34.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
4 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
5 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
6 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
7 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
8 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
9 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
10 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
11 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
12 rfc 2782.
13 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
14 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
15 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
16 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
17 could die. this has been fixed.
18 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
19 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
20 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
21 for resolver class.
22 - update version numbers in all modules.
23
244.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
25 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
26 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
27 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
28 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
29 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
30 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
31 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
32 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
33 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
34 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
35 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
36 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
37 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
38 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
39 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
40 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
41 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
42 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
43 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
44 but EV also works around this).
45 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
46 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
47 vs. callback arguments.
48 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
49
504.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
51 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
52 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
53 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
54 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
55
564.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
57 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
58 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
59 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
60 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
61 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
62 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
63 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
64 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
65 sake of perl 5.8.
66 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
67 (still a hack...)
68 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
69 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
70 die handlers.
71
724.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
73 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
74 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
75 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
76 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
77 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
78 - updated documentation.
79 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
80 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
81 in AnyEvent::Handle.
82 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
83 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
84 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
85 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
86
874.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
88 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
89 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
90 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
91 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
92 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
93 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
94 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
95 verbatim ip addresses.
96 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
97 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
98 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
99 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
100 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
101 become writable until empty.
102 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
103 returns ENOTCONN.
104 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP brutal
105 override.
106 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
107
1083.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
109 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
110 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
111 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
112 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
113 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
114 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
115 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
116 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
117 first and second argument.
118 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
119 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
120 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
121 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
122 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
123
1243.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
125 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
126
1273.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
128 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful
129 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
130 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
131 (still subject to change).
132 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
133 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
134 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
135 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
136 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
137 via Coro::AnyEvent.
138
1393.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
140 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
141 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
142 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
143 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
144 the different event loops with each other.
145 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
146 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
147 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
148 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
149 kept alive.
150 - document the race between loading of an event module and
151 child processes exiting.
152 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
153 enough, and darn slow).
154 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
155 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
156 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
157 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
158 faster than Event and Glib :).
159 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
160 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
161 to other event loops where possible.
162
1633.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
164 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
165 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
166 for the same fh/poll combo).
167 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
168 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
169 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
170 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
171 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
172
1733.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
174 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
175 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
176 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
177 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
178 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
179 - do not send the signal to the process group
180 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
181
1823.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
183 - major documentation rework.
184 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
185 - fix the child watcher example.
186
1873.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
3 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the 188 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
4 only method with good success chances on Tk. 189 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
190 don't get fixed anytime soon).
5 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction 191 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
6 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed 192 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
7 such strong limits). 193 such strong limits).
