Revision history for Perl extension EV |

|

1.85 Fri Dec 14 20:32:40 CET 2007 |
| 4 |
- further optimise epoll backend by adding a heuristic that |
| 5 |
avoids EPOLL_CTL_DEL calls if possible. |
| 6 |
- EV::signal->start was not async-signal safe. |
| 7 |
- fix some aliasing issues w.r.t. timers and periodics |
| 8 |
(not relevant for perl). |
| 9 |
- optimise start/stop when the fd hasn't changed. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
1.8 Tue Dec 11 22:17:46 CET 2007 |
| 12 |
- API version 3:0. |
| 13 |
- reduced fudge factor to zero for select, poll, epoll |
| 14 |
and kqueue: your system better be posix-compliant |
| 15 |
even in its extensions :-> |
| 16 |
- improve long-term numerical stability in periodic watchers |
| 17 |
by introducing a separate offset value instead of reusing at. |
| 18 |
- recalculate real/monotonic clocks before blocking fully |
| 19 |
to avoid blocking for longer than necessary. |
| 20 |
- fix bugs in the heap functions. this rarely lead to illegal |
| 21 |
heap orderings. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
1.72 Sat Dec 8 15:31:26 CET 2007 |
| 24 |
- add dummy loop arguments to some EVAPI functions |
| 25 |
so that clients can use EV_A and EV_DEFAULT. |
| 26 |
- expose ev_clear_pending. |
| 27 |
- renamed trigger to invoke. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |

| 57 |
1.3 Sun Nov 25 10:46:57 CET 2007 |
| 58 |
- stopping idle/check/prepare watchers could cause data corruption. |
| 59 |
- implement and document EV::once. |
| 60 |
- improved documentation, verify that netbsd indeed has the only |
| 61 |
working kqueue implementation (out of darwin, freebsd, netbsd and |
| 62 |
openbsd). Praise them! |

|
| 68 |
1.2 Thu Nov 22 05:44:09 CET 2007 |
| 69 |
- disable kqueue by default on !netbsd, as its broken on freebsd, |
| 70 |
darwin and openbsd and thus almost everywhere. |

| 72 |
vs. realtime clock tick on at least freebsd. |

| 74 |
configure them. |

| 88 |
0.9 Wed Nov 14 22:24:49 CET 2007 |
