23 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the node protocol used by this version is not
24 compatible to versions <2 - you have to upgrade all nodes.
25 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many APIs have changed, see the section
26 "PORTING FROM VERSION 1" in the AnyEvent::MP manpage for details.
27 - AnyEvent::MP::Global is now optional - only seed nodes autoload it
28 and create a fully-meshed network with each other, normal nodes only
29 have to connect to seed nodes, other connections are on-demand.
30 - new "norc" and "force" options for MP::configure to ignore
31 or override the rc file.
32 - move seed code to Kernel.
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 - do not use GMP for generating alphanumeric strings even when
40 available, use a more tricky algorithm instead.
41 - anonymous node names and remote port names have been shortened
42 considerably.
43 - aemp shell now supports "package" selection and offers an
44 $ECHO port you cna send messages to.
45 - rely on perl rand() instead of using /dev/urandom when available, as
46 hopefully it is random enough.
47 - aemp shell no longer leaks one port per command.
48 - nodenames can contain %-escapes such as %n or %u.
49 - aemp now uses aemp/%n/%u as nodename.
50 - known_nodes is gone, it has little value, use all_nodes as
51 replacement.
52 - lots of small change and improvements.
53
54 1.30 Thu Jun 30 11:30:39 CEST 2011
55 - connection errors at the right time would kill node
56 connections in a bad way (patch by Malcolm Studd).
57
58 1.29 Fri May 7 20:13:39 CEST 2010
59 - codename "Sadrak".
60 - fix error in callback at AnyEvent/MP/Global.pm line 339
61 (found by Sadrak).
62 - listener-less nodes had trouble sending keepalive
63 messages on write timeouts (found by Sadrak).
64 - the monitor guard could cause a memleak due
65 to autovivification if a mon was cleared after
66 the port was gone (analysed by Sadrak).
67 - do not overwrite the config file if we couldn't read it
68 for some reason (lesson demonstrated by Sadrak).
69
70 1.28 Thu Apr 1 21:23:54 CEST 2010
71 - accepted connections didn't correctly set up the SRCNODE
72 in some cases, leading to intra-node messages (such as monitoring)
73 to fail silently (great testcase by Sadrak).
74
75 1.27 Sat Mar 20 21:11:16 CET 2010
76 - avoid exceptions in the transport code if the connection
77 fails during TLS negotiation.
78 - delay new address broadcasts in seednodes, to reduce the
79 likelyhood of nodes connecting at the same time, leading to
80 message loss.
81 - improve general message passing efficiency by 8%, and special
82 case json framing for a 50% speed increase.
83 - add hints how to interface to aemp nodes from other programming
84 languages using the aemp protocol in AnyEvent::MP::Transport
85 (it can really be quite simple).
86 - handle unsupported remote framings more gracefully.
87
88 1.26 Wed Dec 30 16:48:37 CET 2009
89 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the high-level node protocol changed,
90 all nodes need to upgrade.
91 - remote kil's did not work (reported by Eugene Grigoriev).
92 - documented monitor_timeout, connect_interval, auth_offer,
93 auth_accept, framing_format, autocork and nodelay options
94 and make them configurable via bin/aemp.
95 - some doc updates.
96 - remote kil's were not synchronous to message sends which affected
97 nobody, as remote kils were broken.
98 - remote mon/unmonitor requests were not synchronous to message
99 sends either sometimes, although it likely didnt matter.
100
101 1.24 Wed Dec 9 14:59:52 CET 2009
102 - codename "the foul egg".
103 - increased "unmonitored local port died" message level to 2, so
104 it is displayed by default now.
105 - generate random seed at configure time, not module loading time,
106 so fork&configure works as expected.
107 - decreased "seed"-related message priority in Global from 0 (d'oh)
108 to 9, as they are not signifcant.
109 - new experimental module AnyEvent::MP::DataConn to establish
110 additional data connections between nodes.
111 - bin/aemp now loads AnyEvent::Watchdog::Util before trying
112 to call restart.
113 - bin/aemp setcert didn't properly handle the filename argument.
114 - removed empty and unused timeout= parameter from protocol greeting.
115
116 1.23 Fri Nov 6 18:46:26 CET 2009
117 - listener-less nodes were misinformed by their masters about
118 the location of new nodes, and therefore didn't connect
119 properly in all cases.
