Revision history for Perl extension Win32::ProcFarm 2.15 Fri Jan 9 2004 - Added parens to my line in Child.pl to eliminate warning. 2.14 Wed Jan 7 2004 - Added support for using an executable (i.e. PerlApp based) for the child processes. - Migrated Win32 directory into lib and updated Manifest and Makefile.pl. 2.13 Fri Jan 11 15:00:00 2002 - Discovered and fixed a very nasty bug related to my fixes for the Win32::GetTickCount() wrap-around bugs. I was initializing the next_list_check and next_exit_check fields with 0, which meant that if the current Win32::GetTickCount() value was > 2^31, it would be a very long time before those checks were run! - Added support for adding more threads to a pool at runtime. No support exists for reducing the size of a pool. - Doing the above require minor edits to the Port object to support dealing with limited listeners. The code to add threads was modified to support parallelization through a limited number of listeners. - Fixed typo bug relating to result_sub - Extended result_sub to normal pools - Added support for limiting the rate at which jobs execute - Set things up so that the order jobs are listed in waiting_pool matches the order in which they will execute. - Update PingFeedback.pl sample to use result_sub - Patched bug in TickCount.pm that manifested under 5.005. Guess what? 2**32 == 0! Thanks for finding this one go to Sam Crosby. - Updated and extended the samples. - Added a few extra hints to Docs/tutorial.pod. 2.12 Wed Jun 26 11:00:00 2001 - Removed directories from MANIFEST - Fixed various Win32::GetTickCount() wrap-around bugs 2.11 Wed Feb 14 12:01:00 2001 - Updated README file to be based on Docs/overview.pod 2.10 Wed Feb 14 12:00:00 2001 - Added Win32::ProcFarm::PerpetualPool - Lots of bugs cleaned up - Rearchitected Win32::ProcFarm::Pool to make subclassing easier (factored the code more completely) - Modified Win32::ProcFarm::TkPool to reflect the rearchitecture - Even more bugs cleaned up 2.00 Tue Aug 1 12:00:00 2000 - first to-be-but-never-CPANed release in Win32::ProcFarm namespace
