9    
10 root 1.255 4.35 Fri 19 Sep 2025 18:44:27 CEST
11     - work around yet another undocumented newly introduced breakage
12     in xsubpp, apparently introduced in perl 5.42. killing off Perl
13     one change at a time...
14    
15 root 1.253 4.34 Sun 08 Oct 2023 23:45:11 CEST
16 root 1.252 - the EV::stat->path method errornously freed the result, causing
17     corruption (testcase by Carsten Witt).
18 root 1.254 - new function EV::Child::reinit.
19 root 1.252
20 root 1.251 4.33 Wed Mar 18 13:31:12 CET 2020
21 root 1.250 - the enable assertion makefile question failed to enable
22     assertions due to a typo.
23 root 1.249 - try harder to avoid perl's assert () which does not actually
24     behave correctly.
25 root 1.251 - updated libecb to make it compile under more windows environments.
26 root 1.249
27 root 1.248 4.32 Fri Jan 24 14:21:35 CET 2020
28 root 1.246 - (libev) fixed a bug introduced in 4.31 when timerfds and signalfds were
29     used at the same time.
30     - (libev) 0 is now allowed as requested event mask in io watchers.
31     - (libev) once-per-minute wakeups will now be optimized away when
32     timerfds are available
33 root 1.247 - use the new ev_io_modify in EV::IO->events, instead of the potentially
34 root 1.245 slower ev_io_set.
35 root 1.247 - add a bunch of mutator methods, mostly untested(!): EV::Timer->repeat,
36     EV::Periodic->offset, EV::Periodic->interval,
37     EV::Periodic->reschedule_cb.
38     - minor optimisations and bugfixes.
39 root 1.245
40 root 1.244 4.31 Fri Dec 20 21:57:00 CET 2019
41     - (libev) handle backends with minimum wait time a bit better by
42     not waiting in the presence of already-expired timers
43     (behaviour reported by Felipe Gasper).
44     - (libev) use timerfd to detect timejumps.
45     - (libev) new loop flag: EVFLAG_NOTIMERFD.
46    
47     4.30 Fri Nov 22 21:00:00 CET 2019
48     - (libev) use a different and hopefully even more portable
49     test to disable io_uring when header files are too old,
50     by directly testing LINUX_VERSION_CODE.
51     - (libev) fix a bug in the io_uring backend that polled the wrong
52     backend fd, causing it to not work in many cases.
53    
54 root 1.243 4.29 Fri Nov 22 15:34:29 CET 2019
55     - (libev) add io uring autoconf and non-autoconf detection,
56     the latter of which should disable io_uring compilation
57     on old systems.
58    
59 root 1.241 4.28 Tue Nov 19 13:55:39 CET 2019
60     - (libev) fix ev_port backend, thanks to David H. Gutteridge for
61 root 1.242 - (libev) many bugfixes in linuxaio backend.
62     - (libev) experimental io uring interface.
63 root 1.241 reminding me to actually release the fix.
64 root 1.238 - try to name ev.h more explicitly, to hopefully improve portability.
65 root 1.239 - opportunistically round up wait times for poll and epoll backend,
66     to avoid unnecessary loop iterations.
67     - add build dependency on ev_linuxaio.c.
68 root 1.240 - quickly (re)-ported to minix 3.3 before minix crashed again.
69 root 1.238
70 root 1.237 4.27 Thu Jun 27 09:39:58 CEST 2019
71 root 1.236 - (libev) completely rewritten linuxaio backend, maybe
72     usable as a general-use backend.
73     - (libev) use more aggressive assertions to catch
74     more usage errors.
75 root 1.237 - allow users to re-enable assert() in case it is disabled
76     by perl (which is typically the case).
77 root 1.236
78 root 1.235 4.26 Mon Jun 24 23:39:40 CEST 2019
79     - (libev) included experimental linux aio backend.
80 root 1.234 - allow the linux aio backend to be used by default
81     only when explicitly configured during Makefile.PL time.
82 root 1.233
83 root 1.231 4.25 Fri Dec 21 08:04:26 CET 2018
84     - (libev) updated to libev 4.25, minor fixes and enhancements.
85 root 1.229 - document the requirement to "use EV" when using EV::MakeMaker.
86 root 1.228 - only use __register_atfork with glibc and uclibc, as musl
87     defines __linux__, but doesn't implement the linux standard
88     base ABI, nor makes itself detectable via a macro, both apparently
89     by design, winning the "broken by design 2016 award" - well done.
90 root 1.230 - correct EV::periodic example 24h after midnight -> one day after
91     midnight (reported by Felix Ostmann).
92 root 1.228
93 root 1.227 4.22 Sun Dec 20 02:34:39 CET 2015
94     - (libev) when epoll detects unremovable fds in the fd set, rebuild
95     only the epoll descriptor, not the signal pipe, to avoid
96     SIGPIPE in ev_async_send. This doesn't solve it on fork,
97     so document what needs to be done in ev_loop_fork
98     (analyzed by Benjamin Mahler).
99     - (libev) remove superfluous sys/timeb.h include on win32
100     (analyzed by Jason Madden).
101     - updated libecb.
102    
103 root 1.226 4.21 Mon Jul 13 21:47:33 CEST 2015
104     - allow argument in timer->again.
105     - document timer->remaining.
106     - document default repeat value for timer->set.
107    
108 root 1.225 4.20 Sat Jun 20 13:07:34 CEST 2015
109     - added stability canary support.
110 root 1.224 - truly rely on automatic configuration for clock_gettime and others.
111 root 1.225 unfortunately, this doesn't help with activeperl and similar perls,
112 root 1.224 which define _POSIX_TIMERS without actually implementing any of it.
113 root 1.225 - (libev, ecb) make it compile as C++ again.
114     - (libev) fix a potential aliasing issue when accessing watcher cbs.
115 root 1.224
116 root 1.223 4.18 Sat Sep 6 20:37:23 CEST 2014
117     - use slightly better weay to find includes, to support multiarch
118     on newer perls.
119 root 1.185
120 root 1.222 4.17 Fri Apr 11 06:22:38 CEST 2014
121     - perl5porters broke Async::Interrupt, BDB, EV, IO::AIO, OpenCL
122     without warning by switching the meaning of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
123     in 5.18. What's so attractive about giving a shit about backwards
124     compatibility - I will never understand.
125 root 1.219
126 root 1.221 4.16 Sat Mar 8 16:49:05 CET 2014
127 root 1.216 - make sure EV::CHECK is available at all times.
128     - avoid a spurious warning when perl -w overrides "no warnings".
129 root 1.219 - use perl's signal implementation on WIN32.
130 root 1.220 - ensure extern "C" function pointers are used for externally-visible
131 root 1.221 pointers.
132     - (libev) mark event pipe fd as cloexec after a fork (analyzed by Sami Farin).
133     - (ecb) support m68k, m88k and sh (patch by Miod Vallat).
134     - (libev) in the absence of autoconf, do not use the clock syscall
135     on glibc >= 2.17 (avoids the syscall AND -lrt on systems
136     doing clock_gettime in userspace).
137     - (ecb) work around memory barriers and volatile apparently both being
138     broken in visual studio 2008 and later (analysed and patch by Nicolas Noble).
139 root 1.216
140 root 1.215 4.15 Fri Mar 1 12:15:53 CET 2013
141     - (libev) upgrade to 4.15 - too many changes to list.
142 root 1.214 - EV::run now returns a boolean.

