22 root 1.154
23 root 1.118 2
24     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the node protocol used by this version is not
25 root 1.121 compatible to versions <2 - you have to upgrade all nodes.
26 root 1.124 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many APIs have changed, see the section
27     "PORTING FROM VERSION 1" in the AnyEvent::MP manpage for details.
28 root 1.121 - AnyEvent::MP::Global is now optional - only seed nodes autoload it
29     and create a fully-meshed network with each other, normal nodes only
30     have to connect to seed nodes, other connections are on-demand.
31 root 1.157 - remove md6 auth algorithms (and use algorithms based on SHA3 instead).
32     - implement CBOR framing and make it the preferred format.
33 root 1.118 - new "norc" and "force" options for MP::configure to ignore
34     or override the rc file.
35 root 1.151 - a shitload of minor and major fixes all reported and debugged
36     by Felix Ostmann.
37 root 1.116 - move seed code to Kernel.
38 root 1.136 - non-json receive framing was probably broken.
39 root 1.118 - fixed small typo in MP::Transport.
40     - fix (unused) provider-kv (version sometimes missing).
41     - reduce the default export list of MP::Kernel.
42 root 1.120 - reduced various random delays to zero, as they
43     are hopefully no longer needed with the new global
44     protocol.
45 root 1.148 - implement a secure mode that can suppress (some) code execution
46     requests.
47 root 1.122 - do not use GMP for generating alphanumeric strings even when
48     available, use a more tricky algorithm instead.
49 root 1.121 - anonymous node names and remote port names have been shortened
50     considerably.
51 root 1.136 - $AnyEvent::MP::Kernel::SRCNODE contains the node ID of the origin
52     node during message receives.
53 root 1.122 - aemp shell now supports "package" selection and offers an
54 root 1.138 $ECHO port you can send messages to.
55 root 1.122 - rely on perl rand() instead of using /dev/urandom when available, as
56     hopefully it is random enough.
57 root 1.123 - aemp shell no longer leaks one port per command.
58 root 1.125 - nodenames can contain %-escapes such as %n or %u.
59     - aemp now uses aemp/%n/%u as nodename.
60 root 1.143 - configure supports "eval", a small perl snippet to initialsie a node,
61     most useful in "aemp run eval ...".
62 root 1.124 - known_nodes is gone, it has little value, use all_nodes as
63     replacement.
64 root 1.125 - lots of small change and improvements.
65 root 1.134 - node_is_known has been removed.
66 root 1.129 - TRACE now shows the portid on SND.
67 root 1.145 - aggressively reduce number of external modules, to reduce
68     memory usage for nodes.
69 root 1.146 - rework most of the documentation.
70     - clean up MP::Kernel exports.
71 elmex 1.115
72 root 1.114 1.30 Thu Jun 30 11:30:39 CEST 2011
73     - connection errors at the right time would kill node
74     connections in a bad way (patch by Malcolm Studd).
75 root 1.107
76 root 1.113 1.29 Fri May 7 20:13:39 CEST 2010
77     - codename "Sadrak".
78 root 1.111 - fix error in callback at AnyEvent/MP/Global.pm line 339
79     (found by Sadrak).
80 root 1.108 - listener-less nodes had trouble sending keepalive
81 root 1.109 messages on write timeouts (found by Sadrak).
82     - the monitor guard could cause a memleak due
83     to autovivification if a mon was cleared after
84     the port was gone (analysed by Sadrak).
85 root 1.112 - do not overwrite the config file if we couldn't read it
86     for some reason (lesson demonstrated by Sadrak).
87 root 1.108
88 root 1.106 1.28 Thu Apr 1 21:23:54 CEST 2010
89 root 1.111 - accepted connections didn't correctly set up the SRCNODE
90 root 1.106 in some cases, leading to intra-node messages (such as monitoring)
91     to fail silently (great testcase by Sadrak).
92    
93 root 1.105 1.27 Sat Mar 20 21:11:16 CET 2010
94 root 1.101 - avoid exceptions in the transport code if the connection
95     fails during TLS negotiation.
96 root 1.102 - delay new address broadcasts in seednodes, to reduce the
97 root 1.103 likelyhood of nodes connecting at the same time, leading to
98 root 1.102 message loss.
