1 root 1.1 Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2    
3 root 1.410 TODO: document TCP_*** constants
4 root 1.517 TODO: add debug/trace logging to some modules
5 root 1.467
6 root 1.523 6.13 Thu Jan 12 07:27:01 CET 2012
7     - AnyEvent::Util::fork_call checked for POSIX availability in the wrong way,
8     causing it to fail if POSIX wasn't loaded already (analysed by Rock Power).
9 root 1.522 - AnyEvent::Handle::push_read (line => did pass $1 directly, so
10     regex-matching inside the callback would change the parameter, despite
11     $1 being dynamically scoped per-block. this perl bug is now being
12     worked around (testcase by Cindy Wang).
13    
14 root 1.521 6.12 Mon Dec 12 13:21:10 CET 2011
15     - $! was clobbered by subsequent calls in tcp_connect, due to
16     the postpone not saving/restoring it (analyzed by Richard Garnish).
17    
18 root 1.520 6.11 Tue Nov 22 10:36:05 CET 2011
19 root 1.519 - Tk cannot create windows when tainted unless you set a title, so
20     set a dummy title for AnyEvent's dummy mainwindow. How dummy.
21 root 1.518 - escape any nonprintable/nonascii characters when stringifying
22     backtraces.
23 root 1.519 - log the reason loading an interface module fails to load at level debug.
24 root 1.518
25 root 1.517 6.1 Tue Oct 4 19:44:30 CEST 2011
26 root 1.507 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
27     and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
28     to higher log levels to print by default.
29 root 1.508 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
30 root 1.511 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
31     how that module sucks.
32 root 1.507 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
33 root 1.504 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
34     of 127.0.0.1).
35 root 1.507 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
36 root 1.513 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
37 root 1.514 - AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to.
38 root 1.505 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
39     intervals.
40 root 1.507 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
41 root 1.512 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
42     which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
43     delivery.
44 root 1.503 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
45 root 1.511 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
46 root 1.513 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
47     of the context as title.
48 root 1.516 - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback
49     died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging...
50 root 1.509 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
51     to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
52     to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
53     attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
54     AnyEvent.
55 root 1.500
56 root 1.499 6.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
57 root 1.497 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
58     - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
59     *literally* means that string. sheesh.
60     - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
61     to work around.
62 root 1.498 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
63 root 1.497
64 root 1.496 6.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011
65 root 1.477 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
66     the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
67     and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
68     AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
69     AnyEvent::Socket.
70 root 1.454 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
71 root 1.455 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
72     methods.
73 root 1.475 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
74     AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
75 root 1.455 - DEPRECIATION: please change
76     "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
77     "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
78     in your programs, for future compatibility.
79 root 1.460 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
80 root 1.461 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
81 root 1.458 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
82     this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
83     for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
84     instead (reported by James Bromberger).
85 root 1.464 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
86 root 1.475 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
87     - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
88 root 1.487 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
89 root 1.463 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
90     a debug shell.
91     - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
92 root 1.464 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
93 root 1.488 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
94 root 1.508 /etc/hosts can be found.
95 root 1.486 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
96     configuration.
97     - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
98     PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
99 root 1.473 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
100 root 1.479 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications $_ by the callback
101     (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
102 root 1.459 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
103     Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
104 root 1.455 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
105     module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
106 root 1.450 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
107     errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
108     (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
109 root 1.488 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
110     supports /etc/hosts overrides.
111 root 1.453 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
112     and (newly introduced) in POE.
113     - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
114     if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
115 root 1.460 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
116 root 1.447 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
117     transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
118     (reported by Gerald Galster).
119 root 1.452 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
120     with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
121 root 1.453 do not support blocking waits.
122 root 1.459 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
123     the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
124 root 1.460 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
125     - add t/80_ssltext.t.
126 root 1.461 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
127 root 1.465 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
128 root 1.470 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
129     copies of AnyEvent::detect.
130 root 1.472 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
131 root 1.495 - suppress the idiotic warning inside POE by patching the POE::Kernel
132     run flags instead of asking the user to jump through contortions.
133 root 1.484 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
134 root 1.494 - replace PF_UNSPEC by 0, for good old minix.
135 root 1.446
136 root 1.476 6.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)
137    
138 root 1.446 5.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
139 root 1.445 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
140     due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
141 root 1.444 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
142    
143     5.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
144 root 1.446 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
145 root 1.443 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
146     object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
147 root 1.441 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
148     - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
149     uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
150 root 1.442 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
151     uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
152 root 1.441 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
153 root 1.442 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
154     apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
155     - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
156     apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
157 root 1.441
158 root 1.439 5.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
159 root 1.437 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
160     invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
161 root 1.436 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
162 root 1.435 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
163     documentation for caveats.
164 root 1.440 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
165     an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
166     AnyEvent::Handle).
167 root 1.438 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
168 root 1.439 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
169 root 1.434
170 root 1.432 5.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
171 root 1.427 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
172     issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
173     the availabilty of a default loop!
174 root 1.429 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
175 root 1.430 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
176 root 1.427 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
177 root 1.431 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
178 root 1.425 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
179     to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
180 root 1.426 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
181     half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
182 root 1.425
183 root 1.423 5.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
184     - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
185 root 1.415 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
186     max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
187 root 1.423 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
188 root 1.414 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
189 root 1.418 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
190 root 1.423 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.

