Revision history for Perl extension EV |
2 |
|
3 |
- (libev) try to avoid librt on GNU/Linux. |
4 |
|
5 |
3.49 Wed Nov 19 11:26:53 CET 2008 |
6 |
- fix typos in manpage (Alex Efros). |
7 |
- increase timing even further, for the ever-overloaded cpan-tester |
8 |
machines, and to the detriment of everybody else who wants a fast |
9 |
make test. |
10 |
- possible 5.6 compatibility. |
11 |
- (libev) use inotify even on buggy kernels, but don't rely on it. |
12 |
- (libev) use inotify only as an added hint on network filesystems. |
13 |
|
14 |
3.48 Thu Oct 30 09:09:48 CET 2008 |
15 |
- (libev) use a generation counter to detect spurious epoll events |
16 |
and recreate the kernel in such a case (sorry, it's slow, but |
17 |
I didn't design epoll...). |
18 |
- (libev) optimise away an EPOLL_CTL_ADD/MOD combo in the epoll |
19 |
backend in some cases. |
20 |
- (libev) use memset to initialise most arrays now and do away |
21 |
with the init functions. |
22 |
- speed up event callback invocation further (~15%), by |
23 |
not creating the object reference each time. |
24 |
- EV::sleep was documented, but not implemented. fun. |
25 |
|
26 |
3.45 Tue Oct 21 22:20:39 CEST 2008 |
27 |
- (libev) disable inotify usage on linux <2.6.25 (kernel bug). |
28 |
- (libev) ev_embed will now automatically follow fork. |
29 |
- (libev) ev_once will now pass both io and timeout events to |
30 |
the callback when both happen concurrently, instead of giving |
31 |
one precedence. |
32 |
- install C library documentation as EV::libev manpage (sorry, oesi). |
33 |
- (libev) fix a minor performance bug in ev_stat handling. |
34 |
|
35 |
3.44 Mon Sep 29 05:16:31 CEST 2008 |
36 |
- (libev) add EV::now_update and $loop->now_update. |
37 |
|
38 |
3.431 Sun Jul 13 00:19:02 CEST 2008 |
39 |
- made the EV::embed callback optional again. reported by |
40 |
Vladimir Timofeev. |
41 |
|
42 |
3.43 Tue Jul 8 20:56:31 CEST 2008 |
43 |
- disabled warnings in EV.pm, the CHECK issue is now understood |
44 |
and harmless. |
45 |
|
46 |
3.42 Mon May 26 07:36:46 CEST 2008 |
47 |
- (libev) work around another bug in windows perls and |
48 |
windows itself: failed connects do NOT set read or write |
49 |
flags in select, but this version of libev will. |
50 |
|
51 |
3.41 Thu May 22 01:39:40 CEST 2008 |
52 |
- (libev) fix many heap-related bugs (timers, periodics). |
53 |
- (libev) improve timing stability of timers and periodics. |
54 |
- expose ev_loop_verify to perl code. |
55 |
- clarify documentation for periodic reschedule callbacks. |
56 |
- verify that the passed callback argument is indeed a code |
57 |
reference, for earlier error reporting and a nice calling |
58 |
speed increase (as well as saving memory). |
59 |
|
60 |
3.4 Tue May 20 21:51:55 CEST 2008 |
61 |
- (libev) work around both a windows bug and a bug in perl's |
62 |
select on windows when not waiting for any file descriptors. |
63 |
- bundle ev.pod into the tarball, just to increase its size |
64 |
(and for the poor internetless person). |
65 |
|
66 |
3.33 Sun May 18 12:43:04 CEST 2008 |
67 |
- (libev) use numerous enhancements such as a more |
68 |
cache-friendly 4-heap and heap index caching for timers. |

90 |
- add ev_sync_* and ev_fork_* to EVAPI.h. |
91 |
