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 root 1.158 - include AnyEvent::MP in AnyEvent::MP::Kernel's @CARP_NOT to
72     hopefully improve error messages.
73 elmex 1.115
74 root 1.114 1.30 Thu Jun 30 11:30:39 CEST 2011
75     - connection errors at the right time would kill node
76     connections in a bad way (patch by Malcolm Studd).
77 root 1.107
78 root 1.113 1.29 Fri May 7 20:13:39 CEST 2010
79     - codename "Sadrak".
80 root 1.111 - fix error in callback at AnyEvent/MP/Global.pm line 339
81     (found by Sadrak).
82 root 1.108 - listener-less nodes had trouble sending keepalive
83 root 1.109 messages on write timeouts (found by Sadrak).
84     - the monitor guard could cause a memleak due
85     to autovivification if a mon was cleared after
86     the port was gone (analysed by Sadrak).
87 root 1.112 - do not overwrite the config file if we couldn't read it
88     for some reason (lesson demonstrated by Sadrak).
89 root 1.108
90 root 1.106 1.28 Thu Apr 1 21:23:54 CEST 2010
91 root 1.111 - accepted connections didn't correctly set up the SRCNODE
92 root 1.106 in some cases, leading to intra-node messages (such as monitoring)
93     to fail silently (great testcase by Sadrak).
94    
95 root 1.105 1.27 Sat Mar 20 21:11:16 CET 2010
96 root 1.101 - avoid exceptions in the transport code if the connection
97     fails during TLS negotiation.
98 root 1.102 - delay new address broadcasts in seednodes, to reduce the
99 root 1.103 likelyhood of nodes connecting at the same time, leading to
100 root 1.102 message loss.
101 root 1.104 - improve general message passing efficiency by 8%, and special
102     case json framing for a 50% speed increase.
103 root 1.99 - add hints how to interface to aemp nodes from other programming
104     languages using the aemp protocol in AnyEvent::MP::Transport
105     (it can really be quite simple).
106 root 1.100 - handle unsupported remote framings more gracefully.
107 root 1.99
108 root 1.98 1.26 Wed Dec 30 16:48:37 CET 2009
109 root 1.94 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the high-level node protocol changed,
110     all nodes need to upgrade.
111 root 1.93 - remote kil's did not work (reported by Eugene Grigoriev).
112 root 1.94 - documented monitor_timeout, connect_interval, auth_offer,
113     auth_accept, framing_format, autocork and nodelay options
114     and make them configurable via bin/aemp.
115 root 1.96 - some doc updates.
116     - remote kil's were not synchronous to message sends which affected
117     nobody, as remote kils were broken.
118 root 1.97 - remote mon/unmonitor requests were not synchronous to message
119     sends either sometimes, although it likely didnt matter.
120 root 1.92
121 root 1.91 1.24 Wed Dec 9 14:59:52 CET 2009
122 root 1.87 - codename "the foul egg".
123     - increased "unmonitored local port died" message level to 2, so
124     it is displayed by default now.
125 root 1.89 - generate random seed at configure time, not module loading time,
126     so fork&configure works as expected.
127 root 1.88 - decreased "seed"-related message priority in Global from 0 (d'oh)
128     to 9, as they are not signifcant.
129 root 1.85 - new experimental module AnyEvent::MP::DataConn to establish
130     additional data connections between nodes.
131 root 1.84 - bin/aemp now loads AnyEvent::Watchdog::Util before trying
132     to call restart.
133 elmex 1.86 - bin/aemp setcert didn't properly handle the filename argument.
134 root 1.90 - removed empty and unused timeout= parameter from protocol greeting.
135 root 1.44
136 root 1.82 1.23 Fri Nov 6 18:46:26 CET 2009
137 root 1.80 - listener-less nodes were misinformed by their masters about
138     the location of new nodes, and therefore didn't connect
139     properly in all cases.
140 root 1.81 - messages send during node-up processing could sometimes get lost,
141     which would hamper global's ability to mesh the network.
142     - fixed AnyEvent::MP::Global::grp_reg to return a guard also
143     in scalar context.
144     - fixed AnyEvent::MP::Kernel::mon_nodes to return a guard also
145     in scalar context.
146 root 1.79 - try to improve error reporting when automatically loading
147     a function - being unable to load a module will now
148     stop the process and report the error.
149 elmex 1.78
150 root 1.77 1.22 Sat Oct 17 03:41:47 CEST 2009
151     - fix two rcv-bugs: after adding a tagged rcv, the default
152     callback would not be used or changed anymore (reported
153     by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann, with apologies for
154     taking so long to releae the fix).
155 root 1.76 - added Coro::MP introduction to AnyEvent::MP::Intro.
156 root 1.75 - add peval function.
157    
158 root 1.74 1.21 Mon Oct 5 21:58:36 CEST 2009
159 root 1.72 - always delay kil messages.
160 root 1.74 - remote monitor requests were never cleaned up (found by
161     Sadrak and analysed by elmex).
162     - move $VERSION to AnyEvent::MP and AnyEvent::MP only.
163 root 1.72
164 root 1.71 1.2 Thu Oct 1 22:59:35 CEST 2009
165 root 1.70 - fix a rather big bug where message processing could be
166     inhibited completely.
167 root 1.65 - grp_mon could not return a guard due to a typo.
168 root 1.66 - implement primitive aemp shell.
169 root 1.67 - do not use bound address as listen length (reported by

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

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

193 root 1.58 - rely on perl srand'ing better than we could.
194     - try to backport to 5.8.2, unfortunately, recursive dependencies
195     rely on Module::Build, which fails at 5.8.7, so YMMV.
196     - use a vastly different reseeding strategy.
197 root 1.61 - use seed nodes to notify nodes about new nodes.
198 root 1.63 - in the case where a ndoe learns new addresses after it tried
199     connecting, prefer the new addrseses over the old ones.
200 root 1.46
201 root 1.45 1.0 Wed Sep 2 20:40:43 CEST 2009
202 root 1.44 - randomise more connection times, but reduce delay to 0.2s (seeds)

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

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

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