26 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the node protocol used by this version is not
27 compatible to versions <2 - you have to upgrade all node
28 - new "norc" and "force" options for MP::configure to ignore
29 or override the rc file.
30 - move seed code to Kernel.
31 - fixed small typo in MP::Transport.
32 - fix (unused) provider-kv (version sometimes missing).
33 - reduce the default export list of MP::Kernel.
34 - reduced various random delays to zero, as they
35 are hopefully no longer needed with the new global
36 protocol.
37
38 1.30 Thu Jun 30 11:30:39 CEST 2011
39 - connection errors at the right time would kill node
40 connections in a bad way (patch by Malcolm Studd).
41
42 1.29 Fri May 7 20:13:39 CEST 2010
43 - codename "Sadrak".
44 - fix error in callback at AnyEvent/MP/Global.pm line 339
45 (found by Sadrak).
46 - listener-less nodes had trouble sending keepalive
47 messages on write timeouts (found by Sadrak).
48 - the monitor guard could cause a memleak due
49 to autovivification if a mon was cleared after
50 the port was gone (analysed by Sadrak).
51 - do not overwrite the config file if we couldn't read it
52 for some reason (lesson demonstrated by Sadrak).
53
54 1.28 Thu Apr 1 21:23:54 CEST 2010
55 - accepted connections didn't correctly set up the SRCNODE
56 in some cases, leading to intra-node messages (such as monitoring)
57 to fail silently (great testcase by Sadrak).
58
59 1.27 Sat Mar 20 21:11:16 CET 2010
60 - avoid exceptions in the transport code if the connection
61 fails during TLS negotiation.
62 - delay new address broadcasts in seednodes, to reduce the
63 likelyhood of nodes connecting at the same time, leading to
64 message loss.
65 - improve general message passing efficiency by 8%, and special
66 case json framing for a 50% speed increase.
67 - add hints how to interface to aemp nodes from other programming
68 languages using the aemp protocol in AnyEvent::MP::Transport
69 (it can really be quite simple).
70 - handle unsupported remote framings more gracefully.
71
72 1.26 Wed Dec 30 16:48:37 CET 2009
73 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the high-level node protocol changed,
74 all nodes need to upgrade.
75 - remote kil's did not work (reported by Eugene Grigoriev).
76 - documented monitor_timeout, connect_interval, auth_offer,
77 auth_accept, framing_format, autocork and nodelay options
78 and make them configurable via bin/aemp.
79 - some doc updates.
80 - remote kil's were not synchronous to message sends which affected
81 nobody, as remote kils were broken.
82 - remote mon/unmonitor requests were not synchronous to message
83 sends either sometimes, although it likely didnt matter.
84
85 1.24 Wed Dec 9 14:59:52 CET 2009
86 - codename "the foul egg".
87 - increased "unmonitored local port died" message level to 2, so
88 it is displayed by default now.
89 - generate random seed at configure time, not module loading time,
90 so fork&configure works as expected.
91 - decreased "seed"-related message priority in Global from 0 (d'oh)
92 to 9, as they are not signifcant.
93 - new experimental module AnyEvent::MP::DataConn to establish
94 additional data connections between nodes.
95 - bin/aemp now loads AnyEvent::Watchdog::Util before trying
96 to call restart.
97 - bin/aemp setcert didn't properly handle the filename argument.
98 - removed empty and unused timeout= parameter from protocol greeting.
99
100 1.23 Fri Nov 6 18:46:26 CET 2009
101 - listener-less nodes were misinformed by their masters about
102 the location of new nodes, and therefore didn't connect
103 properly in all cases.
104 - messages send during node-up processing could sometimes get lost,
105 which would hamper global's ability to mesh the network.
106 - fixed AnyEvent::MP::Global::grp_reg to return a guard also
107 in scalar context.
108 - fixed AnyEvent::MP::Kernel::mon_nodes to return a guard also
109 in scalar context.
110 - try to improve error reporting when automatically loading
111 a function - being unable to load a module will now
112 stop the process and report the error.
