* Relax io watchers more. Now they can be started with either
e_fd or e_timeout or both or neither.
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>

can't construct a short test case...
1999-01-19 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>
* Arrange for events to have the same careful typemap treatment as
do watchers. Added test.
1999-01-12 Joshua Pritikin <joshua.pritikin@db.com>
* Release 0.29.

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.

* 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>

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

* 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::_timeout_too_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.

* 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>
* Completed re-write of almost everything in C.
