- 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
