# User Rev Content
1 root 1.1 Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2    
3 root 1.265 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
4 root 1.266 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
5     and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
6 root 1.267 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
7 root 1.265
8 root 1.264 4.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
9 root 1.261 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
10     uppercase targets.
11 root 1.262 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
12     with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
13     causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
14 root 1.260 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
15     creation, with many options including hostname verification,
16     secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
17     predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
18     and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
19     - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
20 root 1.256 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
21     so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
22     in the common case.
23 root 1.258 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
24     - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
25     on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
26 root 1.263 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
27 root 1.257 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
28     failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
29     from the constructor.
30 root 1.259 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
31     then fall back to JSON.
32 root 1.262 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
33     and because it was documented that way.
34 root 1.256
35 root 1.258 4.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
36     - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
37     object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
38    
39 root 1.255 4.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
40     - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
41     an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
42 root 1.251 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
43     AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
44     to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
45 root 1.254 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
46 root 1.252 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
47     - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
48 root 1.255 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
49 root 1.250
50 root 1.249 4.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
51 root 1.248 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
52 root 1.247 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
53     case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
54     even when the calling env acts stupidly.
55 root 1.248 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
56 root 1.247
57 root 1.245 4.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
58 root 1.242 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
59     and set it on the default resolver.
60 root 1.241 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
61 root 1.242 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
62     when running in tainted mode.
63 root 1.244 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
64 root 1.241
65 root 1.240 4.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
66 root 1.239 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
67    
68 root 1.238 4.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
69 root 1.236 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
70     a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
71 root 1.237 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
72     destructors.
73     - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
74     synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
75     implementation.
76 root 1.238 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
77     for cosmetic reasons.
78 root 1.235
79 root 1.234 4.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
80     - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
81 root 1.232 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
82     - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
83     - sped up Tk timer handling.
84 root 1.233 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
85     to avoid spamming out warning messages.
86 root 1.232 - fix Qt timers without interval.
87 root 1.242 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
88 root 1.232
89 root 1.231 4.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
90 root 1.229 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
91 root 1.230 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
92     - add AnyEvent->now_update.
93 root 1.229
94 root 1.228 4.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
95 root 1.225 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
96 root 1.227 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
97     perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
98 root 1.226 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
99 root 1.225
100 root 1.224 4.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
101 root 1.220 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
102     invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
103     and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
104     event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
105     callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
106 root 1.224 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
107 root 1.223 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
108 root 1.220 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
109 root 1.221 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
110     is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
111 root 1.224 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
112 root 1.220
113 root 1.219 4.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
114 root 1.218 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
115     deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
116     read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
117 root 1.214 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
118 root 1.215 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
119     - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
120     backend.
121 root 1.216 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
122 root 1.214
123 root 1.213 4.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
124 root 1.212 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
125     completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
126     so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
127     (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
128     - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
129 root 1.211 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
130    
131 root 1.210 4.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
132     - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
133     illegal.
134 root 1.206 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
135     by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
136 root 1.207 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
137     by Adam Rosenstein).
138 root 1.209 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
139 root 1.208 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
140 root 1.209 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
141 root 1.206
142 root 1.205 4.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
143 root 1.204 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
144     unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
145     the socket type.
146     - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
147    
148 root 1.203 4.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
149 root 1.200 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
150 root 1.203 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
151 root 1.200 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
152     instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
153 root 1.201 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
154 root 1.202 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
155 root 1.198
156 root 1.197 4.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
157 root 1.196 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
158     unless one has been installed already.
159 root 1.197 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
160     (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
161 root 1.193 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
162     - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
163 root 1.191 client would first wait for some data by the server and
164 root 1.197 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
165 root 1.191 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
166 root 1.193 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
167 root 1.191 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
168 root 1.197 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
169 root 1.191 Rosenstein).
170 root 1.193 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
171 root 1.191 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
172     Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
173 root 1.192 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
174     - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
175     instead of simply destroying the stream now.
176 root 1.195 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
177     would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
178 root 1.193 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
179     - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
180     now, more to come, though.
181 root 1.194 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
182 root 1.191
183 root 1.190 4.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
184 root 1.189 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
185     no trace events.
186 root 1.190 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
187     - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
188 root 1.188 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
189 root 1.187 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
190 root 1.190 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
191 root 1.187 Time::HiRes).
192    
193 root 1.186 4.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
194     - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
195     - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
196    
197 root 1.185 4.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
198     - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
199     callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
200     (testcase by Leon Brocard).
201     - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
202    
203 root 1.184 4.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
204     - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
205     (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
206     perls without resource leaks or worse).
207    
208 root 1.183 4.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
209 root 1.177 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
210     the callback.
211 root 1.178 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
212 root 1.180 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
213 root 1.179 eol marker.
214 root 1.180 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
215 root 1.182 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
216 root 1.180 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
217 root 1.177
218 root 1.176 4.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
219 root 1.174 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
220 root 1.175 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
221     working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
222     some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
223     people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
224 root 1.174
225 root 1.173 4.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
226 root 1.171 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
227     which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
228 root 1.172 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
229     why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
230     unusable way.
231     - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
232     AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
233     K. Sharifulin).
234 root 1.170
235 root 1.169 4.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
236 root 1.165 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
237 root 1.164 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
238     be delayed under some circumstances.
239 root 1.167 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
240 root 1.169 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
241     and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
242     - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
243 root 1.168 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
244 root 1.164 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
245    
246 root 1.163 4.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
247 elmex 1.162 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
248 root 1.163 assumption that all data could be written before read
249     (reported by Jim Razmus).
250 elmex 1.162
251 root 1.161 4.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
252 root 1.160 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
253     not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
254     implementation (also affected child watchers).
255 root 1.159 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
256    
257 root 1.158 4.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
258 root 1.159 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
259     on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
260 root 1.158 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
261    
262 root 1.157 4.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
263     - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
264     works.
265    
266 root 1.155 4.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
267 root 1.154 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
268     one watcher was registered for the same fd.
269 root 1.155 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
270     for AnyEvent::Handle.
271 root 1.156 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
272 root 1.153 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
273    
274 root 1.152 4.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
275 elmex 1.149 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
276 root 1.150 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
277     executing the guard block as warnings.
278 root 1.152 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
279 elmex 1.149
280 root 1.148 4.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
281 root 1.146 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
282     contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
283     microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
284 root 1.147 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
285     but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
286     case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
287     and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
288 root 1.145 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
289     when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
290     and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
291     enter an endless loop.
292     - correctly start reading again when the handle became
293     busy again after idling.
294 root 1.146 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
295     (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
296 root 1.145 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
297     (hopefully).
298 root 1.146 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
299     away any time.
300 root 1.145
301 root 1.144 4.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
302     - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
303     anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
304 root 1.143 - allow more options in on_error.
305 root 1.142
306 root 1.141 4.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
307 root 1.135 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
308     reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
309     v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
310 root 1.129 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
311 root 1.130 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
312     also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
313 root 1.134 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
314 root 1.133 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
315     rfc 2782.
316 root 1.137 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
317     - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
318 root 1.138 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
319     being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
320     could die. this has been fixed.
321     - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
322     - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
323 root 1.139 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
324     for resolver class.
325 root 1.140 - update version numbers in all modules.
326 root 1.129
327 root 1.128 4.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
328 root 1.123 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
329     which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
330     for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
331     AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
332 root 1.127 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
333 root 1.124 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
334 root 1.123 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
335     - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
336     a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
337 root 1.126 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
338 root 1.122 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
339     - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
340 root 1.118 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
341     - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
342 root 1.120 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
343 root 1.127 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
344 root 1.121 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
345     select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
346     workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
347     but EV also works around this).
348 root 1.123 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
349 root 1.122 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
350     vs. callback arguments.
351 root 1.127 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
352 root 1.117
353 root 1.116 4.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
354     - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
355     the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
356     didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
357 root 1.114 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
358    
359 root 1.113 4.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
360 root 1.109 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
361 root 1.110 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only

