2 2
3TODO: document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER
4TODO: maybe remove orderign description and make this a private feature?
5TODO: anyevenmt_read_type for unshift_read
6TODO: condvar->new method is documented and should be there.
7TODO: http://github.com/sanko/net-bittorrent/commit/e1d06941d7217011f5f06ce7152012d5e1b44b9a
8TODO: check for -w? somehow?
9TODO: _start might call on_error with ETIMEDOUT??
10AnyEvent::Handle uncaught error: Connection timed out at
11 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/AnyEvent/HTTP.pm line 473
12 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
13 actually used in tcp_server.
14 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
15 resulting in more informative error messages.
16 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
17 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
18
195.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
20 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
21
225.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
23 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
24 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
25 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
26 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
27 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
28 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
29 - better/more condvar examples.
30
315.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
32 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
33 time (found by Andy Grundman).
34
355.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
36 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
37 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
38 by Bas Denissen).
39 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
40 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
41 EV and Perl backends.
42 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
43 backends.
44 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
45 never documented nor universally supported).
46 - some more memory µ-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
47 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
48
495.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
50 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
51 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
52 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
53
545.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
55 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
56 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
57 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
58 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
59 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
60 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
61 by lucky accident on win32.
62 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
63 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
64 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
65 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
66 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
67 detection and eval.
68 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
69 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
70 (same algorithm as EV).
71 - update unicode idna mapping table.
72
735.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
74 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
75 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
76 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
77 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
78
795.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
80 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
81 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
82 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
83 - provide $AE::VERSION.
84 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
85
865.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
87 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
88 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
89 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
90 when passing scalar data to extensions).
91 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
92 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
93 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
94 (John Beppu).
95 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
96 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
97 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
98 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
99
1005.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
101 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
102 (spotted by David Friedland).
103 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
104 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
105 unless you rip out everything but the core).
106 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
107 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
108
1095.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
110 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
111 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
112 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
113 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
114 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
115
1165.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
117 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
118 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
119 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
120 (analysed by elmex).
121
1225.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
123 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
124 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
125 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
126 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
127 AnyEvent::Handle.
128 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
129 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
130 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
131 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
132
1335.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
134 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
135 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
136 by Michael S. Fischer).
137 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
138 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
139 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
140 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
141 by default.
142 - fix some prototypes.
143 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
144 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
145
1465.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
147 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
148 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
149 - port to broken win32 perls.
150
1515.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
152 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
153 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
154 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
155 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
156 OSes as well).
157
1585.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
159 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
160 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
161 to reduce dependency on JSON.
162
1635.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
164 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
165 one (was broken since 4.91).
166 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
167 when retrying a tcp_connect.
168 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
169 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
170
1715.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
172 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
173
1745.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
175 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
176 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
177 in AnyEvent::Handle.
178 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
179 settings.
180 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
181 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
182 exporting the probe function).
183 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
184 code to work around it's watcher limits.
185 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
186 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
187 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
188 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
189 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
190
1914.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
192 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
193 already contains some TLS handshake.
194 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
195 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
196 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
197 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
198 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
199
2004.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
201 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
202 a negative value, so avoid that.
203 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
204 after the condition is already signalled.
205 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
206 data.
207 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
208 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
209 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
210 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
211 any issues).
212 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
213 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
214 by name (not name or number).
215 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
216 only compiling signal code when necessary.
217 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
218 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
219 said future/alternative API.
220 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
221
2224.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
223 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
224 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
225 (analysed by elmex).
226
2274.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
228 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
229 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
230 for errors after every push_write etc.
231 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
232 platforms.
233
2344.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
235 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
236 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
237 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
238 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
239 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
240 tutorial accordingly.
241 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
242
2434.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
244 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
245 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
246 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
247 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
248 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
249 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
250 in IO::Async.
251
2524.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
253 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
254 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
255 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
256 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
257 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
258 documentation.
259 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
260 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
261 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
262 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
263 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
264 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
265
2664.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
267 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
268 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
269 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
270 this trap.
271 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
272 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
273 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
274 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
275 on_read callbacks.
276 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
277
2784.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
279 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
280 callbacks.
281 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
282 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
283 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
284 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
285 Event::Lib.
286 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
287 to rarely fail.
288
2894.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
290 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
291 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
292 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
293 in AnyEvent->io.
294 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
295 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
296 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
297 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
298 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
299 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
300 portable_socketpair.
