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
328 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
329 one (was broken since 4.91).
330 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
331 when retrying a tcp_connect.
332 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
333 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
334
335 5.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
336 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
337
338 5.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
339 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
340 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
341 in AnyEvent::Handle.
342 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
343 settings.
344 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
345 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
346 exporting the probe function).
347 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
348 code to work around it's watcher limits.
349 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
350 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
351 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
352 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
353 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
354
355 4.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
356 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
357 already contains some TLS handshake.
358 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
359 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
360 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
361 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
362 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
363
364 4.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
365 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
366 a negative value, so avoid that.
367 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
368 after the condition is already signalled.
369 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
370 data.
371 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
372 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
373 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
374 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
375 any issues).
376 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
377 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
378 by name (not name or number).
379 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
380 only compiling signal code when necessary.
381 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
382 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
383 said future/alternative API.
384 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
385
386 4.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
387 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
388 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
389 (analysed by elmex).
390
391 4.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
392 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
393 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
394 for errors after every push_write etc.
395 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
396 platforms.
397
398 4.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
399 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
400 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
401 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
402 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
403 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
404 tutorial accordingly.
405 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
406
407 4.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
408 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
409 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
410 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
411 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
412 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
413 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
414 in IO::Async.
415
416 4.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
417 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
418 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
419 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
420 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
421 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
422 documentation.
423 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
424 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
425 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
426 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
427 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
428 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
429
430 4.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
431 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
432 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
433 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
434 this trap.
435 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
436 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
437 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
438 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
439 on_read callbacks.
440 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
441
442 4.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
443 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
444 callbacks.
445 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
446 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
447 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
448 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
449 Event::Lib.
450 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
451 to rarely fail.
452
453 4.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
454 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
455 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
456 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
457 in AnyEvent->io.
458 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
459 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
460 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
461 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
462 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
463 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
464 portable_socketpair.
465 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
466 YMMV.
467
468 4.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
469 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
470 uppercase targets.
471 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
472 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
473 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
474 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
475 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
476 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
477 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
478 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
479 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
480 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
481 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
482 in the common case.
483 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
484 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
485 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
486 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
487 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
488 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
489 from the constructor.
490 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
491 then fall back to JSON.
492 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
493 and because it was documented that way.
494
495 4.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
496 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
497 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
498
499 4.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
500 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
501 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
502 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
503 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
504 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
505 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
506 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
507 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
508 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
509
510 4.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
511 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
512 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
513 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
514 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
515 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
516
517 4.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
518 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
519 and set it on the default resolver.
520 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
521 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
522 when running in tainted mode.
523 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
524
525 4.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
526 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
527
528 4.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
529 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
530 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
531 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
532 destructors.
533 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
534 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
535 implementation.
536 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
537 for cosmetic reasons.
538
539 4.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
540 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
541 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
542 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
543 - sped up Tk timer handling.
544 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
545 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
546 - fix Qt timers without interval.
547 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
548
549 4.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
550 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
551 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
552 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
553
554 4.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
555 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
556 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
557 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
558 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
559
560 4.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
561 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
562 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
563 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
564 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
565 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
566 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
567 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
568 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
569 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
570 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
571 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
572
573 4.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
574 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
575 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
576 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
577 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
578 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
579 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
580 backend.
581 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
582
583 4.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
584 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
585 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
586 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
587 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
588 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
589 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
590
591 4.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
592 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
593 illegal.
594 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
595 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
596 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
597 by Adam Rosenstein).
598 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
599 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
600 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
601
602 4.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
603 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
604 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
605 the socket type.
606 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
607
608 4.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
609 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
610 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
611 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
612 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
613 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
614 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
615
616 4.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
617 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
618 unless one has been installed already.
619 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
620 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
621 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle.
622 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
623 client would first wait for some data by the server and
624 otherwise hang. (reported and analysed in an absolutely
625 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
626 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
627 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
628 (reported and analysed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
629 Rosenstein).
630 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
631 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
632 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
633 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
634 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
635 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
636 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
637 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
638 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
639 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
640 now, more to come, though.
641 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
642
643 4.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
644 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
645 no trace events.
646 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
647 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
648 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
649 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
650 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
651 Time::HiRes).
652
653 4.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
654 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
655 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
656
657 4.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
658 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
659 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
660 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
661 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
662
663 4.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
664 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
665 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
666 perls without resource leaks or worse).
667
668 4.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
669 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
670 the callback.
671 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
672 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
673 eol marker.
674 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
675 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
676 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
677
678 4.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
679 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
680 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
681 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
682 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
683 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
684
685 4.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
686 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
687 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
688 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
689 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
690 unusable way.
691 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
692 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
693 K. Sharifulin).
694
695 4.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
696 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
697 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
698 be delayed under some circumstances.
699 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
700 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
701 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
702 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
703 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
704 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
705
706 4.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
707 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
708 assumption that all data could be written before read
709 (reported by Jim Razmus).
710
711 4.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
712 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
713 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
714 implementation (also affected child watchers).
715 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
716
717 4.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
718 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
719 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
720 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
721
722 4.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
723 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
724 works.
725
726 4.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
727 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
728 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
729 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
730 for AnyEvent::Handle.
731 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
732 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
733
734 4.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
735 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
736 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
737 executing the guard block as warnings.
