28
29 2.02 Sun Jul 29 04:22:53 CEST 2018
30 - hardcode version in MP.pm to help the CPAN indexer.
31
32 2.01 Tue Jul 24 09:02:34 CEST 2018
33 - try to work around a race condition that we can't identify
34 (patch suggested by Sadrak).
35
36 2.0 Tue Jul 24 08:52:26 CEST 2018
37 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the node protocol used by this version is not
38 compatible to versions <2 - you have to upgrade all nodes.
39 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many APIs have changed, see the section
40 "PORTING FROM VERSION 1" in the AnyEvent::MP manpage for details.
41 - AnyEvent::MP::Global is now optional - only seed nodes autoload it
42 and create a fully-meshed network with each other, normal nodes only
43 have to connect to seed nodes, other connections are on-demand.
44 - remove md6 auth algorithms (and use algorithms based on SHA3 instead).
45 - implement CBOR framing and make it the preferred format.
46 - new "norc" and "force" options for MP::configure to ignore
47 or override the rc file.
48 - a shitload of minor and major fixes all reported and debugged
49 by Felix Ostmann.
50 - move seed code to Kernel.
51 - non-json receive framing was probably broken.
52 - fixed small typo in MP::Transport.
53 - fix (unused) provider-kv (version sometimes missing).
54 - reduce the default export list of MP::Kernel.
55 - reduced various random delays to zero, as they
56 are hopefully no longer needed with the new global
57 protocol.
58 - implement a secure mode that can suppress (some) code execution
59 requests.
60 - do not use GMP for generating alphanumeric strings even when
61 available, use a more tricky algorithm instead.
62 - anonymous node names and remote port names have been shortened
63 considerably.
64 - $AnyEvent::MP::Kernel::SRCNODE contains the node ID of the origin
65 node during message receives.
66 - aemp shell now supports "package" selection and offers an
67 $ECHO port you can send messages to.
68 - rely on perl rand() instead of using /dev/urandom when available, as
69 hopefully it is random enough.
70 - aemp shell no longer leaks one port per command.
71 - nodenames can contain %-escapes such as %n or %u.
72 - aemp now uses aemp/%n/%u as nodename.
73 - configure supports "eval", a small perl snippet to initialsie a node,
74 most useful in "aemp run eval ...".
75 - known_nodes is gone, it has little value, use all_nodes as
76 replacement.
77 - lots of small change and improvements.
78 - node_is_known has been removed.
79 - TRACE now shows the portid on SND.
80 - aggressively reduce number of external modules, to reduce
81 memory usage for nodes.
82 - rework most of the documentation.
83 - clean up MP::Kernel exports.
84 - include AnyEvent::MP in AnyEvent::MP::Kernel's @CARP_NOT to
85 hopefully improve error messages.
86
87 1.30 Thu Jun 30 11:30:39 CEST 2011
88 - connection errors at the right time would kill node
89 connections in a bad way (patch by Malcolm Studd).
90
91 1.29 Fri May 7 20:13:39 CEST 2010
92 - codename "Sadrak".
93 - fix error in callback at AnyEvent/MP/Global.pm line 339
94 (found by Sadrak).
95 - listener-less nodes had trouble sending keepalive
96 messages on write timeouts (found by Sadrak).
97 - the monitor guard could cause a memleak due
98 to autovivification if a mon was cleared after
99 the port was gone (analysed by Sadrak).
100 - do not overwrite the config file if we couldn't read it
101 for some reason (lesson demonstrated by Sadrak).
102
103 1.28 Thu Apr 1 21:23:54 CEST 2010
104 - accepted connections didn't correctly set up the SRCNODE
105 in some cases, leading to intra-node messages (such as monitoring)
106 to fail silently (great testcase by Sadrak).
107
108 1.27 Sat Mar 20 21:11:16 CET 2010
109 - avoid exceptions in the transport code if the connection
110 fails during TLS negotiation.
111 - delay new address broadcasts in seednodes, to reduce the
112 likelyhood of nodes connecting at the same time, leading to
113 message loss.
114 - improve general message passing efficiency by 8%, and special
115 case json framing for a 50% speed increase.
116 - add hints how to interface to aemp nodes from other programming
117 languages using the aemp protocol in AnyEvent::MP::Transport
118 (it can really be quite simple).
119 - handle unsupported remote framings more gracefully.
120
121 1.26 Wed Dec 30 16:48:37 CET 2009
122 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the high-level node protocol changed,
123 all nodes need to upgrade.
124 - remote kil's did not work (reported by Eugene Grigoriev).
125 - documented monitor_timeout, connect_interval, auth_offer,
126 auth_accept, framing_format, autocork and nodelay options
127 and make them configurable via bin/aemp.
128 - some doc updates.
129 - remote kil's were not synchronous to message sends which affected
130 nobody, as remote kils were broken.
131 - remote mon/unmonitor requests were not synchronous to message
132 sends either sometimes, although it likely didnt matter.
133
134 1.24 Wed Dec 9 14:59:52 CET 2009
135 - codename "the foul egg".
