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