120 - messages send during node-up processing could sometimes get lost,
121 which would hamper global's ability to mesh the network.
122 - fixed AnyEvent::MP::Global::grp_reg to return a guard also
123 in scalar context.
124 - fixed AnyEvent::MP::Kernel::mon_nodes to return a guard also
125 in scalar context.
126 - try to improve error reporting when automatically loading
127 a function - being unable to load a module will now
128 stop the process and report the error.
129
130 1.22 Sat Oct 17 03:41:47 CEST 2009
131 - fix two rcv-bugs: after adding a tagged rcv, the default
132 callback would not be used or changed anymore (reported
133 by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann, with apologies for
134 taking so long to releae the fix).
135 - added Coro::MP introduction to AnyEvent::MP::Intro.
136 - add peval function.
137
138 1.21 Mon Oct 5 21:58:36 CEST 2009
139 - always delay kil messages.
140 - remote monitor requests were never cleaned up (found by
141 Sadrak and analysed by elmex).
142 - move $VERSION to AnyEvent::MP and AnyEvent::MP only.
143
144 1.2 Thu Oct 1 22:59:35 CEST 2009
145 - fix a rather big bug where message processing could be
146 inhibited completely.
147 - grp_mon could not return a guard due to a typo.
148 - implement primitive aemp shell.
149 - do not use bound address as listen length (reported by
150 Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostman).
151 - no longer export an undefined "reg" function from AE::MP.
152 - the mon_guard return value no longer keeps an additional
153 reference to the passed refs.
154
155 1.1 Fri Sep 11 04:34:03 CEST 2009
156 - bumped the transport protocol to version 1 - sorry, but there
157 were too many bugfixes/changes.
158 - new function AnyEvent::MP::cal for simple rpc.
159 - renamed AnyEvent::MP::Global functions to grp_reg|get|mon.
160 - implemented monitoring for Global groups.
161 - removed all userspace time-outs from the transport, instead
162 rely on tcp retransmit timeouts and tcp keepalive.
163 - spawn now delays spawns on the local node artificially, so
164 it can return before invoking the init function.
165 - break endless recursion between ping-pong ports on the local
166 node after ~50 iterations.
167 - support JSON-encoded aemp arguments.
168 - added aemp restart.
169 - support for starting init functions with parameters added.
170 - data_format, auth_offer and auth_accept are now configurable, albeit
171 not documented.
172 - new service: AnyEvent::MP::LogCatcher.
173 - rely on perl srand'ing better than we could.
174 - try to backport to 5.8.2, unfortunately, recursive dependencies
175 rely on Module::Build, which fails at 5.8.7, so YMMV.
176 - use a vastly different reseeding strategy.
177 - use seed nodes to notify nodes about new nodes.
178 - in the case where a ndoe learns new addresses after it tried
179 connecting, prefer the new addrseses over the old ones.
180
181 1.0 Wed Sep 2 20:40:43 CEST 2009
182 - randomise more connection times, but reduce delay to 0.2s (seeds)
183 and 0.05s (normal connects).
184 - upgrade to and require AnyEvent::Watchdog 1.0.
185
186 0.95 Mon Aug 31 22:03:55 CEST 2009
187 - tutorial finally covers all the basics, maybe not optimally, but it
188 is covered.
189 - rename initialise_node to configure and accepts key => value
190 pairs for configuration.
191 - give aemp a full manpage.
192 - bin/aemp now expects comma-separated lists and supports multiple
193 subcommands.
194 - new aemp eval subcommand.
195 - new aemp parent subcommand.
196 - nodes get freed when no longer needed.
197 - support "*" hostname to specify all local interface addresses
198 (without localhost etc.).
199 - support "*" port to specify a dynamically-assigned port (which
200 is the default now).
201 - fix per-transport memory leak.
202
203 0.9 Sat Aug 29 18:47:45 CEST 2009
204 - tutorial was updated to reflect the current API, but
205 does not touch monitoring yet.
206 - got rid of noderefs and slave nodes entirely, introduce
207 free-text node identifiers and anonymous nodes.
208 - document security issues with tls_anon method and introduce
209 optional tls_md6_64_256 method.
210
211 0.8 Wed Aug 19 07:54:50 CEST 2009
212 - added AnyEvent::MP::Global service.
213 - support "package::" names as service names.
214 - many, many, many bugfixes and tweaks.
