# User Rev Content
1 root 1.1 Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2    
3 root 1.410 TODO: document TCP_*** constants
4 root 1.467
5 root 1.504 TODO: ae::strict, regulalry check for invalid fds?
6 root 1.501 TOOD: stop internals abusing
7     TODO: add google ipv6 public dns
8 root 1.503 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "3" (critical
9     and above), and some emssages inside AnyEvent have bene elevated
10     to critical, so.
11 root 1.504 - add google public ipv6 dns as flalback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
12     support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
13     of 127.0.0.1).
14 root 1.503 - give guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
15 root 1.500 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx.
16 root 1.503 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
17 root 1.500
18 root 1.499 6.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
19 root 1.497 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
20     - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
21     *literally* means that string. sheesh.
22     - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
23     to work around.
24 root 1.498 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
25 root 1.497
26 root 1.496 6.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011
27 root 1.477 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
28     the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
29     and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
30     AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
31     AnyEvent::Socket.
32 root 1.454 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
33 root 1.455 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
34     methods.
35 root 1.475 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
36     AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
37 root 1.455 - DEPRECIATION: please change
38     "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
39     "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
40     in your programs, for future compatibility.
41 root 1.460 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
42 root 1.461 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
43 root 1.458 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
44     this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
45     for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
46     instead (reported by James Bromberger).
47 root 1.464 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
48 root 1.475 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
49     - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
50 root 1.487 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
51 root 1.463 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
52     a debug shell.
53     - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
54 root 1.464 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
55 root 1.488 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
56     F</etc/hosts> can be found.
57 root 1.486 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
58     configuration.
59     - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
60     PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
61 root 1.473 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
62 root 1.479 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications $_ by the callback
63     (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
64 root 1.459 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
65     Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
66 root 1.455 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
67     module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
68 root 1.450 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
69     errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
70     (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
71 root 1.488 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
72     supports /etc/hosts overrides.
73 root 1.453 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
74     and (newly introduced) in POE.
75     - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
76     if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
77 root 1.460 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
78 root 1.447 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
79     transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
80     (reported by Gerald Galster).
81 root 1.452 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
82     with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
83 root 1.453 do not support blocking waits.
84 root 1.459 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
85     the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
86 root 1.460 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
87     - add t/80_ssltext.t.
88 root 1.461 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
89 root 1.465 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
90 root 1.470 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
91     copies of AnyEvent::detect.
92 root 1.472 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
93 root 1.495 - suppress the idiotic warning inside POE by patching the POE::Kernel
94     run flags instead of asking the user to jump through contortions.
95 root 1.484 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
96 root 1.494 - replace PF_UNSPEC by 0, for good old minix.
97 root 1.446
98 root 1.476 6.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)
99    
100 root 1.446 5.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
101 root 1.445 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
102     due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
103 root 1.444 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
104    
105     5.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
106 root 1.446 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
107 root 1.443 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
108     object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
109 root 1.441 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
110     - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
111     uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
112 root 1.442 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
113     uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
114 root 1.441 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
115 root 1.442 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
116     apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
117     - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
118     apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
119 root 1.441
120 root 1.439 5.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
121 root 1.437 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
122     invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
123 root 1.436 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
124 root 1.435 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
125     documentation for caveats.
126 root 1.440 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
127     an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
128     AnyEvent::Handle).
129 root 1.438 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
130 root 1.439 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
131 root 1.434
132 root 1.432 5.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
133 root 1.427 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
134     issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
135     the availabilty of a default loop!
136 root 1.429 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
137 root 1.430 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
138 root 1.427 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
139 root 1.431 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
140 root 1.425 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
141     to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
142 root 1.426 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
143     half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
144 root 1.425
145 root 1.423 5.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
146     - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
147 root 1.415 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
148     max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
149 root 1.423 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
150 root 1.414 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
151 root 1.418 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
152 root 1.423 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.

