# User Rev Content
1 root 1.1 Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2    
3 root 1.269 4.801
4 root 1.272 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
5     (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
6 root 1.268 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
7     in AnyEvent->io.
8 root 1.265 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
9 root 1.266 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
10     and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
11 root 1.267 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
12 root 1.270 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
13     portable_socketpair.
14 root 1.271 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
15     YMMV.
16 root 1.265
17 root 1.264 4.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
18 root 1.261 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
19     uppercase targets.
20 root 1.262 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
21     with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
22     causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
23 root 1.260 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
24     creation, with many options including hostname verification,
25     secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
26     predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
27     and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
28     - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
29 root 1.256 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
30     so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
31     in the common case.
32 root 1.258 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
33     - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
34     on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
35 root 1.263 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
36 root 1.257 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
37     failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
38     from the constructor.
39 root 1.259 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
40     then fall back to JSON.
41 root 1.262 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
42     and because it was documented that way.
43 root 1.256
44 root 1.258 4.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
45     - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
46     object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
47    
48 root 1.255 4.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
49     - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
50     an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
51 root 1.251 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
52     AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
53     to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
54 root 1.254 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
55 root 1.252 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
56     - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
57 root 1.255 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
58 root 1.250
59 root 1.249 4.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
60 root 1.248 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
61 root 1.247 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
62     case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
63     even when the calling env acts stupidly.
64 root 1.248 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
65 root 1.247
66 root 1.245 4.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
67 root 1.242 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
68     and set it on the default resolver.
69 root 1.241 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
70 root 1.242 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
71     when running in tainted mode.
72 root 1.244 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
73 root 1.241
74 root 1.240 4.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
75 root 1.239 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
76    
77 root 1.238 4.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
78 root 1.236 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
79     a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
80 root 1.237 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
81     destructors.
82     - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
83     synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
84     implementation.
85 root 1.238 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
86     for cosmetic reasons.
87 root 1.235
88 root 1.234 4.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
89     - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
90 root 1.232 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
91     - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
92     - sped up Tk timer handling.
93 root 1.233 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
94     to avoid spamming out warning messages.
95 root 1.232 - fix Qt timers without interval.
96 root 1.242 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
97 root 1.232
98 root 1.231 4.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
99 root 1.229 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
100 root 1.230 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
101     - add AnyEvent->now_update.
102 root 1.229
103 root 1.228 4.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
104 root 1.225 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
105 root 1.227 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
106     perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
107 root 1.226 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
108 root 1.225
109 root 1.224 4.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
110 root 1.220 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
111     invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
112     and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
113     event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
114     callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
115 root 1.224 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
116 root 1.223 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
117 root 1.220 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
118 root 1.221 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
119     is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
120 root 1.224 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
121 root 1.220
122 root 1.219 4.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
123 root 1.218 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
124     deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
125     read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
126 root 1.214 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
127 root 1.215 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
128     - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
129     backend.
130 root 1.216 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
131 root 1.214
132 root 1.213 4.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
133 root 1.212 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
134     completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
135     so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
136     (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
137     - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
138 root 1.211 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
139    
140 root 1.210 4.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
141     - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
142     illegal.
143 root 1.206 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
144     by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
145 root 1.207 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
146     by Adam Rosenstein).
147 root 1.209 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
148 root 1.208 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
149 root 1.209 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
150 root 1.206
151 root 1.205 4.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
152 root 1.204 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
153     unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
154     the socket type.
155     - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
156    
157 root 1.203 4.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
158 root 1.200 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
159 root 1.203 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
160 root 1.200 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
161     instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
162 root 1.201 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
163 root 1.202 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
164 root 1.198
165 root 1.197 4.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
166 root 1.196 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
167     unless one has been installed already.
168 root 1.197 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
169     (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
170 root 1.193 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
171     - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
172 root 1.191 client would first wait for some data by the server and
173 root 1.197 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
174 root 1.191 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
175 root 1.193 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
176 root 1.191 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
177 root 1.197 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
178 root 1.191 Rosenstein).
179 root 1.193 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
180 root 1.191 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
181     Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
182 root 1.192 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
183     - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
184     instead of simply destroying the stream now.
185 root 1.195 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
186     would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
187 root 1.193 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
188     - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
189     now, more to come, though.
190 root 1.194 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
191 root 1.191
192 root 1.190 4.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
193 root 1.189 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
194     no trace events.
195 root 1.190 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
196     - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
197 root 1.188 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
198 root 1.187 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
199 root 1.190 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
200 root 1.187 Time::HiRes).
201    
202 root 1.186 4.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
203     - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
204     - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
205    
206 root 1.185 4.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
207     - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
208     callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
209     (testcase by Leon Brocard).
210     - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
211    
212 root 1.184 4.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
213     - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
214     (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
215     perls without resource leaks or worse).
216    
217 root 1.183 4.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
218 root 1.177 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
219     the callback.
220 root 1.178 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
221 root 1.180 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
222 root 1.179 eol marker.
223 root 1.180 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
224 root 1.182 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
225 root 1.180 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
226 root 1.177
227 root 1.176 4.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
228 root 1.174 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
229 root 1.175 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
230     working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
231     some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
232     people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
233 root 1.174
234 root 1.173 4.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
235 root 1.171 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
236     which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
237 root 1.172 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
238     why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
239     unusable way.
240     - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
241     AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
242     K. Sharifulin).
243 root 1.170
244 root 1.169 4.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
245 root 1.165 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
246 root 1.164 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
247     be delayed under some circumstances.
248 root 1.167 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
249 root 1.169 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
250     and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
251     - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
252 root 1.168 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
253 root 1.164 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
254    
255 root 1.163 4.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
256 elmex 1.162 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
257 root 1.163 assumption that all data could be written before read
258     (reported by Jim Razmus).
259 elmex 1.162
260 root 1.161 4.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
261 root 1.160 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
262     not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
263     implementation (also affected child watchers).
264 root 1.159 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
265    
266 root 1.158 4.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
267 root 1.159 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
268     on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
269 root 1.158 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
270    
271 root 1.157 4.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
272     - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
273     works.
274    
275 root 1.155 4.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
276 root 1.154 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
277     one watcher was registered for the same fd.
278 root 1.155 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
279     for AnyEvent::Handle.
280 root 1.156 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
281 root 1.153 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
282    
283 root 1.152 4.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
284 elmex 1.149 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
285 root 1.150 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
286     executing the guard block as warnings.
287 root 1.152 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
288 elmex 1.149
289 root 1.148 4.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
290 root 1.146 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
291     contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
292     microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
293 root 1.147 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
294     but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
295     case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
296     and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
297 root 1.145 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
298     when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
299     and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
300     enter an endless loop.
301     - correctly start reading again when the handle became
302     busy again after idling.
303 root 1.146 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
304     (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
305 root 1.145 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
306     (hopefully).
307 root 1.146 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
308     away any time.
309 root 1.145
310 root 1.144 4.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
311     - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
312     anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
313 root 1.143 - allow more options in on_error.
314 root 1.142
315 root 1.141 4.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
316 root 1.135 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
317     reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
318     v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
319 root 1.129 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
320 root 1.130 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
321     also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
322 root 1.134 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
323 root 1.133 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
324     rfc 2782.
325 root 1.137 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
326     - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
327 root 1.138 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
328     being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
329     could die. this has been fixed.
330     - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
331     - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
332 root 1.139 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
333     for resolver class.
334 root 1.140 - update version numbers in all modules.
335 root 1.129
336 root 1.128 4.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
337 root 1.123 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
338     which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
339     for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
340     AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
341 root 1.127 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
342 root 1.124 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
343 root 1.123 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
344     - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
345     a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
346 root 1.126 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
347 root 1.122 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
348     - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
349 root 1.118 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
350     - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
351 root 1.120 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
352 root 1.127 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
353 root 1.121 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
354     select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
355     workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
356     but EV also works around this).
357 root 1.123 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
358 root 1.122 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
359     vs. callback arguments.
360 root 1.127 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
361 root 1.117
362 root 1.116 4.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
363     - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to