144 root 1.214 - document that cleanup watchers are not available via perl.
145 root 1.212 - cast I32 to int in error message printf.
146 root 1.214 - remove dependencies on librt and libpthreads on GNU/Linux.
147 root 1.211
148 root 1.210 4.11 Sat Feb 4 19:56:26 CET 2012
149     - (libev) implement memory fences for (obsolete) llvm-gcc.
150    
151 root 1.209 4.10 Thu Jan 19 18:54:23 CET 2012
152     - (libev) fix a race where the workaround against the epoll fork
153     bugs caused signals to not be handled anymore.
154     - (libev) correct backend_fudge for most backends, and implement
155     a windows specific workaround to avoid looping because we call
156     both select and Sleep, both with different time resolutions.
157 root 1.207 - e_new wasn't declared static (causing very minor .so bloat).
158 root 1.208 - replace more old api names by new ones.
159 root 1.206
160 root 1.205 4.03 Tue Jan 11 14:51:05 CET 2011
161 root 1.203 - do not avoid the clock_gettime call on GNU/Linux anymore, as EV
162     links against -lpthread anyways - as a result, EV might now take
163     advantage of fast userspace clock_gettime implementations,
164     but also links against -lrt.
165 root 1.204 - (libev) lots of event port bug workarounds.
166     - (libev) officially support files in I/O watchers.
167     - (libev) new function ev_feed_signal.

