1 Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2
3 TODO: document TCP_*** constants
4
5 TODO: AE::logger
6 TODO: add debug/trace logging to some modules
7 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
8 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
9 to higher log levels to print by default.
10 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
11 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
12 how that module sucks.
13 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
14 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
15 of 127.0.0.1).
16 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
17 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
18 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
19 intervals.
20 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
21 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
22 which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
23 delivery.
24 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
25 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
26 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
27 of the context as title.
28 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
29 to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
30 to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
31 attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
32 AnyEvent.
33
34 6.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
35 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
36 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
37 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
38 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
39 to work around.
40 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
41
42 6.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011
43 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
44 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
45 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
46 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
47 AnyEvent::Socket.
48 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
49 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
50 methods.
51 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
52 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
53 - DEPRECIATION: please change
54 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
55 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
56 in your programs, for future compatibility.
57 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
58 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
59 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
60 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
61 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
62 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
63 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
64 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
65 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
66 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
67 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
68 a debug shell.
69 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
70 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
71 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
72 /etc/hosts can be found.
73 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
74 configuration.
75 - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
76 PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
77 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
78 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications $_ by the callback
79 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
80 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
81 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
82 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
83 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
84 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
85 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
86 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
87 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
88 supports /etc/hosts overrides.
89 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
90 and (newly introduced) in POE.
91 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
92 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
93 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
94 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
95 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
96 (reported by Gerald Galster).
97 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
98 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
99 do not support blocking waits.
100 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
101 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
102 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
103 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
104 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
105 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
106 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
107 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
108 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
109 - suppress the idiotic warning inside POE by patching the POE::Kernel
110 run flags instead of asking the user to jump through contortions.
111 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
112 - replace PF_UNSPEC by 0, for good old minix.
113
114 6.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)
115
116 5.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
117 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
118 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
119 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
120
121 5.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
122 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
123 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
124 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
125 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
126 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
127 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
128 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
129 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
130 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
131 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
132 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
133 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
134 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
135
136 5.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
137 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
138 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
139 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
140 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
141 documentation for caveats.
142 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
143 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
144 AnyEvent::Handle).
145 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
146 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
147
148 5.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
149 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
150 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
151 the availabilty of a default loop!
152 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
153 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
154 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
155 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
156 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
157 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
158 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
159 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
160
161 5.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
162 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
163 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
164 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
165 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
166 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
167 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
168 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
169 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
170 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
171 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
172 as part of the perl core.
173 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
174 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
175 minimal perl...).
176
177 5.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
178 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
179 actually used in tcp_server.
180 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
181 missing.
182 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
183 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
184 resulting in more informative error messages.
185 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
186 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
187 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
188 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
189 of AnyEvent::TLS.
190 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
191 requested by Ron Isaacson.
192 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
193 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
194 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
195 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
196 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
197
198 5.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
199 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
200
201 5.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
202 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
203 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
204 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
205 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
206 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
207 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
208 - better/more condvar examples.
209
210 5.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
211 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
212 time (found by Andy Grundman).
213
214 5.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
215 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
216 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
217 by Bas Denissen).
218 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
219 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
220 EV and Perl backends.
221 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
222 backends.
223 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
224 never documented nor universally supported).
225 - some more memory µ-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
226 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
227
228 5.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
229 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
230 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
231 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
232
233 5.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
234 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
235 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
236 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
237 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
238 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
239 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
240 by lucky accident on win32.
241 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
242 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
243 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
244 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
245 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
246 detection and eval.
247 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
248 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
249 (same algorithm as EV).
250 - update unicode idna mapping table.
251
252 5.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
253 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
254 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
255 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
256 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
257
258 5.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
259 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
260 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
261 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
262 - provide $AE::VERSION.
263 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
264
265 5.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
266 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
267 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
268 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
269 when passing scalar data to extensions).
270 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
271 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
272 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
273 (John Beppu).
