1.71 |
3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008 |
4 |
|
|
- work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao. |
5 |
|
|
|
6 |
root |
1.70 |
3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008 |
7 |
|
|
- complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful |
8 |
|
|
API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented). |
9 |
root |
1.69 |
- AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API |
10 |
|
|
(still subject to change). |
11 |
root |
1.63 |
- take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl. |
12 |
root |
1.68 |
- provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which |
13 |
root |
1.67 |
allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection. |
14 |
|
|
(used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example). |
15 |
root |
1.66 |
- remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent |
16 |
|
|
via Coro::AnyEvent. |
17 |
root |
1.63 |
|
18 |
root |
1.62 |
3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008 |
19 |
|
|
- added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules. |
20 |
root |
1.55 |
- fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive |
21 |
|
|
when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo. |
22 |
root |
1.54 |
- add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing |
23 |
|
|
the different event loops with each other. |
24 |
root |
1.56 |
- prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast, |
25 |
|
|
but doesn't crash with many watchers. |
26 |
root |
1.62 |
- declare Qt support non-experimental. |
27 |
root |
1.56 |
- clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being |
28 |
|
|
kept alive. |
29 |
|
|
- document the race between loading of an event module and |
30 |
|
|
child processes exiting. |
31 |
root |
1.53 |
- support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic |
32 |
root |
1.54 |
enough, and darn slow). |
33 |
root |
1.53 |
- support Wx and Prima through POE. |
34 |
root |
1.60 |
- optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage |
35 |
root |
1.62 |
of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with |
36 |
root |
1.60 |
select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually |
37 |
|
|
faster than Event and Glib :). |
38 |
root |
1.59 |
- roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%, |
39 |
root |
1.62 |
by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar |
40 |
|
|
to other event loops where possible. |
41 |
root |
1.53 |
|
42 |
root |
1.50 |
3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008 |
43 |
root |
1.51 |
- do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks |
44 |
|
|
in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered |
45 |
|
|
for the same fh/poll combo). |
46 |
|
|
- support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions. |
47 |
root |
1.47 |
- implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable. |
48 |
root |
1.49 |
- (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module. |
49 |
|
|
- (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed). |
50 |
root |
1.52 |
- this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof. |
51 |
root |
1.47 |
|
52 |
root |
1.46 |
3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008 |
53 |
|
|
- reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow. |
54 |
|
|
- do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate, |
55 |
|
|
strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue. |
56 |
|
|
- use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls |
57 |
|
|
better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately). |
58 |
|
|
- do not send the signal to the process group |
59 |
|
|
(no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :). |
60 |
|
|
|
61 |
root |
1.45 |
3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008 |
62 |
|
|
- major documentation rework. |
63 |
|
|
- document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies. |
64 |
|
|
- fix the child watcher example. |
65 |
|
|
|
66 |
root |
1.43 |
3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008 |
67 |
root |
1.40 |
- work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the |
68 |
root |
1.43 |
only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently |
69 |
|
|
don't get fixed anytime soon). |
70 |
root |
1.42 |
- lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction |
71 |
|
|
(as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed |
72 |
|
|
such strong limits). |
73 |
root |
1.41 |
- changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors. |
74 |
|
|
- explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported |
75 |
|
|
unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without |
76 |
|
|
any restrictions...). |
77 |
|
|
- add simple manpages for all backend modules. |
78 |
root |
1.40 |
|
79 |
root |
1.39 |
3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008 |
80 |
root |
1.38 |
- Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning |
81 |
|
|
up the Coro implementation in general. |
82 |
|
|
- rename Coro backend to CoroEvent. |
83 |
|
|
- add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should |
84 |
root |
1.44 |
help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them. |
85 |
root |
1.38 |
|
86 |
root |
1.37 |
2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008 |
87 |
|
|
- update for EV 3.0 API changes. |
88 |
|
|
|
89 |
root |
1.36 |
2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007 |
90 |
|
|
- waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life |
91 |
|
|
instead of reporting it to any watchers. |
92 |
|
|
|
93 |
root |
1.35 |
2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007 |
94 |
root |
1.34 |
- force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is |
95 |
|
|
too much breakage outside AnyEvent. |
96 |
root |
1.35 |
- deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl |
97 |
|
|
or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child |
98 |
|
|
watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite |
99 |
|
|
(except when Event or EV are installed). |
100 |
root |
1.34 |

