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.
8 - fixed AnyEvent::MP::Global::grp_reg to return a guard also 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
9 in scalar context. 137 in scalar context.
10 - try to improve error reporting when automatically loading 138 - try to improve error reporting when automatically loading
11 a function - being unable to load a module will now 139 a function - being unable to load a module will now
12 stop the process and report the error. 140 stop the process and report the error.
