28 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the node protocol used by this version is not
29 compatible to versions <2 - you have to upgrade all nodes.
30 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many APIs have changed, see the section
31 "PORTING FROM VERSION 1" in the AnyEvent::MP manpage for details.
32 - AnyEvent::MP::Global is now optional - only seed nodes autoload it
33 and create a fully-meshed network with each other, normal nodes only
34 have to connect to seed nodes, other connections are on-demand.
35 - new "norc" and "force" options for MP::configure to ignore
36 or override the rc file.
37 - move seed code to Kernel.
38 - fixed small typo in MP::Transport.
39 - fix (unused) provider-kv (version sometimes missing).
40 - reduce the default export list of MP::Kernel.
41 - reduced various random delays to zero, as they
42 are hopefully no longer needed with the new global
43 protocol.
44 - implement a secure mode that can suppress remote code execution
45 requests on a per-node/per-request basis.
46 - do not use GMP for generating alphanumeric strings even when
47 available, use a more tricky algorithm instead.
48 - anonymous node names and remote port names have been shortened
49 considerably.
50 - aemp shell now supports "package" selection and offers an
51 $ECHO port you cna send messages to.
52 - rely on perl rand() instead of using /dev/urandom when available, as
53 hopefully it is random enough.
54 - aemp shell no longer leaks one port per command.
55 - nodenames can contain %-escapes such as %n or %u.
56 - aemp now uses aemp/%n/%u as nodename.
57 - known_nodes is gone, it has little value, use all_nodes as
58 replacement.
59 - lots of small change and improvements.
60 - node_is_known has been removed.
61 - TRACE now shows the portid on SND.
62
63 1.30 Thu Jun 30 11:30:39 CEST 2011
64 - connection errors at the right time would kill node
65 connections in a bad way (patch by Malcolm Studd).
66
67 1.29 Fri May 7 20:13:39 CEST 2010
68 - codename "Sadrak".
69 - fix error in callback at AnyEvent/MP/Global.pm line 339
70 (found by Sadrak).
71 - listener-less nodes had trouble sending keepalive
72 messages on write timeouts (found by Sadrak).
73 - the monitor guard could cause a memleak due
74 to autovivification if a mon was cleared after
75 the port was gone (analysed by Sadrak).
76 - do not overwrite the config file if we couldn't read it
77 for some reason (lesson demonstrated by Sadrak).
78
79 1.28 Thu Apr 1 21:23:54 CEST 2010
80 - accepted connections didn't correctly set up the SRCNODE
81 in some cases, leading to intra-node messages (such as monitoring)
82 to fail silently (great testcase by Sadrak).
83
84 1.27 Sat Mar 20 21:11:16 CET 2010
85 - avoid exceptions in the transport code if the connection
86 fails during TLS negotiation.
87 - delay new address broadcasts in seednodes, to reduce the
88 likelyhood of nodes connecting at the same time, leading to
89 message loss.
90 - improve general message passing efficiency by 8%, and special
91 case json framing for a 50% speed increase.
92 - add hints how to interface to aemp nodes from other programming
93 languages using the aemp protocol in AnyEvent::MP::Transport
94 (it can really be quite simple).
95 - handle unsupported remote framings more gracefully.
96
97 1.26 Wed Dec 30 16:48:37 CET 2009
98 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the high-level node protocol changed,
99 all nodes need to upgrade.
100 - remote kil's did not work (reported by Eugene Grigoriev).
101 - documented monitor_timeout, connect_interval, auth_offer,
102 auth_accept, framing_format, autocork and nodelay options
103 and make them configurable via bin/aemp.
104 - some doc updates.
105 - remote kil's were not synchronous to message sends which affected
106 nobody, as remote kils were broken.
107 - remote mon/unmonitor requests were not synchronous to message
108 sends either sometimes, although it likely didnt matter.
109
110 1.24 Wed Dec 9 14:59:52 CET 2009
111 - codename "the foul egg".
112 - increased "unmonitored local port died" message level to 2, so
113 it is displayed by default now.
114 - generate random seed at configure time, not module loading time,
115 so fork&configure works as expected.
116 - decreased "seed"-related message priority in Global from 0 (d'oh)
117 to 9, as they are not signifcant.
118 - new experimental module AnyEvent::MP::DataConn to establish
119 additional data connections between nodes.
120 - bin/aemp now loads AnyEvent::Watchdog::Util before trying
121 to call restart.
122 - bin/aemp setcert didn't properly handle the filename argument.