274 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
275 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
276 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
277 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
278
279 5.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
280 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
281 (spotted by David Friedland).
282 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
283 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
284 unless you rip out everything but the core).
285 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
286 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
287
288 5.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
289 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
290 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
291 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
292 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
293 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
294
295 5.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
296 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
297 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
298 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
299 (analysed by elmex).
300
301 5.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
302 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
303 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
304 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
305 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
306 AnyEvent::Handle.
307 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
308 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
309 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
310 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
311
312 5.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
313 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
314 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
315 by Michael S. Fischer).
316 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
317 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
318 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
319 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
320 by default.
321 - fix some prototypes.
322 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
323 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
324
325 5.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
326 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
327 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
328 - port to broken win32 perls.
329
330 5.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
331 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
332 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
333 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
334 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
335 OSes as well).
336
337 5.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
338 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
339 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
340 to reduce dependency on JSON.
341
342 5.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
343 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
344 one (was broken since 4.91).
345 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
346 when retrying a tcp_connect.
347 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
348 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
349
350 5.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
351 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
352
353 5.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
354 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
355 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
356 in AnyEvent::Handle.
357 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
358 settings.
359 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
360 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
361 exporting the probe function).
362 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
363 code to work around it's watcher limits.
364 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
365 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
366 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
367 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
368 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
369
370 4.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
371 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
372 already contains some TLS handshake.
373 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
374 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
375 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
376 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
377 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
378
379 4.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
380 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
381 a negative value, so avoid that.
382 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
383 after the condition is already signalled.
384 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
385 data.
386 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
387 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
388 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
389 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
390 any issues).
391 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
392 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
393 by name (not name or number).
394 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
395 only compiling signal code when necessary.
396 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
397 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
398 said future/alternative API.
399 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
400
401 4.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
402 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
403 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
404 (analysed by elmex).
405
406 4.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
407 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
408 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
409 for errors after every push_write etc.
410 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
411 platforms.
412
413 4.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
414 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
415 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
416 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
417 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
418 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
419 tutorial accordingly.
420 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
421
422 4.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
423 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
424 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
425 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
426 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
427 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
428 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
429 in IO::Async.
430
431 4.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
432 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
433 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
434 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
435 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
436 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
437 documentation.
438 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
439 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
440 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
441 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
442 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
443 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
444
445 4.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
446 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
447 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
448 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
449 this trap.
450 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
451 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
452 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
453 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
454 on_read callbacks.
455 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
456
457 4.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
458 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
459 callbacks.
460 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
461 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
462 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
463 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
464 Event::Lib.
465 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
466 to rarely fail.
467
468 4.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
469 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
470 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
471 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
472 in AnyEvent->io.
473 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
474 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
475 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
476 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
477 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
478 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
479 portable_socketpair.
480 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
481 YMMV.
482
483 4.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
484 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
485 uppercase targets.
486 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
487 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
488 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
489 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
490 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
491 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
492 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
493 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
494 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
495 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
496 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
497 in the common case.
498 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
499 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
500 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
501 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
502 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
503 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
504 from the constructor.
505 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
506 then fall back to JSON.
507 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
508 and because it was documented that way.
509
510 4.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
511 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
512 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
513
514 4.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
515 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
516 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
517 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
518 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
519 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
520 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
521 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
522 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
523 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
524
525 4.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
526 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
527 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
528 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
529 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
530 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
531
532 4.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
533 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
534 and set it on the default resolver.
535 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
536 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
537 when running in tainted mode.
538 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
539
540 4.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
541 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
542
543 4.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
544 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
545 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
546 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
547 destructors.
548 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
549 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
550 implementation.
551 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
552 for cosmetic reasons.
553
554 4.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
555 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
556 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
557 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
558 - sped up Tk timer handling.
559 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
560 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
561 - fix Qt timers without interval.
