1 root 1.1 Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2    
3 root 1.280 TODO: implement getprotobyname
4 root 1.283 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
5     waits and will croak.
6 root 1.281 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
7     executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
8     half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
9 root 1.282 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
10     on_read callbacks.
11 root 1.281 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
12 root 1.279
13 root 1.278 4.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
14 root 1.277 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
15     callbacks.
16 root 1.275 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
17     in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
18     module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
19 root 1.276 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
20     Event::Lib.
21     - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
22     to rarely fail.
23 root 1.275
24 root 1.274 4.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
25 root 1.272 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
26     (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
27 root 1.268 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
28     in AnyEvent->io.
29 root 1.265 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
30 root 1.266 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
31     and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
32 root 1.267 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
33 root 1.273 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
34 root 1.270 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
35     portable_socketpair.
36 root 1.271 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
37     YMMV.
38 root 1.265
39 root 1.264 4.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
40 root 1.261 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
41     uppercase targets.
42 root 1.262 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
43     with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
44     causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
45 root 1.260 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
46     creation, with many options including hostname verification,
47     secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
48     predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
49     and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
50     - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
51 root 1.256 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
52     so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
53     in the common case.
54 root 1.258 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
55     - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
56     on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
57 root 1.263 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
58 root 1.257 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
59     failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
60     from the constructor.
61 root 1.259 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
62     then fall back to JSON.
63 root 1.262 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
64     and because it was documented that way.
65 root 1.256
66 root 1.258 4.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
67     - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
68     object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
69    
70 root 1.255 4.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
71     - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
72     an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
73 root 1.251 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
74     AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
75     to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
76 root 1.254 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
77 root 1.252 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
78     - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
79 root 1.255 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
80 root 1.250
81 root 1.249 4.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
82 root 1.248 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
83 root 1.247 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
84     case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
85     even when the calling env acts stupidly.
86 root 1.248 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
87 root 1.247
88 root 1.245 4.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
89 root 1.242 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
90     and set it on the default resolver.
91 root 1.241 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
92 root 1.242 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
93     when running in tainted mode.
94 root 1.244 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
95 root 1.241
96 root 1.240 4.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
97 root 1.239 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
98    
99 root 1.238 4.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
100 root 1.236 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
101     a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
102 root 1.237 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
103     destructors.
104     - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
105     synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
106     implementation.
107 root 1.238 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
108     for cosmetic reasons.
109 root 1.235
110 root 1.234 4.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
111     - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
112 root 1.232 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
113     - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
114     - sped up Tk timer handling.
115 root 1.233 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
116     to avoid spamming out warning messages.
117 root 1.232 - fix Qt timers without interval.
118 root 1.242 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
119 root 1.232
120 root 1.231 4.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
121 root 1.229 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
122 root 1.230 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
123     - add AnyEvent->now_update.
124 root 1.229
125 root 1.228 4.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
126 root 1.225 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
127 root 1.227 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
128     perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
129 root 1.226 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
130 root 1.225
131 root 1.224 4.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
132 root 1.220 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
133     invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
134     and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
135     event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
136     callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
137 root 1.224 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
138 root 1.223 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
139 root 1.220 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
140 root 1.221 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
141     is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
142 root 1.224 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
143 root 1.220
144 root 1.219 4.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
145 root 1.218 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
146     deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
147     read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
148 root 1.214 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
149 root 1.215 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
150     - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
151     backend.
152 root 1.216 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
153 root 1.214
154 root 1.213 4.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
155 root 1.212 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
156     completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
157     so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
158     (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
159     - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
160 root 1.211 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
161    
162 root 1.210 4.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
163     - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
164     illegal.
165 root 1.206 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
166     by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
167 root 1.207 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
168     by Adam Rosenstein).
169 root 1.209 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
170 root 1.208 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
171 root 1.209 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
172 root 1.206
173 root 1.205 4.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
174 root 1.204 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
175     unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
176     the socket type.
177     - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
178    
179 root 1.203 4.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
180 root 1.200 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
181 root 1.203 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
182 root 1.200 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
183     instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
184 root 1.201 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
185 root 1.202 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
186 root 1.198
187 root 1.197 4.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
188 root 1.196 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
189     unless one has been installed already.
190 root 1.197 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
191     (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
192 root 1.193 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
193     - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
