21 root 1.118 2
22     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the node protocol used by this version is not
23 root 1.121 compatible to versions <2 - you have to upgrade all nodes.
24 root 1.124 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many APIs have changed, see the section
25     "PORTING FROM VERSION 1" in the AnyEvent::MP manpage for details.
26 root 1.121 - AnyEvent::MP::Global is now optional - only seed nodes autoload it
27     and create a fully-meshed network with each other, normal nodes only
28     have to connect to seed nodes, other connections are on-demand.
29 root 1.118 - new "norc" and "force" options for MP::configure to ignore
30     or override the rc file.
31 root 1.116 - move seed code to Kernel.
32 root 1.136 - non-json receive framing was probably broken.
33 root 1.118 - fixed small typo in MP::Transport.
34     - fix (unused) provider-kv (version sometimes missing).
35     - reduce the default export list of MP::Kernel.
36 root 1.120 - reduced various random delays to zero, as they
37     are hopefully no longer needed with the new global
38     protocol.
39 root 1.148 - implement a secure mode that can suppress (some) code execution
40     requests.
41 root 1.122 - do not use GMP for generating alphanumeric strings even when
42     available, use a more tricky algorithm instead.
43 root 1.121 - anonymous node names and remote port names have been shortened
44     considerably.
45 root 1.136 - $AnyEvent::MP::Kernel::SRCNODE contains the node ID of the origin
46     node during message receives.
47 root 1.122 - aemp shell now supports "package" selection and offers an
48 root 1.138 $ECHO port you can send messages to.
49 root 1.122 - rely on perl rand() instead of using /dev/urandom when available, as
50     hopefully it is random enough.
51 root 1.123 - aemp shell no longer leaks one port per command.
52 root 1.125 - nodenames can contain %-escapes such as %n or %u.
53     - aemp now uses aemp/%n/%u as nodename.
54 root 1.143 - configure supports "eval", a small perl snippet to initialsie a node,
55     most useful in "aemp run eval ...".
56 root 1.124 - known_nodes is gone, it has little value, use all_nodes as
57     replacement.
58 root 1.125 - lots of small change and improvements.
59 root 1.134 - node_is_known has been removed.
60 root 1.129 - TRACE now shows the portid on SND.
61 root 1.145 - aggressively reduce number of external modules, to reduce
62     memory usage for nodes.
63 root 1.146 - rework most of the documentation.
64     - clean up MP::Kernel exports.
65 elmex 1.115
66 root 1.114 1.30 Thu Jun 30 11:30:39 CEST 2011
67     - connection errors at the right time would kill node
68     connections in a bad way (patch by Malcolm Studd).
69 root 1.107
70 root 1.113 1.29 Fri May 7 20:13:39 CEST 2010
71     - codename "Sadrak".
72 root 1.111 - fix error in callback at AnyEvent/MP/Global.pm line 339
73     (found by Sadrak).
74 root 1.108 - listener-less nodes had trouble sending keepalive
75 root 1.109 messages on write timeouts (found by Sadrak).
76     - the monitor guard could cause a memleak due
77     to autovivification if a mon was cleared after
78     the port was gone (analysed by Sadrak).
79 root 1.112 - do not overwrite the config file if we couldn't read it
80     for some reason (lesson demonstrated by Sadrak).
81 root 1.108
82 root 1.106 1.28 Thu Apr 1 21:23:54 CEST 2010
83 root 1.111 - accepted connections didn't correctly set up the SRCNODE
84 root 1.106 in some cases, leading to intra-node messages (such as monitoring)
85     to fail silently (great testcase by Sadrak).
86    
87 root 1.105 1.27 Sat Mar 20 21:11:16 CET 2010
88 root 1.101 - avoid exceptions in the transport code if the connection
89     fails during TLS negotiation.
90 root 1.102 - delay new address broadcasts in seednodes, to reduce the
91 root 1.103 likelyhood of nodes connecting at the same time, leading to
92 root 1.102 message loss.
93 root 1.104 - improve general message passing efficiency by 8%, and special
94     case json framing for a 50% speed increase.
95 root 1.99 - add hints how to interface to aemp nodes from other programming
96     languages using the aemp protocol in AnyEvent::MP::Transport
97     (it can really be quite simple).
98 root 1.100 - handle unsupported remote framings more gracefully.
99 root 1.99
100 root 1.98 1.26 Wed Dec 30 16:48:37 CET 2009
101 root 1.94 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the high-level node protocol changed,
102     all nodes need to upgrade.
103 root 1.93 - remote kil's did not work (reported by Eugene Grigoriev).
104 root 1.94 - documented monitor_timeout, connect_interval, auth_offer,
105     auth_accept, framing_format, autocork and nodelay options
106     and make them configurable via bin/aemp.
107 root 1.96 - some doc updates.
108     - remote kil's were not synchronous to message sends which affected
109     nobody, as remote kils were broken.
110 root 1.97 - remote mon/unmonitor requests were not synchronous to message
111     sends either sometimes, although it likely didnt matter.
112 root 1.92
113 root 1.91 1.24 Wed Dec 9 14:59:52 CET 2009
114 root 1.87 - codename "the foul egg".
115     - increased "unmonitored local port died" message level to 2, so
116     it is displayed by default now.
117 root 1.89 - generate random seed at configure time, not module loading time,
118     so fork&configure works as expected.
119 root 1.88 - decreased "seed"-related message priority in Global from 0 (d'oh)
120     to 9, as they are not signifcant.
121 root 1.85 - new experimental module AnyEvent::MP::DataConn to establish
122     additional data connections between nodes.
123 root 1.84 - bin/aemp now loads AnyEvent::Watchdog::Util before trying
124     to call restart.
125 elmex 1.86 - bin/aemp setcert didn't properly handle the filename argument.
126 root 1.90 - removed empty and unused timeout= parameter from protocol greeting.
127 root 1.44
128 root 1.82 1.23 Fri Nov 6 18:46:26 CET 2009
129 root 1.80 - listener-less nodes were misinformed by their masters about
130     the location of new nodes, and therefore didn't connect
131     properly in all cases.
132 root 1.81 - messages send during node-up processing could sometimes get lost,
133     which would hamper global's ability to mesh the network.
134     - fixed AnyEvent::MP::Global::grp_reg to return a guard also
135     in scalar context.
136     - fixed AnyEvent::MP::Kernel::mon_nodes to return a guard also
137     in scalar context.
138 root 1.79 - try to improve error reporting when automatically loading
139     a function - being unable to load a module will now
140     stop the process and report the error.
141 elmex 1.78
142 root 1.77 1.22 Sat Oct 17 03:41:47 CEST 2009
143     - fix two rcv-bugs: after adding a tagged rcv, the default
144     callback would not be used or changed anymore (reported
145     by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann, with apologies for
146     taking so long to releae the fix).
147 root 1.76 - added Coro::MP introduction to AnyEvent::MP::Intro.
148 root 1.75 - add peval function.
149    
150 root 1.74 1.21 Mon Oct 5 21:58:36 CEST 2009
151 root 1.72 - always delay kil messages.
152 root 1.74 - remote monitor requests were never cleaned up (found by
153     Sadrak and analysed by elmex).
154     - move $VERSION to AnyEvent::MP and AnyEvent::MP only.
155 root 1.72
156 root 1.71 1.2 Thu Oct 1 22:59:35 CEST 2009
157 root 1.70 - fix a rather big bug where message processing could be
158     inhibited completely.
159 root 1.65 - grp_mon could not return a guard due to a typo.
160 root 1.66 - implement primitive aemp shell.
161 root 1.67 - do not use bound address as listen length (reported by
162     Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostman).

