26 root 1.118 2
27     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the node protocol used by this version is not
28 root 1.121 compatible to versions <2 - you have to upgrade all nodes.
29 root 1.124 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many APIs have changed, see the section
30     "PORTING FROM VERSION 1" in the AnyEvent::MP manpage for details.
31 root 1.152 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: remove md6 auth algorithms (and use algorithms
32     based on SHA3 instead).
33 root 1.121 - AnyEvent::MP::Global is now optional - only seed nodes autoload it
34     and create a fully-meshed network with each other, normal nodes only
35     have to connect to seed nodes, other connections are on-demand.
36 root 1.118 - new "norc" and "force" options for MP::configure to ignore
37     or override the rc file.
38 root 1.151 - a shitload of minor and major fixes all reported and debugged
39     by Felix Ostmann.
40 root 1.116 - move seed code to Kernel.
41 root 1.136 - non-json receive framing was probably broken.
42 root 1.118 - fixed small typo in MP::Transport.
43     - fix (unused) provider-kv (version sometimes missing).
44     - reduce the default export list of MP::Kernel.
45 root 1.120 - reduced various random delays to zero, as they
46     are hopefully no longer needed with the new global
47     protocol.
48 root 1.148 - implement a secure mode that can suppress (some) code execution
49     requests.
50 root 1.122 - do not use GMP for generating alphanumeric strings even when
51     available, use a more tricky algorithm instead.
52 root 1.121 - anonymous node names and remote port names have been shortened
53     considerably.
54 root 1.136 - $AnyEvent::MP::Kernel::SRCNODE contains the node ID of the origin
55     node during message receives.
56 root 1.122 - aemp shell now supports "package" selection and offers an
57 root 1.138 $ECHO port you can send messages to.
58 root 1.122 - rely on perl rand() instead of using /dev/urandom when available, as
59     hopefully it is random enough.
60 root 1.123 - aemp shell no longer leaks one port per command.
61 root 1.125 - nodenames can contain %-escapes such as %n or %u.
62     - aemp now uses aemp/%n/%u as nodename.
63 root 1.143 - configure supports "eval", a small perl snippet to initialsie a node,
64     most useful in "aemp run eval ...".
65 root 1.124 - known_nodes is gone, it has little value, use all_nodes as
66     replacement.
67 root 1.125 - lots of small change and improvements.
68 root 1.134 - node_is_known has been removed.
69 root 1.129 - TRACE now shows the portid on SND.
70 root 1.145 - aggressively reduce number of external modules, to reduce
71     memory usage for nodes.
72 root 1.146 - rework most of the documentation.
73     - clean up MP::Kernel exports.
74 elmex 1.115
75 root 1.114 1.30 Thu Jun 30 11:30:39 CEST 2011
76     - connection errors at the right time would kill node
77     connections in a bad way (patch by Malcolm Studd).
78 root 1.107
79 root 1.113 1.29 Fri May 7 20:13:39 CEST 2010
80     - codename "Sadrak".
81 root 1.111 - fix error in callback at AnyEvent/MP/Global.pm line 339
82     (found by Sadrak).
83 root 1.108 - listener-less nodes had trouble sending keepalive
84 root 1.109 messages on write timeouts (found by Sadrak).
85     - the monitor guard could cause a memleak due
86     to autovivification if a mon was cleared after
87     the port was gone (analysed by Sadrak).
88 root 1.112 - do not overwrite the config file if we couldn't read it
89     for some reason (lesson demonstrated by Sadrak).
90 root 1.108
91 root 1.106 1.28 Thu Apr 1 21:23:54 CEST 2010
92 root 1.111 - accepted connections didn't correctly set up the SRCNODE
93 root 1.106 in some cases, leading to intra-node messages (such as monitoring)
94     to fail silently (great testcase by Sadrak).
95    
96 root 1.105 1.27 Sat Mar 20 21:11:16 CET 2010
97 root 1.101 - avoid exceptions in the transport code if the connection
98     fails during TLS negotiation.
99 root 1.102 - delay new address broadcasts in seednodes, to reduce the
100 root 1.103 likelyhood of nodes connecting at the same time, leading to
101 root 1.102 message loss.
102 root 1.104 - improve general message passing efficiency by 8%, and special
103     case json framing for a 50% speed increase.
104 root 1.99 - add hints how to interface to aemp nodes from other programming
105     languages using the aemp protocol in AnyEvent::MP::Transport
106     (it can really be quite simple).
107 root 1.100 - handle unsupported remote framings more gracefully.
108 root 1.99
109 root 1.98 1.26 Wed Dec 30 16:48:37 CET 2009
110 root 1.94 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the high-level node protocol changed,
111     all nodes need to upgrade.
112 root 1.93 - remote kil's did not work (reported by Eugene Grigoriev).
113 root 1.94 - documented monitor_timeout, connect_interval, auth_offer,
114     auth_accept, framing_format, autocork and nodelay options
115     and make them configurable via bin/aemp.
116 root 1.96 - some doc updates.
117     - remote kil's were not synchronous to message sends which affected
118     nobody, as remote kils were broken.
119 root 1.97 - remote mon/unmonitor requests were not synchronous to message
120     sends either sometimes, although it likely didnt matter.
121 root 1.92
122 root 1.91 1.24 Wed Dec 9 14:59:52 CET 2009
123 root 1.87 - codename "the foul egg".
124     - increased "unmonitored local port died" message level to 2, so
125     it is displayed by default now.
126 root 1.89 - generate random seed at configure time, not module loading time,
127     so fork&configure works as expected.
128 root 1.88 - decreased "seed"-related message priority in Global from 0 (d'oh)
129     to 9, as they are not signifcant.
130 root 1.85 - new experimental module AnyEvent::MP::DataConn to establish
131     additional data connections between nodes.
132 root 1.84 - bin/aemp now loads AnyEvent::Watchdog::Util before trying
133     to call restart.
134 elmex 1.86 - bin/aemp setcert didn't properly handle the filename argument.
135 root 1.90 - removed empty and unused timeout= parameter from protocol greeting.
136 root 1.44
137 root 1.82 1.23 Fri Nov 6 18:46:26 CET 2009
138 root 1.80 - listener-less nodes were misinformed by their masters about
139     the location of new nodes, and therefore didn't connect
140     properly in all cases.
141 root 1.81 - messages send during node-up processing could sometimes get lost,
142     which would hamper global's ability to mesh the network.
143     - fixed AnyEvent::MP::Global::grp_reg to return a guard also
144     in scalar context.
145     - fixed AnyEvent::MP::Kernel::mon_nodes to return a guard also
146     in scalar context.
147 root 1.79 - try to improve error reporting when automatically loading
148     a function - being unable to load a module will now
149     stop the process and report the error.
150 elmex 1.78
151 root 1.77 1.22 Sat Oct 17 03:41:47 CEST 2009
152     - fix two rcv-bugs: after adding a tagged rcv, the default
153     callback would not be used or changed anymore (reported
154     by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann, with apologies for
155     taking so long to releae the fix).
156 root 1.76 - added Coro::MP introduction to AnyEvent::MP::Intro.
157 root 1.75 - add peval function.
158    
159 root 1.74 1.21 Mon Oct 5 21:58:36 CEST 2009
160 root 1.72 - always delay kil messages.
161 root 1.74 - remote monitor requests were never cleaned up (found by
162     Sadrak and analysed by elmex).
163     - move $VERSION to AnyEvent::MP and AnyEvent::MP only.
164 root 1.72
165 root 1.71 1.2 Thu Oct 1 22:59:35 CEST 2009
166 root 1.70 - fix a rather big bug where message processing could be
167     inhibited completely.
168 root 1.65 - grp_mon could not return a guard due to a typo.
169 root 1.66 - implement primitive aemp shell.
170 root 1.67 - do not use bound address as listen length (reported by
171     Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostman).

