Revision history for Perl extension EV |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Changes marked with (libev) are changes in libev, and might have more |
| 4 |
documentation in the libev Changes file. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
- the enable assertion makefile question failed to enable |
| 7 |
assertions due to a typo. |
| 8 |
- try harder to avoid perl's assert () which does not actually |
| 9 |
behave correctly. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
4.32 Fri Jan 24 14:21:35 CET 2020 |
| 12 |
- (libev) fixed a bug introduced in 4.31 when timerfds and signalfds were |
| 13 |
used at the same time. |
| 14 |
- (libev) 0 is now allowed as requested event mask in io watchers. |
| 15 |
- (libev) once-per-minute wakeups will now be optimized away when |
| 16 |
timerfds are available |
| 17 |
- use the new ev_io_modify in EV::IO->events, instead of the potentially |
| 18 |
slower ev_io_set. |
| 19 |
- add a bunch of mutator methods, mostly untested(!): EV::Timer->repeat, |
| 20 |
EV::Periodic->offset, EV::Periodic->interval, |
| 21 |
EV::Periodic->reschedule_cb. |
| 22 |
- minor optimisations and bugfixes. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
4.31 Fri Dec 20 21:57:00 CET 2019 |
| 25 |
- (libev) handle backends with minimum wait time a bit better by |
| 26 |
not waiting in the presence of already-expired timers |
| 27 |
(behaviour reported by Felipe Gasper). |
| 28 |
- (libev) use timerfd to detect timejumps. |
| 29 |
- (libev) new loop flag: EVFLAG_NOTIMERFD. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
4.30 Fri Nov 22 21:00:00 CET 2019 |
| 32 |
- (libev) use a different and hopefully even more portable |
| 33 |
test to disable io_uring when header files are too old, |
| 34 |
by directly testing LINUX_VERSION_CODE. |
| 35 |
- (libev) fix a bug in the io_uring backend that polled the wrong |
| 36 |
backend fd, causing it to not work in many cases. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
4.29 Fri Nov 22 15:34:29 CET 2019 |
| 39 |
- (libev) add io uring autoconf and non-autoconf detection, |
| 40 |
the latter of which should disable io_uring compilation |
| 41 |
on old systems. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
4.28 Tue Nov 19 13:55:39 CET 2019 |
| 44 |
- (libev) fix ev_port backend, thanks to David H. Gutteridge for |
| 45 |
- (libev) many bugfixes in linuxaio backend. |
| 46 |
- (libev) experimental io uring interface. |
| 47 |
reminding me to actually release the fix. |
| 48 |
- try to name ev.h more explicitly, to hopefully improve portability. |
| 49 |
- opportunistically round up wait times for poll and epoll backend, |
| 50 |
to avoid unnecessary loop iterations. |
| 51 |
- add build dependency on ev_linuxaio.c. |
| 52 |
- quickly (re)-ported to minix 3.3 before minix crashed again. |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
4.27 Thu Jun 27 09:39:58 CEST 2019 |
| 55 |
- (libev) completely rewritten linuxaio backend, maybe |
| 56 |
usable as a general-use backend. |
| 57 |
- (libev) use more aggressive assertions to catch |
| 58 |
more usage errors. |
| 59 |
- allow users to re-enable assert() in case it is disabled |
| 60 |
by perl (which is typically the case). |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
4.26 Mon Jun 24 23:39:40 CEST 2019 |
| 63 |
- (libev) included experimental linux aio backend. |
| 64 |
- allow the linux aio backend to be used by default |
| 65 |
only when explicitly configured during Makefile.PL time. |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
4.25 Fri Dec 21 08:04:26 CET 2018 |
| 68 |
- (libev) updated to libev 4.25, minor fixes and enhancements. |
| 69 |
- document the requirement to "use EV" when using EV::MakeMaker. |
| 70 |
- only use __register_atfork with glibc and uclibc, as musl |
