|
3 |
Changes marked with (libev) are changes in libev, and have more |
4 |
documentation in the libev Changes file. |
5 |
|
6 |
4.00 |
7 |
- fix a bug where inotify usage would parse the same event |
8 |
multiple times, causing various forms of breakage. |
9 |
- greatly reduce stack usage for inotify (8kb to <0.5kb). |
10 |
- renamed loop_verify to verify, loop_count to iteration and |
11 |
loop_depth to depth. |
12 |
- expose ev_depth and ev_verify via the XS API. |
13 |
- (libev) ev_embed_stop did not correctly stop the watcher. |
14 |
- (libev) disable poll backend on AIX. |
15 |
- (libev) rename EV_TIMEOUT to EV_TIMER. |
16 |
- (libev) add section on accept() problems to the manpage. |
17 |
- (libev) no child watchers on win32. |
18 |
- make code more aliasing compliant, in case perl is ever |
19 |
translated to C. |
20 |
|
21 |
3.9 Thu Dec 31 07:59:59 CET 2009 |
22 |
- disable t/07* under automatic testing. |
23 |
- increase t/09* timeouts as netbsd has *horribly* broken |
24 |
select/kevent that *usually* sleep >>0.6s instead of 0.3. |
25 |
- add constants EV::FLAG_NOSIGFD, EV::FLAG_NOINOTIFY and |
26 |
EV::BACKEND_ALL. |
27 |
- (libev) signalfd is no longer used by default. |
28 |
- (libev) backport inotify code to C89. |
29 |
- (libev) inotify file descriptors could leak into child processes. |
30 |
- (libev) ev_stat watchers could keep an errornous extra ref on the loop. |
31 |
- (libev) take advantage of inotify_init1, if available. |
32 |
- (libev) the signal handling pipe wasn't always initialised under windows. |
33 |
- changed minimum glibc requirement from glibc 2.9 to 2.7, for signalfd. |
34 |
- (libev) only replace ev_stat.prev when we detect an actual difference. |
35 |
|
36 |
3.8 Sun Aug 9 15:30:10 CEST 2009 |
37 |
- implement $loop->signal/signal_ns. |
38 |
- (libev) incompatible change: do not necessarily reset signal |
39 |
handler to SIG_DFL when a sighandler is stopped. |
40 |
- (libev) ev_default_destroy did not properly free or zero some |
41 |
members, potentially causing crashes and memory corruption on |
42 |
repated ev_default_destroy/ev_default_loop calls. |
43 |
- (libev) take advantage of signalfd on GNU/Linux systems. |
44 |
- (libev) document that the signal mask might be in an unspecified |
45 |
state when using libev's signal handling. |
46 |
- (libev) take advantage of some GNU/Linux calls to set |
47 |
cloexec/nonblock on fd creation, to avoid race conditions. |
48 |
- implement internal glue code to interface more efficiently |
49 |
with AnyEvent. |
50 |
|
51 |
3.7 Fri Jul 17 16:49:16 CEST 2009 |
52 |
- add EV::loop_verify and EV::loop_depth. |
53 |
- use output filehandle for i/o watchers waiting |
54 |
for EV_WRITE, otherwise input filehandle. |
55 |
- use common schmorp.h header. |
56 |
- add EV::Timer->remaining. |
57 |
- allow for subclassing of EV::Loop (see the exciting |
58 |
EV::Loop::Async module for an example). |
59 |
- added EV::invoke_pending and EV::pending_count. |
60 |
|
61 |
- (libev) ev_unloop and ev_loop wrongly used a global variable to |
62 |
exit loops, instead of using a per-loop variable. |
63 |
- (libev) the ev_set_io_collect_interval interpretation has changed. |
64 |
- add new functionality: EV::invoke_pending, EV::pending_count. |
65 |
- add $timer->remaining. |
66 |
- add EV::loop_depth. |
67 |
- (libev) calling unloop in fork/prepare watchers will no longer poll |
68 |
for new events. |
69 |
- (libev) use GetSystemTimeAsFileTime instead of _timeb on windows, |
70 |
for slightly higher accuracy. |
71 |
- (libev) actually 0-initialise struct sigaction when installing |
72 |
signals. |
73 |
|
74 |
3.6 Tue Apr 28 02:50:37 CEST 2009 |
75 |
- keepalive(0) could decrease the refcount of the loop |
76 |
permanently. |
77 |
- add ev_suspend/ev_resume, also make ev_now_update |
78 |
accessible via the XS API. |
79 |
- most EV::<eventtype> constants were missing and have been |
80 |
added :/. |
81 |
- add EV::VERSION_MAJOR/VERSION_MINOR constants. |
82 |
- (libev) multiple timers becoming ready within an event loop |
83 |
iteration will be invoked in the "correct" order now. |
84 |
- (libev) do not leave the event loop early just because we have |
85 |
no active watchers, fixing a problem when embedding a kqueue |
86 |
loop that has active kernel events but no registered watchers |
87 |
(reported by blacksand blacksand). |
88 |
- (libev) correctly zero the idx values for arrays, so destroying |
89 |
and reinitialising the default loop actually works (patch by |
90 |
Malek Hadj-Ali). |
91 |
- (libev) new EV::CUSTOM revents flag for use by applications. |
92 |
