0.12 28 December 2003 Added automatic required modules update using Devel::Required. Added dependency to load.pm, it was missing! 0.11 9 November 2003 Increased dependency on Thread::Conveyor to 0.15 because of problem fix for 5.8.2. 0.10 11 August 2003 Cleaned up Makefile.PL and updated copyright. Made sure the tests run with warnings and on 5.8.1. Increased dependency on Thread::Conveyor to 0.14. 0.09 29 September 2002 Use "load.pm" instead of AutoLoader. Increased dependency on Thread::Conveyor to 0.13, which also uses "load.pm". Removed "our" from $VERSION, should shave off some bytes in memory usage, as found from testing with Benchmark::Thread::Size. 0.08 30 August 2002 Changed all modules to use AutoLoader to defer loading of necessary subroutines to when they are actually needed. This should save memory and CPU for larger programs, or with large numbers of threads. The test-suite only marginally takes more memory and uses less CPU: overhead of compiling is levelled out with the overhead of cloning pre-compiled routines. 0.07 27 August 2002 Added support for checkpoint routine with the "checkpoint" and "frequency" fields and the "frequency" method. Added test-suite and documentation for it. 0.06 20 August 2002 No actual changes to the code, just an upgrade to require the newly fixed Thread::Conveyor 0.08 version. 0.05 13 August 2002 Checked compatibility with Thread::Conveyor 0.06. It is. 7 August 2002 Fixed problem in test-suite cause by some thread inertia that did not show up on my own sllow development machine. 0.04 7 August 2002 Added "private" default optimization setting, instead of the one from Thread::Conveyor. 6 August 2002 Fixed problem in shutdown which would cause deadlocks when using belts optimized for memory. 5 August 2002 Added many more test-cases to the test-suite. Added DESTROY method and clone sensing logic, because a shutdown method is now available. Added method "shutdown" for an orderly shutdown of the monitoring thread. You should now not call method "put" with the exit value anymore. Instead you should call method "shutdown". Added method "tid" to obtain the thread id of the monitoring thread. The "new" method now only returns the instantiated object. If you want access to the monitoring thread, you should obtain that with the new "thread" routine. Made the Thread::Conveyor::Monitored object stand-alone with a Thread::Conveyor::xxx object in its belly. Added access methods so that they apply to the belt rather than the object itself. This makes the Thread::Conveyor::Monitored::Throttled module obsolete: it is now removed from the distribution. Added documentation for all of these new features. Upgraded to be able to use (and required) newest Thread::Conveyor. 0.03 1 August 2002 Changed required version of Thread::Conveyor to 0.04. Fixed problem in "new" when using an existing, unthrottled belt. Fixed problem in test-suite cause by the new ::Throttled sub-class of Thread::Conveyor. 0.02 31 July 2002 Added Thread::Conveyor::Monitored::Throttled almost empty sub-class for handling throttled monitored conveyors. Adapted documentation to reflect the new "maxboxes" and "minboxes" fields and modules. Adapted test-suite as well. Adapted makefile.PL to require Thread::Conveyor 0.03. Adapted "new" to allow for "maxboxes" and "minboxes" settings now that Thread::Conveyor can be throttled. 0.01 25 July 2002 First version of Thread::Conveyor::Monitored, which started life as Thread::Queue::Any::Monitored.
