2 2
3 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
4 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
5 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
6 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
7 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
8 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.

104.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
11 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
12 illegal.
13 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
14 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
15 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
16 by Adam Rosenstein).
17 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
18 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
19 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
20
214.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
22 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
23 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
24 the socket type.
25 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
26
274.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
28 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
29 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
30 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
31 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
32 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
33 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
34
354.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
36 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
37 unless one has been installed already.
38 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
39 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
40 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
41 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
42 client would first wait for some data by the server and
43 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
44 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
45 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
46 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
47 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
48 Rosenstein).
49 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
50 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
51 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
52 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
53 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
54 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
55 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
56 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
57 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
58 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
59 now, more to come, though.
60 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
61
624.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
63 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
64 no trace events.
65 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
66 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
67 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
68 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
69 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
70 Time::HiRes).
71
724.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
73 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
74 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
75
764.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
77 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
78 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
79 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
80 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
81
824.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
83 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
84 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
85 perls without resource leaks or worse).
86
874.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
88 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
89 the callback.
90 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
91 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
92 eol marker.
93 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
94 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
95 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
96
974.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
98 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
99 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
100 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
101 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
102 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
103
1044.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
105 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
106 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
107 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
108 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
109 unusable way.
110 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
111 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
112 K. Sharifulin).
113
1144.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
115 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
116 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
117 be delayed under some circumstances.
118 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
119 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
120 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
121 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
122 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
123 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
124
1254.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
126 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
127 assumption that all data could be written before read
128 (reported by Jim Razmus).
129
1304.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
131 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
132 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
133 implementation (also affected child watchers).
134 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
135
1364.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
137 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
138 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
139 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
140
1414.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
142 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
143 works.
144
1454.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
146 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
147 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
148 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
149 for AnyEvent::Handle.
150 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
151 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
152
1534.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
154 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
155 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
156 executing the guard block as warnings.
157 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
158
1594.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
160 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
161 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
162 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
163 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
164 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
165 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
166 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
167 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
168 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
169 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
170 enter an endless loop.
171 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
172 busy again after idling.
173 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
174 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
175 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
176 (hopefully).
177 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
178 away any time.
179
1804.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
181 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
182 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
183 - allow more options in on_error.
184
1854.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
186 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
187 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
188 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
189 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
190 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
191 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
192 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
193 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
194 rfc 2782.
195 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
196 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
197 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
198 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
199 could die. this has been fixed.
200 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
201 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
202 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
203 for resolver class.
204 - update version numbers in all modules.
205
2064.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
207 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
208 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
209 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
210 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
211 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
212 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
213 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
214 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
215 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
216 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
217 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.

219 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
220 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
221 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
222 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
223 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
224 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
225 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
226 but EV also works around this).
227 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
228 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
229 vs. callback arguments.
230 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
231
2324.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
233 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
234 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
235 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
236 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
