22 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the node protocol used by this version is not
23 compatible to versions <2 - you have to upgrade all nodes.
24 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many APIs have changed, see the section
25 "PORTING FROM VERSION 1" in the AnyEvent::MP manpage for details.
26 - 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 - new "norc" and "force" options for MP::configure to ignore
30 or override the rc file.
31 - move seed code to Kernel.
32 - non-json receive framing was probably broken.
33 - fixed small typo in MP::Transport.
34 - fix (unused) provider-kv (version sometimes missing).
35 - reduce the default export list of MP::Kernel.
36 - reduced various random delays to zero, as they
37 are hopefully no longer needed with the new global
38 protocol.
39 - implement a secure mode that can suppress (some) code execution
40 requests.
41 - do not use GMP for generating alphanumeric strings even when
42 available, use a more tricky algorithm instead.
43 - anonymous node names and remote port names have been shortened
44 considerably.
45 - $AnyEvent::MP::Kernel::SRCNODE contains the node ID of the origin
46 node during message receives.
47 - aemp shell now supports "package" selection and offers an
48 $ECHO port you can send messages to.
49 - rely on perl rand() instead of using /dev/urandom when available, as
50 hopefully it is random enough.
51 - aemp shell no longer leaks one port per command.
52 - nodenames can contain %-escapes such as %n or %u.
53 - aemp now uses aemp/%n/%u as nodename.
54 - configure supports "eval", a small perl snippet to initialsie a node,
55 most useful in "aemp run eval ...".
56 - known_nodes is gone, it has little value, use all_nodes as
57 replacement.
58 - lots of small change and improvements.
59 - node_is_known has been removed.
60 - TRACE now shows the portid on SND.
61 - aggressively reduce number of external modules, to reduce
62 memory usage for nodes.
63 - rework most of the documentation.
64 - clean up MP::Kernel exports.
65
661.30 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
701.29 Fri May 7 20:13:39 CEST 2010
71 - codename "Sadrak".
72 - fix error in callback at AnyEvent/MP/Global.pm line 339
73 (found by Sadrak).
74 - listener-less nodes had trouble sending keepalive
75 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 - do not overwrite the config file if we couldn't read it
80 for some reason (lesson demonstrated by Sadrak).
81
821.28 Thu Apr 1 21:23:54 CEST 2010
83 - accepted connections didn't correctly set up the SRCNODE
84 in some cases, leading to intra-node messages (such as monitoring)
85 to fail silently (great testcase by Sadrak).
86
871.27 Sat Mar 20 21:11:16 CET 2010
88 - avoid exceptions in the transport code if the connection
89 fails during TLS negotiation.
90 - delay new address broadcasts in seednodes, to reduce the
91 likelyhood of nodes connecting at the same time, leading to
92 message loss.
93 - improve general message passing efficiency by 8%, and special
94 case json framing for a 50% speed increase.
95 - 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 - handle unsupported remote framings more gracefully.
99
1001.26 Wed Dec 30 16:48:37 CET 2009
101 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the high-level node protocol changed,
102 all nodes need to upgrade.
103 - remote kil's did not work (reported by Eugene Grigoriev).
104 - 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 - some doc updates.
108 - remote kil's were not synchronous to message sends which affected
109 nobody, as remote kils were broken.
110 - remote mon/unmonitor requests were not synchronous to message
111 sends either sometimes, although it likely didnt matter.
112
1131.24 Wed Dec 9 14:59:52 CET 2009
114 - codename "the foul egg".
115 - increased "unmonitored local port died" message level to 2, so
116 it is displayed by default now.
117 - generate random seed at configure time, not module loading time,
118 so fork&configure works as expected.
119 - decreased "seed"-related message priority in Global from 0 (d'oh)
120 to 9, as they are not signifcant.
121 - new experimental module AnyEvent::MP::DataConn to establish
122 additional data connections between nodes.
123 - bin/aemp now loads AnyEvent::Watchdog::Util before trying
124 to call restart.
125 - bin/aemp setcert didn't properly handle the filename argument.
126 - removed empty and unused timeout= parameter from protocol greeting.
127
1281.23 Fri Nov 6 18:46:26 CET 2009
129 - 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 - 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 - 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
1421.22 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 - added Coro::MP introduction to AnyEvent::MP::Intro.
148 - add peval function.
149
1501.21 Mon Oct 5 21:58:36 CEST 2009
151 - always delay kil messages.
152 - 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
1561.2 Thu Oct 1 22:59:35 CEST 2009
157 - fix a rather big bug where message processing could be
158 inhibited completely.
159 - grp_mon could not return a guard due to a typo.
160 - implement primitive aemp shell.
161 - do not use bound address as listen length (reported by
162 Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostman).
163 - no longer export an undefined "reg" function from AE::MP.
164 - the mon_guard return value no longer keeps an additional
165 reference to the passed refs.
166
1671.1 Fri Sep 11 04:34:03 CEST 2009
168 - 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.
12 - renamed AnyEvent::MP::Global functions to grp_reg|get|mon. 171 - renamed AnyEvent::MP::Global functions to grp_reg|get|mon.
172 - implemented monitoring for Global groups.
13 - removed all userspace time-outs from the transport, instead 173 - removed all userspace time-outs from the transport, instead
14 rely on tcp retransmit timeouts and tcp keepalive. 174 rely on tcp retransmit timeouts and tcp keepalive.
15 - spawn now delays spawns on the local node artificially, so 175 - spawn now delays spawns on the local node artificially, so
16 it can return before invoking the init function. 176 it can return before invoking the init function.
177 - break endless recursion between ping-pong ports on the local
178 node after ~50 iterations.
17 - support JSON-encoded aemp arguments. 179 - support JSON-encoded aemp arguments.
180 - added aemp restart.
181 - support for starting init functions with parameters added.
182 - data_format, auth_offer and auth_accept are now configurable, albeit
183 not documented.
184 - new service: AnyEvent::MP::LogCatcher.
185 - 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 - use seed nodes to notify nodes about new nodes.
190 - in the case where a ndoe learns new addresses after it tried
191 connecting, prefer the new addrseses over the old ones.
18 192
191.0 Wed Sep 2 20:40:43 CEST 2009 1931.0 Wed Sep 2 20:40:43 CEST 2009
20 - randomise more connection times, but reduce delay to 0.2s (seeds) 194 - randomise more connection times, but reduce delay to 0.2s (seeds)
21 and 0.05s (normal connects). 195 and 0.05s (normal connects).
22 - upgrade to and require AnyEvent::Watchdog 1.0. 196 - upgrade to and require AnyEvent::Watchdog 1.0.
