3TODO: document TCP_*** constants
4TODO: catch AE::xxx for anyevent struct and anyevent debug
5TODO: anyevent::trace? or debug tracing all watchers?
6TODO: anyevent strict etc. for AE::
7
8 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API.
9 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
10 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
11 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
12
135.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
14 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
15 actually used in tcp_server.
16 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
17 missing.
18 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
19 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
20 resulting in more informative error messages.
21 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
22 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
23 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
24 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
25 of AnyEvent::TLS.
26 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
27 requested by Ron Isaacson.
28 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
29 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
30 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
31 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
32 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
33
345.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
35 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
36
375.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
38 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
39 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
40 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
41 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
42 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
43 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
44 - better/more condvar examples.
45
465.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
47 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
48 time (found by Andy Grundman).
49
505.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
51 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
52 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
53 by Bas Denissen).
54 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
55 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
56 EV and Perl backends.
57 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
58 backends.
59 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
60 never documented nor universally supported).
61 - some more memory µ-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
62 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
63
645.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
65 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
66 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
67 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
68
695.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
70 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
71 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
72 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
73 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
74 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
75 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
76 by lucky accident on win32.
77 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
78 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
79 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
80 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
81 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
82 detection and eval.
83 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
84 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
85 (same algorithm as EV).
86 - update unicode idna mapping table.
87
885.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
89 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
90 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
91 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
92 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
93
945.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
95 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
96 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
97 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
98 - provide $AE::VERSION.
99 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
100
1015.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
102 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
103 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
104 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
105 when passing scalar data to extensions).
106 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
107 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
108 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
109 (John Beppu).
110 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
111 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
112 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
113 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
114
1155.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
116 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
117 (spotted by David Friedland).
118 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
119 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
120 unless you rip out everything but the core).
121 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
122 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
123
1245.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
125 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
126 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
127 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
128 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
129 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
130
1315.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
132 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
133 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
134 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
135 (analysed by elmex).
136
1375.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
138 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
139 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
140 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
141 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
142 AnyEvent::Handle.
143 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
144 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
145 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
146 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
147
1485.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
149 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
150 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
151 by Michael S. Fischer).
152 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
153 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
154 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
155 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
156 by default.
157 - fix some prototypes.
158 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
159 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
160
1615.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
162 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
163 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
164 - port to broken win32 perls.
165
1665.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
167 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
168 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
169 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
170 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
171 OSes as well).
172
1735.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
174 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
175 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
176 to reduce dependency on JSON.
177
1785.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
179 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
180 one (was broken since 4.91).
181 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
182 when retrying a tcp_connect.
183 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
184 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
185
1865.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
187 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
188
1895.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
190 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
191 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
192 in AnyEvent::Handle.
193 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
194 settings.
195 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
196 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
197 exporting the probe function).
198 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
199 code to work around it's watcher limits.
200 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
201 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
202 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
203 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
204 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
205
2064.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
207 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
208 already contains some TLS handshake.
209 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
210 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
211 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
212 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
213 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
214
2154.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
216 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
217 a negative value, so avoid that.
218 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
219 after the condition is already signalled.
220 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
221 data.
222 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
223 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
224 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
225 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
226 any issues).
227 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
228 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
229 by name (not name or number).
230 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
231 only compiling signal code when necessary.
232 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
233 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
234 said future/alternative API.
235 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
236
2374.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
238 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
239 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
240 (analysed by elmex).
241
2424.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
243 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
244 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
245 for errors after every push_write etc.
246 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
247 platforms.
248
2494.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
250 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
251 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
252 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
253 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
254 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
255 tutorial accordingly.
256 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
257
2584.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
259 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
260 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
261 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
262 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
263 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
264 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
265 in IO::Async.
266
2674.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
268 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
269 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
270 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
271 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
272 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
273 documentation.
274 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
275 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
276 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
277 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
278 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
279 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
280
2814.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
282 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
283 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
284 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
285 this trap.
286 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
287 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
288 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
289 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
290 on_read callbacks.
