3TODO: document embed watchers 3 - (libev) try to avoid librt on GNU/Linux.
4 4
53.49 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
143.48 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
263.45 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
353.44 Mon Sep 29 05:16:31 CEST 2008
36 - (libev) add EV::now_update and $loop->now_update.
37
383.431 Sun Jul 13 00:19:02 CEST 2008
39 - made the EV::embed callback optional again. reported by
40 Vladimir Timofeev.
41
423.43 Tue Jul 8 20:56:31 CEST 2008
43 - disabled warnings in EV.pm, the CHECK issue is now understood
44 and harmless.
45
463.42 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
513.41 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
603.4 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
663.33 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.
69 - remove undocumented ev_timer->at accessor.
70
713.31 Wed Apr 16 20:48:59 CEST 2008
72 - (libev) post-last-minute fix for ev_poll.c problem.