101 |
root |
1.33 |
2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007 |
102 |
root |
1.32 |
- fix bug in testsuite. |
103 |
|
|
- move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent. |
104 |
|
|
- add Coro+EV adaptor module. |
105 |
root |

106 |
root |
1.31 |
2.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007 |
107 |
root |
1.27 |
- add EV to the list of supported event models. |
108 |
root |
1.30 |
- do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them. |
109 |
root |
1.29 |
- allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers. |
110 |
root |
1.27 |
|
111 |
root |
1.25 |
2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007 |
112 |
|
|
- work around a perl bug that results in |
113 |
|
|
BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without |
114 |
|
|
any discernible reason or error message by once |
115 |
|
|
again not use'ing strict. |
116 |
|
|
|
117 |
root |
1.24 |
2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007 |
118 |
|
|
- make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex). |
119 |
|
|
|
120 |
root |
1.22 |
2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007 |
121 |
|
|
- child watchers stopped working permanently when |
122 |
root |
1.23 |
all current child watchers were destroyed. |
123 |
root |
1.22 |
|
124 |
root |
1.21 |
2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006 |
125 |
|
|
- work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns |
126 |
|
|
true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/. |
127 |
|
|
|
128 |
root |
1.20 |
2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006 |
129 |
root |
1.19 |
- avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it. |
130 |
root |
1.20 |
- AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection. |
131 |
|
|
- implement signal watchers (experimental) |
132 |
|
|
(Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least), |
133 |
|
|
so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk). |
134 |
|
|
- implement child watchers (experimental). |
135 |
|
|
- moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying |
136 |
|
|
most implementation modules. |
137 |
root |

138 |
root |
1.18 |
2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006 |

1.16 |
- better docs. |
140 |
|
|
- simple testsuite. |
141 |
root |
1.17 |
- added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes. |

143 |
root |
1.15 |
2.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006 |
144 |
root |
1.13 |
- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both. |
145 |
|
|
- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore. |
146 |
|
|
- EXPERIMENTAL: |
147 |
|
|
new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable |
148 |
|
|
event model. |
149 |
root |
1.12 |
- improved documentation. |
150 |
|
|
- reduced cpu overhead. |
151 |

root |
1.10 |
1.01 Sun Jan 8 05:48:09 CET 2006 |

1.9 |
1.0 Sun Jan 8 05:40:58 CET 2006 |
159 |
root |
1.8 |

162 |
root |
1.7 |
0.9 Fri Dec 30 02:25:41 CET 2005 |
163 |
root |
1.6 |
- fixed errors in the documentation. |
164 |
root |
1.7 |
- going back to using $VERSION as "load check", |
165 |
|
|
as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using |
166 |
|
|
this method. |
167 |
|
|
- add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib |
168 |
|
|
and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of |
169 |
|
|
glib seem to require this, while this breaks other |
170 |
|
|
(older) versions of glib. |
171 |
|
|
- implemented PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE env variable. |
172 |

173 |
root |
1.5 |

176 |
|
|
- clarified some corner cases. |
177 |
|
|
- vastly improved documentation with a long example. |

179 |
root |
1.3 |
0.2 Thu Dec 1 22:18:49 CET 2005 |
180 |
root |
1.44 |
- check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops. |
181 |
root |
1.4 |
- move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer). |
182 |
|
|
- don't die when some modules are not available. |
183 |
|
|
- Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works. |
184 |