193 root 1.420 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
194     as part of the perl core.
195 root 1.421 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
196 root 1.422 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
197     minimal perl...).
198 root 1.414
199 root 1.413 5.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
200 root 1.408 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
201     actually used in tcp_server.
202 root 1.410 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
203     missing.
204 root 1.409 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
205 root 1.408 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
206     resulting in more informative error messages.
207 root 1.411 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
208 root 1.404 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
209 root 1.413 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
210     and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
211     of AnyEvent::TLS.
212 root 1.409 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
213     requested by Ron Isaacson.

216 root 1.412 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
217 root 1.409 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
218     undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
219 root 1.404
220 root 1.402 5.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
221 root 1.401 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
222    
223 root 1.400 5.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
224 root 1.398 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
225     when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
226     (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
227 root 1.397 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
228     clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
229 root 1.395 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
230 root 1.399 - better/more condvar examples.
231 root 1.395
232 root 1.394 5.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
233 root 1.393 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
234     time (found by Andy Grundman).
235    
236 root 1.392 5.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
237 root 1.389 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
238     returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
239     by Bas Denissen).
240 root 1.391 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
241 root 1.390 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
242     EV and Perl backends.
243     - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
244     backends.
245     - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
246     never documented nor universally supported).
247     - some more memory µ-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
248     code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
249 root 1.389
250 root 1.386 5.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
251 root 1.387 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
252     5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
253     so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
254 root 1.386
255 root 1.384 5.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
256 root 1.383 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
257     a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
258     ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
259 root 1.385 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
260 root 1.376 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
261 root 1.378 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
262     by lucky accident on win32.
263 root 1.377 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
264 root 1.379 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
265     did not fall back to built-in time properly.
266 root 1.381 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
267     - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
268     detection and eval.
269     - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
270 root 1.382 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
271 root 1.388 (same algorithm as EV).
272 root 1.385 - update unicode idna mapping table.
273 root 1.376
274 root 1.375 5.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
275     - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
276     you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
277     just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
278 root 1.374 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
279    
280 root 1.373 5.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009

283     idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
284 root 1.366 - provide $AE::VERSION.
285 root 1.367 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
286 root 1.366
287 root 1.365 5.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
288 root 1.358 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
289     diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
290 root 1.359 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
291     when passing scalar data to extensions).
292 root 1.360 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
293 root 1.361 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
294 root 1.362 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
295     (John Beppu).
296 root 1.364 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
297 root 1.363 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
298     we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
299     fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
300 root 1.358
301 root 1.357 5.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
302 root 1.356 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
303 root 1.355 (spotted by David Friedland).
304 root 1.356 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
305 root 1.355 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
306     unless you rip out everything but the core).
307 root 1.357 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
308     uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
309 root 1.355
310 root 1.354 5.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
311     - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
312     (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
313 root 1.353 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
314     newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
315     sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
316    
317 root 1.352 5.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
318 root 1.350 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
319     (reported by Torsten Foertsch).

321     (analysed by elmex).
322 root 1.350
323 root 1.349 5.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
324 root 1.347 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
325     and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
326     package names (the facility was mostly abused).
327 root 1.349 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
328     AnyEvent::Handle.
329 root 1.345 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
330 root 1.346 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
331 root 1.349 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
332     support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
333 root 1.345
334 root 1.344 5.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
335 root 1.343 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
336     use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
337     by Michael S. Fischer).
338     - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
339 root 1.342 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