291 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
292
2934.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
294 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
295 callbacks.
296 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
297 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
298 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
299 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
300 Event::Lib.
301 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
302 to rarely fail.
303
3044.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
305 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
306 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
307 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
308 in AnyEvent->io.
309 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
310 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
311 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
312 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
313 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
314 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
315 portable_socketpair.
316 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
317 YMMV.
318
3194.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
320 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
321 uppercase targets.
322 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
323 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
324 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
325 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
326 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
327 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
328 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
329 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
330 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
331 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
332 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
333 in the common case.
334 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
335 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
336 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
337 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
338 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
339 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
340 from the constructor.
341 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
342 then fall back to JSON.
343 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
344 and because it was documented that way.
345
3464.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
347 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
348 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
349
3504.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
351 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
352 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
353 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
354 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
355 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
356 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
357 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
358 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
359 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
360
3614.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
362 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
363 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
364 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
365 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
366 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
367
3684.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
369 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
370 and set it on the default resolver.
371 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
372 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
373 when running in tainted mode.
374 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
375
3764.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
377 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
378
3794.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
380 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
381 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
382 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
383 destructors.
384 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
385 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
386 implementation.
387 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
388 for cosmetic reasons.
389
3904.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
391 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
392 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
393 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
394 - sped up Tk timer handling.
395 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
396 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
397 - fix Qt timers without interval.
398 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
399
4004.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
401 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
402 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
403 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
404
4054.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
406 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
407 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
408 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
409 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
410
4114.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
412 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
413 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
414 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
415 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
416 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
417 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
418 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
419 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
420 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
421 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
422 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
423
4244.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
425 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
426 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
427 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
428 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
429 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
430 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
431 backend.
432 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
433
4344.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
435 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
436 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
437 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
438 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
439 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
440 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
441
4424.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
443 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
444 illegal.
445 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
446 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
447 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
448 by Adam Rosenstein).
449 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
450 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
451 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
452
4534.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
454 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
455 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
456 the socket type.
457 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
458
4594.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
460 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
461 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
462 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
463 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
464 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
465 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
466
4674.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
468 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
469 unless one has been installed already.
470 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
471 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
472 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle.
473 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
474 client would first wait for some data by the server and
475 otherwise hang. (reported and analysed in an absolutely
476 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
477 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
478 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
479 (reported and analysed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
480 Rosenstein).
481 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
482 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
483 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
484 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
485 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
486 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
487 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
488 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
489 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
490 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
491 now, more to come, though.
492 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
493
4944.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
495 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
496 no trace events.
497 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
498 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
499 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
500 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
501 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
502 Time::HiRes).
503
5044.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
505 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
506 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
507
5084.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
509 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
510 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
511 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
512 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
513
5144.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
515 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
516 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
517 perls without resource leaks or worse).
518
5194.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
520 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
521 the callback.
522 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
523 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
524 eol marker.
525 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
526 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
527 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
528
5294.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
530 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
531 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
532 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
533 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
534 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
535
5364.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
537 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
538 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
539 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
540 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
541 unusable way.
542 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
543 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
544 K. Sharifulin).
545
5464.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
547 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
548 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
549 be delayed under some circumstances.
550 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
551 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
552 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
553 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
554 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
555 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
556
5574.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
558 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
559 assumption that all data could be written before read
560 (reported by Jim Razmus).
561
5624.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
563 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
564 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
565 implementation (also affected child watchers).
566 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
567
5684.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
569 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
570 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
571 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
572
5734.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
574 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
575 works.
576
5774.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
578 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
579 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
580 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
581 for AnyEvent::Handle.
582 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
583 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
584
5854.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
586 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
587 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
588 executing the guard block as warnings.
589 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
590
5914.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
592 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
593 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
594 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
595 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
596 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
597 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
598 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
599 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
600 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
601 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
602 enter an endless loop.
603 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
604 busy again after idling.
605 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
606 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
607 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
608 (hopefully).
609 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
610 away any time.
611
6124.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
613 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
614 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
615 - allow more options in on_error.
616
6174.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
