# 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 1.507 TODO: AE::logger
6     TODO: add debug/trace logging to some modules
7     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
8     and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
9     to higher log levels to print by default.
10 root 1.508 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
11 root 1.511 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
12     how that module sucks.
13 root 1.507 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
14 root 1.504 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
15     of 127.0.0.1).
16 root 1.507 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
17 root 1.513 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
18 root 1.514 - AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to.
19 root 1.505 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
20     intervals.
21 root 1.507 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
22 root 1.512 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
23     which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
24     delivery.
25 root 1.503 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
26 root 1.511 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
27 root 1.513 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
28     of the context as title.
29 root 1.509 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
30     to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
31     to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
32     attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
33     AnyEvent.
34 root 1.500
35 root 1.499 6.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
36 root 1.497 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
37     - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
38     *literally* means that string. sheesh.
39     - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
40     to work around.
41 root 1.498 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
42 root 1.497
43 root 1.496 6.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011
44 root 1.477 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
45     the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
46     and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
47     AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
48     AnyEvent::Socket.
49 root 1.454 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
50 root 1.455 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
51     methods.
52 root 1.475 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
53     AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
54 root 1.455 - DEPRECIATION: please change
55     "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
56     "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
57     in your programs, for future compatibility.
58 root 1.460 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
59 root 1.461 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
60 root 1.458 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
61     this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
62     for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
63     instead (reported by James Bromberger).
64 root 1.464 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
65 root 1.475 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
66     - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
67 root 1.487 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
68 root 1.463 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
69     a debug shell.
70     - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
71 root 1.464 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
72 root 1.488 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
73 root 1.508 /etc/hosts can be found.
74 root 1.486 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
75     configuration.
76     - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
77     PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
78 root 1.473 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
79 root 1.479 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications $_ by the callback
80     (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
81 root 1.459 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
82     Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
83 root 1.455 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
84     module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
85 root 1.450 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
86     errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
87     (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
88 root 1.488 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
89     supports /etc/hosts overrides.
90 root 1.453 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
91     and (newly introduced) in POE.
92     - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
93     if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
94 root 1.460 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
95 root 1.447 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
96     transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
97     (reported by Gerald Galster).
98 root 1.452 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
99     with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
100 root 1.453 do not support blocking waits.
101 root 1.459 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
102     the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
103 root 1.460 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
104     - add t/80_ssltext.t.
105 root 1.461 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
106 root 1.465 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
107 root 1.470 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
108     copies of AnyEvent::detect.
109 root 1.472 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
110 root 1.495 - suppress the idiotic warning inside POE by patching the POE::Kernel
111     run flags instead of asking the user to jump through contortions.
112 root 1.484 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
113 root 1.494 - replace PF_UNSPEC by 0, for good old minix.
114 root 1.446
115 root 1.476 6.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)
116    
117 root 1.446 5.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
118 root 1.445 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
119     due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
120 root 1.444 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
121    
122     5.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
123 root 1.446 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
124 root 1.443 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
125     object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
126 root 1.441 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
127     - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
128     uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
129 root 1.442 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
130     uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
131 root 1.441 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
132 root 1.442 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
133     apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
134     - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
135     apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
136 root 1.441
137 root 1.439 5.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
138 root 1.437 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
139     invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
140 root 1.436 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
141 root 1.435 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
142     documentation for caveats.
143 root 1.440 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
144     an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
145     AnyEvent::Handle).
146 root 1.438 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
147 root 1.439 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
148 root 1.434
149 root 1.432 5.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
150 root 1.427 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
151     issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
152     the availabilty of a default loop!
153 root 1.429 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
154 root 1.430 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
155 root 1.427 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
156 root 1.431 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
157 root 1.425 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
158     to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
159 root 1.426 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
160     half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
161 root 1.425
162 root 1.423 5.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
163     - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
164 root 1.415 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
165     max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
166 root 1.423 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
167 root 1.414 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
168 root 1.418 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.

