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