# User Rev Content
1 root 1.1 Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2    
3 root 1.280 TODO: implement getprotobyname
4 root 1.281 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
5     executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
6     half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
7 root 1.282 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
8     on_read callbacks.
9 root 1.281 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
10 root 1.279
11 root 1.278 4.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
12 root 1.277 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
13     callbacks.
14 root 1.275 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
15     in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
16     module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
17 root 1.276 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
18     Event::Lib.
19     - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
20     to rarely fail.
21 root 1.275
22 root 1.274 4.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
23 root 1.272 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
24     (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
25 root 1.268 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
26     in AnyEvent->io.
27 root 1.265 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
28 root 1.266 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
29     and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
30 root 1.267 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
31 root 1.273 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
32 root 1.270 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
33     portable_socketpair.
34 root 1.271 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
35     YMMV.
36 root 1.265
37 root 1.264 4.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
38 root 1.261 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
39     uppercase targets.
40 root 1.262 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
41     with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
42     causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
43 root 1.260 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
44     creation, with many options including hostname verification,
45     secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
46     predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
47     and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
48     - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
49 root 1.256 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
50     so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
51     in the common case.
52 root 1.258 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
53     - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
54     on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
55 root 1.263 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
56 root 1.257 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
57     failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
58     from the constructor.
59 root 1.259 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
60     then fall back to JSON.
61 root 1.262 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
62     and because it was documented that way.
63 root 1.256
64 root 1.258 4.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
65     - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
66     object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
67    
68 root 1.255 4.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
69     - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
70     an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
71 root 1.251 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
72     AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
73     to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
74 root 1.254 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
75 root 1.252 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
76     - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
77 root 1.255 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
78 root 1.250
79 root 1.249 4.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
80 root 1.248 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
81 root 1.247 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
82     case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
83     even when the calling env acts stupidly.
84 root 1.248 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
85 root 1.247
86 root 1.245 4.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
87 root 1.242 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
88     and set it on the default resolver.
89 root 1.241 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
90 root 1.242 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
91     when running in tainted mode.
92 root 1.244 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
93 root 1.241
94 root 1.240 4.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
95 root 1.239 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
96    
97 root 1.238 4.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
98 root 1.236 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
99     a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
100 root 1.237 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
101     destructors.
102     - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
103     synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
104     implementation.
105 root 1.238 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
106     for cosmetic reasons.
107 root 1.235
108 root 1.234 4.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
109     - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
110 root 1.232 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
111     - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
112     - sped up Tk timer handling.
113 root 1.233 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
114     to avoid spamming out warning messages.
115 root 1.232 - fix Qt timers without interval.
116 root 1.242 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
117 root 1.232
118 root 1.231 4.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
119 root 1.229 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
120 root 1.230 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
121     - add AnyEvent->now_update.
122 root 1.229
123 root 1.228 4.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
124 root 1.225 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
125 root 1.227 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
126     perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
127 root 1.226 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
128 root 1.225
129 root 1.224 4.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
130 root 1.220 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
131     invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
132     and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
133     event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
134     callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
135 root 1.224 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
136 root 1.223 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
137 root 1.220 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
138 root 1.221 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
139     is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
140 root 1.224 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
141 root 1.220
142 root 1.219 4.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
143 root 1.218 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
144     deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
145     read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
146 root 1.214 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
147 root 1.215 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
148     - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
149     backend.
150 root 1.216 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
151 root 1.214
152 root 1.213 4.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
153 root 1.212 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
154     completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
155     so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
156     (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
157     - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
158 root 1.211 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
159    
160 root 1.210 4.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
161     - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
162     illegal.
163 root 1.206 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
164     by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
165 root 1.207 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
166     by Adam Rosenstein).
167 root 1.209 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
168 root 1.208 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
169 root 1.209 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
170 root 1.206
171 root 1.205 4.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
172 root 1.204 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
173     unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
174     the socket type.
175     - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
176    
177 root 1.203 4.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
178 root 1.200 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
179 root 1.203 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
180 root 1.200 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
181     instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
182 root 1.201 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
183 root 1.202 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
184 root 1.198
185 root 1.197 4.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
186 root 1.196 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
187     unless one has been installed already.
188 root 1.197 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
189     (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
190 root 1.193 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
191     - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
192 root 1.191 client would first wait for some data by the server and
193 root 1.197 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
194 root 1.191 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
195 root 1.193 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
196 root 1.191 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
197 root 1.197 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
198 root 1.191 Rosenstein).
199 root 1.193 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
200 root 1.191 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
201     Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
202 root 1.192 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
203     - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
204     instead of simply destroying the stream now.
205 root 1.195 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
206     would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
207 root 1.193 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
208     - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
209     now, more to come, though.
210 root 1.194 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
211 root 1.191
212 root 1.190 4.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
213 root 1.189 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
214     no trace events.
215 root 1.190 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
216     - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
217 root 1.188 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
218 root 1.187 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
219 root 1.190 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
220 root 1.187 Time::HiRes).
221    
222 root 1.186 4.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
223     - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
224     - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
225    
226 root 1.185 4.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
227     - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
228     callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
229     (testcase by Leon Brocard).
230     - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
231    
232 root 1.184 4.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
233     - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
234     (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
235     perls without resource leaks or worse).
236    
237 root 1.183 4.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
238 root 1.177 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
239     the callback.
240 root 1.178 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
241 root 1.180 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
242 root 1.179 eol marker.
243 root 1.180 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
244 root 1.182 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
245 root 1.180 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
246 root 1.177
247 root 1.176 4.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
248 root 1.174 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
249 root 1.175 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
250     working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
251     some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
252     people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
253 root 1.174
254 root 1.173 4.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
255 root 1.171 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
256     which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
257 root 1.172 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
258     why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
259     unusable way.
260     - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
261     AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
262     K. Sharifulin).
263 root 1.170
264 root 1.169 4.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
265 root 1.165 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
266 root 1.164 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
267     be delayed under some circumstances.
268 root 1.167 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
269 root 1.169 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
270     and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
271     - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
272 root 1.168 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
273 root 1.164 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
274    
275 root 1.163 4.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
276 elmex 1.162 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
277 root 1.163 assumption that all data could be written before read
278     (reported by Jim Razmus).
279 elmex 1.162
280 root 1.161 4.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
281 root 1.160 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
282     not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
283     implementation (also affected child watchers).
284 root 1.159 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
285    
286 root 1.158 4.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
287 root 1.159 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
288     on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
289 root 1.158 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
290    
291 root 1.157 4.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
292     - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
293     works.
294    
295 root 1.155 4.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
296 root 1.154 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
297     one watcher was registered for the same fd.
298 root 1.155 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
299     for AnyEvent::Handle.
300 root 1.156 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
301 root 1.153 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
302    
303 root 1.152 4.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
304 elmex 1.149 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
305 root 1.150 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
306     executing the guard block as warnings.
307 root 1.152 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
308 elmex 1.149
309 root 1.148 4.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
310 root 1.146 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
311     contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
312     microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
313 root 1.147 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
314     but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
315     case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
316     and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
317 root 1.145 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
318     when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
319     and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
320     enter an endless loop.
321     - correctly start reading again when the handle became
322     busy again after idling.
323 root 1.146 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
324     (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
325 root 1.145 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
326     (hopefully).
327 root 1.146 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
328     away any time.
329 root 1.145
330 root 1.144 4.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
331     - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
332     anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
333 root 1.143 - allow more options in on_error.
334 root 1.142
335 root 1.141 4.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
336 root 1.135 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
337     reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
338     v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
339 root 1.129 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
340 root 1.130 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
341     also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
342 root 1.134 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
343 root 1.133 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
344     rfc 2782.
345 root 1.137 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
346     - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
347 root 1.138 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
348     being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
349     could die. this has been fixed.
350     - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
351     - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
352 root 1.139 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
353     for resolver class.
354 root 1.140 - update version numbers in all modules.
355 root 1.129
356 root 1.128 4.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
357 root 1.123 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
358     which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
359     for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
360     AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
361 root 1.127 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
362 root 1.124 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
363 root 1.123 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
364     - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying

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

441 root 1.79 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
442     (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).

462 root 1.69 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
463     (still subject to change).
464 root 1.63 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.

466 root 1.67 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
467     (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).

469     via Coro::AnyEvent.
470 root 1.63
471 root 1.62 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008

475 root 1.54 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
476     the different event loops with each other.
477 root 1.56 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
478     but doesn't crash with many watchers.
479 root 1.62 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
480 root 1.56 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
481     kept alive.
482     - document the race between loading of an event module and
483     child processes exiting.
484 root 1.53 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
485 root 1.54 enough, and darn slow).
486 root 1.53 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
487 root 1.60 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
488 root 1.62 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
489 root 1.60 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
490     faster than Event and Glib :).
491 root 1.59 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
492 root 1.62 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
493     to other event loops where possible.
494 root 1.53
495 root 1.50 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
496 root 1.51 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
497     in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
498     for the same fh/poll combo).
499     - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
500 root 1.47 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
501 root 1.49 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.

503 root 1.52 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
504 root 1.47
505 root 1.46 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
506     - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
507     - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
508     strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
509     - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
510     better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
511     - do not send the signal to the process group
512     (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
513    
514 root 1.45 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008

520 root 1.40 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
521 root 1.43 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
522     don't get fixed anytime soon).
523 root 1.42 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
524     (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
525     such strong limits).
526 root 1.41 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
527     - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
528     unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
529     any restrictions...).
530     - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
531 root 1.40
532 root 1.39 3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
533 root 1.38 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
534     up the Coro implementation in general.
535     - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
536     - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should

538 root 1.38
539 root 1.37 2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008

549 root 1.35 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
550     or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child

584     - implement signal watchers (experimental)
585     (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
586     so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
587     - implement child watchers (experimental).

620     - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