113
114 1.22 Sat Oct 17 03:41:47 CEST 2009
115 - fix two rcv-bugs: after adding a tagged rcv, the default
116 callback would not be used or changed anymore (reported
117 by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann, with apologies for
118 taking so long to releae the fix).
119 - added Coro::MP introduction to AnyEvent::MP::Intro.
120 - add peval function.
121
122 1.21 Mon Oct 5 21:58:36 CEST 2009
123 - always delay kil messages.
124 - remote monitor requests were never cleaned up (found by
125 Sadrak and analysed by elmex).
126 - move $VERSION to AnyEvent::MP and AnyEvent::MP only.
127
128 1.2 Thu Oct 1 22:59:35 CEST 2009
129 - fix a rather big bug where message processing could be
130 inhibited completely.
131 - grp_mon could not return a guard due to a typo.
132 - implement primitive aemp shell.
133 - do not use bound address as listen length (reported by
134 Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostman).
135 - no longer export an undefined "reg" function from AE::MP.
136 - the mon_guard return value no longer keeps an additional
137 reference to the passed refs.
138
139 1.1 Fri Sep 11 04:34:03 CEST 2009
140 - bumped the transport protocol to version 1 - sorry, but there
141 were too many bugfixes/changes.
142 - new function AnyEvent::MP::cal for simple rpc.
143 - renamed AnyEvent::MP::Global functions to grp_reg|get|mon.
144 - implemented monitoring for Global groups.
145 - removed all userspace time-outs from the transport, instead
146 rely on tcp retransmit timeouts and tcp keepalive.
147 - spawn now delays spawns on the local node artificially, so
148 it can return before invoking the init function.
149 - break endless recursion between ping-pong ports on the local
150 node after ~50 iterations.
151 - support JSON-encoded aemp arguments.
152 - added aemp restart.
153 - support for starting init functions with parameters added.
154 - data_format, auth_offer and auth_accept are now configurable, albeit
155 not documented.
156 - new service: AnyEvent::MP::LogCatcher.
157 - rely on perl srand'ing better than we could.
158 - try to backport to 5.8.2, unfortunately, recursive dependencies
159 rely on Module::Build, which fails at 5.8.7, so YMMV.
160 - use a vastly different reseeding strategy.
161 - use seed nodes to notify nodes about new nodes.
162 - in the case where a ndoe learns new addresses after it tried
163 connecting, prefer the new addrseses over the old ones.
164
165 1.0 Wed Sep 2 20:40:43 CEST 2009
166 - randomise more connection times, but reduce delay to 0.2s (seeds)
167 and 0.05s (normal connects).
168 - upgrade to and require AnyEvent::Watchdog 1.0.
169
170 0.95 Mon Aug 31 22:03:55 CEST 2009
171 - tutorial finally covers all the basics, maybe not optimally, but it
172 is covered.
173 - rename initialise_node to configure and accepts key => value
174 pairs for configuration.
175 - give aemp a full manpage.
176 - bin/aemp now expects comma-separated lists and supports multiple
177 subcommands.
178 - new aemp eval subcommand.
179 - new aemp parent subcommand.
180 - nodes get freed when no longer needed.
181 - support "*" hostname to specify all local interface addresses
182 (without localhost etc.).
183 - support "*" port to specify a dynamically-assigned port (which
184 is the default now).
185 - fix per-transport memory leak.
186
187 0.9 Sat Aug 29 18:47:45 CEST 2009
188 - tutorial was updated to reflect the current API, but
189 does not touch monitoring yet.
190 - got rid of noderefs and slave nodes entirely, introduce
191 free-text node identifiers and anonymous nodes.
192 - document security issues with tls_anon method and introduce
193 optional tls_md6_64_256 method.
194
195 0.8 Wed Aug 19 07:54:50 CEST 2009
196 - added AnyEvent::MP::Global service.
197 - support "package::" names as service names.
198 - many, many, many bugfixes and tweaks.
199

208 - do away with .aemp-secret and use .perl-anyevent-mp as json config
209 file.
210 - introduce bin/aemp to configure nodes.
211 - too many changes to describe.

214 - API should now be really stable :)
215 - distinguish between resolved and unresolved noderefs.