562 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
563
564 4.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
565 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
566 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
567 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
568
569 4.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
570 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
571 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
572 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
573 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
574
575 4.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
576 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
577 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
578 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
579 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
580 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
581 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
582 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
583 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
584 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
585 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
586 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
587
588 4.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
589 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
590 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
591 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
592 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
593 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
594 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
595 backend.
596 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
597
598 4.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
599 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
600 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
601 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
602 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
603 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
604 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
605
606 4.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
607 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
608 illegal.
609 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
610 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
611 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
612 by Adam Rosenstein).
613 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
614 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
615 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
616
617 4.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
618 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
619 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
620 the socket type.
621 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
622
623 4.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
624 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
625 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
626 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
627 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
628 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
629 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
630
631 4.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
632 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
633 unless one has been installed already.
634 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
635 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
636 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle.
637 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
638 client would first wait for some data by the server and
639 otherwise hang. (reported and analysed in an absolutely
640 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
641 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
642 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
643 (reported and analysed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
644 Rosenstein).
645 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
646 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
647 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
648 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
649 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
650 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
651 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
652 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
653 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
654 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
655 now, more to come, though.
656 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
657
658 4.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
659 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
660 no trace events.
661 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
662 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
663 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
664 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
665 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
666 Time::HiRes).
667
668 4.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
669 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
670 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
671
672 4.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
673 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
674 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
675 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
676 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
677
678 4.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
679 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
680 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
681 perls without resource leaks or worse).
682
683 4.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
684 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
685 the callback.
686 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
687 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
688 eol marker.
689 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
690 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
691 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
692
693 4.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
694 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
695 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
696 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
697 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
698 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
699
700 4.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
701 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
702 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
703 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
704 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
705 unusable way.
706 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
707 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
708 K. Sharifulin).
709
710 4.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
711 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
712 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
713 be delayed under some circumstances.
714 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
715 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
716 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
717 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
718 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
719 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
720
721 4.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
722 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
723 assumption that all data could be written before read
724 (reported by Jim Razmus).
725
726 4.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
727 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
728 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
729 implementation (also affected child watchers).
730 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
731
732 4.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
733 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
734 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
735 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
736
737 4.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
738 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
739 works.
740
741 4.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
742 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
743 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
744 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
745 for AnyEvent::Handle.
746 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
747 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
748
749 4.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
750 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
751 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
752 executing the guard block as warnings.
753 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
754
755 4.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
756 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
757 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
758 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
759 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
760 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
761 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
762 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
763 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
764 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
765 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
766 enter an endless loop.
767 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
768 busy again after idling.
769 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
770 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
771 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
772 (hopefully).
773 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
774 away any time.
775
776 4.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
777 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
778 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
779 - allow more options in on_error.
780
781 4.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
782 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
783 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
784 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
785 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
786 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
787 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
788 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
789 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
790 rfc 2782.
791 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
792 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
793 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
794 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
795 could die. this has been fixed.
796 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
797 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
798 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
799 for resolver class.
800 - update version numbers in all modules.
801
802 4.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
803 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
804 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
805 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
806 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
807 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
808 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
809 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
810 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
811 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
812 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
813 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
814 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
815 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
816 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
817 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
818 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
819 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
820 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
821 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
822 but EV also works around this).
823 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
824 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
825 vs. callback arguments.
826 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
827
828 4.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
829 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
830 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
831 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
832 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
833
834 4.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
835 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
836 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
837 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
838 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
839 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
840 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
841 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
842 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
843 sake of perl 5.8.
844 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
845 (still a hack...)
846 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
847 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
848 die handlers.
849
850 4.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
851 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
852 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
853 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
854 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
855 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
856 - updated documentation.
857 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
858 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
859 in AnyEvent::Handle.
860 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
861 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
862 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
863 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
864
865 4.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
866 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
867 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
868 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
869 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
870 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
871 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
872 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
873 verbatim ip addresses.