| 71 |
defines __linux__, but doesn't implement the linux standard |
| 72 |
base ABI, nor makes itself detectable via a macro, both apparently |
| 73 |
by design, winning the "broken by design 2016 award" - well done. |
| 74 |
- correct EV::periodic example 24h after midnight -> one day after |
| 75 |
midnight (reported by Felix Ostmann). |
| 76 |
|
| 77 |
4.22 Sun Dec 20 02:34:39 CET 2015 |
| 78 |
- (libev) when epoll detects unremovable fds in the fd set, rebuild |
| 79 |
only the epoll descriptor, not the signal pipe, to avoid |
| 80 |
SIGPIPE in ev_async_send. This doesn't solve it on fork, |
| 81 |
so document what needs to be done in ev_loop_fork |
| 82 |
(analyzed by Benjamin Mahler). |
| 83 |
- (libev) remove superfluous sys/timeb.h include on win32 |
| 84 |
(analyzed by Jason Madden). |
| 85 |
- updated libecb. |
| 86 |
|
| 87 |
4.21 Mon Jul 13 21:47:33 CEST 2015 |
| 88 |
- allow argument in timer->again. |
| 89 |
- document timer->remaining. |
| 90 |
- document default repeat value for timer->set. |
| 91 |
|
| 92 |
4.20 Sat Jun 20 13:07:34 CEST 2015 |
| 93 |
- added stability canary support. |
| 94 |
- truly rely on automatic configuration for clock_gettime and others. |
| 95 |
unfortunately, this doesn't help with activeperl and similar perls, |
| 96 |
which define _POSIX_TIMERS without actually implementing any of it. |
| 97 |
- (libev, ecb) make it compile as C++ again. |
| 98 |
- (libev) fix a potential aliasing issue when accessing watcher cbs. |
| 99 |
|
| 100 |
4.18 Sat Sep 6 20:37:23 CEST 2014 |
| 101 |
- use slightly better weay to find includes, to support multiarch |
| 102 |
on newer perls. |
| 103 |
|
| 104 |
4.17 Fri Apr 11 06:22:38 CEST 2014 |
| 105 |
- perl5porters broke Async::Interrupt, BDB, EV, IO::AIO, OpenCL |
| 106 |
without warning by switching the meaning of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES |
| 107 |
in 5.18. What's so attractive about giving a shit about backwards |
| 108 |
compatibility - I will never understand. |
| 109 |
|
| 110 |
4.16 Sat Mar 8 16:49:05 CET 2014 |
| 111 |
- make sure EV::CHECK is available at all times. |
| 112 |
- avoid a spurious warning when perl -w overrides "no warnings". |
| 113 |
- use perl's signal implementation on WIN32. |
| 114 |
- ensure extern "C" function pointers are used for externally-visible |
| 115 |
pointers. |
| 116 |
- (libev) mark event pipe fd as cloexec after a fork (analyzed by Sami Farin). |
| 117 |
- (ecb) support m68k, m88k and sh (patch by Miod Vallat). |
| 118 |
- (libev) in the absence of autoconf, do not use the clock syscall |
| 119 |
on glibc >= 2.17 (avoids the syscall AND -lrt on systems |
| 120 |
doing clock_gettime in userspace). |
| 121 |
- (ecb) work around memory barriers and volatile apparently both being |
| 122 |
broken in visual studio 2008 and later (analysed and patch by Nicolas Noble). |
| 123 |
|
| 124 |
4.15 Fri Mar 1 12:15:53 CET 2013 |
| 125 |
- (libev) upgrade to 4.15 - too many changes to list. |
| 126 |
- EV::run now returns a boolean. |
| 127 |
- API version 5:1. |
| 128 |
- document that cleanup watchers are not available via perl. |
| 129 |
- cast I32 to int in error message printf. |
| 130 |
- remove dependencies on librt and libpthreads on GNU/Linux. |
| 131 |
|
| 132 |
4.11 Sat Feb 4 19:56:26 CET 2012 |
| 133 |
- (libev) implement memory fences for (obsolete) llvm-gcc. |
| 134 |
|
| 135 |
4.10 Thu Jan 19 18:54:23 CET 2012 |
| 136 |
- (libev) fix a race where the workaround against the epoll fork |
| 137 |
bugs caused signals to not be handled anymore. |
| 138 |
- (libev) correct backend_fudge for most backends, and implement |
| 139 |
a windows specific workaround to avoid looping because we call |
| 140 |
both select and Sleep, both with different time resolutions. |