194 root 1.191 client would first wait for some data by the server and
195 root 1.197 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
196 root 1.191 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
197 root 1.193 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
198 root 1.191 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
199 root 1.197 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
200 root 1.191 Rosenstein).
201 root 1.193 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
202 root 1.191 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
203     Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
204 root 1.192 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
205     - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
206     instead of simply destroying the stream now.
207 root 1.195 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
208     would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
209 root 1.193 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
210     - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
211     now, more to come, though.
212 root 1.194 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
213 root 1.191
214 root 1.190 4.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
215 root 1.189 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
216     no trace events.
217 root 1.190 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
218     - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
219 root 1.188 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
220 root 1.187 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
221 root 1.190 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
222 root 1.187 Time::HiRes).
223    
224 root 1.186 4.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
225     - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
226     - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
227    
228 root 1.185 4.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
229     - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
230     callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
231     (testcase by Leon Brocard).
232     - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
233    
234 root 1.184 4.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
235     - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
236     (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
237     perls without resource leaks or worse).
238    
239 root 1.183 4.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
240 root 1.177 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
241     the callback.
242 root 1.178 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
243 root 1.180 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
244 root 1.179 eol marker.
245 root 1.180 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
246 root 1.182 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
247 root 1.180 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
248 root 1.177
249 root 1.176 4.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
250 root 1.174 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
251 root 1.175 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
252     working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
253     some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
254     people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
255 root 1.174
256 root 1.173 4.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
257 root 1.171 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
258     which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
259 root 1.172 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
260     why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
261     unusable way.
262     - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
263     AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
264     K. Sharifulin).
265 root 1.170
266 root 1.169 4.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
267 root 1.165 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
268 root 1.164 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
269     be delayed under some circumstances.
270 root 1.167 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
271 root 1.169 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
272     and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
273     - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
274 root 1.168 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
275 root 1.164 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
276    
277 root 1.163 4.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
278 elmex 1.162 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
279 root 1.163 assumption that all data could be written before read
280     (reported by Jim Razmus).
281 elmex 1.162
282 root 1.161 4.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
283 root 1.160 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
284     not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
285     implementation (also affected child watchers).
286 root 1.159 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
287    
288 root 1.158 4.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
289 root 1.159 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
290     on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
291 root 1.158 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
292    
293 root 1.157 4.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
294     - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
295     works.
296    
297 root 1.155 4.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
298 root 1.154 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
299     one watcher was registered for the same fd.
300 root 1.155 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
301     for AnyEvent::Handle.
302 root 1.156 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
303 root 1.153 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
304    
305 root 1.152 4.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
306 elmex 1.149 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
307 root 1.150 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
308     executing the guard block as warnings.
309 root 1.152 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
310 elmex 1.149
311 root 1.148 4.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
312 root 1.146 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
313     contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
314     microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
315 root 1.147 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
316     but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
317     case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
318     and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
319 root 1.145 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
320     when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
321     and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
322     enter an endless loop.
323     - correctly start reading again when the handle became
324     busy again after idling.
325 root 1.146 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
326     (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
327 root 1.145 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
328     (hopefully).
329 root 1.146 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
330     away any time.
331 root 1.145
332 root 1.144 4.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
333     - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
334     anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
335 root 1.143 - allow more options in on_error.
336 root 1.142
337 root 1.141 4.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
338 root 1.135 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
339     reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
340     v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
341 root 1.129 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
342 root 1.130 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
343     also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
344 root 1.134 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
345 root 1.133 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
346     rfc 2782.
347 root 1.137 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
348     - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
349 root 1.138 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
350     being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
351     could die. this has been fixed.
352     - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
353     - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
354 root 1.139 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
355     for resolver class.
356 root 1.140 - update version numbers in all modules.
357 root 1.129
358 root 1.128 4.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
359 root 1.123 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
360     which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
361     for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
362     AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
363 root 1.127 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
364 root 1.124 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.

443 root 1.79 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC

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

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

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

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

523 root 1.43 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
524     don't get fixed anytime soon).
525 root 1.42 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
526     (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
527     such strong limits).
528 root 1.41 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
529     - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
530     unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
531     any restrictions...).
532     - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
533 root 1.40
534 root 1.39 3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008

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

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

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