11 TODO: optimised json transport jsonxyz#d#
12 - avoid exceptions in the transport code if the connection
13 fails during TLS negotiation.
14 - delay new address broadcasts in seednodes, to reduce the
15 likelyhood of nodes connecting at the same time, leading to
16 message loss.
17 - improve general message passing efficiency by 8%, and special
18 case json framing for a 50% speed increase.
19 - add hints how to interface to aemp nodes from other programming
20 languages using the aemp protocol in AnyEvent::MP::Transport
21 (it can really be quite simple).
22 - handle unsupported remote framings more gracefully.
23
24 1.26 Wed Dec 30 16:48:37 CET 2009
25 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the high-level node protocol changed,
26 all nodes need to upgrade.
27 - remote kil's did not work (reported by Eugene Grigoriev).
28 - documented monitor_timeout, connect_interval, auth_offer,
29 auth_accept, framing_format, autocork and nodelay options
30 and make them configurable via bin/aemp.
31 - some doc updates.
32 - remote kil's were not synchronous to message sends which affected
33 nobody, as remote kils were broken.
34 - remote mon/unmonitor requests were not synchronous to message
35 sends either sometimes, although it likely didnt matter.
36
37 1.24 Wed Dec 9 14:59:52 CET 2009
38 - codename "the foul egg".
39 - increased "unmonitored local port died" message level to 2, so
40 it is displayed by default now.
41 - generate random seed at configure time, not module loading time,
42 so fork&configure works as expected.
43 - decreased "seed"-related message priority in Global from 0 (d'oh)
44 to 9, as they are not signifcant.
45 - new experimental module AnyEvent::MP::DataConn to establish
46 additional data connections between nodes.
47 - bin/aemp now loads AnyEvent::Watchdog::Util before trying
48 to call restart.
49 - bin/aemp setcert didn't properly handle the filename argument.
50 - removed empty and unused timeout= parameter from protocol greeting.
51
52 1.23 Fri Nov 6 18:46:26 CET 2009
53 - listener-less nodes were misinformed by their masters about
54 the location of new nodes, and therefore didn't connect
55 properly in all cases.
56 - messages send during node-up processing could sometimes get lost,
57 which would hamper global's ability to mesh the network.
58 - fixed AnyEvent::MP::Global::grp_reg to return a guard also
59 in scalar context.
60 - fixed AnyEvent::MP::Kernel::mon_nodes to return a guard also
61 in scalar context.
62 - try to improve error reporting when automatically loading
63 a function - being unable to load a module will now
64 stop the process and report the error.
65
66 1.22 Sat Oct 17 03:41:47 CEST 2009
67 - fix two rcv-bugs: after adding a tagged rcv, the default
68 callback would not be used or changed anymore (reported
69 by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann, with apologies for
70 taking so long to releae the fix).
71 - added Coro::MP introduction to AnyEvent::MP::Intro.
72 - add peval function.
73
74 1.21 Mon Oct 5 21:58:36 CEST 2009
75 - always delay kil messages.
76 - remote monitor requests were never cleaned up (found by
77 Sadrak and analysed by elmex).
78 - move $VERSION to AnyEvent::MP and AnyEvent::MP only.
79
80 1.2 Thu Oct 1 22:59:35 CEST 2009
81 - fix a rather big bug where message processing could be
82 inhibited completely.
83 - grp_mon could not return a guard due to a typo.
84 - implement primitive aemp shell.
85 - do not use bound address as listen length (reported by
86 Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostman).
87 - no longer export an undefined "reg" function from AE::MP.
88 - the mon_guard return value no longer keeps an additional
89 reference to the passed refs.
90
91 1.1 Fri Sep 11 04:34:03 CEST 2009
92 - bumped the transport protocol to version 1 - sorry, but there
93 were too many bugfixes/changes.
94 - new function AnyEvent::MP::cal for simple rpc.
95 - renamed AnyEvent::MP::Global functions to grp_reg|get|mon.
96 - implemented monitoring for Global groups.
97 - removed all userspace time-outs from the transport, instead
98 rely on tcp retransmit timeouts and tcp keepalive.
99 - spawn now delays spawns on the local node artificially, so
100 it can return before invoking the init function.
101 - break endless recursion between ping-pong ports on the local
102 node after ~50 iterations.
103 - support JSON-encoded aemp arguments.
104 - added aemp restart.
105 - support for starting init functions with parameters added.
106 - data_format, auth_offer and auth_accept are now configurable, albeit
107 not documented.
108 - new service: AnyEvent::MP::LogCatcher.
109 - rely on perl srand'ing better than we could.
110 - try to backport to 5.8.2, unfortunately, recursive dependencies
111 rely on Module::Build, which fails at 5.8.7, so YMMV.
112 - use a vastly different reseeding strategy.
113 - use seed nodes to notify nodes about new nodes.
114 - in the case where a ndoe learns new addresses after it tried
115 connecting, prefer the new addrseses over the old ones.
116
117 1.0 Wed Sep 2 20:40:43 CEST 2009
118 - randomise more connection times, but reduce delay to 0.2s (seeds)
119 and 0.05s (normal connects).
120 - upgrade to and require AnyEvent::Watchdog 1.0.
121
122 0.95 Mon Aug 31 22:03:55 CEST 2009
123 - tutorial finally covers all the basics, maybe not optimally, but it
124 is covered.
125 - rename initialise_node to configure and accepts key => value
126 pairs for configuration.
127 - give aemp a full manpage.
128 - bin/aemp now expects comma-separated lists and supports multiple
129 subcommands.
130 - new aemp eval subcommand.
131 - new aemp parent subcommand.
132 - nodes get freed when no longer needed.
133 - support "*" hostname to specify all local interface addresses
134 (without localhost etc.).
135 - support "*" port to specify a dynamically-assigned port (which
136 is the default now).
137 - fix per-transport memory leak.
138
139 0.9 Sat Aug 29 18:47:45 CEST 2009
140 - tutorial was updated to reflect the current API, but
141 does not touch monitoring yet.
142 - got rid of noderefs and slave nodes entirely, introduce
143 free-text node identifiers and anonymous nodes.
144 - document security issues with tls_anon method and introduce
145 optional tls_md6_64_256 method.
146
147 0.8 Wed Aug 19 07:54:50 CEST 2009
148 - added AnyEvent::MP::Global service.