| 141 |
- e_new wasn't declared static (causing very minor .so bloat). |
| 142 |
- replace more old api names by new ones. |
| 143 |
|
| 144 |
4.03 Tue Jan 11 14:51:05 CET 2011 |
| 145 |
- do not avoid the clock_gettime call on GNU/Linux anymore, as EV |
| 146 |
links against -lpthread anyways - as a result, EV might now take |
| 147 |
advantage of fast userspace clock_gettime implementations, |
| 148 |
but also links against -lrt. |
| 149 |
- (libev) lots of event port bug workarounds. |
| 150 |
- (libev) officially support files in I/O watchers. |
| 151 |
- (libev) new function ev_feed_signal. |
| 152 |
- fix documentation parts still refering to the 3.x API. |
| 153 |
|
| 154 |
4.02 Thu Dec 30 08:27:41 CET 2010 |
| 155 |
- the revents argument did not stringify correctly, as only the |
| 156 |
numeric value was updated, while the string value was kept from |
| 157 |
previous invocations. |
| 158 |
|
| 159 |
4.01 Sun Dec 5 12:42:13 CET 2010 |
| 160 |
- fully support EV_COMPAT3=0. |
| 161 |
- default_fork was stupidly defined as inline. |
| 162 |
- ask cpan to upgrade AnyEvent if < 5.29. |
| 163 |
- support EV_EXTRA_DEFS during configuration. |
| 164 |
- support -DEV_NO_LOOPS for snakker build. |
| 165 |
|
| 166 |
4.00 Mon Oct 25 13:30:09 CEST 2010 |
| 167 |
- many API changes, see the manual. |
| 168 |
- (libev) lots and lots of bugfixes, see the ev documentation. |
| 169 |
- fix a bug where inotify usage would parse the same event |
| 170 |
multiple times, causing various forms of breakage. |
| 171 |
- greatly reduce stack usage for inotify (8kb to <0.5kb). |
| 172 |
- expose ev_depth and ev_verify via the XS API. |
| 173 |
- implement ev_cleanup watchers. |
| 174 |
- (libev) ev_embed_stop did not correctly stop the watcher. |
| 175 |
- (libev) disable poll backend on AIX. |
| 176 |
- (libev) rename EV_TIMEOUT to EV_TIMER. |
| 177 |
- (libev) add section on accept() problems to the manpage. |
| 178 |
- (libev) no child watchers on win32. |
| 179 |
- make code more aliasing compliant, in case perl is ever |
| 180 |
translated to C. |
| 181 |
- document the EV::CHECK runtime unavailability. |
| 182 |
- ported to minix 3.1.7. |
| 183 |
|
| 184 |
3.9 Thu Dec 31 07:59:59 CET 2009 |
| 185 |
- disable t/07* under automatic testing. |
| 186 |
- increase t/09* timeouts as netbsd has *horribly* broken |
| 187 |
select/kevent that *usually* sleep >>0.6s instead of 0.3. |
| 188 |
- add constants EV::FLAG_NOSIGFD, EV::FLAG_NOINOTIFY and |
| 189 |
EV::BACKEND_ALL. |
| 190 |
- (libev) signalfd is no longer used by default. |
| 191 |
- (libev) backport inotify code to C89. |
| 192 |
- (libev) inotify file descriptors could leak into child processes. |
| 193 |
- (libev) ev_stat watchers could keep an errornous extra ref on the loop. |
| 194 |
- (libev) take advantage of inotify_init1, if available. |
| 195 |
- (libev) the signal handling pipe wasn't always initialised under windows. |
| 196 |
- changed minimum glibc requirement from glibc 2.9 to 2.7, for signalfd. |
| 197 |
- (libev) only replace ev_stat.prev when we detect an actual difference. |
| 198 |
|
| 199 |
3.8 Sun Aug 9 15:30:10 CEST 2009 |
| 200 |
- implement $loop->signal/signal_ns. |
| 201 |
- (libev) incompatible change: do not necessarily reset signal |
| 202 |
handler to SIG_DFL when a sighandler is stopped. |
| 203 |
- (libev) ev_default_destroy did not properly free or zero some |
| 204 |
members, potentially causing crashes and memory corruption on |
| 205 |
repated ev_default_destroy/ev_default_loop calls. |
| 206 |
- (libev) take advantage of signalfd on GNU/Linux systems. |
| 207 |
- (libev) document that the signal mask might be in an unspecified |
| 208 |
state when using libev's signal handling. |
| 209 |
- (libev) take advantage of some GNU/Linux calls to set |