370 root 1.110 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
371     EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.

379     (still a hack...)
380     - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.

421 root 1.79 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC

440 root 1.181 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
441 root 1.70 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
442 root 1.69 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
443     (still subject to change).
444 root 1.63 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
445 root 1.68 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
446 root 1.67 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
447     (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
448 root 1.66 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
449     via Coro::AnyEvent.
450 root 1.63
451 root 1.62 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008

453 root 1.55 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
454     when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
455 root 1.54 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
456     the different event loops with each other.
457 root 1.56 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
458     but doesn't crash with many watchers.
459 root 1.62 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
460 root 1.56 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
461     kept alive.
462     - document the race between loading of an event module and
463     child processes exiting.
464 root 1.53 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
465 root 1.54 enough, and darn slow).
466 root 1.53 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
467 root 1.60 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
468 root 1.62 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
469 root 1.60 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
470     faster than Event and Glib :).
471 root 1.59 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
472 root 1.62 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
473     to other event loops where possible.
474 root 1.53
475 root 1.50 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
476 root 1.51 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
477     in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
478     for the same fh/poll combo).
479     - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
480 root 1.47 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
481 root 1.49 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.

483 root 1.52 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
484 root 1.47
485 root 1.46 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
486     - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
487     - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
488     strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
489     - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
490     better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
491     - do not send the signal to the process group
492     (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
493

499 root 1.43 3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
500 root 1.40 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
501 root 1.43 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
502     don't get fixed anytime soon).
503 root 1.42 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
504     (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
505     such strong limits).
506 root 1.41 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
507     - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
508     unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
509     any restrictions...).
510     - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
511 root 1.40
512 root 1.39 3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008

564     - implement signal watchers (experimental)