301 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
302 YMMV.
303
3044.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
305 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
306 uppercase targets.
307 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
308 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
309 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
310 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
311 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
312 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
313 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
314 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
315 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
316 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
317 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
318 in the common case.
319 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
320 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
321 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
322 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
323 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
324 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
325 from the constructor.
326 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
327 then fall back to JSON.
328 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
329 and because it was documented that way.
330
3314.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
332 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
333 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
334
3354.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
336 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
337 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
338 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
339 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
340 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
341 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
342 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
343 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
344 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
345
3464.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
347 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
348 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
349 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
350 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
351 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
352
3534.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
354 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
355 and set it on the default resolver.
356 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
357 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
358 when running in tainted mode.
359 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
360
3614.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
362 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
363
3644.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
365 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
366 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
367 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
368 destructors.
369 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
370 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
371 implementation.
372 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
373 for cosmetic reasons.
374
3754.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
376 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
377 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
378 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
379 - sped up Tk timer handling.
380 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
381 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
382 - fix Qt timers without interval.
383 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
384
3854.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
386 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
387 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
388 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
389
3904.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
391 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
392 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
393 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
394 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
395
3964.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
397 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
398 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
399 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
400 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
401 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
402 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
403 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
404 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
405 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
406 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
407 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
408
4094.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
410 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
411 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
412 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
413 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
414 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
415 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
416 backend.
417 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
418
4194.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
420 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
421 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
422 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
423 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
424 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
425 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
426
4274.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
428 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
429 illegal.
430 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
431 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
432 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
433 by Adam Rosenstein).
434 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
435 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
436 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
437
4384.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
439 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
440 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
441 the socket type.
442 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
443
4444.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
445 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
446 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
447 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
448 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
449 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
450 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
451
4524.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
453 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
454 unless one has been installed already.
455 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
456 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
457 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle.
458 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
459 client would first wait for some data by the server and
460 otherwise hang. (reported and analysed in an absolutely
461 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
462 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
463 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
464 (reported and analysed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
465 Rosenstein).
466 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
467 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
468 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
469 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
470 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
471 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
472 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
473 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
474 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
475 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
476 now, more to come, though.
477 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
478
4794.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
480 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
481 no trace events.
482 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
483 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
484 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
485 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
486 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
487 Time::HiRes).
488
4894.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
490 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
491 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
492
4934.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
494 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
495 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
496 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
497 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
498
4994.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
500 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
501 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
502 perls without resource leaks or worse).
503
5044.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
505 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
506 the callback.
507 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
508 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
509 eol marker.
510 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
511 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
512 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
513
5144.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
515 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
516 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
517 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
518 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
519 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
520
5214.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
522 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
523 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
524 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
525 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
526 unusable way.
527 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
528 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
529 K. Sharifulin).
530
5314.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
532 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
533 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
534 be delayed under some circumstances.
535 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
536 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
537 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
538 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
539 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
540 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
541
5424.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
543 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
544 assumption that all data could be written before read
545 (reported by Jim Razmus).
546
5474.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
548 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
549 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
550 implementation (also affected child watchers).
551 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
552
5534.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
554 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
555 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
556 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
557
5584.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
559 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
560 works.
561
5624.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
563 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
564 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
565 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
566 for AnyEvent::Handle.
567 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
568 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
569
5704.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
571 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
572 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
573 executing the guard block as warnings.
574 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
575
5764.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
577 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
578 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
579 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
580 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
581 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
582 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
583 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
584 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
585 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
586 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
587 enter an endless loop.
588 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
589 busy again after idling.
590 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
591 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
592 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
593 (hopefully).
594 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
595 away any time.
596
5974.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
598 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
599 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
600 - allow more options in on_error.
601
6024.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
603 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
604 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
605 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
606 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
607 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
608 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
609 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
610 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
611 rfc 2782.
612 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
613 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
614 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
615 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
616 could die. this has been fixed.
617 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
618 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
619 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
620 for resolver class.
621 - update version numbers in all modules.
622
6234.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
624 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
625 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
626 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
627 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
628 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
629 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
630 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
631 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
632 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
633 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
3 - added a a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle. 634 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
635 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
4 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle. 636 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
5 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle. 637 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
638 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
639 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
640 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
641 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
642 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
643 but EV also works around this).
644 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
645 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
646 vs. callback arguments.
647 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