| 210 |
cloexec/nonblock on fd creation, to avoid race conditions. |
| 211 |
- implement internal glue code to interface more efficiently |
| 212 |
with AnyEvent. |
| 213 |
|
| 214 |
3.7 Fri Jul 17 16:49:16 CEST 2009 |
| 215 |
- add EV::loop_verify and EV::loop_depth. |
| 216 |
- use output filehandle for i/o watchers waiting |
| 217 |
for EV_WRITE, otherwise input filehandle. |
| 218 |
- use common schmorp.h header. |
| 219 |
- add EV::Timer->remaining. |
| 220 |
- allow for subclassing of EV::Loop (see the exciting |
| 221 |
EV::Loop::Async module for an example). |
| 222 |
- added EV::invoke_pending and EV::pending_count. |
| 223 |
|
| 224 |
- (libev) ev_unloop and ev_loop wrongly used a global variable to |
| 225 |
exit loops, instead of using a per-loop variable. |
| 226 |
- (libev) the ev_set_io_collect_interval interpretation has changed. |
| 227 |
- add new functionality: EV::invoke_pending, EV::pending_count. |
| 228 |
- add $timer->remaining. |
| 229 |
- add EV::loop_depth. |
| 230 |
- (libev) calling unloop in fork/prepare watchers will no longer poll |
| 231 |
for new events. |
| 232 |
- (libev) use GetSystemTimeAsFileTime instead of _timeb on windows, |
| 233 |
for slightly higher accuracy. |
| 234 |
- (libev) actually 0-initialise struct sigaction when installing |
| 235 |
signals. |
| 236 |
|
| 237 |
3.6 Tue Apr 28 02:50:37 CEST 2009 |
| 238 |
- keepalive(0) could decrease the refcount of the loop |
| 239 |
permanently. |
| 240 |
- add ev_suspend/ev_resume, also make ev_now_update |
| 241 |
accessible via the XS API. |
| 242 |
- most EV::<eventtype> constants were missing and have been |
| 243 |
added :/. |
| 244 |
- add EV::VERSION_MAJOR/VERSION_MINOR constants. |
| 245 |
- (libev) multiple timers becoming ready within an event loop |
| 246 |
iteration will be invoked in the "correct" order now. |
| 247 |
- (libev) do not leave the event loop early just because we have |
| 248 |
no active watchers, fixing a problem when embedding a kqueue |
| 249 |
loop that has active kernel events but no registered watchers |
| 250 |
(reported by blacksand blacksand). |
| 251 |
- (libev) correctly zero the idx values for arrays, so destroying |
| 252 |
and reinitialising the default loop actually works (patch by |
| 253 |
Malek Hadj-Ali). |
| 254 |
- (libev) new EV::CUSTOM revents flag for use by applications. |
| 255 |
- (libev) add documentation section about priorites. |
| 256 |
- (libev) add a glossary to the dcoumentation. |
| 257 |
- (libev) extend the ev_fork description slightly. |
| 258 |
- (libev) optimize a jump out of call_pending. |
| 259 |
- t/03_keepalive could fail when there was no actual error. |
| 260 |
|
| 261 |
3.53 Sun Feb 15 02:38:20 CET 2009 |
| 262 |
- (libev) on win32, the event loop creation could randomly fail |
| 263 |
due to an initialised variable having the wrong value. |
| 264 |
- (libev) probe for CLOCK_REALTIME support at runtime as well and |
| 265 |
fall back to gettimeofday if there is an error, to support older |
| 266 |
operating systems with newer header files/libraries. |
| 267 |
- prefer gettimeofday over clock_gettime by default. |
| 268 |
|
| 269 |
3.52 Wed Jan 7 21:46:14 CET 2009 |
| 270 |
- (libev) fix some issues in the select backend when in fd_set mode. |
| 271 |
- (libev) due to a thinko, instead of disabling everything but |
| 272 |
select on the borked OS X platform, everything but select was |
| 273 |
allowed (reported by Emanuele Giaquinta). |
| 274 |
- (libev) actually verify that local and remote port are matching in |
| 275 |
libev's socketpair emulation, which makes denial-of-service |
| 276 |
attacks harder (but not impossible - it's windows). Make sure |
| 277 |
it even works under vista, which thinks that getpeer/sockname |
| 278 |
should return fantasy port numbers. |
