21
22 - move seed code to Kernel.
23 - fixed small typo in AnyEvent::MP::Transport.
24
25 1.30 Thu Jun 30 11:30:39 CEST 2011
26 - connection errors at the right time would kill node
27 connections in a bad way (patch by Malcolm Studd).
28
29 1.29 Fri May 7 20:13:39 CEST 2010
30 - codename "Sadrak".
31 - fix error in callback at AnyEvent/MP/Global.pm line 339
32 (found by Sadrak).
33 - listener-less nodes had trouble sending keepalive
34 messages on write timeouts (found by Sadrak).
35 - the monitor guard could cause a memleak due
36 to autovivification if a mon was cleared after
37 the port was gone (analysed by Sadrak).
38 - do not overwrite the config file if we couldn't read it
39 for some reason (lesson demonstrated by Sadrak).
40
41 1.28 Thu Apr 1 21:23:54 CEST 2010
42 - accepted connections didn't correctly set up the SRCNODE
43 in some cases, leading to intra-node messages (such as monitoring)
44 to fail silently (great testcase by Sadrak).
45
46 1.27 Sat Mar 20 21:11:16 CET 2010
47 - avoid exceptions in the transport code if the connection
48 fails during TLS negotiation.
49 - delay new address broadcasts in seednodes, to reduce the
50 likelyhood of nodes connecting at the same time, leading to
51 message loss.
52 - improve general message passing efficiency by 8%, and special
53 case json framing for a 50% speed increase.
54 - add hints how to interface to aemp nodes from other programming
55 languages using the aemp protocol in AnyEvent::MP::Transport
56 (it can really be quite simple).
57 - handle unsupported remote framings more gracefully.
58
59 1.26 Wed Dec 30 16:48:37 CET 2009
60 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the high-level node protocol changed,
61 all nodes need to upgrade.
62 - remote kil's did not work (reported by Eugene Grigoriev).
63 - documented monitor_timeout, connect_interval, auth_offer,
64 auth_accept, framing_format, autocork and nodelay options
65 and make them configurable via bin/aemp.
66 - some doc updates.
67 - remote kil's were not synchronous to message sends which affected
68 nobody, as remote kils were broken.
69 - remote mon/unmonitor requests were not synchronous to message
70 sends either sometimes, although it likely didnt matter.
71
72 1.24 Wed Dec 9 14:59:52 CET 2009
73 - codename "the foul egg".
74 - increased "unmonitored local port died" message level to 2, so
75 it is displayed by default now.
76 - generate random seed at configure time, not module loading time,
77 so fork&configure works as expected.
78 - decreased "seed"-related message priority in Global from 0 (d'oh)
79 to 9, as they are not signifcant.
80 - new experimental module AnyEvent::MP::DataConn to establish
81 additional data connections between nodes.
82 - bin/aemp now loads AnyEvent::Watchdog::Util before trying
83 to call restart.
84 - bin/aemp setcert didn't properly handle the filename argument.
85 - removed empty and unused timeout= parameter from protocol greeting.
86
87 1.23 Fri Nov 6 18:46:26 CET 2009
88 - listener-less nodes were misinformed by their masters about
89 the location of new nodes, and therefore didn't connect
90 properly in all cases.
91 - messages send during node-up processing could sometimes get lost,
92 which would hamper global's ability to mesh the network.
93 - fixed AnyEvent::MP::Global::grp_reg to return a guard also
94 in scalar context.
95 - fixed AnyEvent::MP::Kernel::mon_nodes to return a guard also
96 in scalar context.
97 - try to improve error reporting when automatically loading
98 a function - being unable to load a module will now
99 stop the process and report the error.
100
101 1.22 Sat Oct 17 03:41:47 CEST 2009
102 - fix two rcv-bugs: after adding a tagged rcv, the default
103 callback would not be used or changed anymore (reported
104 by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann, with apologies for
105 taking so long to releae the fix).
106 - added Coro::MP introduction to AnyEvent::MP::Intro.