123 - removed empty and unused timeout= parameter from protocol greeting.
124
125 1.23 Fri Nov 6 18:46:26 CET 2009
126 - listener-less nodes were misinformed by their masters about
127 the location of new nodes, and therefore didn't connect
128 properly in all cases.
129 - messages send during node-up processing could sometimes get lost,
130 which would hamper global's ability to mesh the network.
131 - fixed AnyEvent::MP::Global::grp_reg to return a guard also
132 in scalar context.
133 - fixed AnyEvent::MP::Kernel::mon_nodes to return a guard also
134 in scalar context.
135 - try to improve error reporting when automatically loading
136 a function - being unable to load a module will now
137 stop the process and report the error.
138
139 1.22 Sat Oct 17 03:41:47 CEST 2009
140 - fix two rcv-bugs: after adding a tagged rcv, the default
141 callback would not be used or changed anymore (reported
142 by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann, with apologies for
143 taking so long to releae the fix).
144 - added Coro::MP introduction to AnyEvent::MP::Intro.
145 - add peval function.
146
147 1.21 Mon Oct 5 21:58:36 CEST 2009
148 - always delay kil messages.
149 - remote monitor requests were never cleaned up (found by
150 Sadrak and analysed by elmex).
151 - move $VERSION to AnyEvent::MP and AnyEvent::MP only.
152
153 1.2 Thu Oct 1 22:59:35 CEST 2009
154 - fix a rather big bug where message processing could be
155 inhibited completely.
156 - grp_mon could not return a guard due to a typo.
157 - implement primitive aemp shell.
158 - do not use bound address as listen length (reported by
159 Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostman).
160 - no longer export an undefined "reg" function from AE::MP.
161 - the mon_guard return value no longer keeps an additional
162 reference to the passed refs.
163
164 1.1 Fri Sep 11 04:34:03 CEST 2009
165 - bumped the transport protocol to version 1 - sorry, but there
166 were too many bugfixes/changes.
167 - new function AnyEvent::MP::cal for simple rpc.
168 - renamed AnyEvent::MP::Global functions to grp_reg|get|mon.
169 - implemented monitoring for Global groups.
170 - removed all userspace time-outs from the transport, instead
171 rely on tcp retransmit timeouts and tcp keepalive.
172 - spawn now delays spawns on the local node artificially, so
173 it can return before invoking the init function.
174 - break endless recursion between ping-pong ports on the local
175 node after ~50 iterations.
176 - support JSON-encoded aemp arguments.
177 - added aemp restart.
178 - support for starting init functions with parameters added.
179 - data_format, auth_offer and auth_accept are now configurable, albeit
180 not documented.
181 - new service: AnyEvent::MP::LogCatcher.
182 - rely on perl srand'ing better than we could.
183 - try to backport to 5.8.2, unfortunately, recursive dependencies
184 rely on Module::Build, which fails at 5.8.7, so YMMV.
185 - use a vastly different reseeding strategy.
186 - use seed nodes to notify nodes about new nodes.
187 - in the case where a ndoe learns new addresses after it tried
188 connecting, prefer the new addrseses over the old ones.
189
190 1.0 Wed Sep 2 20:40:43 CEST 2009
191 - randomise more connection times, but reduce delay to 0.2s (seeds)
192 and 0.05s (normal connects).
193 - upgrade to and require AnyEvent::Watchdog 1.0.
194
195 0.95 Mon Aug 31 22:03:55 CEST 2009
196 - tutorial finally covers all the basics, maybe not optimally, but it
197 is covered.
198 - rename initialise_node to configure and accepts key => value
199 pairs for configuration.
200 - give aemp a full manpage.
201 - bin/aemp now expects comma-separated lists and supports multiple
202 subcommands.
203 - new aemp eval subcommand.
204 - new aemp parent subcommand.
205 - nodes get freed when no longer needed.
206 - support "*" hostname to specify all local interface addresses
207 (without localhost etc.).
208 - support "*" port to specify a dynamically-assigned port (which
209 is the default now).
210 - fix per-transport memory leak.
211
212 0.9 Sat Aug 29 18:47:45 CEST 2009
213 - tutorial was updated to reflect the current API, but
214 does not touch monitoring yet.
215 - got rid of noderefs and slave nodes entirely, introduce
216 free-text node identifiers and anonymous nodes.
217 - document security issues with tls_anon method and introduce
218 optional tls_md6_64_256 method.
219
220 0.8 Wed Aug 19 07:54:50 CEST 2009
