amp/CHANGELOG.md

HEAD

• Fixed bug preventing correct resolution of any() combinator promise when passed an empty array
• Suggest nearby property name in Struct error messages
• Add offending generator key to error message when resolving coroutines that yield incorrect values to assist in debugging.

v1.0.0-beta

• README updates
• Fix bug sending NativeReactor into infinite loop in some cases with the use of repeat() watcher timestamps.
• Fix incorrect IO read watcher count in NativeReactor::__debugInfo()

v1.0.0-alpha

• All Amp\Reactor watcher methods now accept an options array for future API expansion.
• All Amp\Reactor watchers may now be disabled at creation-time by passing "enable" => false in the options array.
• Reactor::repeat() watchers may specify a custom initial delay separate from the repeat interval in milliseconds using the "msDelay" => 1234 option
• All watcher IDs are now represented as strings
• Added new Amp\resolve() function to resolve co-routines as promises.
• Removed LibeventReactor code until pecl/libevent supports php7
• Removed deprecated Amp\ReactorFactory
• Amp\Struct is now a trait instead of a class
• All magic yield key command resolution is removed
• New built-in Amp\Pause object to replace yield "pause" => $ms
• Amp\PrivateFuture uses new PHP7 Closure::call() to avoid rebinding overhead.
• Anonymous classes now used to store watcher state consistently in all event reactors.
• Generators are no longer resolved when yielded by coroutines. Only Amp\Promise instances and null may be yielded inside coroutines.
• Amp\coroutine() and Amp\resolve() accept an optional $promisifier callable on invocation to allow custom coroutine behavior for yielded values that are not Amp\Promise instances.

v0.17.0

This is the final PHP5 compatible release. Bugfixes only to follow ...

BC BREAKS:

• Dropped \Amp\getReactor param $forceNew as it doesn't has a proper use case.

v0.16.0

• Added Reactor::coroutine() method
• Added Amp\coroutine() function
• YieldCommands "enum" constant class removed -- yield keys now live in the reactor class
• New optional "coroutine" yield key for self-documenting generator yields.
• New optional "async" yield key for self-documenting promise yields.
• New "return" yield key for specifying the return value of a resolved Generator coroutine. If not specified a resolved coroutine result is equal to null.
• The final value yielded by a resolved Generator is no longer used as its "return" value. Instead, generators must manually use the new "return" yield key specifically to designate the value that should be used to resolve the promise associated with generator resolution.
• GeneratorResolver trait renamed to CoroutineResolver and is now an abstract class extended by the various Reactor implementations.
• Implicit "all" array combinator resolution is now removed. Use the explicit form instead:

function() {
    list($a, $b, $c) = (yield 'all' => [$promise1, $promise2, $promise3]);
};

v0.15.3

• Correctly re-enable disabled stream polling watchers in UvReactor

v0.15.2

• Fix immediately watcher starvation in extension reactors (Bob Weinand)

v0.15.1

• Throw exceptions in extension reactor if required extensions not loaded (Douglas Gontijo)
• Fix outdated examples (Douglas Gontijo)
• Fix E_NOTICE errors in UvReactor

v0.15.0

Additions

• Added Reactor::__debugInfo() hook to ease debugging.
• Added Reactor::onError() exception handling hook to handle asynchronous errors without breaking the event loop
• Added optional boolean $noWait parameter to Reactor::tick($noWait)
• Added Amp\getReactor() and Amp\chooseReactor() functions
• Added Amp\wait() to replace deprecated Amp\Promise::wait()
• Added new "bind" yield command

Removals:

• Removed Combinator class in favor of combinator functions
• Removed Resolver class, use GeneratorResolver trait internally
• Promisor implementations no longer have any knowledge of the event reactor.

Deprecations:

• Deprecated Promise::wait(). New code should use Amp\wait() to synchronously wait for promise completion
• Deprecated Amp\reactor() function. New code should use Amp\getReactor() instead
• The ReactorFactory class is deprecated and scheduled for removal. Please use the Amp\getReactor() function instead of ReactorFactory::select()

Bugfixes:

• Correctly break out of the NativeReactor run loop immediately when Reactor::stop() invoked inside immediately watchers
• Correctly exit UvReactor and LibeventReactor run loop when no outstanding watchers remain active
• Other miscellaneous fixes

Other:

• Changed "wait" yield command to "pause"

BC BREAKS:

• None

v0.14.0

• Improve public property struct safety with new Struct class
• Prevent breakage if missing ext/openssl with libuv socket watchers in windows
• Allow multiple IO watchers for streams using the libuv reactor
• Don't hammer the CPU using NOWAIT ticks in the libuv reactor

BC BREAKS:

• none

v0.13.0

• Remove watchStream() alias from all reactor implementations. Aliases only cause confusion.
• Formalize generator resolution YieldCommands, remove watch-stream, add onreadable and onwritable yield commands.
• Add new nowait yield command and the nowait prefix, @ to optionally continue generator processing without waiting for individual asynchronous results.

BC BREAKS:

• All code using watchStream() must update to use the specific onReadable() and onWritable() reactor functions as watchStream() has been removed.
• The watch-stream yield command has been removed. Code should be updated to use the new onreadable and onwritable yield commands.

v0.12.1

• Use reactor singleton instance in global functions

v0.12.0

• Generator resolution now accepts string keys to simplify reactor operations via yield
• Fix Promise memory leak + tick starvation when resolving Generator yields inside loops
• Fix infinite loop on nested immediately watchers in LibeventReactor
• Rename any() combinator -> some()
• any() combinator will now never fail.