738 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
739
740 4.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
741 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
742 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
743 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
744 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
745 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
746 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
747 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
748 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
749 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
750 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
751 enter an endless loop.
752 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
753 busy again after idling.
754 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
755 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
756 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
757 (hopefully).
758 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
759 away any time.
760
761 4.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
762 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
763 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
764 - allow more options in on_error.
765
766 4.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
767 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
768 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
769 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
770 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
771 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
772 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
773 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
774 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
775 rfc 2782.
776 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
777 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
778 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
779 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
780 could die. this has been fixed.
781 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
782 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
783 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
784 for resolver class.
785 - update version numbers in all modules.
786
787 4.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
788 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
789 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
790 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
791 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
792 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
793 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
794 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
795 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
796 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
797 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
798 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
799 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
800 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
801 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
802 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
803 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
804 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
805 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
806 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
807 but EV also works around this).
808 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
809 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
810 vs. callback arguments.
811 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
812
813 4.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
814 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
815 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
816 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
817 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
818
819 4.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
820 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
821 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
822 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
823 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
824 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
825 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
826 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
827 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
828 sake of perl 5.8.
829 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
830 (still a hack...)
831 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
832 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
833 die handlers.
834
835 4.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
836 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
837 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
838 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
839 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
840 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
841 - updated documentation.
842 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
843 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
844 in AnyEvent::Handle.
845 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
846 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
847 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
848 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
849
850 4.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
851 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
852 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
853 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
854 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
855 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
856 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
857 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
858 verbatim ip addresses.
859 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
860 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
861 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
862 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
863 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
864 become writable until empty.
865 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
866 returns ENOTCONN.
867 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
868 override.
869 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
870
871 3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
872 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
873 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
874 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
875 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
876 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
877 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
878 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
879 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
880 first and second argument.
881 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
882 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
883 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
884 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
885 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
886
887 3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
888 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
889
890 3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
891 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
892 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
893 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
894 (still subject to change).
895 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
896 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
897 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
898 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
899 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
900 via Coro::AnyEvent.
901
902 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
903 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
904 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
905 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
906 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
907 the different event loops with each other.
908 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
909 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
910 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
911 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
912 kept alive.
913 - document the race between loading of an event module and
914 child processes exiting.
915 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
916 enough, and darn slow).
917 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
918 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
919 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
920 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
921 faster than Event and Glib :).
922 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
923 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
924 to other event loops where possible.
925
926 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
927 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
928 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
929 for the same fh/poll combo).
930 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
931 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
932 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
933 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
934 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
935
936 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
937 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
938 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
939 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
940 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
941 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
942 - do not send the signal to the process group
943 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
944
945 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
946 - major documentation rework.
947 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
948 - fix the child watcher example.
949
950 3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
951 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
952 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
953 don't get fixed anytime soon).
954 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
955 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
956 such strong limits).
957 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
958 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
959 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
960 any restrictions...).
961 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
962
963 3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
964 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
965 up the Coro implementation in general.
966 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
967 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
968 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
969
970 2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
971 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
972
973 2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
974 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
975 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
976
977 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
978 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
979 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
980 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
981 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
982 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
983 (except when Event or EV are installed).
984
985 2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
986 - fix bug in testsuite.
987 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
988 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
989
990 2.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
991 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
992 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
993 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
994
995 2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
996 - work around a perl bug that results in
997 BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
998 any discernible reason or error message by once
999 again not use'ing strict.
1000
1001 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
1002 - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
1003
1004 2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
1005 - child watchers stopped working permanently when
1006 all current child watchers were destroyed.
1007
1008 2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
1009 - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
1010 true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
1011
1012 2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
1013 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
1014 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
1015 - implement signal watchers (experimental)
1016 (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
1017 so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
1018 - implement child watchers (experimental).
1019 - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
1020 most implementation modules.
1021
1022 2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
1023 - better docs.
1024 - simple testsuite.
1025 - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
1026
1027 2.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
1028 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
1029 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
1030 - EXPERIMENTAL:
1031 new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
1032 event model.
1033 - improved documentation.
1034 - reduced cpu overhead.
1035
1036 1.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006
1037 - add COPYING to clarify license.
1038
1039 1.01 Sun Jan 8 05:48:09 CET 2006
1040 - correctly cancel Event timers, avoid memory leaks.
1041
1042 1.0 Sun Jan 8 05:40:58 CET 2006
1043 - allow third-party interfaces to be added at runtime.
1044 - fix version number.
1045
1046 0.9 Fri Dec 30 02:25:41 CET 2005
1047 - fixed errors in the documentation.
1048 - going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
1049 as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
1050 this method.
1051 - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
1052 and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
1053 glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
1054 (older) versions of glib.
1055 - implemented PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE env variable.
1056
1057 0.3 Sun Dec 4 10:43:33 CET 2005
1058 - no changes to the code.
1059 - fixed documentation.
1060 - clarified some corner cases.
1061 - vastly improved documentation with a long example.
1062
1063 0.2 Thu Dec 1 22:18:49 CET 2005
1064 - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
1065 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
1066 - don't die when some modules are not available.
1067 - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works.
1068
1069 0.1 Thu Dec 1 19:44:57 CET 2005
1070 - spiced up and cleaned up for release.
1071
1072 0.01 Tue Sep 21 18:12:09 CEST 2004
1073 - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
1074