| 279 |
|
| 280 |
3.51 Wed Dec 24 23:01:59 CET 2008 |
| 281 |
- do not cache the arguments passed to callbacks if the refcount |
| 282 |
indicates that the callback has stolen them. |
| 283 |
- (libev) try to avoid librt on GNU/Linux. |
| 284 |
- (libev) check port_getn return value dfferently, might potentially |
| 285 |
avoid problems. |
| 286 |
- (libev) fix a bug with stat watchers possibly causing freezes. |
| 287 |
- (libev) work around OS X 10.5 breaking poll, now select is the |
| 288 |
only viable choice left on that pile of garbage. |
| 289 |
- play tester whore: disable some tests that typically fail only |
| 290 |
on cpan tester machines. |
| 291 |
|
| 292 |
3.49 Wed Nov 19 11:26:53 CET 2008 |
| 293 |
- fix typos in manpage (Alex Efros). |
| 294 |
- increase timing even further, for the ever-overloaded cpan-tester |
| 295 |
machines, and to the detriment of everybody else who wants a fast |
| 296 |
make test. |
| 297 |
- possible 5.6 compatibility. |
| 298 |
- (libev) use inotify even on buggy kernels, but don't rely on it. |
| 299 |
- (libev) use inotify only as an added hint on network filesystems. |
| 300 |
|
| 301 |
3.48 Thu Oct 30 09:09:48 CET 2008 |
| 302 |
- (libev) use a generation counter to detect spurious epoll events |
| 303 |
and recreate the kernel in such a case (sorry, it's slow, but |
| 304 |
I didn't design epoll...). |
| 305 |
- (libev) optimise away an EPOLL_CTL_ADD/MOD combo in the epoll |
| 306 |
backend in some cases. |
| 307 |
- (libev) use memset to initialise most arrays now and do away |
| 308 |
with the init functions. |
| 309 |
- speed up event callback invocation further (~15%), by |
| 310 |
not creating the object reference each time. |
| 311 |
- EV::sleep was documented, but not implemented. fun. |
| 312 |
|
| 313 |
3.45 Tue Oct 21 22:20:39 CEST 2008 |
| 314 |
- (libev) disable inotify usage on linux <2.6.25 (kernel bug). |
| 315 |
- (libev) ev_embed will now automatically follow fork. |
| 316 |
- (libev) ev_once will now pass both io and timeout events to |
| 317 |
the callback when both happen concurrently, instead of giving |
| 318 |
one precedence. |
| 319 |
- install C library documentation as EV::libev manpage (sorry, oesi). |
| 320 |
- (libev) fix a minor performance bug in ev_stat handling. |
| 321 |
|
| 322 |
3.44 Mon Sep 29 05:16:31 CEST 2008 |
| 323 |
- (libev) add EV::now_update and $loop->now_update. |
| 324 |
|
| 325 |
3.431 Sun Jul 13 00:19:02 CEST 2008 |
| 326 |
- made the EV::embed callback optional again. reported by |
| 327 |
Vladimir Timofeev. |
| 328 |
|
| 329 |
3.43 Tue Jul 8 20:56:31 CEST 2008 |
| 330 |
- disabled warnings in EV.pm, the CHECK issue is now understood |
| 331 |
and harmless. |
| 332 |
|
| 333 |
3.42 Mon May 26 07:36:46 CEST 2008 |
| 334 |
- (libev) work around another bug in windows perls and |
| 335 |
windows itself: failed connects do NOT set read or write |
| 336 |
flags in select, but this version of libev will. |
| 337 |
|
| 338 |
3.41 Thu May 22 01:39:40 CEST 2008 |
| 339 |
- (libev) fix many heap-related bugs (timers, periodics). |
| 340 |
- (libev) improve timing stability of timers and periodics. |
| 341 |
- expose ev_loop_verify to perl code. |
| 342 |
- clarify documentation for periodic reschedule callbacks. |
| 343 |
- verify that the passed callback argument is indeed a code |
| 344 |
reference, for earlier error reporting and a nice calling |
| 345 |
speed increase (as well as saving memory). |
| 346 |
|
| 347 |
3.4 Tue May 20 21:51:55 CEST 2008 |
| 348 |
- (libev) work around both a windows bug and a bug in perl's |
| 349 |
select on windows when not waiting for any file descriptors. |
| 350 |
- bundle ev.pod into the tarball, just to increase its size |
| 351 |
(and for the poor internetless person). |
| 352 |
|
