29 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the node protocol used by this version is not
30 compatible to versions <2 - you have to upgrade all nodes.
31 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many APIs have changed, see the section
32 "PORTING FROM VERSION 1" in the AnyEvent::MP manpage for details.
33 - 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 - new "norc" and "force" options for MP::configure to ignore
37 or override the rc file.
38 - move seed code to Kernel.
39 - fixed small typo in MP::Transport.
40 - fix (unused) provider-kv (version sometimes missing).
41 - reduce the default export list of MP::Kernel.
42 - reduced various random delays to zero, as they
43 are hopefully no longer needed with the new global
44 protocol.
45 - implement a secure mode that can suppress remote code execution
46 requests on a per-node/per-request basis.
47 - do not use GMP for generating alphanumeric strings even when
48 available, use a more tricky algorithm instead.
49 - anonymous node names and remote port names have been shortened
50 considerably.
51 - aemp shell now supports "package" selection and offers an
52 $ECHO port you cna send messages to.
53 - rely on perl rand() instead of using /dev/urandom when available, as
54 hopefully it is random enough.
55 - aemp shell no longer leaks one port per command.
56 - nodenames can contain %-escapes such as %n or %u.
57 - aemp now uses aemp/%n/%u as nodename.
58 - known_nodes is gone, it has little value, use all_nodes as
59 replacement.
60 - lots of small change and improvements.
61 - node_is_known has been removed.
62 - TRACE now shows the portid on SND.
63
641.30 Thu Jun 30 11:30:39 CEST 2011
65 - connection errors at the right time would kill node
66 connections in a bad way (patch by Malcolm Studd).
67
681.29 Fri May 7 20:13:39 CEST 2010
69 - codename "Sadrak".
70 - fix error in callback at AnyEvent/MP/Global.pm line 339
71 (found by Sadrak).
72 - listener-less nodes had trouble sending keepalive
73 messages on write timeouts (found by Sadrak).
74 - the monitor guard could cause a memleak due
75 to autovivification if a mon was cleared after
76 the port was gone (analysed by Sadrak).
77 - do not overwrite the config file if we couldn't read it
78 for some reason (lesson demonstrated by Sadrak).
79
801.28 Thu Apr 1 21:23:54 CEST 2010
81 - accepted connections didn't correctly set up the SRCNODE
82 in some cases, leading to intra-node messages (such as monitoring)
83 to fail silently (great testcase by Sadrak).
84
851.27 Sat Mar 20 21:11:16 CET 2010
86 - avoid exceptions in the transport code if the connection
87 fails during TLS negotiation.
88 - delay new address broadcasts in seednodes, to reduce the
89 likelyhood of nodes connecting at the same time, leading to
90 message loss.
91 - improve general message passing efficiency by 8%, and special
92 case json framing for a 50% speed increase.
93 - add hints how to interface to aemp nodes from other programming
94 languages using the aemp protocol in AnyEvent::MP::Transport
95 (it can really be quite simple).
96 - handle unsupported remote framings more gracefully.
97
981.26 Wed Dec 30 16:48:37 CET 2009
99 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the high-level node protocol changed,
100 all nodes need to upgrade.
101 - remote kil's did not work (reported by Eugene Grigoriev).
102 - documented monitor_timeout, connect_interval, auth_offer,
103 auth_accept, framing_format, autocork and nodelay options
104 and make them configurable via bin/aemp.
105 - some doc updates.
106 - remote kil's were not synchronous to message sends which affected
107 nobody, as remote kils were broken.
108 - remote mon/unmonitor requests were not synchronous to message
109 sends either sometimes, although it likely didnt matter.
110
1111.24 Wed Dec 9 14:59:52 CET 2009
112 - codename "the foul egg".
113 - increased "unmonitored local port died" message level to 2, so
114 it is displayed by default now.
115 - generate random seed at configure time, not module loading time,
116 so fork&configure works as expected.
117 - decreased "seed"-related message priority in Global from 0 (d'oh)
118 to 9, as they are not signifcant.
119 - new experimental module AnyEvent::MP::DataConn to establish
120 additional data connections between nodes.
121 - bin/aemp now loads AnyEvent::Watchdog::Util before trying
122 to call restart.
123 - bin/aemp setcert didn't properly handle the filename argument.
124 - removed empty and unused timeout= parameter from protocol greeting.
125
1261.23 Fri Nov 6 18:46:26 CET 2009
127 - listener-less nodes were misinformed by their masters about
128 the location of new nodes, and therefore didn't connect
129 properly in all cases.
130 - messages send during node-up processing could sometimes get lost,
131 which would hamper global's ability to mesh the network.
132 - fixed AnyEvent::MP::Global::grp_reg to return a guard also
133 in scalar context.
134 - fixed AnyEvent::MP::Kernel::mon_nodes to return a guard also
135 in scalar context.
136 - try to improve error reporting when automatically loading
137 a function - being unable to load a module will now
138 stop the process and report the error.
139
1401.22 Sat Oct 17 03:41:47 CEST 2009
141 - fix two rcv-bugs: after adding a tagged rcv, the default
142 callback would not be used or changed anymore (reported
143 by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann, with apologies for
144 taking so long to releae the fix).
145 - added Coro::MP introduction to AnyEvent::MP::Intro.
146 - add peval function.
147
1481.21 Mon Oct 5 21:58:36 CEST 2009
149 - always delay kil messages.
150 - remote monitor requests were never cleaned up (found by
151 Sadrak and analysed by elmex).
152 - move $VERSION to AnyEvent::MP and AnyEvent::MP only.
153
1541.2 Thu Oct 1 22:59:35 CEST 2009
155 - fix a rather big bug where message processing could be
156 inhibited completely.
157 - grp_mon could not return a guard due to a typo.
158 - implement primitive aemp shell.
159 - do not use bound address as listen length (reported by
160 Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostman).
161 - no longer export an undefined "reg" function from AE::MP.
162 - the mon_guard return value no longer keeps an additional
163 reference to the passed refs.
164
1651.1 Fri Sep 11 04:34:03 CEST 2009
166 - bumped the transport protocol to version 1 - sorry, but there
167 were too many bugfixes/changes.
168 - new function AnyEvent::MP::cal for simple rpc.
169 - renamed AnyEvent::MP::Global functions to grp_reg|get|mon.
170 - implemented monitoring for Global groups.
171 - removed all userspace time-outs from the transport, instead
172 rely on tcp retransmit timeouts and tcp keepalive.
173 - spawn now delays spawns on the local node artificially, so
174 it can return before invoking the init function.
175 - break endless recursion between ping-pong ports on the local
176 node after ~50 iterations.
177 - support JSON-encoded aemp arguments.
178 - added aemp restart.
179 - support for starting init functions with parameters added.
180 - data_format, auth_offer and auth_accept are now configurable, albeit
181 not documented.
182 - new service: AnyEvent::MP::LogCatcher.
183 - rely on perl srand'ing better than we could.
184 - try to backport to 5.8.2, unfortunately, recursive dependencies
185 rely on Module::Build, which fails at 5.8.7, so YMMV.
186 - use a vastly different reseeding strategy.
187 - use seed nodes to notify nodes about new nodes.
188 - in the case where a ndoe learns new addresses after it tried
189 connecting, prefer the new addrseses over the old ones.
190
1911.0 Wed Sep 2 20:40:43 CEST 2009
9 - randomise more connection times, but reduce delay to 0.2s (seeds) 192 - randomise more connection times, but reduce delay to 0.2s (seeds)
10 and 0.05s (normal connects). 193 and 0.05s (normal connects).
194 - upgrade to and require AnyEvent::Watchdog 1.0.