99 root 1.104 - improve general message passing efficiency by 8%, and special
100     case json framing for a 50% speed increase.
101 root 1.99 - add hints how to interface to aemp nodes from other programming
102     languages using the aemp protocol in AnyEvent::MP::Transport
103     (it can really be quite simple).
104 root 1.100 - handle unsupported remote framings more gracefully.
105 root 1.99
106 root 1.98 1.26 Wed Dec 30 16:48:37 CET 2009
107 root 1.94 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the high-level node protocol changed,
108     all nodes need to upgrade.
109 root 1.93 - remote kil's did not work (reported by Eugene Grigoriev).
110 root 1.94 - documented monitor_timeout, connect_interval, auth_offer,
111     auth_accept, framing_format, autocork and nodelay options
112     and make them configurable via bin/aemp.
113 root 1.96 - some doc updates.
114     - remote kil's were not synchronous to message sends which affected
115     nobody, as remote kils were broken.
116 root 1.97 - remote mon/unmonitor requests were not synchronous to message
117     sends either sometimes, although it likely didnt matter.
118 root 1.92
119 root 1.91 1.24 Wed Dec 9 14:59:52 CET 2009
120 root 1.87 - codename "the foul egg".
121     - increased "unmonitored local port died" message level to 2, so
122     it is displayed by default now.
123 root 1.89 - generate random seed at configure time, not module loading time,
124     so fork&configure works as expected.
125 root 1.88 - decreased "seed"-related message priority in Global from 0 (d'oh)
126     to 9, as they are not signifcant.
127 root 1.85 - new experimental module AnyEvent::MP::DataConn to establish
128     additional data connections between nodes.
129 root 1.84 - bin/aemp now loads AnyEvent::Watchdog::Util before trying
130     to call restart.
131 elmex 1.86 - bin/aemp setcert didn't properly handle the filename argument.
132 root 1.90 - removed empty and unused timeout= parameter from protocol greeting.
133 root 1.44
134 root 1.82 1.23 Fri Nov 6 18:46:26 CET 2009
135 root 1.80 - listener-less nodes were misinformed by their masters about
136     the location of new nodes, and therefore didn't connect
137     properly in all cases.
138 root 1.81 - messages send during node-up processing could sometimes get lost,
139     which would hamper global's ability to mesh the network.
140     - fixed AnyEvent::MP::Global::grp_reg to return a guard also
141     in scalar context.
142     - fixed AnyEvent::MP::Kernel::mon_nodes to return a guard also
143     in scalar context.
144 root 1.79 - try to improve error reporting when automatically loading
145     a function - being unable to load a module will now
146     stop the process and report the error.
147 elmex 1.78
148 root 1.77 1.22 Sat Oct 17 03:41:47 CEST 2009
149     - fix two rcv-bugs: after adding a tagged rcv, the default
150     callback would not be used or changed anymore (reported
151     by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann, with apologies for
152     taking so long to releae the fix).
153 root 1.76 - added Coro::MP introduction to AnyEvent::MP::Intro.

157 root 1.72 - always delay kil messages.
158 root 1.74 - remote monitor requests were never cleaned up (found by
159     Sadrak and analysed by elmex).
160     - move $VERSION to AnyEvent::MP and AnyEvent::MP only.
161 root 1.72
162 root 1.71 1.2 Thu Oct 1 22:59:35 CEST 2009
163 root 1.70 - fix a rather big bug where message processing could be
164     inhibited completely.
165 root 1.65 - grp_mon could not return a guard due to a typo.
166 root 1.66 - implement primitive aemp shell.
167 root 1.67 - do not use bound address as listen length (reported by
168     Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostman).

177 root 1.49 - renamed AnyEvent::MP::Global functions to grp_reg|get|mon.
178 root 1.63 - implemented monitoring for Global groups.

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

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

208     pairs for configuration.
209 root 1.33 - give aemp a full manpage.
210 root 1.30 - bin/aemp now expects comma-separated lists and supports multiple

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

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