2 root 1.1
3 root 1.244 Changes marked with (libev) are changes in libev, and might have more
4 root 1.185 documentation in the libev Changes file.
5 root 1.223
6 root 1.253 4.34 Sun 08 Oct 2023 23:45:11 CEST
7 root 1.252 - the EV::stat->path method errornously freed the result, causing
8     corruption (testcase by Carsten Witt).
9     - new functino EV::Child::reinit.
10    
11 root 1.251 4.33 Wed Mar 18 13:31:12 CET 2020
12 root 1.250 - the enable assertion makefile question failed to enable
13     assertions due to a typo.
14 root 1.249 - try harder to avoid perl's assert () which does not actually
15     behave correctly.
16 root 1.251 - updated libecb to make it compile under more windows environments.
17 root 1.249
18 root 1.248 4.32 Fri Jan 24 14:21:35 CET 2020
19 root 1.246 - (libev) fixed a bug introduced in 4.31 when timerfds and signalfds were
20     used at the same time.
21     - (libev) 0 is now allowed as requested event mask in io watchers.
22     - (libev) once-per-minute wakeups will now be optimized away when
23     timerfds are available
24 root 1.247 - use the new ev_io_modify in EV::IO->events, instead of the potentially
25 root 1.245 slower ev_io_set.
26 root 1.247 - add a bunch of mutator methods, mostly untested(!): EV::Timer->repeat,
27     EV::Periodic->offset, EV::Periodic->interval,
28     EV::Periodic->reschedule_cb.
29     - minor optimisations and bugfixes.
30 root 1.245
31 root 1.244 4.31 Fri Dec 20 21:57:00 CET 2019
32     - (libev) handle backends with minimum wait time a bit better by
33     not waiting in the presence of already-expired timers
34     (behaviour reported by Felipe Gasper).
35     - (libev) use timerfd to detect timejumps.
36     - (libev) new loop flag: EVFLAG_NOTIMERFD.
37    
38     4.30 Fri Nov 22 21:00:00 CET 2019
39     - (libev) use a different and hopefully even more portable
40     test to disable io_uring when header files are too old,
41     by directly testing LINUX_VERSION_CODE.
42     - (libev) fix a bug in the io_uring backend that polled the wrong
43     backend fd, causing it to not work in many cases.
44    
45 root 1.243 4.29 Fri Nov 22 15:34:29 CET 2019
46     - (libev) add io uring autoconf and non-autoconf detection,
47     the latter of which should disable io_uring compilation
48     on old systems.
49    
50 root 1.241 4.28 Tue Nov 19 13:55:39 CET 2019
51     - (libev) fix ev_port backend, thanks to David H. Gutteridge for
52 root 1.242 - (libev) many bugfixes in linuxaio backend.
53     - (libev) experimental io uring interface.
54 root 1.241 reminding me to actually release the fix.
55 root 1.238 - try to name ev.h more explicitly, to hopefully improve portability.
56 root 1.239 - opportunistically round up wait times for poll and epoll backend,
57     to avoid unnecessary loop iterations.
58     - add build dependency on ev_linuxaio.c.
59 root 1.240 - quickly (re)-ported to minix 3.3 before minix crashed again.
60 root 1.238
61 root 1.237 4.27 Thu Jun 27 09:39:58 CEST 2019
62 root 1.236 - (libev) completely rewritten linuxaio backend, maybe
63     usable as a general-use backend.
64     - (libev) use more aggressive assertions to catch
65     more usage errors.
66 root 1.237 - allow users to re-enable assert() in case it is disabled
67     by perl (which is typically the case).
68 root 1.236
69 root 1.235 4.26 Mon Jun 24 23:39:40 CEST 2019
70     - (libev) included experimental linux aio backend.
71 root 1.234 - allow the linux aio backend to be used by default
72     only when explicitly configured during Makefile.PL time.
73 root 1.233
74 root 1.231 4.25 Fri Dec 21 08:04:26 CET 2018
75     - (libev) updated to libev 4.25, minor fixes and enhancements.
76 root 1.229 - document the requirement to "use EV" when using EV::MakeMaker.
77 root 1.228 - only use __register_atfork with glibc and uclibc, as musl
78     defines __linux__, but doesn't implement the linux standard
79     base ABI, nor makes itself detectable via a macro, both apparently
80     by design, winning the "broken by design 2016 award" - well done.
81 root 1.230 - correct EV::periodic example 24h after midnight -> one day after