178     were too many bugfixes/changes.
179     - new function AnyEvent::MP::cal for simple rpc.
180 root 1.49 - renamed AnyEvent::MP::Global functions to grp_reg|get|mon.
181 root 1.63 - implemented monitoring for Global groups.

183     rely on tcp retransmit timeouts and tcp keepalive.
184 root 1.48 - spawn now delays spawns on the local node artificially, so
185     it can return before invoking the init function.
186 root 1.55 - break endless recursion between ping-pong ports on the local
187     node after ~50 iterations.
188 root 1.47 - support JSON-encoded aemp arguments.

193 root 1.54 - new service: AnyEvent::MP::LogCatcher.
194 root 1.58 - rely on perl srand'ing better than we could.
195     - try to backport to 5.8.2, unfortunately, recursive dependencies
196     rely on Module::Build, which fails at 5.8.7, so YMMV.
197     - use a vastly different reseeding strategy.
198 root 1.61 - use seed nodes to notify nodes about new nodes.
199 root 1.63 - in the case where a ndoe learns new addresses after it tried
200     connecting, prefer the new addrseses over the old ones.
201 root 1.46
202 root 1.45 1.0 Wed Sep 2 20:40:43 CEST 2009

209     is covered.
210 root 1.38 - rename initialise_node to configure and accepts key => value
211     pairs for configuration.
212 root 1.33 - give aemp a full manpage.
213 root 1.30 - bin/aemp now expects comma-separated lists and supports multiple

217 root 1.31 - nodes get freed when no longer needed.
218 root 1.35 - support "*" hostname to specify all local interface addresses

223 root 1.30
224 root 1.29 0.9 Sat Aug 29 18:47:45 CEST 2009
225     - tutorial was updated to reflect the current API, but
226 root 1.43 does not touch monitoring yet.
