2 |
|
3 |
3.2 Wed Apr 2 17:08:16 CEST 2008 |
4 |
- "ported" again to the Microsoft "C" language. |
5 |
- relax testsuite timing for the benefit of freebsd users once more. |
6 |
- fix EVAPI's ev_time and ev_sleep macros. |
7 |
- (libev) fix select backend on 64 bit architetcures. |
8 |

9 |
|
10 |
3.1 Sat Mar 8 11:41:14 CET 2008 |
11 |
- add ev_sync_* and ev_fork_* to EVAPI.h. |
12 |
- provide EV::Embed->sweep method. |
13 |
- new watcher type: async (not very useful in perl). |
14 |
|
15 |
3.0 Mon Jan 28 13:23:11 CET 2008 |
16 |
- upgrade to libev-3.0. |
17 |

18 |
|
19 |
2.01 Mon Dec 31 01:59:19 CET 2007 |
20 |
- found a minor problem in the testsuite that is only |
21 |
caught by new Test::Harness versions (reported by Andreas |
22 |
König). |
23 |
|
24 |
2.0 Sat Dec 22 17:47:03 CET 2007 |
25 |
- no longer force kqueue when enabled, enable it |
26 |
on more systems (as its now by default not used on most). |
27 |
- expose fork watchers. |
28 |
- switch to libev's MULTIPLICITY API. |
29 |
- use a slightly different include file name strategy. |
30 |
- get rid of (unused) libevent emulation. |
31 |
- 5% watcher management speedup due to callback optimisation |
32 |
when inline closures are used, 5% slowdown due to multiplicity. |
33 |
- very minimal support for dynamic event loops and embed watchers. |
34 |
- fix name of prepare start/stop methods. |
35 |
- create and export EV::sleep and EV::set_*_collect_interval. |
36 |
- fix typos in manpage (Alex Efros). |
37 |
|
38 |
1.86 Tue Dec 18 02:36:57 CET 2007 |
39 |
- add periodic->at methods. |
40 |
|
41 |
1.85 Fri Dec 14 20:32:40 CET 2007 |
42 |
- further optimise epoll backend by adding a heuristic that |
43 |
avoids EPOLL_CTL_DEL calls if possible. |
44 |
- EV::signal->start was not async-signal safe. |
45 |
- optimise start/stop when the fd hasn't changed. |
46 |
|
47 |
1.8 Tue Dec 11 22:17:46 CET 2007 |
48 |
- API version 3:0. |
49 |
- reduced fudge factor to zero for select, poll, epoll |
50 |
and kqueue: your system better be posix-compliant |
51 |
even in its extensions :-> |
52 |
- improve long-term numerical stability in periodic watchers |
53 |
by introducing a separate offset value instead of reusing at. |
54 |
- recalculate real/monotonic clocks before blocking fully |
55 |
to avoid blocking for longer than necessary. |
56 |
- fix bugs in the heap functions. this rarely lead to illegal |
57 |
heap orderings. |
58 |
|
59 |
1.72 Sat Dec 8 15:31:26 CET 2007 |
60 |
- add dummy loop arguments to some EVAPI functions |
61 |

62 |
- expose ev_clear_pending. |
63 |
- renamed trigger to invoke. |
64 |
|
65 |