169 root 1.203
170 root 1.202 4.02 Thu Dec 30 08:27:41 CET 2010
171     - the revents argument did not stringify correctly, as only the
172     numeric value was updated, while the string value was kept from
173     previous invocations.
174    
175 root 1.201 4.01 Sun Dec 5 12:42:13 CET 2010
176 root 1.197 - fully support EV_COMPAT3=0.
177 root 1.198 - default_fork was stupidly defined as inline.
178 root 1.199 - ask cpan to upgrade AnyEvent if < 5.29.
179 root 1.200 - support EV_EXTRA_DEFS during configuration.
180 root 1.201 - support -DEV_NO_LOOPS for snakker build.
181 root 1.197
182 root 1.196 4.00 Mon Oct 25 13:30:09 CEST 2010

184 root 1.196 - (libev) lots and lots of bugfixes, see the ev documentation.
185 root 1.187 - fix a bug where inotify usage would parse the same event
186     multiple times, causing various forms of breakage.

194 root 1.191 - (libev) no child watchers on win32.
195 root 1.190 - make code more aliasing compliant, in case perl is ever
196     translated to C.
197 root 1.193 - document the EV::CHECK runtime unavailability.
198 root 1.192 - ported to minix 3.1.7.
199 root 1.187
200 root 1.186 3.9 Thu Dec 31 07:59:59 CET 2009
201 root 1.182 - disable t/07* under automatic testing.
202 root 1.183 - increase t/09* timeouts as netbsd has *horribly* broken
203     select/kevent that *usually* sleep >>0.6s instead of 0.3.
204 root 1.184 - add constants EV::FLAG_NOSIGFD, EV::FLAG_NOINOTIFY and
205     EV::BACKEND_ALL.
206 root 1.185 - (libev) signalfd is no longer used by default.
207     - (libev) backport inotify code to C89.
208     - (libev) inotify file descriptors could leak into child processes.

215 root 1.181 3.8 Sun Aug 9 15:30:10 CEST 2009
216 root 1.180 - implement $loop->signal/signal_ns.
217 root 1.181 - (libev) incompatible change: do not necessarily reset signal
218     handler to SIG_DFL when a sighandler is stopped.
219     - (libev) ev_default_destroy did not properly free or zero some
220     members, potentially causing crashes and memory corruption on
221     repated ev_default_destroy/ev_default_loop calls.
222     - (libev) take advantage of signalfd on GNU/Linux systems.
223     - (libev) document that the signal mask might be in an unspecified
224     state when using libev's signal handling.
225     - (libev) take advantage of some GNU/Linux calls to set
226     cloexec/nonblock on fd creation, to avoid race conditions.
227     - implement internal glue code to interface more efficiently
228     with AnyEvent.
229 root 1.180
230 root 1.177 3.7 Fri Jul 17 16:49:16 CEST 2009
231 root 1.171 - add EV::loop_verify and EV::loop_depth.

235 root 1.176 - add EV::Timer->remaining.
236 root 1.175 - allow for subclassing of EV::Loop (see the exciting

238     - added EV::invoke_pending and EV::pending_count.
239 root 1.171
240 root 1.177 - (libev) ev_unloop and ev_loop wrongly used a global variable to
241     exit loops, instead of using a per-loop variable.
242     - (libev) the ev_set_io_collect_interval interpretation has changed.
243     - add new functionality: EV::invoke_pending, EV::pending_count.
244     - add $timer->remaining.
245     - add EV::loop_depth.
246     - (libev) calling unloop in fork/prepare watchers will no longer poll
247     for new events.
248     - (libev) use GetSystemTimeAsFileTime instead of _timeb on windows,
249     for slightly higher accuracy.
250     - (libev) actually 0-initialise struct sigaction when installing
251     signals.
252    
253 root 1.170 3.6 Tue Apr 28 02:50:37 CEST 2009
254 root 1.167 - keepalive(0) could decrease the refcount of the loop

257     accessible via the XS API.
258 root 1.169 - most EV::<eventtype> constants were missing and have been
259     added :/.
260     - add EV::VERSION_MAJOR/VERSION_MINOR constants.
261     - (libev) multiple timers becoming ready within an event loop
262     iteration will be invoked in the "correct" order now.
263     - (libev) do not leave the event loop early just because we have
264     no active watchers, fixing a problem when embedding a kqueue
265     loop that has active kernel events but no registered watchers
266     (reported by blacksand blacksand).
267     - (libev) correctly zero the idx values for arrays, so destroying
268     and reinitialising the default loop actually works (patch by
269     Malek Hadj-Ali).
270     - (libev) new EV::CUSTOM revents flag for use by applications.
271     - (libev) add documentation section about priorites.
272     - (libev) add a glossary to the dcoumentation.

