27 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the node protocol used by this version is not
28 compatible to versions <2 - you have to upgrade all nodes.
29 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many APIs have changed, see the section
30 "PORTING FROM VERSION 1" in the AnyEvent::MP manpage for details.
31 - AnyEvent::MP::Global is now optional - only seed nodes autoload it
32 and create a fully-meshed network with each other, normal nodes only
33 have to connect to seed nodes, other connections are on-demand.
34 - new "norc" and "force" options for MP::configure to ignore
35 or override the rc file.
36 - move seed code to Kernel.
37 - non-json receive framing was probably broken.
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 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 - $AnyEvent::MP::Kernel::SRCNODE contains the node ID of the origin
51 node during message receives.
52 - aemp shell now supports "package" selection and offers an
53 $ECHO port you cna send messages to.
54 - rely on perl rand() instead of using /dev/urandom when available, as
55 hopefully it is random enough.
56 - aemp shell no longer leaks one port per command.
57 - nodenames can contain %-escapes such as %n or %u.
58 - aemp now uses aemp/%n/%u as nodename.
59 - known_nodes is gone, it has little value, use all_nodes as
60 replacement.
61 - lots of small change and improvements.
62 - node_is_known has been removed.
63 - TRACE now shows the portid on SND.
64
65 1.30 Thu Jun 30 11:30:39 CEST 2011
66 - connection errors at the right time would kill node
67 connections in a bad way (patch by Malcolm Studd).
68
69 1.29 Fri May 7 20:13:39 CEST 2010
70 - codename "Sadrak".
71 - fix error in callback at AnyEvent/MP/Global.pm line 339
72 (found by Sadrak).
73 - listener-less nodes had trouble sending keepalive
74 messages on write timeouts (found by Sadrak).
75 - the monitor guard could cause a memleak due
76 to autovivification if a mon was cleared after
77 the port was gone (analysed by Sadrak).
78 - do not overwrite the config file if we couldn't read it
79 for some reason (lesson demonstrated by Sadrak).
80
81 1.28 Thu Apr 1 21:23:54 CEST 2010
82 - accepted connections didn't correctly set up the SRCNODE
83 in some cases, leading to intra-node messages (such as monitoring)
84 to fail silently (great testcase by Sadrak).
85
86 1.27 Sat Mar 20 21:11:16 CET 2010
87 - avoid exceptions in the transport code if the connection
88 fails during TLS negotiation.
89 - delay new address broadcasts in seednodes, to reduce the
90 likelyhood of nodes connecting at the same time, leading to
91 message loss.
92 - improve general message passing efficiency by 8%, and special
93 case json framing for a 50% speed increase.
94 - add hints how to interface to aemp nodes from other programming
95 languages using the aemp protocol in AnyEvent::MP::Transport
96 (it can really be quite simple).
97 - handle unsupported remote framings more gracefully.
98
99 1.26 Wed Dec 30 16:48:37 CET 2009
100 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the high-level node protocol changed,
101 all nodes need to upgrade.
102 - remote kil's did not work (reported by Eugene Grigoriev).
103 - documented monitor_timeout, connect_interval, auth_offer,
104 auth_accept, framing_format, autocork and nodelay options
105 and make them configurable via bin/aemp.
106 - some doc updates.
107 - remote kil's were not synchronous to message sends which affected
108 nobody, as remote kils were broken.
109 - remote mon/unmonitor requests were not synchronous to message
110 sends either sometimes, although it likely didnt matter.
111
112 1.24 Wed Dec 9 14:59:52 CET 2009
113 - codename "the foul egg".
114 - increased "unmonitored local port died" message level to 2, so
115 it is displayed by default now.
116 - generate random seed at configure time, not module loading time,
117 so fork&configure works as expected.
118 - decreased "seed"-related message priority in Global from 0 (d'oh)
119 to 9, as they are not signifcant.
120 - new experimental module AnyEvent::MP::DataConn to establish
121 additional data connections between nodes.
122 - bin/aemp now loads AnyEvent::Watchdog::Util before trying
123 to call restart.
124 - bin/aemp setcert didn't properly handle the filename argument.
125 - removed empty and unused timeout= parameter from protocol greeting.
126
127 1.23 Fri Nov 6 18:46:26 CET 2009
128 - listener-less nodes were misinformed by their masters about
129 the location of new nodes, and therefore didn't connect
130 properly in all cases.