136 - increased "unmonitored local port died" message level to 2, so
137 it is displayed by default now.
138 - generate random seed at configure time, not module loading time,
139 so fork&configure works as expected.
140 - decreased "seed"-related message priority in Global from 0 (d'oh)
141 to 9, as they are not signifcant.
142 - new experimental module AnyEvent::MP::DataConn to establish
143 additional data connections between nodes.
144 - bin/aemp now loads AnyEvent::Watchdog::Util before trying
145 to call restart.
146 - bin/aemp setcert didn't properly handle the filename argument.
147 - removed empty and unused timeout= parameter from protocol greeting.
148
149 1.23 Fri Nov 6 18:46:26 CET 2009
150 - listener-less nodes were misinformed by their masters about
151 the location of new nodes, and therefore didn't connect
152 properly in all cases.
153 - messages send during node-up processing could sometimes get lost,
154 which would hamper global's ability to mesh the network.
155 - fixed AnyEvent::MP::Global::grp_reg to return a guard also
156 in scalar context.
157 - fixed AnyEvent::MP::Kernel::mon_nodes to return a guard also
158 in scalar context.
159 - try to improve error reporting when automatically loading
160 a function - being unable to load a module will now
161 stop the process and report the error.
162
163 1.22 Sat Oct 17 03:41:47 CEST 2009
164 - fix two rcv-bugs: after adding a tagged rcv, the default
165 callback would not be used or changed anymore (reported
166 by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann, with apologies for
167 taking so long to releae the fix).
168 - added Coro::MP introduction to AnyEvent::MP::Intro.
169 - add peval function.
170
171 1.21 Mon Oct 5 21:58:36 CEST 2009
172 - always delay kil messages.
173 - remote monitor requests were never cleaned up (found by
174 Sadrak and analysed by elmex).
175 - move $VERSION to AnyEvent::MP and AnyEvent::MP only.
176
177 1.2 Thu Oct 1 22:59:35 CEST 2009
178 - fix a rather big bug where message processing could be
179 inhibited completely.
180 - grp_mon could not return a guard due to a typo.
181 - implement primitive aemp shell.
182 - do not use bound address as listen length (reported by
183 Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostman).
184 - no longer export an undefined "reg" function from AE::MP.
185 - the mon_guard return value no longer keeps an additional
186 reference to the passed refs.
187
188 1.1 Fri Sep 11 04:34:03 CEST 2009
189 - bumped the transport protocol to version 1 - sorry, but there
190 were too many bugfixes/changes.
191 - new function AnyEvent::MP::cal for simple rpc.
192 - renamed AnyEvent::MP::Global functions to grp_reg|get|mon.
193 - implemented monitoring for Global groups.
194 - removed all userspace time-outs from the transport, instead
195 rely on tcp retransmit timeouts and tcp keepalive.
196 - spawn now delays spawns on the local node artificially, so
197 it can return before invoking the init function.
198 - break endless recursion between ping-pong ports on the local
199 node after ~50 iterations.
200 - support JSON-encoded aemp arguments.
201 - added aemp restart.
202 - support for starting init functions with parameters added.
203 - data_format, auth_offer and auth_accept are now configurable, albeit
204 not documented.
205 - new service: AnyEvent::MP::LogCatcher.
206 - rely on perl srand'ing better than we could.
207 - try to backport to 5.8.2, unfortunately, recursive dependencies
208 rely on Module::Build, which fails at 5.8.7, so YMMV.
209 - use a vastly different reseeding strategy.
210 - use seed nodes to notify nodes about new nodes.
211 - in the case where a ndoe learns new addresses after it tried
212 connecting, prefer the new addrseses over the old ones.
213
214 1.0 Wed Sep 2 20:40:43 CEST 2009
215 - randomise more connection times, but reduce delay to 0.2s (seeds)
216 and 0.05s (normal connects).
217 - upgrade to and require AnyEvent::Watchdog 1.0.
218
219 0.95 Mon Aug 31 22:03:55 CEST 2009
220 - tutorial finally covers all the basics, maybe not optimally, but it
221 is covered.
222 - rename initialise_node to configure and accepts key => value
223 pairs for configuration.
224 - give aemp a full manpage.
225 - bin/aemp now expects comma-separated lists and supports multiple
226 subcommands.
227 - new aemp eval subcommand.
228 - new aemp parent subcommand.
229 - nodes get freed when no longer needed.
230 - support "*" hostname to specify all local interface addresses
231 (without localhost etc.).
232 - support "*" port to specify a dynamically-assigned port (which
233 is the default now).
234 - fix per-transport memory leak.
235
236 0.9 Sat Aug 29 18:47:45 CEST 2009
237 - tutorial was updated to reflect the current API, but
238 does not touch monitoring yet.
239 - got rid of noderefs and slave nodes entirely, introduce
240 free-text node identifiers and anonymous nodes.
241 - document security issues with tls_anon method and introduce
242 optional tls_md6_64_256 method.
243
244 0.8 Wed Aug 19 07:54:50 CEST 2009
