2 2
3TODO: - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
4 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
5 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
6 - sped up Tk timer handling.
7 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
8 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
9 - fix Qt timers without interval.
10 - avoid Qt zero-timeout specialcase, in old libqt's.
11
124.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
13 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
14 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
15 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
16
174.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
18 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
19 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
20 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
21 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
22
234.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
24 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
25 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
26 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
27 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
28 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
29 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
30 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
31 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
32 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
33 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
34 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
35
364.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
37 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
38 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
39 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
40 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
41 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
42 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
43 backend.
44 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
45
464.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
47 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
48 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
49 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
50 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
51 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
52 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
53
544.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
55 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
56 illegal.
57 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
58 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
59 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
60 by Adam Rosenstein).
61 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
62 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
63 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
64
654.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
66 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
67 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
68 the socket type.
69 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
70
714.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
72 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
73 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
74 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
75 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
76 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
77 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
78
794.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
80 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
81 unless one has been installed already.
82 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
83 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
84 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
85 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
86 client would first wait for some data by the server and
87 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
88 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
89 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
90 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
91 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
92 Rosenstein).
93 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
94 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
95 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
96 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
97 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
98 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
99 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
100 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
101 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
102 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
103 now, more to come, though.
104 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
105
1064.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
107 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
108 no trace events.
109 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
110 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
111 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
112 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
113 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
114 Time::HiRes).
115
1164.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
117 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
118 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
119
1204.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
121 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
122 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
123 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
124 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
125
1264.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
127 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
128 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
129 perls without resource leaks or worse).
130
1314.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
132 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
133 the callback.
134 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
135 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
136 eol marker.
137 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
138 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
139 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
140
1414.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
142 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
143 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
144 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
145 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
146 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
147
1484.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
149 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
150 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
151 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
152 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
153 unusable way.
154 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
155 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
156 K. Sharifulin).
157
1584.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
159 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
160 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
161 be delayed under some circumstances.
162 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
163 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
164 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
165 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
166 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
167 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
168
1694.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
170 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
171 assumption that all data could be written before read
172 (reported by Jim Razmus).
173
1744.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
175 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
176 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
177 implementation (also affected child watchers).
178 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
179
1804.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
181 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
182 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
183 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
184
1854.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
186 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
187 works.
188
1894.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
190 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
191 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
192 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
193 for AnyEvent::Handle.
194 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
195 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
196
1974.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
198 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
199 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
200 executing the guard block as warnings.
201 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
202
2034.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
204 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
205 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
206 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
207 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
208 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
209 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
210 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
211 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
212 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
213 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
214 enter an endless loop.
215 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
216 busy again after idling.
217 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
218 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
219 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
220 (hopefully).
221 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
222 away any time.
223
2244.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
225 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
226 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
227 - allow more options in on_error.
228
2294.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
230 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
231 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
232 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
233 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
234 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
235 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
236 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
237 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
238 rfc 2782.
239 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
240 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
241 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
242 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
243 could die. this has been fixed.
244 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
245 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
246 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
247 for resolver class.
248 - update version numbers in all modules.
249
2504.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
251 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
252 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
253 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
254 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
255 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
256 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
257 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
258 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
259 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
260 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
3 - added a a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle. 261 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
262 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
4 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle. 263 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
5 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle. 264 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
265 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
266 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
267 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
268 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
269 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
270 but EV also works around this).
271 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
272 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
273 vs. callback arguments.
274 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
