File libev.changes of Package libev
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Apr 11 04:29:08 UTC 2013 - sweet_f_a@gmx.de
- update to version 4,15
- destroying a non-default loop would stop the global waitpid
watcher (Denis Bilenko).
- queueing pending watchers of higher priority from a watcher now invokes
them in a timely fashion (reported by Denis Bilenko).
- add throw() to all libev functions that cannot throw exceptions, for
further code size decrease when compiling for C++.
- add throw () to callbacks that must not throw exceptions (allocator,
syserr, loop acquire/release, periodic reschedule cbs).
- fix event_base_loop return code, add event_get_callback, event_base_new,
event_base_get_method calls to improve libevent 1.x emulation and add
some libevent 2.x functionality (based on a patch by Jeff Davey).
- add more memory fences to fix a bug reported by Jeff Davey. Better
be overfenced than underprotected.
- ev_run now returns a boolean status (true meaning watchers are
still active).
- ev_once: undef EV_ERROR in ev_kqueue.c, to avoid clashing with
libev's EV_ERROR (reported by 191919).
- (ecb) add memory fence support for xlC (Darin McBride).
- (ecb) add memory fence support for gcc-mips (Anton Kirilov).
- (ecb) add memory fence support for gcc-alpha (Christian Weisgerber).
- work around some kernels losing file descriptors by leaking
the kqueue descriptor in the child.
- work around linux inotify not reporting IN_ATTRIB changes for directories
in many cases.
- include sys/syscall.h instead of plain syscall.h.
- check for io watcher loops in ev_verify, check for the most
common reported usage bug in ev_io_start.
- choose socket vs. WSASocket at compiletime using EV_USE_WSASOCKET.
- always use WSASend/WSARecv directly on windows, hoping that this
works in all cases (unlike read/write/send/recv...).
- try to detect signals around a fork faster (test program by
Denis Bilenko).
- work around recent glibc versions that leak memory in realloc.
- rename ev::embed::set to ev::embed::set_embed to avoid clashing
the watcher base set (loop) method.
- rewrite the async/signal pipe logic to always keep a valid fd, which
simplifies (and hopefully correctifies :) the race checking
on fork, at the cost of one extra fd.
- add fat, msdos, jffs2, ramfs, ntfs and btrfs to the list of
inotify-supporting filesystems.
- move orig_CFLAGS assignment to after AC_INIT, as newer autoconf
versions ignore it before
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=908096).
- add some untested android support.
- enum expressions must be of type int (reported by Juan Pablo L).
- rebase libev-4.15_compiler_warnings.patch
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Dec 20 11:39:16 UTC 2012 - sweet_f_a@gmx.de
- fix mandriva build
- don't use obsolete makeinstall macro
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sat Jul 7 14:38:42 UTC 2012 - reddwarf@opensuse.org
- update to version 4,11
- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: ev_timer_again now clears the pending
status, as was documented already, but not implemented in the
repeating case.
- new compiletime symbols: EV_NO_SMP and EV_NO_THREADS.
- fix a race where the workaround against the epoll fork bugs
caused signals to not be handled anymore.
- correct backend_fudge for most backends, and implement a
windows specific workaround to avoid looping because we call
both select and Sleep, both with different time resolutions.
- document range and guarantees of ev_sleep.
- document reasonable ranges for periodics interval and offset.
- rename backend_fudge to backend_mintime to avoid future
confusion :)
- change the default periodic reschedule function to hopefully
be more exact and correct even in corner cases or in the far
future.
- do not rely on -lm anymore: use it when available but use our
own floor () if it is missing. This should make it easier to
embed, as no external libraries are required.
- strategically import macros from libecb and mark rarely-used
functions as cache-cold (saving almost 2k code size on typical
amd64 setups).
- add Symbols.ev and Symbols.event files, that were missing.
- fix backend_mintime value for epoll (was 1/1024, is 1/1000 now).
- fix #3 "be smart about timeouts" to not "deadlock" when
timeout == now, also improve the section overall.
- avoid "AVOIDING FINISHING BEFORE RETURNING" idiom.
- support new EV_API_STATIC mode to make all libev symbols
static.
- supply default CFLAGS of -g -O3 with gcc when original CFLAGS
were empty.
- generate .pc manually to avoid having to regenerate the patch
(that is not accepted upstream) and autoreconf call
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Dec 16 12:01:39 UTC 2011 - stbuehler@web.de
- update to version 4.04
- fix two problems in the native win32 backend, where reuse of fd's
with different underlying handles caused handles not to be removed
or added to the select set (analyzed and tested by Bert Belder).
- do no rely on ceil() in ev_e?poll.c.
- backport libev to HP-UX versions before 11 v3.
