Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. |
2 |
|
3 |
- properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly. |
4 |
- check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6 |
5 |
support entirely. |
6 |
- vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows |
7 |
(still a hack...) |
8 |
- try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found. |
9 |
|
10 |
4.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008 |
11 |
- work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented |
12 |
error codes for sysread, syswrite etc. |
13 |
- fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push. |
14 |
- AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes. |
15 |
- fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's. |
16 |
- updated documentation. |
17 |
- lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks. |
18 |
- implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes |
19 |
in AnyEvent::Handle. |
20 |
- support IPv6 in tcp_server. |
21 |
- pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server. |
22 |
- make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle. |
23 |
- croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle; |
24 |
|
25 |
4.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008 |
26 |
- added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module. |
27 |
- added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module. |
28 |
- added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle. |
29 |
- make condvar->end call ->send as documented. |
30 |
- make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument. |
31 |
- overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references. |
32 |
- support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for |
33 |
verbatim ip addresses. |
34 |
- AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore. |
35 |
- try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls. |
36 |
- make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle. |
37 |
- support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server. |
38 |
- work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to |
39 |
become writable untill empty. |
40 |
- only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername |
41 |
returns ENOTCONN. |
42 |
- defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP brutal |
43 |
override. |
44 |
- new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel. |
45 |
|
46 |
3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008 |
47 |
- gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC |
48 |
(as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41). |
49 |
- added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server |
50 |
helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class. |
51 |
- added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle). |
52 |
- added AnyEvent::Util::guard. |
53 |
- AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions. |
54 |
- fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as |
55 |
first and second argument. |
56 |
- simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line. |
57 |
- fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax. |
58 |
- considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support |
59 |
cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de) |
60 |
and aaaa records if no a record could be found. |
61 |
|
62 |
3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008 |
63 |
- work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao. |
64 |
|
65 |
3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008 |
66 |
- complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful |
67 |
API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented). |
68 |
- AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API |
69 |
(still subject to change). |
70 |
- take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl. |
71 |
- provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which |
72 |
allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection. |
73 |
(used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example). |
74 |
- remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent |
75 |
via Coro::AnyEvent. |
76 |
|
77 |
3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008 |
78 |
- added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules. |
79 |
- fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive |
80 |
when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo. |
81 |
- add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing |
82 |
the different event loops with each other. |
83 |
- prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast, |
84 |
but doesn't crash with many watchers. |
85 |
- declare Qt support non-experimental. |
86 |
- clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being |
87 |
kept alive. |
88 |
- document the race between loading of an event module and |
89 |
child processes exiting. |
90 |
- support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic |
91 |
enough, and darn slow). |
92 |
- support Wx and Prima through POE. |
93 |
- optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage |
94 |
of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with |
95 |
select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually |
96 |
faster than Event and Glib :). |
97 |
- roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%, |
98 |
by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar |
99 |
to other event loops where possible. |
100 |
|
101 |
3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008 |
102 |
- do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks |
103 |
in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered |
104 |
for the same fh/poll combo). |
105 |
- support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions. |
106 |
- implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable. |
107 |
- (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module. |
108 |
- (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed). |
109 |
- this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof. |
110 |
|
111 |
3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008 |
112 |
- reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow. |
113 |
- do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate, |
114 |
strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue. |
115 |
- use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls |
116 |
better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately). |
117 |
- do not send the signal to the process group |
118 |
(no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :). |
119 |
|
120 |
3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008 |
121 |
- major documentation rework. |
122 |
- document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies. |
123 |
- fix the child watcher example. |
124 |
|
125 |
3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008 |
126 |
- work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the |
127 |
only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently |
128 |
don't get fixed anytime soon). |
129 |
- lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction |
130 |
(as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed |
131 |
such strong limits). |
132 |
- changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors. |
133 |
- explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported |
134 |
unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without |
135 |
any restrictions...). |
136 |
- add simple manpages for all backend modules. |
137 |
|
138 |
3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008 |
139 |
- Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning |
140 |
up the Coro implementation in general. |
141 |
- rename Coro backend to CoroEvent. |
142 |
- add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should |
143 |
help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them. |
144 |
|
145 |
2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008 |
146 |
- update for EV 3.0 API changes. |
147 |
|
148 |
2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007 |
149 |
- waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life |
150 |
instead of reporting it to any watchers. |
151 |
|
152 |
2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007 |
153 |
- force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is |
154 |
too much breakage outside AnyEvent. |
155 |
- deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl |
156 |
or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child |
157 |
watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite |
158 |
(except when Event or EV are installed). |
159 |
|
160 |
2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007 |
161 |
- fix bug in testsuite. |
162 |
- move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent. |
163 |
- add Coro+EV adaptor module. |
164 |
|
165 |
2.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007 |
166 |
- add EV to the list of supported event models. |
167 |
- do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them. |
168 |
- allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers. |
169 |
|
170 |
2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007 |
171 |
- work around a perl bug that results in |
172 |
BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without |
173 |
any discernible reason or error message by once |
174 |
again not use'ing strict. |
175 |
|
176 |
2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007 |
177 |
- make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex). |
178 |
|
179 |
2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007 |
180 |
- child watchers stopped working permanently when |
181 |
all current child watchers were destroyed. |
182 |
|
183 |
2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006 |
184 |
- work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns |
185 |
true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/. |
186 |
|
187 |
2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006 |
188 |
- avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it. |
189 |
- AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection. |
190 |
- implement signal watchers (experimental) |
191 |
(Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least), |
192 |
so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk). |
193 |
- implement child watchers (experimental). |
194 |
- moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying |
195 |
most implementation modules. |
196 |
|
197 |
2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006 |
198 |
- better docs. |
199 |
- simple testsuite. |
200 |
- added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes. |
201 |
|
202 |
2.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006 |
203 |
- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both. |
204 |
- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore. |
205 |
- EXPERIMENTAL: |
206 |
new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable |
207 |
event model. |
208 |
- improved documentation. |
209 |
- reduced cpu overhead. |
210 |
|
211 |
1.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006 |
212 |
- add COPYING to clarify license. |
213 |
|
214 |
1.01 Sun Jan 8 05:48:09 CET 2006 |
215 |
- correctly cancel Event timers, avoid memory leaks. |
216 |
|
217 |
1.0 Sun Jan 8 05:40:58 CET 2006 |
218 |
- allow third-party interfaces to be added at runtime. |
219 |
- fix version number. |
220 |
|
221 |
0.9 Fri Dec 30 02:25:41 CET 2005 |
222 |
- fixed errors in the documentation. |
223 |
- going back to using $VERSION as "load check", |
224 |
as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using |
225 |
this method. |
226 |
- add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib |
227 |
and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of |
228 |
glib seem to require this, while this breaks other |
229 |
(older) versions of glib. |
230 |
- implemented PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE env variable. |
231 |
|
232 |
0.3 Sun Dec 4 10:43:33 CET 2005 |
233 |
- no changes to the code. |
234 |
- fixed documentation. |
235 |
- clarified some corner cases. |
236 |
- vastly improved documentation with a long example. |
237 |
|
238 |
0.2 Thu Dec 1 22:18:49 CET 2005 |
239 |
- check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops. |
240 |
- move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer). |
241 |
- don't die when some modules are not available. |
242 |
- Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works. |
243 |
|
244 |
0.1 Thu Dec 1 19:44:57 CET 2005 |
245 |
- spiced up and cleaned up for release. |
246 |
|
247 |
0.01 Tue Sep 21 18:12:09 CEST 2004 |
248 |
- original version; copied from Convert::Scalar. |
249 |
|
