3 | Changes marked with (libev) are changes in libev, and have more |
|
|
4 | documentation in the libev Changes file. |
|
|
5 | |
|
|
6 | - fix a bug where inotify usage would parse the same event |
|
|
7 | multiple times, causing various forms of breakage. |
|
|
8 | - greatly reduce stack usage for inotify (8kb to <0.5kb). |

10 | 3.9 Thu Dec 31 07:59:59 CET 2009 |
|
|
11 | - disable t/07* under automatic testing. |
|
|
12 | - increase t/09* timeouts as netbsd has *horribly* broken |
|
|
13 | select/kevent that *usually* sleep >>0.6s instead of 0.3. |
|
|
14 | - add constants EV::FLAG_NOSIGFD, EV::FLAG_NOINOTIFY and |
|
|
15 | EV::BACKEND_ALL. |
|
|
16 | - (libev) signalfd is no longer used by default. |
|
|
17 | - (libev) backport inotify code to C89. |
|
|
18 | - (libev) inotify file descriptors could leak into child processes. |
|
|
19 | - (libev) ev_stat watchers could keep an errornous extra ref on the loop. |
|
|
20 | - (libev) take advantage of inotify_init1, if available. |
|
|
21 | - (libev) the signal handling pipe wasn't always initialised under windows. |
|
|
22 | - changed minimum glibc requirement from glibc 2.9 to 2.7, for signalfd. |
|
|
23 | - (libev) only replace ev_stat.prev when we detect an actual difference. |
|
|
24 | |
|
|
25 | 3.8 Sun Aug 9 15:30:10 CEST 2009 |
|
|
26 | - implement $loop->signal/signal_ns. |
|
|
27 | - (libev) incompatible change: do not necessarily reset signal |
|
|
28 | handler to SIG_DFL when a sighandler is stopped. |
|
|
29 | - (libev) ev_default_destroy did not properly free or zero some |
|
|
30 | members, potentially causing crashes and memory corruption on |
|
|
31 | repated ev_default_destroy/ev_default_loop calls. |
|
|
32 | - (libev) take advantage of signalfd on GNU/Linux systems. |
|
|
33 | - (libev) document that the signal mask might be in an unspecified |
|
|
34 | state when using libev's signal handling. |
|
|
35 | - (libev) take advantage of some GNU/Linux calls to set |
|
|
36 | cloexec/nonblock on fd creation, to avoid race conditions. |
|
|
37 | - implement internal glue code to interface more efficiently |
|
|
38 | with AnyEvent. |
|
|
39 | |
|
|
40 | 3.7 Fri Jul 17 16:49:16 CEST 2009 |
|
|
41 | - add EV::loop_verify and EV::loop_depth. |
|
|
42 | - use output filehandle for i/o watchers waiting |
|
|
43 | for EV_WRITE, otherwise input filehandle. |
|
|
44 | - use common schmorp.h header. |
|
|
45 | - add EV::Timer->remaining. |
|
|
46 | - allow for subclassing of EV::Loop (see the exciting |
|
|
47 | EV::Loop::Async module for an example). |
|
|
48 | - added EV::invoke_pending and EV::pending_count. |
|
|
49 | |
|
|
50 | - (libev) ev_unloop and ev_loop wrongly used a global variable to |
|
|
51 | exit loops, instead of using a per-loop variable. |
|
|
52 | - (libev) the ev_set_io_collect_interval interpretation has changed. |
|
|
53 | - add new functionality: EV::invoke_pending, EV::pending_count. |
|
|
54 | - add $timer->remaining. |
|
|
55 | - add EV::loop_depth. |
|
|
56 | - (libev) calling unloop in fork/prepare watchers will no longer poll |
|
|
57 | for new events. |
|
|
58 | - (libev) use GetSystemTimeAsFileTime instead of _timeb on windows, |
|
|
59 | for slightly higher accuracy. |
|
|
60 | - (libev) actually 0-initialise struct sigaction when installing |
|
|
61 | signals. |
|
|
