Version 0.7.0
released 23/05/2012
- Introduced a xdispatch::once api as a correspondence to the dispatch_once C interface (#379)
- Removed the dependency of QtDispatch on QtNetwork (#389)
- Make all C++ lambda/std::function/Block api functions inlined to support all types from the same binary (#378)
- Restored MinGW support (#392)
- Reworked large parts of the documentation (#377)
- Made xdispatch::sources canceable (#384)
- Added a modules 'findQtDispatch', 'findxdispatch', 'finddispatch' to support calls to find_package (#380)
- Include building proper installer packages on platforms supporting it (currently Ubuntu, Mac OS) in the build process (#368)
- Reworked the xdispatch::source implementation with special regard on the existing, 'native' sourcetypes (#308)
- Reworked the synchronized{} implementation to eradicate degraded performance when using a lot of synchronized blocks (#386)
- Reduced the number of interally used calls to new, moved to smart pointers for interal memory management were possible (#307)
- Rechecked for proper implementations of assignment and comparison operators (#309)
- Moved from dylibs to frameworks on Mac OS
- Officially tested support for Mac OS Lion
- Assigned all shared libraries a proper version number on all platforms
- Dropped support for Visual Studio 2008, need Visual Studio 2008 SP1 instead
- Added support for the upcoming Clang 3.1
- Provide type-safe constants instead of macros within xdispatch and QtDispatch
- Ship documentation within the binary packages on each platform
- Included all headers of Qt by prepending the corresponding Qt module
- Updated the copyright information on all headers
Version 0.6.1
released 22/02/2012
- Fixed a missing boolean variable initialization, causing the select() fallback mechanism to be used on windows from time to time
- Fixed a bug in the windows implementation of kqueue, causing timeouts to be over far too early and thus causing unecessary cpu load when using dispatch timers
- Changed the implementation of _dispatch_get_nanoseconds to return similar values on all platforms
- Added some missing virtual destructors discovered by the code analysis of clang 3.1 (trunk 148486)
- Added flat to disable QtDispatch although Qt is available on the build host
- Fixed a bug within QDispatchGroup causing a call with QTime(0,0) not to wait until the group was entirely processed
- Did a rewrite of the QDispatchGroup implementation more closely to the xdispatch::group, this makes the allFinished signal an opt-in
- Made the event code of the registered QEventType dynamic to resolve conflicts with existing Qt applications
- Fixed a bug causing very early dispatched jobs never to get executed when using QDispatchApplications
- Added missing inclusion of stdlib.h
- Modified exceptions thrown from within xdispatch operations to be caught resulting in a call to abort() as throwing an exception through plain C code results in odd behaviour
Version 0.6.0
released 01/08/2011
- Updated libpthread_workqueue to version 0.8.2 (r200)
- Updated libkqueue to r526
- Merged a patch by Mark Heily originally contributed to the libdispatch mailing lists
- Changed several long datatypes to be an intptr_t instead resulting in better compatibility with non LP64 platforms and a consistent behaviour throughout all architectures
- streamlined the C++ and Qt inspired interfaces to use a consistent setter and getter style throughout the entire api
- Fixed a bug within xdispatch::source causing source handlers to be deleted too early and thus causing sigfaults
- Including a copy of libblocksruntime to enable building with clang and using blocks without needing any further dependencies
- Fixed an issue causing a QDispatchSource not to fire when using custom QIODevices
- Forced use of Winsock2.h instead of Winsock.h on Windows platforms and reduced the number of headers included by xdispatch/dispatch.h
Version 0.5.0
released 01/06/2011
- Improved threading backend implementation on windows
- dispatch sources within the xdispatch C++ interface
- predefined dispatch sources in QtDispatch
- restructured platform/shim source layout
- fixed a memory leak causing lambdas and some operations not to be freed properly
- Added support for Windows VS2010 64bit and VS 2008
- Standard assignment and comparison operators within the C++ APIs
- Updated to libkqueue revision 523
- Merged two patches by Joakim Johansson and a patch provided by Mark Heily and contributed to the original libdispatch sources
Version 0.4.0
released 05/05/2011
- Introducing the original libdispatch implementation on windows and linux resulting in tremendous performance increases.
- Integrating libkqueue by Mark Heily - r500