275     - t/03_keepalive could fail when there was no actual error.
276 root 1.167
277 root 1.166 3.53 Sun Feb 15 02:38:20 CET 2009
278     - (libev) on win32, the event loop creation could randomly fail
279     due to an initialised variable having the wrong value.
280 root 1.165 - (libev) probe for CLOCK_REALTIME support at runtime as well and
281     fall back to gettimeofday if there is an error, to support older
282     operating systems with newer header files/libraries.
283     - prefer gettimeofday over clock_gettime by default.
284    
285 root 1.164 3.52 Wed Jan 7 21:46:14 CET 2009
286 root 1.163 - (libev) fix some issues in the select backend when in fd_set mode.
287     - (libev) due to a thinko, instead of disabling everything but
288     select on the borked OS X platform, everything but select was
289     allowed (reported by Emanuele Giaquinta).
290     - (libev) actually verify that local and remote port are matching in
291     libev's socketpair emulation, which makes denial-of-service
292     attacks harder (but not impossible - it's windows). Make sure
293     it even works under vista, which thinks that getpeer/sockname
294     should return fantasy port numbers.
295    
296 root 1.162 3.51 Wed Dec 24 23:01:59 CET 2008
297 root 1.161 - do not cache the arguments passed to callbacks if the refcount
298     indicates that the callback has stolen them.
299 root 1.159 - (libev) try to avoid librt on GNU/Linux.
300 root 1.160 - (libev) check port_getn return value dfferently, might potentially
301     avoid problems.
302 root 1.162 - (libev) fix a bug with stat watchers possibly causing freezes.
303     - (libev) work around OS X 10.5 breaking poll, now select is the
304     only viable choice left on that pile of garbage.
305 root 1.161 - play tester whore: disable some tests that typically fail only
306     on cpan tester machines.
307 root 1.159
308 root 1.158 3.49 Wed Nov 19 11:26:53 CET 2008
309 root 1.155 - fix typos in manpage (Alex Efros).
310 root 1.156 - increase timing even further, for the ever-overloaded cpan-tester
311     machines, and to the detriment of everybody else who wants a fast
312     make test.
313 root 1.157 - possible 5.6 compatibility.
314 root 1.158 - (libev) use inotify even on buggy kernels, but don't rely on it.

316 root 1.155
317 root 1.154 3.48 Thu Oct 30 09:09:48 CET 2008
318 root 1.152 - (libev) use a generation counter to detect spurious epoll events
319 root 1.151 and recreate the kernel in such a case (sorry, it's slow, but
320     I didn't design epoll...).
321 root 1.150 - (libev) optimise away an EPOLL_CTL_ADD/MOD combo in the epoll
322     backend in some cases.
323     - (libev) use memset to initialise most arrays now and do away
324     with the init functions.
325 root 1.152 - speed up event callback invocation further (~15%), by
326 root 1.151 not creating the object reference each time.
327 root 1.153 - EV::sleep was documented, but not implemented. fun.
328 root 1.150
329     3.45 Tue Oct 21 22:20:39 CEST 2008
330     - (libev) disable inotify usage on linux <2.6.25 (kernel bug).
331 root 1.146 - (libev) ev_embed will now automatically follow fork.
332     - (libev) ev_once will now pass both io and timeout events to
333     the callback when both happen concurrently, instead of giving
334     one precedence.
335 root 1.149 - install C library documentation as EV::libev manpage (sorry, oesi).
336 root 1.150 - (libev) fix a minor performance bug in ev_stat handling.

347     and harmless.
348    
349 root 1.139 3.42 Mon May 26 07:36:46 CEST 2008
350 root 1.138 - (libev) work around another bug in windows perls and
351     windows itself: failed connects do NOT set read or write
352     flags in select, but this version of libev will.
353    
354 root 1.136 3.41 Thu May 22 01:39:40 CEST 2008
355 root 1.135 - (libev) fix many heap-related bugs (timers, periodics).
356 root 1.134 - (libev) improve timing stability of timers and periodics.
