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

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

196 root 1.412 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
197 root 1.409 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
198     undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
199 root 1.404
200 root 1.402 5.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
201 root 1.401 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
202    
203 root 1.400 5.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
204 root 1.398 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
205     when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
206     (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
207 root 1.397 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
208     clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
209 root 1.395 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
210 root 1.399 - better/more condvar examples.
211 root 1.395
212 root 1.394 5.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
213 root 1.393 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
214     time (found by Andy Grundman).
215    
216 root 1.392 5.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
217 root 1.389 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
218     returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
219     by Bas Denissen).
220 root 1.391 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
221 root 1.390 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
222     EV and Perl backends.
223     - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
224     backends.
225     - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
226     never documented nor universally supported).
227     - some more memory µ-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
228     code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
229 root 1.389
230 root 1.386 5.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
231 root 1.387 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
232     5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
233     so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
234 root 1.386
235 root 1.384 5.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
236 root 1.383 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
237     a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
238     ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
239 root 1.385 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
240 root 1.376 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
241 root 1.378 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
242     by lucky accident on win32.
243 root 1.377 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
244 root 1.379 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
245     did not fall back to built-in time properly.
246 root 1.381 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
247     - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
248     detection and eval.
249     - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
250 root 1.382 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
251 root 1.388 (same algorithm as EV).
252 root 1.385 - update unicode idna mapping table.
253 root 1.376
254 root 1.375 5.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
255     - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
256     you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
257     just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
258 root 1.374 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
259    
260 root 1.373 5.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
261 root 1.372 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
262 root 1.373 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
263     idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
264 root 1.366 - provide $AE::VERSION.
265 root 1.367 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
266 root 1.366
267 root 1.365 5.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
268 root 1.358 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
269     diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
270 root 1.359 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
271     when passing scalar data to extensions).
272 root 1.360 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
273 root 1.361 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
274 root 1.362 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
275     (John Beppu).
276 root 1.364 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
277 root 1.363 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
278     we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
279     fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
280 root 1.358
281 root 1.357 5.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
282 root 1.356 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
283 root 1.355 (spotted by David Friedland).
284 root 1.356 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
285 root 1.355 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
286     unless you rip out everything but the core).
287 root 1.357 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
288     uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
289 root 1.355
290 root 1.354 5.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
291     - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
292     (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
293 root 1.353 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
294     newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
295     sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
296    
297 root 1.352 5.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
298 root 1.350 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
299     (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
300 root 1.351 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
301     (analysed by elmex).
302 root 1.350
303 root 1.349 5.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
304 root 1.347 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
305     and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
306     package names (the facility was mostly abused).
307 root 1.349 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
308     AnyEvent::Handle.
309 root 1.345 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
310 root 1.346 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
311 root 1.349 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
312     support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
313 root 1.345
314 root 1.344 5.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
315 root 1.343 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
316     use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
317     by Michael S. Fischer).
318     - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
319 root 1.342 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
320     with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
321     - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
322     by default.
323 root 1.343 - fix some prototypes.
324 root 1.344 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
325 root 1.343 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
326 root 1.342
327 root 1.339 5.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
328 root 1.338 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
329     using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
330 root 1.339 - port to broken win32 perls.
331 root 1.338
332 root 1.337 5.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
333     - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
334     kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
335     sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
336     the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
337     OSes as well).
338    
339 root 1.336 5.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
340 elmex 1.335 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
341 root 1.336 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
342     to reduce dependency on JSON.
343 elmex 1.335
344 root 1.334 5.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
