3TODO: some time-outs in AnyEvent::Handle... 34.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
4 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now. 4 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
5 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
6 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
7 in AnyEvent->io.
8 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
9 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
10 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
11 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
12 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
13 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
14 portable_socketpair.
15 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
16 YMMV.
17
184.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
19 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
20 uppercase targets.
21 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
22 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
23 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
24 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
25 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
26 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
27 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
28 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
29 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
30 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
31 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
32 in the common case.
33 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
34 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
35 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
36 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
37 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
38 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
39 from the constructor.
40 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
41 then fall back to JSON.
42 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
43 and because it was documented that way.
44
454.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
46 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
47 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
48
494.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
50 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
51 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
52 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
53 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
54 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
55 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
56 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
57 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
58 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
59
604.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
61 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
62 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
63 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
64 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
65 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
66
674.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
68 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
69 and set it on the default resolver.
70 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
71 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
72 when running in tainted mode.
73 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
74
754.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
76 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
77
784.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
79 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
80 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
81 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
82 destructors.
83 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
84 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
85 implementation.
86 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
87 for cosmetic reasons.
88
894.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
90 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
91 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
92 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
93 - sped up Tk timer handling.
94 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
95 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
96 - fix Qt timers without interval.
97 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
98
994.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
100 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
101 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
102 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
103
1044.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
105 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
106 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
107 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
108 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
109
1104.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
111 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
112 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
113 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
114 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
115 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
116 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
117 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
118 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
119 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
120 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
121 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
122
1234.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
124 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
125 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
126 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
127 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
128 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
129 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
130 backend.
131 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
132
1334.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
134 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
135 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
136 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
137 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
138 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
139 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
140
1414.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
142 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
143 illegal.
144 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
145 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
146 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
147 by Adam Rosenstein).
148 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
149 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
150 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
151
1524.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
153 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
154 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
155 the socket type.
156 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
157
1584.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
159 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
160 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
161 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
162 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
163 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
164 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
165
1664.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
167 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
168 unless one has been installed already.
169 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
170 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
171 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
172 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
173 client would first wait for some data by the server and
174 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
175 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
176 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
177 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
178 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
179 Rosenstein).
180 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
181 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
182 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
183 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
184 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
185 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
186 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
187 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
188 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
189 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
190 now, more to come, though.
191 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
192
1934.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
194 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
195 no trace events.
196 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
197 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
198 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
199 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
200 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
201 Time::HiRes).
202
2034.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
204 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
205 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
206
2074.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
208 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
209 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
210 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
211 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
212
2134.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
214 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
215 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
216 perls without resource leaks or worse).
217
2184.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
219 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
220 the callback.
221 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
222 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
223 eol marker.
224 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
225 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
226 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
227
2284.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
229 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
230 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
231 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
232 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
233 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
234
2354.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
236 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
237 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
238 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
239 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
240 unusable way.
241 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
242 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
243 K. Sharifulin).
244
2454.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
246 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
247 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
248 be delayed under some circumstances.
249 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
250 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
251 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
252 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
253 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
254 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
255
2564.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
257 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
258 assumption that all data could be written before read
259 (reported by Jim Razmus).
260
2614.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
262 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
263 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
264 implementation (also affected child watchers).
265 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
266
2674.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
268 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
269 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
270 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
271
2724.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
273 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
274 works.
275
2764.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
277 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
278 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
279 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
280 for AnyEvent::Handle.
281 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
282 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
283
2844.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
285 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
286 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
287 executing the guard block as warnings.
288 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
289
2904.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
291 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
292 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
293 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
294 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
295 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
296 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
297 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
298 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
299 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
300 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
301 enter an endless loop.
302 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
303 busy again after idling.
304 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
305 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
306 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
307 (hopefully).
308 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
309 away any time.
310
3114.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
312 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
313 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
314 - allow more options in on_error.
315
3164.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
317 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
318 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
319 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
320 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
321 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
322 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
323 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
324 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
325 rfc 2782.
326 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
327 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
328 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
329 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
330 could die. this has been fixed.
331 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
332 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
333 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
334 for resolver class.
335 - update version numbers in all modules.
336
3374.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