156     as part of the perl core.
157 root 1.421 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
158 root 1.422 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
159     minimal perl...).
160 root 1.414
161 root 1.413 5.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
162 root 1.408 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
163     actually used in tcp_server.
164 root 1.410 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
165     missing.
166 root 1.409 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
167 root 1.408 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
168     resulting in more informative error messages.
169 root 1.411 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
170 root 1.404 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
171 root 1.413 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
172     and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
173     of AnyEvent::TLS.
174 root 1.409 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as

181 root 1.404
182 root 1.402 5.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
183 root 1.401 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
184    
185 root 1.400 5.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
186 root 1.398 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
187     when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
188     (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
189 root 1.397 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
190     clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
191 root 1.395 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
192 root 1.399 - better/more condvar examples.

197    
198 root 1.392 5.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
199 root 1.389 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
200     returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
201     by Bas Denissen).
202 root 1.391 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
203 root 1.390 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
204     EV and Perl backends.
205     - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
206     backends.
207     - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
208     never documented nor universally supported).
209     - some more memory µ-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
210     code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
211 root 1.389
212 root 1.386 5.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
213 root 1.387 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
214     5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
215     so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
216 root 1.386
217 root 1.384 5.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
218 root 1.383 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
219     a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
220     ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
221 root 1.385 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
222 root 1.376 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
223 root 1.378 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
224     by lucky accident on win32.
225 root 1.377 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
226 root 1.379 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
227     did not fall back to built-in time properly.
228 root 1.381 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
229     - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
230     detection and eval.
231     - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
232 root 1.382 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
233 root 1.388 (same algorithm as EV).
234 root 1.385 - update unicode idna mapping table.
235 root 1.376
236 root 1.375 5.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
237     - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
238     you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
239     just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
240 root 1.374 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
241    
242 root 1.373 5.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
243 root 1.372 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.

245     idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
246 root 1.366 - provide $AE::VERSION.
247 root 1.367 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
248 root 1.366
249 root 1.365 5.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
250 root 1.358 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
251     diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
252 root 1.359 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
253     when passing scalar data to extensions).
254 root 1.360 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
255 root 1.361 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
256 root 1.362 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
257     (John Beppu).
258 root 1.364 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
259 root 1.363 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
260     we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
261     fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
262 root 1.358
263 root 1.357 5.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
264 root 1.356 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
265 root 1.355 (spotted by David Friedland).
266 root 1.356 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
267 root 1.355 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
268     unless you rip out everything but the core).
269 root 1.357 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
270     uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
271 root 1.355
272 root 1.354 5.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
273     - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
274     (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
275 root 1.353 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
276     newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
277     sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
278    
279 root 1.352 5.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
280 root 1.350 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
281     (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
282 root 1.351 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
283     (analysed by elmex).
284 root 1.350
285 root 1.349 5.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
286 root 1.347 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
287     and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
288     package names (the facility was mostly abused).
289 root 1.349 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
290     AnyEvent::Handle.
291 root 1.345 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
292 root 1.346 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
293 root 1.349 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
294     support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
295 root 1.345
296 root 1.344 5.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
297 root 1.343 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
298     use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
299     by Michael S. Fischer).
300     - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
301 root 1.342 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
302     with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
303     - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
304     by default.
305 root 1.343 - fix some prototypes.
306 root 1.344 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
307 root 1.343 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
308 root 1.342
309 root 1.339 5.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
310 root 1.338 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
311     using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
312 root 1.339 - port to broken win32 perls.
313 root 1.338
314 root 1.337 5.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
315     - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
316     kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
317     sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
318     the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
319     OSes as well).
320    
321 root 1.336 5.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
322 elmex 1.335 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
323 root 1.336 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
324     to reduce dependency on JSON.
325 elmex 1.335
326 root 1.334 5.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
327 root 1.333 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
328     one (was broken since 4.91).
329     - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
330     when retrying a tcp_connect.
331     - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
332 elmex 1.332 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
333    
334 root 1.330 5.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
335     - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
336    
337 root 1.329 5.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
338     - officially introduce and document the AE API.
339 root 1.323 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
340     in AnyEvent::Handle.
341 root 1.324 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
342     settings.
343 root 1.326 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
344     runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
345     exporting the probe function).
346 root 1.328 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
347     code to work around it's watcher limits.

916 root 1.53 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
917 root 1.60 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage

937     - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
938     strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
939     - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
940     better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
