• The repository has moved to a (hopefully) more permanent location. See http://gitorious.org/perl-event/mainline

2007-05-21 <joshua@always.joy.eth.net>

• Event is now stored in GIT. You can grab a copy with "git clone git://nirmalvihar.info/home/joshua/event.git". I will not be updating this ChangeLog anymore because the full history plus changelog will be stored in GIT.

• Generic watchers: implementation, documentation, and tests.
• Documentation refinements.

2004-11-29 <joshua@always.joy.eth.net>

• Release 1.01.
• Event.xs: Due to popular demand, queue_pending() is now a public API, for better or worse. Beware of race conditions.

2004-11-29 Zefram <zefram@fysh.org>

• A var watcher can currently be created with no variable to watch, provided of course that it is parked. However, once a variable has been set, the watcher cannot be returned to the no-variable state. The variable to watch can be changed, but the watcher rejects any attempt to set the reference to undef.

        Applied a patch to allow the variable reference of a var watcher
        to be set to undef.

        * Applied patch to clarify the documentation (with tweaks from
        Joshua).

2004-05-14 <joshua@always.joy.eth.net>

2004-04-21 <joshua@always.joy.eth.net>

• Release 0.88.

• timeout_cb for io watchers. Added test. (suggested by Uri Guttman <uri@sysarch.com>)
• Copy the callback specification from watcher to event for flexibility.

1999-09-13 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>

• Release 0.55.
• Changes for clean threaded build against 5.5.61. Unfortunately, this breaks threaded 5.5.3. If this is a problem for you then send patches. The threading variations in the devel track are driving me crazy. (dfavor@austin.ibm.com)

1999-09-10 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>

1999-09-09 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>

• If a file is unexpectedly closed, the io watcher is no longer stopped. Instead the file handle is reset. This symantic allows io timeouts to continue to trigger and should make recovery simpler. Added tests.

• Release 0.53.
• Fix Event::MakeMaker to pick the correct install directory.

1999-09-08 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>

• This release is NOT binary compatible with 0.52!
• Obscure potential typemap bugs fixed.
• Reworked the typemap to avoid the exotic 5.6 self-tied hash mechanism. It should now be fairly easy to backport Event to older versions of perl.
• In the tradition of adding innovative (or at least strange) features to Event, constructors now accept (attach_to=>$ref). This will cause the watcher to attach its information to the given $ref instead of to a fresh anonymous hash ref. For backwards compatibility the default is still an anonymous hash.
• Removed a bunch of deprecated features.
• Reformatted the source to be more consistent (if not beautiful).

1999-08-18 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>

• Release 0.52.
• Moved t/inactivity.t to demo/ because it fails occationally and I don't have time to figure it out. You might say that it takes too much time to write a good test of inactivity.

• Make mention of Time::Warp.

1999-07-29 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>

• Moved attributes from hash entries to methods.

1999-05-07 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>

1999-03-02 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>

• Allow creation of io watchers without a valid e_fd. Should probably do the same with the rest of the watcher types.
• Added e_suspend. Do we keep the 'suspend' and 'resume' methods?

1999-02-26 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>

• Fixed refcnt problem triggered by deleting hash entries. Added test.

1999-02-25 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>

1999-01-12 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>

• Release 0.29.
• Unplugged Time::Virtual (suggested mainly by Sarathy, Nick and Graham). See patches/time-hires.

1998-12-30 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>

• Added AllWatchers & typemap functions to the public API.
• Moved Event::Stats to a separate tarball. I wonder if the stats API is too restrictive?

1998-12-28 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>

• Split Event::Watcher code into a separate file for intuitive importing via 'use' (suggested by artur@vogon-solutions.com).
• Fix SEGV in keys %$event (ophir@internap.com & artur@vogon-solutions.com). Added test.
• Tweaks to diagnostics.