131 - messages send during node-up processing could sometimes get lost,
132 which would hamper global's ability to mesh the network.
133 - fixed AnyEvent::MP::Global::grp_reg to return a guard also
134 in scalar context.
135 - fixed AnyEvent::MP::Kernel::mon_nodes to return a guard also
136 in scalar context.
137 - try to improve error reporting when automatically loading
138 a function - being unable to load a module will now
139 stop the process and report the error.
140
141 1.22 Sat Oct 17 03:41:47 CEST 2009
142 - fix two rcv-bugs: after adding a tagged rcv, the default
143 callback would not be used or changed anymore (reported
144 by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann, with apologies for
145 taking so long to releae the fix).
146 - added Coro::MP introduction to AnyEvent::MP::Intro.
147 - add peval function.
148
149 1.21 Mon Oct 5 21:58:36 CEST 2009
150 - always delay kil messages.
151 - remote monitor requests were never cleaned up (found by
152 Sadrak and analysed by elmex).
153 - move $VERSION to AnyEvent::MP and AnyEvent::MP only.
154
155 1.2 Thu Oct 1 22:59:35 CEST 2009
156 - fix a rather big bug where message processing could be
157 inhibited completely.
158 - grp_mon could not return a guard due to a typo.
159 - implement primitive aemp shell.
160 - do not use bound address as listen length (reported by
161 Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostman).
162 - no longer export an undefined "reg" function from AE::MP.
163 - the mon_guard return value no longer keeps an additional
164 reference to the passed refs.
165
166 1.1 Fri Sep 11 04:34:03 CEST 2009
167 - bumped the transport protocol to version 1 - sorry, but there
168 were too many bugfixes/changes.
169 - new function AnyEvent::MP::cal for simple rpc.
170 - renamed AnyEvent::MP::Global functions to grp_reg|get|mon.
171 - implemented monitoring for Global groups.
172 - removed all userspace time-outs from the transport, instead
173 rely on tcp retransmit timeouts and tcp keepalive.
174 - spawn now delays spawns on the local node artificially, so
175 it can return before invoking the init function.
176 - break endless recursion between ping-pong ports on the local
177 node after ~50 iterations.
178 - support JSON-encoded aemp arguments.
179 - added aemp restart.
180 - support for starting init functions with parameters added.
181 - data_format, auth_offer and auth_accept are now configurable, albeit
182 not documented.
183 - new service: AnyEvent::MP::LogCatcher.
184 - rely on perl srand'ing better than we could.
185 - try to backport to 5.8.2, unfortunately, recursive dependencies
186 rely on Module::Build, which fails at 5.8.7, so YMMV.
187 - use a vastly different reseeding strategy.
188 - use seed nodes to notify nodes about new nodes.
189 - in the case where a ndoe learns new addresses after it tried
190 connecting, prefer the new addrseses over the old ones.
191
192 1.0 Wed Sep 2 20:40:43 CEST 2009
193 - randomise more connection times, but reduce delay to 0.2s (seeds)
194 and 0.05s (normal connects).
195 - upgrade to and require AnyEvent::Watchdog 1.0.
196
197 0.95 Mon Aug 31 22:03:55 CEST 2009
198 - tutorial finally covers all the basics, maybe not optimally, but it
199 is covered.
200 - rename initialise_node to configure and accepts key => value
201 pairs for configuration.
202 - give aemp a full manpage.
203 - bin/aemp now expects comma-separated lists and supports multiple
204 subcommands.
205 - new aemp eval subcommand.
206 - new aemp parent subcommand.
207 - nodes get freed when no longer needed.
208 - support "*" hostname to specify all local interface addresses
209 (without localhost etc.).
210 - support "*" port to specify a dynamically-assigned port (which
211 is the default now).
212 - fix per-transport memory leak.
213
214 0.9 Sat Aug 29 18:47:45 CEST 2009
215 - tutorial was updated to reflect the current API, but
216 does not touch monitoring yet.
217 - got rid of noderefs and slave nodes entirely, introduce
218 free-text node identifiers and anonymous nodes.
219 - document security issues with tls_anon method and introduce
220 optional tls_md6_64_256 method.
221
222 0.8 Wed Aug 19 07:54:50 CEST 2009
223 - added AnyEvent::MP::Global service.
224 - support "package::" names as service names.
225 - many, many, many bugfixes and tweaks.
