Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. |
2 |
|
3 |
- add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing |
4 |
the different event loops with each other. |
5 |
- make Qt and Event::Lib support non-experimental. |
6 |
- support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic |
7 |
enough, and darn slow). |
8 |
- support Wx and Prima through POE. |

3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008 |
11 |
- do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks |
12 |
in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered |
13 |
for the same fh/poll combo). |
14 |
- support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions. |
15 |
- implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable. |
16 |
- (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module. |
17 |
- (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed). |
18 |
- this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof. |

3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008 |
21 |
- reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow. |
22 |
- do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate, |
23 |
strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue. |
24 |
- use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls |
25 |
better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately). |
26 |
- do not send the signal to the process group |
27 |
(no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :). |
28 |
|
29 |
3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008 |
30 |
- major documentation rework. |
31 |
- document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies. |
32 |
- fix the child watcher example. |
33 |
|
34 |
3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008 |
35 |
- work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the |
36 |
only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently |
37 |
don't get fixed anytime soon). |
38 |
- lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction |
39 |
(as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed |
40 |
such strong limits). |
41 |
- changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors. |
42 |
- explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported |
43 |
unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without |
44 |
any restrictions...). |
45 |
- add simple manpages for all backend modules. |
46 |
|
47 |
3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008 |
48 |
- Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning |
49 |
up the Coro implementation in general. |
50 |
- rename Coro backend to CoroEvent. |
51 |
- add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should |
52 |
help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them. |
53 |
|
54 |
2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008 |
55 |
- update for EV 3.0 API changes. |
56 |
|
57 |
2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007 |
58 |
- waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life |
59 |
instead of reporting it to any watchers. |
60 |
|
61 |
2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007 |
62 |
- force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is |
63 |
too much breakage outside AnyEvent. |
64 |
- deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl |
65 |
or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child |
66 |
watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite |
67 |
(except when Event or EV are installed). |
68 |
|
69 |
2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007 |
70 |
- fix bug in testsuite. |
71 |
- move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent. |
72 |
- add Coro+EV adaptor module. |
73 |
|
74 |
2.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007 |
75 |
- add EV to the list of supported event models. |
76 |
- do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them. |
77 |
- allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers. |
78 |
|
79 |
2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007 |
80 |
- work around a perl bug that results in |
81 |
BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without |
82 |
any discernible reason or error message by once |
83 |
again not use'ing strict. |
84 |
|
85 |
2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007 |
86 |
- make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex). |
87 |
|
88 |
2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007 |
89 |
- child watchers stopped working permanently when |
90 |
all current child watchers were destroyed. |
91 |
|
92 |
2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006 |
93 |
- work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns |
94 |
true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/. |
95 |
|
96 |
2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006 |
97 |
- avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it. |
98 |
- AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection. |
99 |
- implement signal watchers (experimental) |
100 |
(Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least), |
101 |
so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk). |
102 |
- implement child watchers (experimental). |
103 |
- moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying |
104 |
most implementation modules. |
105 |
|
106 |
2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006 |
107 |
- better docs. |
108 |
- simple testsuite. |
109 |
- added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes. |
110 |
|
111 |
2.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006 |
112 |
- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both. |
113 |
- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore. |
114 |
- EXPERIMENTAL: |
115 |
new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable |
116 |
event model. |
117 |
- improved documentation. |
118 |
- reduced cpu overhead. |
119 |
|
120 |
1.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006 |
121 |
- add COPYING to clarify license. |
122 |
|
123 |
1.01 Sun Jan 8 05:48:09 CET 2006 |
124 |
- correctly cancel Event timers, avoid memory leaks. |
125 |
|
126 |
1.0 Sun Jan 8 05:40:58 CET 2006 |
127 |
- allow third-party interfaces to be added at runtime. |
128 |
- fix version number. |
129 |
|
130 |
0.9 Fri Dec 30 02:25:41 CET 2005 |
131 |
- fixed errors in the documentation. |
132 |
- going back to using $VERSION as "load check", |
133 |
as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using |
134 |
this method. |
135 |
- add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib |
136 |
and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of |
137 |
glib seem to require this, while this breaks other |
138 |
(older) versions of glib. |
139 |
- implemented PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE env variable. |
140 |
|
141 |
0.3 Sun Dec 4 10:43:33 CET 2005 |
142 |
- no changes to the code. |
143 |
- fixed documentation. |
144 |
- clarified some corner cases. |
145 |
- vastly improved documentation with a long example. |
146 |
|
147 |
0.2 Thu Dec 1 22:18:49 CET 2005 |
148 |
- check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops. |
149 |
- move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer). |
150 |
- don't die when some modules are not available. |
151 |
- Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works. |
152 |
|
153 |
0.1 Thu Dec 1 19:44:57 CET 2005 |
154 |
- spiced up and cleaned up for release. |
155 |
|
156 |
0.01 Tue Sep 21 18:12:09 CEST 2004 |
157 |
- original version; copied from Convert::Scalar. |