164 root 1.69 - the mon_guard return value no longer keeps an additional
165     reference to the passed refs.
166 root 1.65
167 root 1.64 1.1 Fri Sep 11 04:34:03 CEST 2009
168 root 1.63 - bumped the transport protocol to version 1 - sorry, but there
169     were too many bugfixes/changes.
170     - new function AnyEvent::MP::cal for simple rpc.
171 root 1.49 - renamed AnyEvent::MP::Global functions to grp_reg|get|mon.
172 root 1.63 - implemented monitoring for Global groups.

174     rely on tcp retransmit timeouts and tcp keepalive.
175 root 1.48 - spawn now delays spawns on the local node artificially, so
176     it can return before invoking the init function.
177 root 1.55 - break endless recursion between ping-pong ports on the local
178     node after ~50 iterations.
179 root 1.47 - support JSON-encoded aemp arguments.

185 root 1.58 - rely on perl srand'ing better than we could.
186     - try to backport to 5.8.2, unfortunately, recursive dependencies
187     rely on Module::Build, which fails at 5.8.7, so YMMV.
188     - use a vastly different reseeding strategy.
189 root 1.61 - use seed nodes to notify nodes about new nodes.
190 root 1.63 - in the case where a ndoe learns new addresses after it tried
191     connecting, prefer the new addrseses over the old ones.

202     pairs for configuration.
203 root 1.33 - give aemp a full manpage.

215 root 1.29 0.9 Sat Aug 29 18:47:45 CEST 2009
216     - tutorial was updated to reflect the current API, but
217 root 1.43 does not touch monitoring yet.
