 # ChangeLog for time-manager
 
+## 0.4.0
+
+* CHANGES IN BEHAVIOUR:
+  * `tickle` is rate-limited/debounced. The renewal is skipped unless a quarter
+    of the timeout (capped at one second) has passed since the timeout was last
+    registered or updated. This does mean a timeout _might_ run a bit earlier
+    than the last `tickle` would indicate, but never more than the maximum
+    debounce period.
+  * `cancel` completely stops the timeout, making it un`resume`able.
+    `resume` will only resume a timeout that has been `pause`d.
+  * Prior to this major version, the `Handle` could be reused to run more
+    timeout actions. Now, a timeout action will only ever run, at most, once.
+    After a timeout action has run, the `Handle` is turned off and won't be
+    `resume`able, necessitating a call to `register` to start a new timeout.
+
+  [#1109](https://github.com/yesodweb/wai/pull/1109)
+
+## 0.3.2
+
+* Add `stopAfterWithResult`. [#1069](https://github.com/yesodweb/wai/pull/1069)
+
+## 0.3.1.1
+
+* Added `README.md` file and improved documentation of modules and functions.
+  [#1057](https://github.com/yesodweb/wai/pull/1057)
+
+## 0.3.1
+
+BUGFIXES:
+
+* [#1055](https://github.com/yesodweb/wai/pull/1055)
+  * `resume` now acts as a `tickle` if the `Handle` isn't paused.
+    This is the same behaviour as before version `0.3.0`.
+  * `registerKillThread` now throws the `TimeoutThread` in a separate
+    thread, so as to not block the GHC's System TimerManager.
+    This does mean that `TimeoutThread` exceptions could technically
+    be thrown "out of order", but they will be more prompt.
+
+
+## 0.3.0
+
+* [#1048](https://github.com/yesodweb/wai/pull/1048)
+  * New architecture. The backend is switched from the designated thread
+    to GHC's System TimerManager. From this version, this library is
+    just wrapper APIs of GHC's System TimerManager. Unlike v0.2 or
+    earlier, callbacks are executed at the exact time. System
+    TimerManager uses a PSQ (a tree) while v0.2 or earlier uses a list.
+    So, this version hopefully scales better.
+  * Deprecated functions: `stopManager`, `killManager` and `withManager'`.
+  * `tickle` sets the specified timeout from now.
+  * `pause` is now identical to `cancel`.
+  * `resume` is now re-registration of timeout.
+  * The signature of `withHandle` is changed.
+
+This change also means that using this package only works with the threaded runtime.
+The moment a timeout is registered on a non-threaded runtime, an exception will be thrown.
+
 ## 0.2.4
 
 * Providing `isAllGone`.

+## time-manager
+
+This package provides module to let you run actions with resettable timeouts
+(i.e. `System.TimeManager`) and run actions that will make sure that all
+threads forked with the given `ThreadManager` will be killed when the action
+finishes.
+
+## WARNINGS
+
+Since version `0.3.0`, **the timeout manager relies on GHC internals**.
+This change also means that using **this package only works with the threaded**
+**runtime**. The moment a timeout is registered on a non-threaded runtime, an
+exception will be thrown.

+-- ============== NOTE ABOUT THREAD SAFETY ==============
+--
+-- The use of 'IORef's are fine in the current situation where
+-- the 'TimeManager' is supposed to be used in a single thread.
+--
+-- The triggered action, though, is run by the Timer Manager
+-- outside of the thread it was registered in.
+-- This will potentially cause race conditions if we implement
+-- anything that depends on the 'Handle's state.
+--
+-- Given the following:
+--   - If run in one thread: 'register/tickle/pause/resume/cancel' never
+--     overlap, making them devoid of race conditions in the general sense.
+--   - We want to hit the Timer Manager as little as possible.
+--   - We want to keep the 'resume/pause' surface functionality intact, while
+--     not hitting the Timer Manager when we don't have to. This means not
+--     cancelling the timeout on a pause, but rather mark the timeout paused.
+--   - Not actually stopping the timeout on 'pause' introduces race
+--     conditions, because the registered action will need to check the 'Handle'
+--     state to see whether it should actually run (Active) or if it should
+--     drop the action (Paused/Stopped).
+--   - Not hitting the Timer Manager on a 'pause' will increase performance on
+--     hot 'resume/pause' loops, like 'warp' has when using a streaming response.
+--   - 'tickle' gets a sort of debounce to avoid repeated updates in hot loops.
+--     - The debounce is 1/4 of the timeout, but we cap it to a maximum of 1 second.
+--     - This means the registered action might run earlier than the timeout
+--       would indicate; that difference going up to a maximum of 'handleMinRenewGap'.
+--   - The following can happen:
+--     - == The "Surprise Active" issue ==
+--        A 'resume' might get called right after a 'Paused' registered action
+--        starts running, and sets the state to 'Active' __before__ the action
+--        inspects the 'Handle' state.
+--     - == The "Dropped Active" issue ==
+--        A 'resume' might get called right after a 'Paused' registered action
+--        starts running, but inspects the state __before__ the action sets the
+--        state to 'Stopped', and the registered action inspects the state
+--        __before__ the 'resume' has set it to 'Active'. Essentially missing
+--        the 'resume' completely.
+--     - == The "Dropped Cancel" issue ==
+--       A 'cancel' getting called right after a 'Paused' registered action
+--       starts running, and cancelling __after__ the action reads the state
+--       will have the registered action overwrite the state to 'Stopped',
+--       when it shouldn't register a new action, but stop everything.
+--     - A 'pause' should technically not be an issue, as it will only run when
+--       the state is 'Active', but it is a function that changes the state, so
+--       just to be cautious, we let it grab the lock.
+--     - A 'tickle' in the same situation doesn't matter, as a 'tickle'
+--       shouldn't activate a 'Paused' state. (and doesn't change any state)
+--   - The "Surprise Active" issue can be mitigated by checking the
+--     'handleLastRenewed' time and reregistering the timeout action with the
+--     remaining amount of microseconds in the case where it has not yet been
+--     'handleTimeout' amount of time.
+--     - A 'tickle' could also cause this if the state was 'Active' all along,
+--       but we'll accept the 'tickle' as being on time to extend the timeout.
+--   - The "Dropped Active" issue is a bit more difficult to mitigate. We'll
+--     need a lock to guarantee that either the activation of 'resume' is seen
+--     by the registered action, or that the termination of the registered
+--     action is seen by the 'resume'.
+--   - The "Dropped Cancel" issue will also be avoided when using a lock.
+--   - The lock will generally never be contested. It is there only for the
+--     off-chance that a state-changing function runs JUST after the registered