174 root 1.421 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
175 root 1.422 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
176     minimal perl...).
177 root 1.414
178 root 1.413 5.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
179 root 1.408 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
180     actually used in tcp_server.
181 root 1.410 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
182     missing.
183 root 1.409 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
184 root 1.408 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
185     resulting in more informative error messages.
186 root 1.411 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
187 root 1.404 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
188 root 1.413 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
189     and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
190     of AnyEvent::TLS.
191 root 1.409 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
192     requested by Ron Isaacson.

195 root 1.412 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
196 root 1.409 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
197     undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
198 root 1.404
199 root 1.402 5.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
200 root 1.401 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
201    
202 root 1.400 5.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
203 root 1.398 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
204     when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
205     (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
206 root 1.397 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
207     clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
208 root 1.395 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
209 root 1.399 - better/more condvar examples.

213     time (found by Andy Grundman).
214    
215 root 1.392 5.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
216 root 1.389 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
217     returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
218     by Bas Denissen).
219 root 1.391 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
220 root 1.390 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
221     EV and Perl backends.
222     - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
223     backends.
224     - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
225     never documented nor universally supported).
226     - some more memory µ-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
227     code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
228 root 1.389
229 root 1.386 5.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
230 root 1.387 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
231     5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
232     so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
233 root 1.386
234 root 1.384 5.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
235 root 1.383 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause

237     ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
238 root 1.385 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
239 root 1.376 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
240 root 1.378 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
241     by lucky accident on win32.
242 root 1.377 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
243 root 1.379 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
244     did not fall back to built-in time properly.
245 root 1.381 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
246     - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
247     detection and eval.
248     - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
249 root 1.382 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
250 root 1.388 (same algorithm as EV).
251 root 1.385 - update unicode idna mapping table.
252 root 1.376
253 root 1.375 5.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
254     - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
255     you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
256     just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
257 root 1.374 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
258    
259 root 1.373 5.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
260 root 1.372 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
261 root 1.373 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
262     idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
263 root 1.366 - provide $AE::VERSION.
264 root 1.367 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
265 root 1.366
266 root 1.365 5.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
267 root 1.358 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
268     diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
269 root 1.359 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
270     when passing scalar data to extensions).
271 root 1.360 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
272 root 1.361 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
273 root 1.362 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
274     (John Beppu).
275 root 1.364 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
276 root 1.363 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
277     we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
278     fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
279 root 1.358
280 root 1.357 5.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
281 root 1.356 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
282 root 1.355 (spotted by David Friedland).
283 root 1.356 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
284 root 1.355 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
285     unless you rip out everything but the core).
286 root 1.357 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
287     uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
288 root 1.355
289 root 1.354 5.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
290     - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
291     (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
292 root 1.353 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
293     newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
294     sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
295    
296 root 1.352 5.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
297 root 1.350 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
298     (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
299 root 1.351 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
300     (analysed by elmex).
301 root 1.350
302 root 1.349 5.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
303 root 1.347 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
304     and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
305     package names (the facility was mostly abused).
306 root 1.349 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
307     AnyEvent::Handle.
308 root 1.345 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
309 root 1.346 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
310 root 1.349 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
311     support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
312 root 1.345
313 root 1.344 5.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
314 root 1.343 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
315     use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
316     by Michael S. Fischer).
317     - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
318 root 1.342 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
319     with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
320     - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
321     by default.
322 root 1.343 - fix some prototypes.
323 root 1.344 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
324 root 1.343 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
325 root 1.342
326 root 1.339 5.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
327 root 1.338 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
328     using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
329 root 1.339 - port to broken win32 perls.
330 root 1.338
331 root 1.337 5.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
332     - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
333     kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
334     sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
335     the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
336     OSes as well).
337    
338 root 1.336 5.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
339 elmex 1.335 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
340 root 1.336 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
341     to reduce dependency on JSON.
342 elmex 1.335
343 root 1.334 5.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
344 root 1.333 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
345     one (was broken since 4.91).