874 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
875 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
876 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
877 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
878 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
879 become writable until empty.
880 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
881 returns ENOTCONN.
882 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
883 override.
884 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
885
886 3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
887 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
888 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
889 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
890 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
891 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
892 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
893 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
894 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
895 first and second argument.
896 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
897 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
898 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
899 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
900 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
901
902 3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
903 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
904
905 3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
906 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
907 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
908 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
909 (still subject to change).
910 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
911 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
912 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
913 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
914 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
915 via Coro::AnyEvent.
916
917 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
918 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
919 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
920 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
921 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
922 the different event loops with each other.
923 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
924 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
925 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
926 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
927 kept alive.
928 - document the race between loading of an event module and
929 child processes exiting.
930 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
931 enough, and darn slow).
932 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
933 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
934 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
935 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
936 faster than Event and Glib :).
937 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
938 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
939 to other event loops where possible.
940
941 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
942 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
943 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
944 for the same fh/poll combo).
945 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
946 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
947 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
948 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
949 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
950
951 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
952 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
953 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
954 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
955 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
956 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
957 - do not send the signal to the process group
958 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
959
960 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
961 - major documentation rework.
962 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
963 - fix the child watcher example.
964
965 3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
966 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
967 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
968 don't get fixed anytime soon).
969 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
970 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
971 such strong limits).
972 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
973 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
974 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
975 any restrictions...).
976 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
977
978 3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
979 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
980 up the Coro implementation in general.
981 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
982 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
983 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
984
985 2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
986 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
987
988 2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
989 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
990 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
991
992 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
993 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
994 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
995 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
996 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
997 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
998 (except when Event or EV are installed).
999
1000 2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
1001 - fix bug in testsuite.
1002 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
1003 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
1004
1005 2.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
1006 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
1007 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
1008 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
1009
1010 2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
1011 - work around a perl bug that results in
1012 BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
1013 any discernible reason or error message by once
1014 again not use'ing strict.
1015
1016 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
1017 - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
1018
1019 2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
1020 - child watchers stopped working permanently when
1021 all current child watchers were destroyed.
1022
1023 2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
1024 - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
1025 true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
1026
1027 2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
1028 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
1029 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
1030 - implement signal watchers (experimental)
1031 (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
1032 so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
1033 - implement child watchers (experimental).
1034 - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
1035 most implementation modules.
1036
1037 2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
1038 - better docs.
1039 - simple testsuite.
1040 - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
1041
1042 2.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
1043 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
1044 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
1045 - EXPERIMENTAL:
1046 new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
1047 event model.
1048 - improved documentation.
1049 - reduced cpu overhead.
1050
1051 1.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006
1052 - add COPYING to clarify license.
1053
1054 1.01 Sun Jan 8 05:48:09 CET 2006
1055 - correctly cancel Event timers, avoid memory leaks.
1056
1057 1.0 Sun Jan 8 05:40:58 CET 2006
1058 - allow third-party interfaces to be added at runtime.
1059 - fix version number.
1060
1061 0.9 Fri Dec 30 02:25:41 CET 2005
1062 - fixed errors in the documentation.
1063 - going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
1064 as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
1065 this method.
1066 - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
1067 and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
1068 glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
1069 (older) versions of glib.
1070 - implemented PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE env variable.
1071
1072 0.3 Sun Dec 4 10:43:33 CET 2005
1073 - no changes to the code.
1074 - fixed documentation.
1075 - clarified some corner cases.
1076 - vastly improved documentation with a long example.
1077
1078 0.2 Thu Dec 1 22:18:49 CET 2005
1079 - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
1080 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
1081 - don't die when some modules are not available.
1082 - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works.
1083
1084 0.1 Thu Dec 1 19:44:57 CET 2005
1085 - spiced up and cleaned up for release.
1086
1087 0.01 Tue Sep 21 18:12:09 CEST 2004
1088 - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
1089
