2 | |
|
|
3 | - (libev) fix some issues in the select backend when in fd_set mode. |
|
|
4 | - (libev) due to a thinko, instead of disabling everything but |
|
|
5 | select on the borked OS X platform, everything but select was |
|
|
6 | allowed (reported by Emanuele Giaquinta). |
|
|
7 | - (libev) actually verify that local and remote port are matching in |
|
|
8 | libev's socketpair emulation, which makes denial-of-service |
|
|
9 | attacks harder (but not impossible - it's windows). Make sure |
|
|
10 | it even works under vista, which thinks that getpeer/sockname |
|
|
11 | should return fantasy port numbers. |
|
|

13 | 3.51 Wed Dec 24 23:01:59 CET 2008 |
|
|
14 | - do not cache the arguments passed to callbacks if the refcount |
|
|
15 | indicates that the callback has stolen them. |
|
|
16 | - (libev) try to avoid librt on GNU/Linux. |
|
|
17 | - (libev) check port_getn return value dfferently, might potentially |
|
|
18 | avoid problems. |
|
|
19 | - (libev) fix a bug with stat watchers possibly causing freezes. |
|
|
20 | - (libev) work around OS X 10.5 breaking poll, now select is the |
|
|
21 | only viable choice left on that pile of garbage. |
|
|
22 | - play tester whore: disable some tests that typically fail only |
|
|
23 | on cpan tester machines. |
|
|
24 | |
|
|
25 | 3.49 Wed Nov 19 11:26:53 CET 2008 |
|
|
26 | - fix typos in manpage (Alex Efros). |
|
|
27 | - increase timing even further, for the ever-overloaded cpan-tester |
|
|
28 | machines, and to the detriment of everybody else who wants a fast |
|
|
29 | make test. |
|
|
30 | - possible 5.6 compatibility. |
|
|
31 | - (libev) use inotify even on buggy kernels, but don't rely on it. |
|
|
32 | - (libev) use inotify only as an added hint on network filesystems. |
|
|
33 | |
|
|
34 | 3.48 Thu Oct 30 09:09:48 CET 2008 |
|
|
35 | - (libev) use a generation counter to detect spurious epoll events |
|
|
36 | and recreate the kernel in such a case (sorry, it's slow, but |
|
|
37 | I didn't design epoll...). |
|
|
38 | - (libev) optimise away an EPOLL_CTL_ADD/MOD combo in the epoll |
|
|
39 | backend in some cases. |
|
|
40 | - (libev) use memset to initialise most arrays now and do away |
|
|
41 | with the init functions. |
|
|
42 | - speed up event callback invocation further (~15%), by |
|
|
43 | not creating the object reference each time. |
|
|
44 | - EV::sleep was documented, but not implemented. fun. |
|
|
45 | |
|
|
46 | 3.45 Tue Oct 21 22:20:39 CEST 2008 |
|
|
47 | - (libev) disable inotify usage on linux <2.6.25 (kernel bug). |
|
|
48 | - (libev) ev_embed will now automatically follow fork. |
|
|
49 | - (libev) ev_once will now pass both io and timeout events to |
|
|
50 | the callback when both happen concurrently, instead of giving |
|
|
51 | one precedence. |
|
|
52 | - install C library documentation as EV::libev manpage (sorry, oesi). |
|
|
53 | - (libev) fix a minor performance bug in ev_stat handling. |
|
|
54 | |
|
|
55 | 3.44 Mon Sep 29 05:16:31 CEST 2008 |
|
|
56 | - (libev) add EV::now_update and $loop->now_update. |
|
|
57 | |
|
|
58 | 3.431 Sun Jul 13 00:19:02 CEST 2008 |
|
|
59 | - made the EV::embed callback optional again. reported by |
|
|
60 | Vladimir Timofeev. |
|
|
61 | |
|
|
62 | 3.43 Tue Jul 8 20:56:31 CEST 2008 |
|
|
63 | - disabled warnings in EV.pm, the CHECK issue is now understood |
|
|
64 | and harmless. |
|
|
65 | |
|
|
66 | 3.42 Mon May 26 07:36:46 CEST 2008 |
|
|
67 | - (libev) work around another bug in windows perls and |
|
|
68 | windows itself: failed connects do NOT set read or write |
|
|
69 | flags in select, but this version of libev will. |
