Revision history for Perl extension Event::Lib.
1.03 So Jul 29 07:14:45 EDT 2007
- also look for libevent in /opt/local which is where macports
installs libraries
(spotted by <cripto AT ecn DOT org>)
1.02 Mo Mai 21 06:36:03 EDT 2007
- fixed exception handling such that exception objects will not be
stringified anymore
(patch by Torsten Foertsch <torsten DOT foertsch AT gmx DOT net>)
1.01 Sat Nov 18 09:44:30 EST 2006
- parens are needed for calls to croak to make it work on bleedperl
(spotted by Andreas Koenig <andk AT cpan DOT org>)
1.0 Fri Mar 17 10:20:49 CET 2006
**** THIS RELEASE IS NOT BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE ****
**** TO PREVIOUS VERSIONS SO READ THE PODS ****
- event_dispatch() is gone forever: Its job is now done by three separate
functions event_mainloop, event_one_loop, event_one_nbloop. Chose the one
most appropriate. Those are no longer instance methods either. See the section
"ENTERING THE EVENT-LOOP" in the documentation for details.
- new interface for exception handlers. See the section "EXCEPTION HANDLING"
in the documentation.
- event_free/free are gone and event_del/del have become remove().
See the section "EVENT LIFECYCLE" in the documentation to learn how event-cleanup
is now done.
- it's no longer OK to enter the event loop (previously with
event_dispatch) more than once. A warning will be raised in such a case
and it will be turned into a no-op.
- event_log_level() allows to specify which libevent log-messages to
display
- event_init no longer needs to be called in child processes
- there's an extensive debugging-interface, enabled via
$ perl Makefile.PL DEFINE=-DEVENT_LIB_DEBUG
in case you run into problems with your application.
- access to the additional event arguments via the args() and args_del()
instance-methods. This will allow you to change the arguments on the fly
without having to create a fresh event.
- the documentation is a lot more comprehensive now hopefully less
ambiguous.
- a new and extensive test-suite.
There is probably more which I forgot. All of the above has been done with
the help and imperturbable patience of the hackers at mailchannels.com
(Stas Bekman, Ken Simpson, Mike Smith). Event::Lib 1.0 owes them big time!
0.10 Thu Nov 10 07:49:00 CET 2005
- event_free() was advertised in the docs although
it didn't exist; now it does.
(spotted by Carlos Guzman <cguzman AT andestel DOT com>
- the prototype for event_new() prevented it to take
code-refs stored in a variable; the prototype is now gone
(patch by Stas Bekman <stas AT stason DOT org>
- a misspelling and some bad advice in the PODs of the
module rectified
(again thanks to Stas Bekman)
- only load Carp.pm on demand
0.09 Tue Sep 27 08:01:52 CEST 2005
- fixed another memory leak showing up in the fh() method
(spotted by Thomas Yandell <tom AT vipercode DOT com>)
- make sure that Test::Pod and Test::Pod::Coverage are
installed in the required minimum versions
(thanks to Ricardo Signes <rjbs AT cpan DOT org>)
0.08 Wed Jul 6 10:10:18 CEST 2005
- additional arguments passed to the event-callbacks
weren't freed due to a spurious reference count
incrementation
(spotted by Thomas Yandell <tom AT vipercode DOT com>)
0.07 Sun Jun 5 11:05:57 CEST 2005
- tweaked Makefile.PL so that the capabilities of the installed
libevent are checked first: features that would require
a more recent version can thus be disabled at compile-time
- crudely included a test for priority_init()
0.06 Fri May 27 09:33:22 CEST 2005
- some of the prototypes were apparently wrong:
the code given in the SYNOPSIS of the PODs can now be run again
(spotted by Simon Dassow <janus AT area319 DOT de>)
- the debug noise on stderr introduced with libevent-1.0c
has been quietened. Only messages with EVENTLOG_ERR are
now displayed.
0.05 Mon Apr 4 09:51:42 CEST 2005
- Event::Lib now in par with libevent-1.0c
(might still compile on 1.0, though)
- support for event priorities added
- POD- and POD-coverage-tests
0.04 Tue Aug 31 17:48:55 CEST 2004
- a hairy bug when spawning children:
no events could be scheduled in child processes
when kqueue(2) was used. This is now fixed by providing
the event_init() function to be called in child procs.
- Makefile.PL fixes for Darwin/FreeBSD
(both spotted and patched by Rocco Caputo <rcaputo AT pobox DOT com>)
0.03 Fri Aug 27 16:13:11 CEST 2004
- Makefile.PL should honor @ARGV
- some Win32 fixes for Lib.xs
(both patches via rt.cpan.org; there was no name attached to them)
0.02 Fri Aug 27 08:22:38 CEST 2004
- the event callbacks were called without the event-type
argument. Now they receive this additional arg.