- configure did not detect nanosleep and clock_gettime properly when
they are available in the libc (as opposed to -lrt).
- update to version 4.03
- officially support polling files with all backends.
- support files, /dev/zero etc. the same way as select in the epoll
backend, by generating events on our own.
- ports backend: work around solaris bug 6874410 and many related ones
(EINTR, maybe more), with no performance loss (note that the solaris
bug report is actually wrong, reality is far more bizarre and broken
than that).
- define EV_READ/EV_WRITE as macros in event.h, as some programs use
#ifdef to test for them.
- new (experimental) function: ev_feed_signal.
- new (to become default) EVFLAG_NOSIGMASK flag.
- new EVBACKEND_MASK symbol.
- updated COMMON IDIOMS SECTION.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Dec 16 10:13:55 UTC 2011 - sweet_f_a@gmx.de
- explicit specify package group for subpackages to fix SLE build
"error: Group field must be present in package: libev4"
- BuildRequire pkgconfig instead of pkg-config to be more compatible
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Dec 8 13:59:12 UTC 2011 - coolo@suse.com
- license seems to be BSD-2-Clause
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Nov 13 09:16:12 UTC 2011 - coolo@suse.com
- add libtool as explicit buildrequire to avoid implicit dependency from prjconf
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sat Nov 6 09:21:44 UTC 2010 - stbuehler@web.de
- build-require pkg-config to provide pkgconfig(libev)
- update to version 4.01
- automake fucked it up, apparently, --add-missing -f is not quite enough
to make it update its files, so 4.00 didn't install ev++.h and
event.h on make install. grrr.
- ev_loop(count|depth) didn't return anything (Robin Haberkorn).
- change EV_UNDEF to 0xffffffff to silence some overzealous compilers.
- use "(libev) " prefix for all libev error messages now.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Oct 25 12:57:26 UTC 2010 - mrueckert@suse.de
- update to version 4.00
- "PORTING FROM LIBEV 3.X TO 4.X" (in ev.pod) is recommended
reading.
- ev_embed_stop did not correctly stop the watcher (very good
testcase by Vladimir Timofeev).
- ev_run will now always update the current loop time - it
erroneously didn't when idle watchers were active, causing
timers not to fire.
- fix a bug where a timeout of zero caused the timer not to fire
in the libevent emulation (testcase by Péter Szabó).
- applied win32 fixes by Michael Lenaghan (also James Mansion).
- replace EV_MINIMAL by EV_FEATURES.
- prefer EPOLL_CTL_ADD over EPOLL_CTL_MOD in some more cases, as
it seems the former is *much* faster than the latter.
- linux kernel version detection (for inotify bug workarounds)
did not work properly.
- reduce the number of spurious wake-ups with the ports backend.
- remove dependency on sys/queue.h on freebsd (patch by Vanilla
Hsu).
- do async init within ev_async_start, not ev_async_set, which
avoids an API quirk where the set function must be called in
the C++ API even when there is nothing to set.
- add (undocumented) EV_ENABLE when adding events with kqueue,
this might help with OS X, which seems to need it despite
documenting not to need it (helpfully pointed out by Tilghman
Lesher).
- do not use poll by default on freebsd, it's broken (what isn't
on freebsd...).
- allow to embed epoll on kernels >= 2.6.32.
- configure now prepends -O3, not appends it, so one can still
override it.
- ev.pod: greatly expanded the portability section, added a
porting section, a description of watcher states and made lots
of minor fixes.
- disable poll backend on AIX, the poll header spams the
namespace and it's not worth working around dead platforms
(reported and analyzed by Aivars Kalvans).
- improve header file compatibility of the standalone eventfd
code in an obscure case.
- implement EV_AVOID_STDIO option.
- do not use sscanf to parse linux version number (smaller,
faster, no sscanf dependency).
- new EV_CHILD_ENABLE and EV_SIGNAL_ENABLE configurable settings.
- update libev.m4 HAVE_CLOCK_SYSCALL test for newer glibcs.
- add section on accept() problems to the manpage.
- rename EV_TIMEOUT to EV_TIMER.
- rename ev_loop_count/depth/verify/loop/unloop.
- remove ev_default_destroy and ev_default_fork.
- switch to two-digit minor version.
- work around an apparent gentoo compiler bug.
- use enum instead of #define for most constants.
- improve compatibility to older C++ compilers.
- (experimental) ev_run/ev_default_loop/ev_break/ev_loop_new have
now default arguments when compiled as C++.
- ev_loop_new no longer leaks memory when loop creation failed.
- new ev_cleanup watcher type.
- move pkgconfig file to devel package
- updated compiler warnings patch:
old name libev-3.9_compiler_warnings.patch
new name libev-4.00_compiler_warnings.patch
