# 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 1.506 TODO: log message level redistribute?
6 root 1.501 TOOD: stop internals abusing
7 root 1.503 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "3" (critical
8     and above), and some emssages inside AnyEvent have bene elevated
9     to critical, so.
10 root 1.504 - add google public ipv6 dns as flalback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
11     support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
12     of 127.0.0.1).
13 root 1.503 - give guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
14 root 1.505 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
15     intervals.
16 root 1.500 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx.
17 root 1.503 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
18 root 1.500
19 root 1.499 6.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
20 root 1.497 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
21     - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
22     *literally* means that string. sheesh.
23     - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
24     to work around.
25 root 1.498 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
26 root 1.497
27 root 1.496 6.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011
28 root 1.477 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
29     the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
30     and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
31     AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
32     AnyEvent::Socket.
33 root 1.454 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
34 root 1.455 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
35     methods.
36 root 1.475 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
37     AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
38 root 1.455 - DEPRECIATION: please change
39     "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
40     "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
41     in your programs, for future compatibility.
42 root 1.460 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
43 root 1.461 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
44 root 1.458 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
45     this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
46     for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
47     instead (reported by James Bromberger).
48 root 1.464 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
49 root 1.475 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
50     - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
51 root 1.487 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
52 root 1.463 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
53     a debug shell.
54     - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
55 root 1.464 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
56 root 1.488 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
57     F</etc/hosts> can be found.
58 root 1.486 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
59     configuration.
60     - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
61     PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
62 root 1.473 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
63 root 1.479 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications $_ by the callback
64     (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
65 root 1.459 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
66     Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
67 root 1.455 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
68     module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
69 root 1.450 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
70     errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
71     (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
72 root 1.488 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
73     supports /etc/hosts overrides.
74 root 1.453 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
75     and (newly introduced) in POE.
76     - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
77     if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
78 root 1.460 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
79 root 1.447 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
80     transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
81     (reported by Gerald Galster).
82 root 1.452 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
83     with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
84 root 1.453 do not support blocking waits.
85 root 1.459 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
86     the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
87 root 1.460 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
88     - add t/80_ssltext.t.
89 root 1.461 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
90 root 1.465 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
91 root 1.470 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
92     copies of AnyEvent::detect.
93 root 1.472 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
94 root 1.495 - suppress the idiotic warning inside POE by patching the POE::Kernel
95     run flags instead of asking the user to jump through contortions.
96 root 1.484 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
97 root 1.494 - replace PF_UNSPEC by 0, for good old minix.
98 root 1.446
99 root 1.476 6.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)
100    
101 root 1.446 5.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
102 root 1.445 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
103     due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
104 root 1.444 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
105    
106     5.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
107 root 1.446 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
108 root 1.443 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
109     object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
110 root 1.441 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
111     - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
112     uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
113 root 1.442 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
114     uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
115 root 1.441 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
116 root 1.442 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
117     apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
118     - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
119     apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
120 root 1.441
121 root 1.439 5.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
122 root 1.437 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
123     invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
124 root 1.436 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
125 root 1.435 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
126     documentation for caveats.
127 root 1.440 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
128     an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
129     AnyEvent::Handle).
130 root 1.438 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
131 root 1.439 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
132 root 1.434
133 root 1.432 5.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
134 root 1.427 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
135     issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
136     the availabilty of a default loop!
137 root 1.429 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
138 root 1.430 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
139 root 1.427 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
140 root 1.431 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
141 root 1.425 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
142     to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
143 root 1.426 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
144     half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
145 root 1.425
146 root 1.423 5.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
147     - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
148 root 1.415 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
149     max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
150 root 1.423 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
151 root 1.414 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
152 root 1.418 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
153 root 1.423 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.

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

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

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

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

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