BC BREAKS:

• The any() combinator no longer fails even if all promises fail. Code wishing for the previous behavior should change references to some() which will only fail if all promises in the group resolve as failures.

v0.11.4

• Fix syntax error :(

v0.11.3

• Fix missing parameters in map/filter

v0.11.2

• Use global reactor if not passed to Future::__construct()

v0.11.1

• Fix bug causing immediate() callback starvation in NativeReactor

v0.11.0

• Added Combinator class
• Watcher IDs are now strings to avoid array key collisions after reaching PHP_INT_MAX keys
• Watcher IDs now begin at one instead of zero making boolean checks for watcher ID existence safe in all scenarios (because a "0" string is never possible)
• Add LibeventReactor::getUnderlyingLoop() for access to lower-level libevent functionality
• Add UvReactor::getUnderlyingLoop() for access to lower-level php-uv functionality
• Reactor::immediately() watchers are now always enacted in a fresh call stack in the next iteration of the event loop. They may still be disabled/enabled/cancelled like any other watcher.
• Reactor::at() implementations now accept unix timestamps in addition to strtotime() parsable strings at parameter 2.
• Implement Alert\SignalReactor interface in Alert\UvReactor for signal handling support
• Fix UvReactor memory leak where one-time watchers were never cleared
• Miscellaneous cleanup

BC BREAKS:

• The following Reactor flags for use with Reactor::watchStream() have been renamed:
  • Reactor::POLL_READ -> Reactor::WATCH_READ
  • Reactor::POLL_WRITE -> Reactor::WATCH_WRITE
  • Reactor::ENABLE_NOW -> Reactor::WATCH_NOW
• The Reactor::POLL_SOCK constant has been removed
• Callback parameter order has changed and is now standardized for all watcher types:
  • timers = func($reactor, $watcherId)
  • stream = func($reactor, $watcherId, $stream)
  • signal = func($reactor, $watcherId, $signo)
• The parameter order in Reactor::watchStream() and watchStream() has changed.

v0.10.2

• Improved perf in procedural functions with static caching to avoid fcall overhead
• Improved function documentation
• Unit test cleanup

v0.10.1

• Fixed syntax goof causing E_PARSE in Alert\ReactorFactory

v0.10.0

• Added functions.php API for reactor use in procedural and functional code.
• ReactoryFactory::select() is now a static singleton method. Single-threaded code should never use multiple event loops. This change is made to ease Reactor procurement and minimize bugs from the existence of multiple Reactor instances in the same thread. It is NOT, however, an excuse to forego dependency injection. Do not abuse the global nature of the event loop. Lazy injection is fine, but laziness on your part as a programmer is not.

BC BREAKS:

• The ReactorFactory::__invoke() magic method has been removed. Any code relying on it must migrate references to ReactoryFactory::select()

v0.9.0

• Reactor instance now passed to optional $onStart callbacks when Reactor::run() is called.
• Add new libuv reactor support (UvReactor) via the php-uv extension. The php-uv extension must be built against commit 75fd2ff591 or newer.
• Add Reactor::watchStream() alternative for IO watching. The $flags bitmask paves the way for additional option specs in the libuv reactor without needlessly complicating the interface.
• Internal watcher IDs now increment from zero instead of PHP_INT_MAX*-1

NO BC BREAKS

v0.8.1

• Fix bug preventing NativeReactor from relinquishing control when no timers or stream watchers exist.
• Fix broken Reactor::at millisecond resolution.

v0.8.0

• Add new SignalReactor for capturing and reacting to POSIX signals
• LibeventReactor now implements SignalReactor
• Remove all concurrency primitives (moved to new After repo)

BC BREAKS:

• Any existing code relying on the Future/Promise/etc concurrency primitives must now use the separate After repo as things files are no longer included with Alert.

v0.7.1

• PromiseGroup now transparently succeeds instead of throwing on empty futures array
• stream_select() errors suppressed in NativeReactor to silence errors on signal interrupts

v0.7.0

• Future is now an interface
• Add Unresolved as the default pending Future (Promise->getFuture())
• Add immutable resolved Failure and Success futures

v0.6.0

• Time intervals are now expected in milliseconds and not seconds.
• Cleaned up unit tests

BC BREAKS:

• Existing interval and delay times must be multiplied x 1000 to retain the same behavior.

v0.5.0

• Pare down the Promise/Future APIs
• Minor performance improvements

BC BREAKS:

• Removed Future::isPending()
• Removed Future::failed()
• Removed Future::onSuccess()
• Removed Future::onFailure()

v0.4.0

• Altered watcher ID generation to avoid potential collisions
• Added optional $onStart callback parameter to Reactor::run() implementations
• Added Scala-like Future\Promise implementation
• Remove Forkable things originally added in v0.2.0 (unnecessary)

BC BREAKS: none

v0.3.0

• Timed event callbacks now passed the reactor instance at param 2 upon invocation
• IO callbacks now passed the reactor instance at param 3 upon invocation
• Minor bugfixes/improvements

BC BREAKS: none

v0.2.0

• Added Alert\Forkable interface for safely forking event reactors without resource corruption
• Alert\LibeventReactor now implements Alert\Forkable

BC BREAKS: none

v0.1.2

• Addressed execution time drift in repeating native reactor alarms

v0.1.1

• Addressed infinite recursion in repeating callbacks

v0.1.0

• Initial tagged release