82     midnight (reported by Felix Ostmann).
83 root 1.228
84 root 1.227 4.22 Sun Dec 20 02:34:39 CET 2015
85     - (libev) when epoll detects unremovable fds in the fd set, rebuild
86     only the epoll descriptor, not the signal pipe, to avoid
87     SIGPIPE in ev_async_send. This doesn't solve it on fork,
88     so document what needs to be done in ev_loop_fork
89     (analyzed by Benjamin Mahler).
90     - (libev) remove superfluous sys/timeb.h include on win32
91     (analyzed by Jason Madden).
92     - updated libecb.
93    
94 root 1.226 4.21 Mon Jul 13 21:47:33 CEST 2015
95     - allow argument in timer->again.
96     - document timer->remaining.
97     - document default repeat value for timer->set.
98    
99 root 1.225 4.20 Sat Jun 20 13:07:34 CEST 2015
100     - added stability canary support.
101 root 1.224 - truly rely on automatic configuration for clock_gettime and others.
102 root 1.225 unfortunately, this doesn't help with activeperl and similar perls,
103 root 1.224 which define _POSIX_TIMERS without actually implementing any of it.
104 root 1.225 - (libev, ecb) make it compile as C++ again.
105     - (libev) fix a potential aliasing issue when accessing watcher cbs.
106 root 1.224
107 root 1.223 4.18 Sat Sep 6 20:37:23 CEST 2014
108     - use slightly better weay to find includes, to support multiarch
109     on newer perls.
110 root 1.185
111 root 1.222 4.17 Fri Apr 11 06:22:38 CEST 2014
112     - perl5porters broke Async::Interrupt, BDB, EV, IO::AIO, OpenCL
113     without warning by switching the meaning of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
114     in 5.18. What's so attractive about giving a shit about backwards
115     compatibility - I will never understand.
116 root 1.219
117 root 1.221 4.16 Sat Mar 8 16:49:05 CET 2014
118 root 1.216 - make sure EV::CHECK is available at all times.
119     - avoid a spurious warning when perl -w overrides "no warnings".
120 root 1.219 - use perl's signal implementation on WIN32.
121 root 1.220 - ensure extern "C" function pointers are used for externally-visible
122 root 1.221 pointers.
123     - (libev) mark event pipe fd as cloexec after a fork (analyzed by Sami Farin).
124     - (ecb) support m68k, m88k and sh (patch by Miod Vallat).
125     - (libev) in the absence of autoconf, do not use the clock syscall
126     on glibc >= 2.17 (avoids the syscall AND -lrt on systems
127     doing clock_gettime in userspace).
128     - (ecb) work around memory barriers and volatile apparently both being
129     broken in visual studio 2008 and later (analysed and patch by Nicolas Noble).
130 root 1.216
131 root 1.215 4.15 Fri Mar 1 12:15:53 CET 2013
132     - (libev) upgrade to 4.15 - too many changes to list.
133 root 1.214 - EV::run now returns a boolean.
134 root 1.211 - API version 5:1.
135 root 1.214 - document that cleanup watchers are not available via perl.
136 root 1.212 - cast I32 to int in error message printf.
137 root 1.214 - remove dependencies on librt and libpthreads on GNU/Linux.
138 root 1.211
139 root 1.210 4.11 Sat Feb 4 19:56:26 CET 2012
140     - (libev) implement memory fences for (obsolete) llvm-gcc.
141    
142 root 1.209 4.10 Thu Jan 19 18:54:23 CET 2012
143     - (libev) fix a race where the workaround against the epoll fork
144     bugs caused signals to not be handled anymore.
145     - (libev) correct backend_fudge for most backends, and implement
146     a windows specific workaround to avoid looping because we call
147     both select and Sleep, both with different time resolutions.
148 root 1.207 - e_new wasn't declared static (causing very minor .so bloat).
149 root 1.208 - replace more old api names by new ones.
150 root 1.206
151 root 1.205 4.03 Tue Jan 11 14:51:05 CET 2011
152 root 1.203 - do not avoid the clock_gettime call on GNU/Linux anymore, as EV
153     links against -lpthread anyways - as a result, EV might now take
154     advantage of fast userspace clock_gettime implementations,
155     but also links against -lrt.
156 root 1.204 - (libev) lots of event port bug workarounds.
157     - (libev) officially support files in I/O watchers.
158     - (libev) new function ev_feed_signal.

