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

171 root 1.420 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
172     as part of the perl core.
173 root 1.421 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
174 root 1.422 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
175     minimal perl...).
176 root 1.414
177 root 1.413 5.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
178 root 1.408 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
179     actually used in tcp_server.
180 root 1.410 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
181     missing.
182 root 1.409 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
183 root 1.408 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
184     resulting in more informative error messages.
185 root 1.411 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
186 root 1.404 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
187 root 1.413 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
188     and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
189     of AnyEvent::TLS.
190 root 1.409 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
191     requested by Ron Isaacson.

194 root 1.412 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
195 root 1.409 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
196     undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
197 root 1.404
198 root 1.402 5.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
199 root 1.401 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
200    
201 root 1.400 5.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
202 root 1.398 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
203     when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
204     (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
205 root 1.397 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
206     clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
207 root 1.395 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
208 root 1.399 - better/more condvar examples.
209 root 1.395
210 root 1.394 5.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010

212     time (found by Andy Grundman).
213    
214 root 1.392 5.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
215 root 1.389 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
216     returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
217     by Bas Denissen).
218 root 1.391 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
219 root 1.390 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
220     EV and Perl backends.
221     - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
222     backends.
223     - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
224     never documented nor universally supported).
225     - some more memory µ-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
226     code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
227 root 1.389
228 root 1.386 5.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
229 root 1.387 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
230     5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
231     so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
232 root 1.386
233 root 1.384 5.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
234 root 1.383 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
235     a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
236     ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
237 root 1.385 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
238 root 1.376 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
239 root 1.378 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
240     by lucky accident on win32.
241 root 1.377 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
242 root 1.379 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
243     did not fall back to built-in time properly.
244 root 1.381 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
245     - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
246     detection and eval.
247     - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
248 root 1.382 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
249 root 1.388 (same algorithm as EV).
250 root 1.385 - update unicode idna mapping table.
251 root 1.376
252 root 1.375 5.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
253     - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
254     you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
255     just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
256 root 1.374 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
257    
258 root 1.373 5.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
259 root 1.372 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
260 root 1.373 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
261     idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
262 root 1.366 - provide $AE::VERSION.
263 root 1.367 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
264 root 1.366
265 root 1.365 5.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
266 root 1.358 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
267     diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
268 root 1.359 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
269     when passing scalar data to extensions).
270 root 1.360 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
271 root 1.361 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
272 root 1.362 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
273     (John Beppu).
274 root 1.364 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
275 root 1.363 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
276     we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
277     fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
278 root 1.358
279 root 1.357 5.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
280 root 1.356 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
281 root 1.355 (spotted by David Friedland).
282 root 1.356 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
283 root 1.355 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
284     unless you rip out everything but the core).
285 root 1.357 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
286     uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
287 root 1.355
288 root 1.354 5.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
289     - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
290     (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
291 root 1.353 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
292     newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
293     sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
294    
295 root 1.352 5.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
296 root 1.350 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
297     (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
298 root 1.351 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
299     (analysed by elmex).
300 root 1.350
301 root 1.349 5.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
302 root 1.347 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
303     and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
304     package names (the facility was mostly abused).
305 root 1.349 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
306     AnyEvent::Handle.
307 root 1.345 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
308 root 1.346 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
309 root 1.349 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
310     support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
311 root 1.345
312 root 1.344 5.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
313 root 1.343 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
314     use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
315     by Michael S. Fischer).
316     - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
317 root 1.342 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
318     with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
319     - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
320     by default.
321 root 1.343 - fix some prototypes.
322 root 1.344 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
323 root 1.343 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
324 root 1.342
325 root 1.339 5.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
326 root 1.338 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
327     using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
328 root 1.339 - port to broken win32 perls.
329 root 1.338
330 root 1.337 5.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
331     - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
332     kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
333     sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
334     the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
335     OSes as well).
336    
337 root 1.336 5.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
338 elmex 1.335 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
339 root 1.336 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
340     to reduce dependency on JSON.
341 elmex 1.335
342 root 1.334 5.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
343 root 1.333 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
344     one (was broken since 4.91).
345     - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