435 root 1.63 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.

437 root 1.67 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.

440     via Coro::AnyEvent.
441 root 1.63
442 root 1.62 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008

446 root 1.54 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
447     the different event loops with each other.
448 root 1.56 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
449     but doesn't crash with many watchers.

451 root 1.56 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
452     kept alive.
453     - document the race between loading of an event module and
454     child processes exiting.
455 root 1.53 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
456 root 1.54 enough, and darn slow).
457 root 1.53 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
458 root 1.60 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
459 root 1.62 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
460 root 1.60 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
461     faster than Event and Glib :).
462 root 1.59 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
463 root 1.62 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
464     to other event loops where possible.

466 root 1.50 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
467 root 1.51 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
468     in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
469     for the same fh/poll combo).

471 root 1.47 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
472 root 1.49 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.

474 root 1.52 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
475 root 1.47
476 root 1.46 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
477     - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
478     - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
479     strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
480     - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
481     better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
482     - do not send the signal to the process group
483     (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
484

491 root 1.40 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
492 root 1.43 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
493     don't get fixed anytime soon).
494 root 1.42 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
495     (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
496     such strong limits).
497 root 1.41 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
498     - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
499     unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
500     any restrictions...).
501     - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
502 root 1.40
503 root 1.39 3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
504 root 1.38 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
505     up the Coro implementation in general.
506     - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.

510 root 1.37 2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008

516    
517 root 1.35 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
518 root 1.34 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is

520 root 1.35 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
521     or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
522     watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite

553 root 1.19 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
554 root 1.20 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
555     - implement signal watchers (experimental)
556     (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
557     so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
558     - implement child watchers (experimental).
559     - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
560     most implementation modules.

589     as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
590     this method.
591     - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
592     and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
593     glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
594     (older) versions of glib.