1998-12-27 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>

• Release 0.28.
• Event destruction now must be managed explicitly. Use the 'stop' method to disable a watcher and use 'cancel' to destroy a watcher. This change is an unfortunate necessity because of optimizations in perl's reference counting.
• Suspend & cancel now abort any pending events. In previous releases, the callback could be called after cancel in some cases.

1998-12-25 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>

• Release 0.27.
• Replaced newHVhv. Some versions of perl have a buggy implementation.
• Fixed a few minor problems detected by Insure++.

1998-12-24 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>

• Fixed typos in croak messages.
• Generous updates to Event.pod.
• Bumped version to 0.26. Merry Christmas!!
• Renamed (lots of) keys.
• Added 'use_keys' method. Comments?
• (Try to) remove support for leading dashes (any left?).
• Factor out code to Time::Virtual (& Time::HiRes).

1998-12-19 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>

• Moved process.pm to demo directory.

1998-12-08 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>

• Added discussion of event loops vs. threads (kudos to Mark.Mielke.markm@nt.com & fellow loop'ers).

1998-11-20 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>

• Release 0.25.

1998-11-19 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>

• Move SAVETMPS/FREETMPS up to Event::_loop.

1998-11-13 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>

• Split ACTIVE flag into two separate flags, ACTIVE & POLLING, to more accurately track watcher state.

1998-11-09 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>

• Tweaks to io 'events' mask handling.
• Move @EXPORT_OK list for qw(R W E T) to Event::Watcher.

1998-11-06 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>

• Fix SEGV in all_watchers/all_idle if zero watchers present.

1998-11-04 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>

• Nuke obsolete backward support code in io.c. (Poll constants to set event mask.)
• Rename event_vtbl->watcher.

1998-11-01 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>

• Release 0.24. [Massive code changes -- caution advised!]
• Reengineered hash-object implementation to use HVs.

1998-10-31 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>

• Removed tailpoll support from io watchers. File::Tail can just hook up with timers & a generic "block on read" API can be built on top of that if need arises. Nick, this okay?
• Split watchers & events into separate C structures.

1998-10-24 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>

• Fixed misbehaving autoload code.
• END hook to cancel all events before global destruction. Still needs more work to be sure the memory is freed.
• Fixed bad arithmetic in io timeout code. Renamed interval epsilon and added better diagnostics (see Event::timeouttoo_early).

1998-10-20 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>

• Timers cancelled within their callback weren't! Fixed.

1998-10-19 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>

• Fix typo in c/queue.c (thanks again Jan!).

1998-10-18 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>

• Release 0.23.
• Unified Perl & C API for hooks.
• Niggles for Win32 (thanks Jan!).

• Documentation for Event::MakeMaker.
• tailpoll revamped.
• MIN_PERL_DEFINE clean.

1998-10-15 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>

• Improve sv_2interval typemap.

1998-10-08 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>

• Release 0.21.
• Try to normalize benchmark.
• 'now' was broken for inactive events. Fixed & added test.
• Fixed infinite loop triggered by botched exception recovery.

1998-10-06 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>

• Release 0.20.
• Rename inactive to inactivity.
• Use new self-tie to wrap watcher objects. Leak test now passes for almost all watcher types.

1998-10-04 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>

• Slight improvements to gettimeofday.c.
• Merged c_callback & perl_callback into one pointer slot.

1998-10-03 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>

• Added timeable methods to the public API.
• Var watchers weren't working very well. Set up events/got mask stuff mirroring io watchers. Added tests. Does anyone really want timeouts?
• Release 0.19.
• Put in code for tailpoll, but I can't tell if it works because the tail-f behavior seems to already happen automatically. Comments? See demo/tail.t.
• Added inactive watchers (& tests).
• timeable API changes to allow multiple timers per watcher.
• Fixed non-ANSI function declaration in c/signal.c
• Reduced C API.
• Renamed queueEvent to queue.
• Fixed refcnt problem in DELETE.
• Dashes depreciated.
• Added -timeout to process watchers. Might be useful.
• Fixed typo induced polling in one_event.
• Moved R/W/E/T flags to Event from Event::io.
• Changed the arguments to $Event::DIED in order to cope with $Event::DIED dieing. Fixed sweep exception handling. Added test.

