1 Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2
3 3.51
4 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
5 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
6 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dooted quad for
7 verbatim ip addresses.
8 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
9 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
10 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
11 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
12 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
13 become writable untill empty.
14 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
15 returns ENOTCONN.
16 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP brutal
17 override.
18
19 3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
20 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
21 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
22 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
23 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
24 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
25 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
26 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
27 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
28 first and second argument.
29 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
30 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
31 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
32 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
33 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
34
35 3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
36 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
37
38 3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
39 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful
40 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
41 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
42 (still subject to change).
43 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
44 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
45 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
46 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
47 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
48 via Coro::AnyEvent.
49
50 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
51 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
52 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
53 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
54 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
55 the different event loops with each other.
56 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
57 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
58 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
59 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
60 kept alive.
61 - document the race between loading of an event module and
62 child processes exiting.
63 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
64 enough, and darn slow).
65 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
66 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
67 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
68 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
69 faster than Event and Glib :).
70 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
71 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
72 to other event loops where possible.
73
74 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
75 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
76 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
77 for the same fh/poll combo).
78 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
79 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
80 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
81 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
82 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
83
84 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
85 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
86 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
87 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
88 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
89 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
90 - do not send the signal to the process group
91 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
92
93 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
94 - major documentation rework.
95 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
96 - fix the child watcher example.
97
98 3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
99 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
100 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
101 don't get fixed anytime soon).
102 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
103 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
104 such strong limits).
105 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
106 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
107 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
108 any restrictions...).
109 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
110
111 3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
112 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
113 up the Coro implementation in general.
114 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
115 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
116 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
117
118 2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
119 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
120
121 2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
122 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
123 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
124
125 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
126 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
127 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
128 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
129 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
130 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
131 (except when Event or EV are installed).
132
133 2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
134 - fix bug in testsuite.
135 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
136 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
137
138 2.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
139 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
140 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
141 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
142
143 2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
144 - work around a perl bug that results in
145 BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
146 any discernible reason or error message by once
147 again not use'ing strict.
148
149 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
150 - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
151
152 2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
153 - child watchers stopped working permanently when
154 all current child watchers were destroyed.
155
156 2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
157 - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
158 true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
159
160 2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
161 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
162 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
163 - implement signal watchers (experimental)
164 (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
165 so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
166 - implement child watchers (experimental).
167 - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
168 most implementation modules.
169
170 2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
171 - better docs.
172 - simple testsuite.
173 - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
174
175 2.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
176 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
177 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
178 - EXPERIMENTAL:
179 new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
180 event model.
181 - improved documentation.
182 - reduced cpu overhead.
183
184 1.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006
185 - add COPYING to clarify license.
186
187 1.01 Sun Jan 8 05:48:09 CET 2006
188 - correctly cancel Event timers, avoid memory leaks.
189
190 1.0 Sun Jan 8 05:40:58 CET 2006
191 - allow third-party interfaces to be added at runtime.
192 - fix version number.
193
194 0.9 Fri Dec 30 02:25:41 CET 2005
195 - fixed errors in the documentation.
196 - going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
197 as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
198 this method.
199 - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
200 and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
201 glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
202 (older) versions of glib.
203 - implemented PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE env variable.
204
205 0.3 Sun Dec 4 10:43:33 CET 2005
206 - no changes to the code.
207 - fixed documentation.
208 - clarified some corner cases.
209 - vastly improved documentation with a long example.
210
211 0.2 Thu Dec 1 22:18:49 CET 2005
212 - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
213 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
214 - don't die when some modules are not available.
215 - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works.
216
217 0.1 Thu Dec 1 19:44:57 CET 2005
218 - spiced up and cleaned up for release.
219
220 0.01 Tue Sep 21 18:12:09 CEST 2004
221 - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
222