160 root 1.203
161 root 1.202 4.02 Thu Dec 30 08:27:41 CET 2010
162     - the revents argument did not stringify correctly, as only the
163     numeric value was updated, while the string value was kept from
164     previous invocations.
165    
166 root 1.201 4.01 Sun Dec 5 12:42:13 CET 2010
167 root 1.197 - fully support EV_COMPAT3=0.
168 root 1.198 - default_fork was stupidly defined as inline.
169 root 1.199 - ask cpan to upgrade AnyEvent if < 5.29.
170 root 1.200 - support EV_EXTRA_DEFS during configuration.
171 root 1.201 - support -DEV_NO_LOOPS for snakker build.

175 root 1.196 - (libev) lots and lots of bugfixes, see the ev documentation.
176 root 1.187 - fix a bug where inotify usage would parse the same event
177     multiple times, causing various forms of breakage.

185 root 1.191 - (libev) no child watchers on win32.
186 root 1.190 - make code more aliasing compliant, in case perl is ever
187     translated to C.
188 root 1.193 - document the EV::CHECK runtime unavailability.
189 root 1.192 - ported to minix 3.1.7.
190 root 1.187
191 root 1.186 3.9 Thu Dec 31 07:59:59 CET 2009
192 root 1.182 - disable t/07* under automatic testing.
193 root 1.183 - increase t/09* timeouts as netbsd has *horribly* broken
194     select/kevent that *usually* sleep >>0.6s instead of 0.3.
195 root 1.184 - add constants EV::FLAG_NOSIGFD, EV::FLAG_NOINOTIFY and
196     EV::BACKEND_ALL.
197 root 1.185 - (libev) signalfd is no longer used by default.
198     - (libev) backport inotify code to C89.

206 root 1.181 3.8 Sun Aug 9 15:30:10 CEST 2009
207 root 1.180 - implement $loop->signal/signal_ns.
208 root 1.181 - (libev) incompatible change: do not necessarily reset signal
209     handler to SIG_DFL when a sighandler is stopped.
210     - (libev) ev_default_destroy did not properly free or zero some
211     members, potentially causing crashes and memory corruption on
212     repated ev_default_destroy/ev_default_loop calls.
213     - (libev) take advantage of signalfd on GNU/Linux systems.
214     - (libev) document that the signal mask might be in an unspecified
215     state when using libev's signal handling.
216     - (libev) take advantage of some GNU/Linux calls to set
217     cloexec/nonblock on fd creation, to avoid race conditions.

225     - use common schmorp.h header.
226 root 1.176 - add EV::Timer->remaining.
227 root 1.175 - allow for subclassing of EV::Loop (see the exciting

229     - added EV::invoke_pending and EV::pending_count.
230 root 1.171
231 root 1.177 - (libev) ev_unloop and ev_loop wrongly used a global variable to
232     exit loops, instead of using a per-loop variable.
233     - (libev) the ev_set_io_collect_interval interpretation has changed.
234     - add new functionality: EV::invoke_pending, EV::pending_count.
235     - add $timer->remaining.
236     - add EV::loop_depth.
237     - (libev) calling unloop in fork/prepare watchers will no longer poll
238     for new events.
239     - (libev) use GetSystemTimeAsFileTime instead of _timeb on windows,
240     for slightly higher accuracy.
241     - (libev) actually 0-initialise struct sigaction when installing
242     signals.
243    
244 root 1.170 3.6 Tue Apr 28 02:50:37 CEST 2009
245 root 1.167 - keepalive(0) could decrease the refcount of the loop

248     accessible via the XS API.
249 root 1.169 - most EV::<eventtype> constants were missing and have been
250     added :/.
251     - add EV::VERSION_MAJOR/VERSION_MINOR constants.
252     - (libev) multiple timers becoming ready within an event loop
253     iteration will be invoked in the "correct" order now.
254     - (libev) do not leave the event loop early just because we have
255     no active watchers, fixing a problem when embedding a kqueue
256     loop that has active kernel events but no registered watchers
257     (reported by blacksand blacksand).
258     - (libev) correctly zero the idx values for arrays, so destroying
259     and reinitialising the default loop actually works (patch by
260     Malek Hadj-Ali).
261     - (libev) new EV::CUSTOM revents flag for use by applications.
262     - (libev) add documentation section about priorites.
263     - (libev) add a glossary to the dcoumentation.

