Revision history for Linux-Event-Fork

0.007  2026-02-19

  [ API ]

  - Removed all backward compatibility paths.
    - Constructor now strictly requires:
        Linux::Event::Fork->new($loop, %args)
      The legacy `loop => $loop` form has been removed.
    - Removed internal `_spawn` alias.

  - spawn() continues to return either:
        Linux::Event::Fork::Child   (started immediately)
        Linux::Event::Fork::Request (queued due to max_children)

  [ New Features ]

  - max_children() is now a runtime getter/setter.
      $fork->max_children($n)
    Increasing the limit may immediately start queued requests.
    Decreasing the limit does not affect running children.

  - Linux::Event::Fork::Child:
      Added:
        - is_running()
        - exit()
    exit() returns a Linux::Event::Fork::Exit object once available.

  - Linux::Event::Fork::Exit:
      Now stores and exposes pid().
      Constructor updated to:
        Exit->new($pid, $status)

  [ Documentation ]

  - Fully rewritten POD for:
        Linux::Event::Fork
        Linux::Event::Fork::Child
        Linux::Event::Fork::Request
        Linux::Event::Fork::Exit
  - Removed all references to old injection-based API.
  - Clarified execution model and capacity/queue semantics.

  [ Tests ]

  - Added t/15-max-children-runtime.t
      Verifies runtime increase of max_children drains queue correctly.
  - Removed reliance on deprecated constructor forms.

  [ Internal ]

  - Removed experimental signature warning (no @_ usage in signatured subs).
  - Cleaned capacity bookkeeping during runtime limit changes.

0.006  2026-02-18

  - Timeout escalation: on timeout, send SIGTERM, then optionally escalate to SIGKILL
    after timeout_kill seconds if the child is still running.
  - Canonicalized timeout options: timeout and timeout_kill are the only supported
    keys (removed internal/accidental *_s variants).
  - Bounded parallelism and queueing: improved runtime configuration via
    $loop->fork_helper(max_children => ...); tests updated accordingly.
  - Public API introspection: standardized on running() / queued() / max_children().
  - Internal cleanup: tightened watcher/timer cancellation to prevent stalls or
    leaked timers when children exit or are detached.
  - Documentation: clarified execution model (callbacks run in parent; child runs
    exec/callback only) and expanded SYNOPSIS/options coverage.
