1 Revision history for Perl extension EV and the embedded libev library
2
3 2.0 Sat Dec 22 17:47:03 CET 2007
4 - no longer force kqueue when enabled, enable it
5 on more systems (as its now by default not used on most).
6 - expose fork watchers.
7 - switch to libev's MULTIPLICITY API.
8 - use a slightly different include file name strategy.
9 - get rid of (unused) libevent emulation.
10 - 5% watcher management speedup due to callback optimisation
11 when inline closures are used, 5% slowdown due to multiplicity.
12 - very minimal support for dynamic event loops and embed watchers.
13 - fix name of prepare start/stop methods.
14 - create and export EV::sleep and EV::set_*_collect_interval.
15 - fix typos in manpage (Alex Efros).
16
17 1.86 Tue Dec 18 02:36:57 CET 2007
18 - add periodic->at methods.
19
20 1.85 Fri Dec 14 20:32:40 CET 2007
21 - further optimise epoll backend by adding a heuristic that
22 avoids EPOLL_CTL_DEL calls if possible.
23 - EV::signal->start was not async-signal safe.
24 - optimise start/stop when the fd hasn't changed.
25
26 1.8 Tue Dec 11 22:17:46 CET 2007
27 - API version 3:0.
28 - reduced fudge factor to zero for select, poll, epoll
29 and kqueue: your system better be posix-compliant
30 even in its extensions :->
31 - improve long-term numerical stability in periodic watchers
32 by introducing a separate offset value instead of reusing at.
33 - recalculate real/monotonic clocks before blocking fully
34 to avoid blocking for longer than necessary.
35 - fix bugs in the heap functions. this rarely lead to illegal
36 heap orderings.
37
38 1.72 Sat Dec 8 15:31:26 CET 2007
39 - add dummy loop arguments to some EVAPI functions
40 so that clients can use EV_A and EV_DEFAULT.
41 - expose ev_clear_pending.
42 - renamed trigger to invoke.
43
44 1.71 Fri Dec 7 19:10:24 CET 2007
45 - changed/implemented idle watcher priority.
46 - allow out-of-range priorities to be set.
47 - fix ->priority to actually work on started watchers.
48 - improved testsuite.
49
50 1.6 Wed Dec 5 15:06:20 CET 2007
51 - add a missing SPAGAIN.
52 - ripped out EV::DNS, use EV::ADNS for a better backend.
53 - make ev_time callable from EVAPI.h.
54 - add EV::loop_count.
55 - some space optimisations.
56
57 1.5 Wed Nov 28 20:19:09 CET 2007
58 - add inotify backend.
59 - make testsuite even less sensible to timing issues,
60 add more stat tests.
61 - add ->attr, ->prev, ->stat calls to stat watcher.
62
63 1.4 Tue Nov 27 17:35:27 CET 2007
64 - work around a linux 2.4 kernel bug in child handlers.
65 - implement stat watcher interface.
66 - implement fork watcher interface.
67 - io->set did not keep the fh alive.
68 - actively check signal numbers/names to be valid.
69 - cleanups, minor fixes, new bugs.
70 - work around windows bugs in the testsuite.
71
72 1.3 Sun Nov 25 10:46:57 CET 2007
73 - stopping idle/check/prepare watchers could cause data corruption.
74 - implement and document EV::once.
75 - improved documentation, verify that netbsd indeed has the only
76 working kqueue implementation (out of darwin, freebsd, netbsd and
77 openbsd). Praise them!
78 - fix the data method so it might work.
79 - expose ev_ref/ev_unref to the C API.
80 - expose ref/unref in form of the ->keepalive method to perl.
81 - minor bugfixes and portability fixes.
82
83 1.2 Thu Nov 22 05:44:09 CET 2007
84 - disable kqueue by default on !netbsd, as its broken on freebsd,
85 darwin and openbsd and thus almost everywhere.
86 - add some allowance in t/01_timer.t for the uneven monotonic
87 vs. realtime clock tick on at least freebsd.
88 - add -lsocket -lnsl on solaris in case the perl guy forgot to
89 configure them.
90
91 1.1 Wed Nov 21 06:08:48 CET 2007
92 - improved timer test to include periodics and
93 withstand small timing variations.
94 - many minor tweaks to libev.
95
96 1.0 Fri Nov 16 14:51:59 CET 2007

98 - add solaris 10 port-based backend.
99 - add child_ns and fix check_ns.
100 - treat yes/no as enforcement, not as hint, when configuring,
101 documentation update (reported by Andy Grundman).
102
103 0.9 Wed Nov 14 22:24:49 CET 2007