- (libev) add documentation section about priorites. |
93 |
- (libev) add a glossary to the dcoumentation. |
94 |
- (libev) extend the ev_fork description slightly. |
95 |
- (libev) optimize a jump out of call_pending. |
96 |
- t/03_keepalive could fail when there was no actual error. |
97 |
|
98 |
3.53 Sun Feb 15 02:38:20 CET 2009 |
99 |
- (libev) on win32, the event loop creation could randomly fail |
100 |
due to an initialised variable having the wrong value. |
101 |
- (libev) probe for CLOCK_REALTIME support at runtime as well and |
102 |
fall back to gettimeofday if there is an error, to support older |
103 |
operating systems with newer header files/libraries. |
104 |
- prefer gettimeofday over clock_gettime by default. |
105 |
|
106 |
3.52 Wed Jan 7 21:46:14 CET 2009 |
107 |
- (libev) fix some issues in the select backend when in fd_set mode. |
108 |
- (libev) due to a thinko, instead of disabling everything but |
109 |
select on the borked OS X platform, everything but select was |
110 |
allowed (reported by Emanuele Giaquinta). |
111 |
- (libev) actually verify that local and remote port are matching in |
112 |
libev's socketpair emulation, which makes denial-of-service |
113 |
attacks harder (but not impossible - it's windows). Make sure |
114 |
it even works under vista, which thinks that getpeer/sockname |
115 |
should return fantasy port numbers. |
116 |
|
117 |
3.51 Wed Dec 24 23:01:59 CET 2008 |
118 |
- do not cache the arguments passed to callbacks if the refcount |
119 |
indicates that the callback has stolen them. |
120 |
- (libev) try to avoid librt on GNU/Linux. |
121 |
- (libev) check port_getn return value dfferently, might potentially |
122 |
avoid problems. |
123 |
- (libev) fix a bug with stat watchers possibly causing freezes. |
124 |
- (libev) work around OS X 10.5 breaking poll, now select is the |
125 |
only viable choice left on that pile of garbage. |
126 |
- play tester whore: disable some tests that typically fail only |
127 |
on cpan tester machines. |
128 |
|
129 |
3.49 Wed Nov 19 11:26:53 CET 2008 |
130 |
- fix typos in manpage (Alex Efros). |
131 |
- increase timing even further, for the ever-overloaded cpan-tester |
132 |
machines, and to the detriment of everybody else who wants a fast |
133 |
make test. |
134 |
- possible 5.6 compatibility. |
135 |
- (libev) use inotify even on buggy kernels, but don't rely on it. |
136 |
- (libev) use inotify only as an added hint on network filesystems. |
137 |
|
138 |
3.48 Thu Oct 30 09:09:48 CET 2008 |
139 |
- (libev) use a generation counter to detect spurious epoll events |
140 |
and recreate the kernel in such a case (sorry, it's slow, but |
141 |
I didn't design epoll...). |
142 |
- (libev) optimise away an EPOLL_CTL_ADD/MOD combo in the epoll |
143 |
backend in some cases. |
144 |
- (libev) use memset to initialise most arrays now and do away |
145 |
with the init functions. |
146 |
- speed up event callback invocation further (~15%), by |
147 |
not creating the object reference each time. |
148 |
- EV::sleep was documented, but not implemented. fun. |
149 |
|
150 |
3.45 Tue Oct 21 22:20:39 CEST 2008 |
151 |
- (libev) disable inotify usage on linux <2.6.25 (kernel bug). |
152 |
- (libev) ev_embed will now automatically follow fork. |
153 |
- (libev) ev_once will now pass both io and timeout events to |
154 |
the callback when both happen concurrently, instead of giving |
155 |
one precedence. |
156 |
- install C library documentation as EV::libev manpage (sorry, oesi). |
157 |
- (libev) fix a minor performance bug in ev_stat handling. |
158 |
|
159 |
3.44 Mon Sep 29 05:16:31 CEST 2008 |

165 |
|
166 |
3.43 Tue Jul 8 20:56:31 CEST 2008 |
167 |

168 |
and harmless. |
169 |
|
170 |
3.42 Mon May 26 07:36:46 CEST 2008 |
171 |
- (libev) work around another bug in windows perls and |
172 |
windows itself: failed connects do NOT set read or write |
173 |
flags in select, but this version of libev will. |
174 |
|
175 |

178 |
- expose ev_loop_verify to perl code. |
179 |
- clarify documentation for periodic reschedule callbacks. |
180 |
- verify that the passed callback argument is indeed a code |
181 |
reference, for earlier error reporting and a nice calling |
182 |
speed increase (as well as saving memory). |
183 |
|
184 |
3.4 Tue May 20 21:51:55 CEST 2008 |
185 |
- (libev) work around both a windows bug and a bug in perl's |
186 |
select on windows when not waiting for any file descriptors. |
187 |
- bundle ev.pod into the tarball, just to increase its size |
188 |
(and for the poor internetless person). |
189 |
|
190 |

311 |
vs. realtime clock tick on at least freebsd. |
