3 | 2.01 Mon Dec 31 01:59:19 CET 2007 |
|
|
4 | - found a minor problem in the testsuite that is only |
|
|
5 | caught by new Test::Harness versions (reported by Andreas |
|
|
6 | König). |
|
|
7 | |
|
|
8 | 2.0 Sat Dec 22 17:47:03 CET 2007 |
|
|
9 | - no longer force kqueue when enabled, enable it |
|
|
10 | on more systems (as its now by default not used on most). |
|
|
11 | - expose fork watchers. |
|
|
12 | - switch to libev's MULTIPLICITY API. |
|
|
13 | - use a slightly different include file name strategy. |
|
|
14 | - get rid of (unused) libevent emulation. |
|
|
15 | - 5% watcher management speedup due to callback optimisation |
|
|
16 | when inline closures are used, 5% slowdown due to multiplicity. |
|
|
17 | - very minimal support for dynamic event loops and embed watchers. |
|
|
18 | - fix name of prepare start/stop methods. |
|
|
19 | - create and export EV::sleep and EV::set_*_collect_interval. |
|
|
20 | - fix typos in manpage (Alex Efros). |
|
|
21 | |
|
|
22 | 1.86 Tue Dec 18 02:36:57 CET 2007 |
|
|
23 | - add periodic->at methods. |
|
|
24 | |
|
|
25 | 1.85 Fri Dec 14 20:32:40 CET 2007 |
|
|
26 | - further optimise epoll backend by adding a heuristic that |
|
|
27 | avoids EPOLL_CTL_DEL calls if possible. |
|
|
28 | - EV::signal->start was not async-signal safe. |
|
|
29 | - optimise start/stop when the fd hasn't changed. |
|
|
30 | |
|
|
31 | 1.8 Tue Dec 11 22:17:46 CET 2007 |
|
|
32 | - API version 3:0. |
|
|
33 | - reduced fudge factor to zero for select, poll, epoll |
|
|
34 | and kqueue: your system better be posix-compliant |
|
|
35 | even in its extensions :-> |
|
|
36 | - improve long-term numerical stability in periodic watchers |
|
|
37 | by introducing a separate offset value instead of reusing at. |
|
|
38 | - recalculate real/monotonic clocks before blocking fully |
|
|
39 | to avoid blocking for longer than necessary. |
|
|
40 | - fix bugs in the heap functions. this rarely lead to illegal |
|
|
41 | heap orderings. |
|
|
42 | |
|
|
43 | 1.72 Sat Dec 8 15:31:26 CET 2007 |
|
|
44 | - add dummy loop arguments to some EVAPI functions |
|
|
45 | so that clients can use EV_A and EV_DEFAULT. |
|
|
46 | - expose ev_clear_pending. |
|
|
47 | - renamed trigger to invoke. |
|
|
48 | |
|
|
49 | 1.71 Fri Dec 7 19:10:24 CET 2007 |
|
|
50 | - changed/implemented idle watcher priority. |
|
|
51 | - allow out-of-range priorities to be set. |
|
|
52 | - fix ->priority to actually work on started watchers. |
|
|
53 | - improved testsuite. |
|
|
54 | |
|
|
55 | 1.6 Wed Dec 5 15:06:20 CET 2007 |
|
|
56 | - add a missing SPAGAIN. |
|
|
57 | - ripped out EV::DNS, use EV::ADNS for a better backend. |
|
|
58 | - make ev_time callable from EVAPI.h. |
|
|
59 | - add EV::loop_count. |
|
|
60 | - some space optimisations. |
|
|
61 | |
|
|
62 | 1.5 Wed Nov 28 20:19:09 CET 2007 |
|
|
63 | - add inotify backend. |
|
|
64 | - make testsuite even less sensible to timing issues, |
|
|
65 | add more stat tests. |
|
|
66 | - add ->attr, ->prev, ->stat calls to stat watcher. |
|
|
67 | |
|
|
68 | 1.4 Tue Nov 27 17:35:27 CET 2007 |
|
|
69 | - work around a linux 2.4 kernel bug in child handlers. |
|
|
70 | - implement stat watcher interface. |
|
|
71 | - implement fork watcher interface. |
|
|
72 | - io->set did not keep the fh alive. |
|
|
73 | - actively check signal numbers/names to be valid. |
|
|
74 | - cleanups, minor fixes, new bugs. |
|
|
75 | - work around windows bugs in the testsuite. |
|
|
76 | |
|
|
77 | 1.3 Sun Nov 25 10:46:57 CET 2007 |
|
|
78 | - stopping idle/check/prepare watchers could cause data corruption. |
|
|
79 | - implement and document EV::once. |
|
|
80 | - improved documentation, verify that netbsd indeed has the only |
|
|
81 | working kqueue implementation (out of darwin, freebsd, netbsd and |
|
|
82 | openbsd). Praise them! |
|
|
83 | - fix the data method so it might work. |
|
|
84 | - expose ev_ref/ev_unref to the C API. |
|
|
85 | - expose ref/unref in form of the ->keepalive method to perl. |
|
|
86 | - minor bugfixes and portability fixes. |
|
|
87 | |
|
|
88 | 1.2 Thu Nov 22 05:44:09 CET 2007 |
|
|
89 | - disable kqueue by default on !netbsd, as its broken on freebsd, |
|
|
90 | darwin and openbsd and thus almost everywhere. |
|
|
91 | - add some allowance in t/01_timer.t for the uneven monotonic |
|
|
92 | vs. realtime clock tick on at least freebsd. |
|
|
93 | - add -lsocket -lnsl on solaris in case the perl guy forgot to |
|
|
94 | configure them. |