1998-10-02 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>

• Watchers created with the C API now should require their perl support code automatically. Moved idle support to an autoloaded pm.
• Added sweep & loop($timeout). Fixed sleep.
• Release 0.18.
• Added non-working export_fail prototype. Suggestions welcome.
• Re-factored start & stop better (the preCB method is gone).
• Finished up sleep(). Added tests.
• Tied watchers are now based on pe_tmevent.

1998-10-01 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>

• Applied patch from Gisle for pe_sys_sleep/select.
• Renamed 'watchvar' to 'var'.
• Added tests for 'now' (it was completely broken!).
• Tweaked debug levels. Someone needs to inventory debug warnings are decide what is reasonable.
• Release 0.17
• Added tests.

1998-09-30 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>

• Added sleep(). Truly a tortuous experience.
• Added min/max interval to idle watchers.
• c_callback no longer prevents watcher destruction. Use refcnt!
• Renamed various C APIs for accuracy (unix_io.c).
• Reentrant flag added.

1998-09-29 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>

• Release 0.16 (only as a patch)
• loop() now terminates when there are no active watchers left.
• Depreciated async. Moved -priority to -nice & added warning.
• Fixed minor stuff.
• Make io timeouts work for real. (Thanks Gisle :-)
• Release 0.15.
• Improved the EventAPI.h version check.
• Added -timeout for io watchers. Untested.
• Fix io watcher bugs (unix_io.c) pointed out by Gisle Aas.

1998-09-28 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>

• Release 0.14.
• Gutted the internals to make events reentrant.
• The $Now cache was not being refreshed and that was causing timers to be queued, well, never.
• Fixed whitespace in Event.pod. (Gisle Aas again.)
• Optimized priority queue (hopefully). I probably should have benchmarked it first. :-P

1998-09-27 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>

• Release 0.13.
• Moved and renamed lots of methods. Yet, added code to ease backward compatibility. (perl-loop suggested)

1998-09-24 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>

• Integrated rewritten documentation contributed by Gisle Aas. Thanks!

1998-09-21 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>

• Release 0.12.
• Event::MakeMaker & event_api.h.

1998-09-14 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>

• Add 'total' stat. Moved stat methods to Event::Loop package.

1998-09-11 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>

• Release 0.11.

1998-09-10 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>

• Regularized exception handling. $Event::DIED is now called if an event dies.
• Allow timer interval to be a scalar ref.

1998-09-09 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>

• Tweaked queue scheduling. Events with priorities <= 5 now starve if higher priority events are available.
• Changing the event priority of a queued event will now reque the event into the appropriate queue.
• Split NetServer::ProcessTop into it's own tarball.

1998-09-04 Joshua Pritikin <joshua@eq1062.wks.na.deuba.com>

• Release 0.10.
• NetServer::ProcessTop implements a top-style control panel available via telnet ($$ % 7000). See util/top.pl.
• Proxy "tied" event type that allows completely perl-side implementation of new event handlers.
• Event::process is working again (implementation is entirely in perl).
• Eliminated race conditions in signal handling.
• Zombie events are still not being collected due to mysterious refcnt problems. It is possible that this cannot be resolved until perl implements tied hashes properly (through a VTBL!).
• Removed $Event::*::Count since it is superceded by NetServer::ProcessTop.

1998-08-28 Joshua Pritikin <joshua@eq1062.wks.na.deuba.com>

• Fixed serious bug in the event destructor.

1998-08-22 Joshua Pritikin <joshua@eq1062.wks.na.deuba.com>

• Accept file descriptor numbers in addition to filehandles, etc. Maybe non-portable, but nice for unixen.

1998-08-19 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>

• Fixed repeating timer logic. Tweaks for idle events.

1998-08-14 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>