107 - add peval function.
108
109 1.21 Mon Oct 5 21:58:36 CEST 2009
110 - always delay kil messages.
111 - remote monitor requests were never cleaned up (found by
112 Sadrak and analysed by elmex).
113 - move $VERSION to AnyEvent::MP and AnyEvent::MP only.
114
115 1.2 Thu Oct 1 22:59:35 CEST 2009
116 - fix a rather big bug where message processing could be
117 inhibited completely.
118 - grp_mon could not return a guard due to a typo.
119 - implement primitive aemp shell.
120 - do not use bound address as listen length (reported by
121 Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostman).
122 - no longer export an undefined "reg" function from AE::MP.
123 - the mon_guard return value no longer keeps an additional
124 reference to the passed refs.
125
126 1.1 Fri Sep 11 04:34:03 CEST 2009
127 - bumped the transport protocol to version 1 - sorry, but there
128 were too many bugfixes/changes.
129 - new function AnyEvent::MP::cal for simple rpc.
130 - renamed AnyEvent::MP::Global functions to grp_reg|get|mon.
131 - implemented monitoring for Global groups.
132 - removed all userspace time-outs from the transport, instead
133 rely on tcp retransmit timeouts and tcp keepalive.
134 - spawn now delays spawns on the local node artificially, so
135 it can return before invoking the init function.
136 - break endless recursion between ping-pong ports on the local
137 node after ~50 iterations.
138 - support JSON-encoded aemp arguments.
139 - added aemp restart.
140 - support for starting init functions with parameters added.
141 - data_format, auth_offer and auth_accept are now configurable, albeit
142 not documented.
143 - new service: AnyEvent::MP::LogCatcher.
144 - rely on perl srand'ing better than we could.
145 - try to backport to 5.8.2, unfortunately, recursive dependencies
146 rely on Module::Build, which fails at 5.8.7, so YMMV.
147 - use a vastly different reseeding strategy.
148 - use seed nodes to notify nodes about new nodes.
149 - in the case where a ndoe learns new addresses after it tried
150 connecting, prefer the new addrseses over the old ones.
151
152 1.0 Wed Sep 2 20:40:43 CEST 2009
153 - randomise more connection times, but reduce delay to 0.2s (seeds)
154 and 0.05s (normal connects).
155 - upgrade to and require AnyEvent::Watchdog 1.0.
156
157 0.95 Mon Aug 31 22:03:55 CEST 2009
158 - tutorial finally covers all the basics, maybe not optimally, but it
159 is covered.
160 - rename initialise_node to configure and accepts key => value
161 pairs for configuration.
162 - give aemp a full manpage.
163 - bin/aemp now expects comma-separated lists and supports multiple
164 subcommands.
165 - new aemp eval subcommand.
166 - new aemp parent subcommand.
167 - nodes get freed when no longer needed.
168 - support "*" hostname to specify all local interface addresses
169 (without localhost etc.).
170 - support "*" port to specify a dynamically-assigned port (which
171 is the default now).
172 - fix per-transport memory leak.
173
174 0.9 Sat Aug 29 18:47:45 CEST 2009
175 - tutorial was updated to reflect the current API, but
176 does not touch monitoring yet.
177 - got rid of noderefs and slave nodes entirely, introduce
178 free-text node identifiers and anonymous nodes.
179 - document security issues with tls_anon method and introduce
180 optional tls_md6_64_256 method.
181
182 0.8 Wed Aug 19 07:54:50 CEST 2009
183 - added AnyEvent::MP::Global service.
184 - support "package::" names as service names.
185 - many, many, many bugfixes and tweaks.
186
187 0.7 Sat Aug 15 01:18:51 CEST 2009
188 - sorry, another major API simplification.
189 - greatly improved aemp configuration abilities.
190 - introduced profile management.

195 - do away with .aemp-secret and use .perl-anyevent-mp as json config
196 file.
197 - introduce bin/aemp to configure nodes.
198 - too many changes to describe.
