Change Log

All notable changes to the project are documented in this file.

v1.4.2 - 2016-06-25

Changes

• Add range checks for period and timeout to uev_timer_init() and uev_timer_set(). If either on is < 0 libuEv now return ERANGE.

v1.4.1 - 2016-04-22

Changes

• Add some pkg-config integration tips for developers using libuEv with GNU autotools in their projects.

Fixes

• Add missing SFD_CLOEXEC and TFD_CLOEXEC to signal and timer file descriptors. This prevents these file descriptors from "leaking" into sub-processes of the parent thread. The kernel will atomically close these descriptors for forked-off children calling the exec*() family of syscalls.
• Minor coding style fixes and simplification of build scripts.

v1.4.0 - 2016-03-22

This release changes the header file namespace, which was silently introduced in v1.2.1. Apologies for any problems this may cause!

Changes

• Change namespace for header files: libuev/ to uev/, e.g. using pkg-config your C program must now #include <uev/uev.h>
• Support for EPOLLPRI events for I/O watchers, thanks to Markus Svilans
• Simplified joystick example
• Updated README slightly

v1.3.1 - 2016-02-02

Fixes

• Remove symlinks to Markdown files from GIT
• Distribute and install Markdown files: README.md, etc.

v1.3.0 - 2016-01-22

Changes

• Change to GNU configure and build system
• Default optimization is now -O2, not -Os, which can be a bit unpredictable with some cross compiler toolchains. -O2 is the tried and tested path, and default in autotools
• Added -Wextra to the previous -W -Wall, drop -Werror which is supposed to be used by maintainer(s) only.

[v1.2.4][] - 2015-11-23

Fixes

• Do not allow VERSION to be overloaded by build system.
• Make sure we don't inherit LDFLAGS from environment.

v1.2.3 - 2015-09-17

Very minor release.

Changes

• README.md updates, mostly cleanup and readability improvements
• make test now runs the test case, on behalf of Travis-CI
• Renamed CHANGELOG.md to ChangeLog.md
• Dropped TODO.md from distribution archives, only for devs

Fixes

• Lots of Markdown syntax fixes in both README and ChangeLog
• Silence annoying warning from newer GNU ar in Ubuntu 15.10

v1.2.2 - 2015-08-30

Minor bugfix release.

Changes

• The ifdef STATIC in the Makefile has been removed. Now both the .a and .so libraries are built. The user may then select what to install. This is a change for convenience when using libuEv from a GNU Configure & Build based project.

Fixes

• Fix odd data ordering issue on Debian Jessie in new uev_private_t
• Fix issue #6: Segfault when stopping timer before calling uev_exit()

v1.2.1 - 2015-07-02

Changes

• Private data members in uev.h have now been moved to a new file called private.h. This will hopefully make it easier to understand what a user of libuEv is allowed to play around with. Thanks to @vonj for the discussions around this!
• All builds of libuEv now default to use -fPIC, this bloats the code slightly, but ensures that linking works for all use cases, withouth introducing unnecessary complexity.

Fixes

• Fix install/uninstall Makefile recipes so they work for both static and dynamic builds. Also, make sure to install all required headers.
• Jakob Eriksson noticed that O_CLOEXEC does not exist in the Debian 6 EGLIBC, but EPOLL_CLOEXEC does, and is also what epoll_create1() should use. Thank you @vonj!

v1.2.0 - 2015-06-09

API change in event callbacks and fix timers that never start.

Changes

• Remove first uev_ctx_t * argument in callbacks, incompatible API change! Please update all your callbacks if you upgrade.

Fixes

• Fix timers that accidentally broke in v1.1.0.
• Fixes to bench.c, it now actually listens to the pipe/socket.

v1.1.0 - 2015-03-04

Massively improved error handling.

Changes

• Handle case when user closes a descriptor before stopping a watcher.
• Handle EPOLLHUP and EPOLLERR. Restart epoll(7) descriptor and all watchers when an error count reaches a MAX value -- handles stale descriptors or cases when kernel does not notice updated descriptors.
• Return error when stopping a watcher fails.
• Update README.md with new uev_*_start() functions.
• Bump dev version to 1.1 due to the number of significant changes.

Fixes

• Remove test.c from DISTFILES in Makefile. You need the comeplete sources to build the examples now. Thanks to @karasz for the heads up on this and the musl libc issue with missing queue.h!
• Fix broken link to v1.0.5 in this file.

v1.0.5 - 2015-02-15

Changes

• Add uev_*_start() functions.
• Add slightly odd examples/signal.c example that utilises fork() and causes segfault in child.
• Renamed main.c to uev.c
• Move examples to examples/ subdirectory
• Simplify automatic dependency calculation
• Add TODO.md for wishlist items
• Add CHANGELOG.md, to align with http://keepachangelog.com
• Further updates to README.md

v1.0.4 - 2015-01-24

Release mainly targeted for Finit development.

Changes

• Further updates to README.md
• Minor update to Makefile, change how build progress is echoed