265     - (libev) optimize a jump out of call_pending.
266     - t/03_keepalive could fail when there was no actual error.
267 root 1.167
268 root 1.166 3.53 Sun Feb 15 02:38:20 CET 2009
269     - (libev) on win32, the event loop creation could randomly fail
270     due to an initialised variable having the wrong value.
271 root 1.165 - (libev) probe for CLOCK_REALTIME support at runtime as well and
272     fall back to gettimeofday if there is an error, to support older
273     operating systems with newer header files/libraries.
274     - prefer gettimeofday over clock_gettime by default.
275    
276 root 1.164 3.52 Wed Jan 7 21:46:14 CET 2009
277 root 1.163 - (libev) fix some issues in the select backend when in fd_set mode.
278     - (libev) due to a thinko, instead of disabling everything but
279     select on the borked OS X platform, everything but select was
280     allowed (reported by Emanuele Giaquinta).
281     - (libev) actually verify that local and remote port are matching in
282     libev's socketpair emulation, which makes denial-of-service
283     attacks harder (but not impossible - it's windows). Make sure
284     it even works under vista, which thinks that getpeer/sockname
285     should return fantasy port numbers.
286    
287 root 1.162 3.51 Wed Dec 24 23:01:59 CET 2008
288 root 1.161 - do not cache the arguments passed to callbacks if the refcount
289     indicates that the callback has stolen them.
290 root 1.159 - (libev) try to avoid librt on GNU/Linux.
291 root 1.160 - (libev) check port_getn return value dfferently, might potentially
292     avoid problems.
293 root 1.162 - (libev) fix a bug with stat watchers possibly causing freezes.
294     - (libev) work around OS X 10.5 breaking poll, now select is the
295     only viable choice left on that pile of garbage.
296 root 1.161 - play tester whore: disable some tests that typically fail only
297     on cpan tester machines.
298 root 1.159
299 root 1.158 3.49 Wed Nov 19 11:26:53 CET 2008
300 root 1.155 - fix typos in manpage (Alex Efros).
301 root 1.156 - increase timing even further, for the ever-overloaded cpan-tester
302     machines, and to the detriment of everybody else who wants a fast
303     make test.
304 root 1.157 - possible 5.6 compatibility.
305 root 1.158 - (libev) use inotify even on buggy kernels, but don't rely on it.

307 root 1.155
308 root 1.154 3.48 Thu Oct 30 09:09:48 CET 2008
309 root 1.152 - (libev) use a generation counter to detect spurious epoll events
310 root 1.151 and recreate the kernel in such a case (sorry, it's slow, but
311     I didn't design epoll...).
312 root 1.150 - (libev) optimise away an EPOLL_CTL_ADD/MOD combo in the epoll
313     backend in some cases.
314     - (libev) use memset to initialise most arrays now and do away
315     with the init functions.
316 root 1.152 - speed up event callback invocation further (~15%), by
317 root 1.151 not creating the object reference each time.
318 root 1.153 - EV::sleep was documented, but not implemented. fun.
319 root 1.150
320     3.45 Tue Oct 21 22:20:39 CEST 2008
321     - (libev) disable inotify usage on linux <2.6.25 (kernel bug).
322 root 1.146 - (libev) ev_embed will now automatically follow fork.
323     - (libev) ev_once will now pass both io and timeout events to
324     the callback when both happen concurrently, instead of giving
325     one precedence.
326 root 1.149 - install C library documentation as EV::libev manpage (sorry, oesi).
327 root 1.150 - (libev) fix a minor performance bug in ev_stat handling.

338     and harmless.
339    
340 root 1.139 3.42 Mon May 26 07:36:46 CEST 2008
341 root 1.138 - (libev) work around another bug in windows perls and
342     windows itself: failed connects do NOT set read or write
343     flags in select, but this version of libev will.
344    
345 root 1.136 3.41 Thu May 22 01:39:40 CEST 2008
346 root 1.135 - (libev) fix many heap-related bugs (timers, periodics).
347 root 1.134 - (libev) improve timing stability of timers and periodics.
348 root 1.137 - expose ev_loop_verify to perl code.
349 root 1.134 - clarify documentation for periodic reschedule callbacks.
350     - verify that the passed callback argument is indeed a code
351     reference, for earlier error reporting and a nice calling
352     speed increase (as well as saving memory).
353    
354 root 1.133 3.4 Tue May 20 21:51:55 CEST 2008
355 root 1.132 - (libev) work around both a windows bug and a bug in perl's
356     select on windows when not waiting for any file descriptors.
357 root 1.131 - bundle ev.pod into the tarball, just to increase its size
