|
|
4 | - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2, |
|
|
5 | contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to |
|
|
6 | microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king. |
|
|
7 | - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status |
|
|
8 | but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that |
|
|
9 | case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported |
|
|
10 | and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev). |
|
|
11 | - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle: |
|
|
12 | when on_read was registered, the queue was empty |
|
|
13 | and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would |
|
|
14 | enter an endless loop. |
|
|
15 | - correctly start reading again when the handle became |
|
|
16 | busy again after idling. |
|
|
17 | - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition |
|
|
18 | (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that). |
|
|
19 | - correctly call eof callback under all conditions |
|
|
20 | (hopefully). |
|
|
21 | - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go |
|
|
22 | away any time. |
|
|
23 | |
|
|
24 | 4.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008 |
|
|
25 | - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent, |
|
|
26 | anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle. |
|
|
27 | - allow more options in on_error. |
|
|
28 | |
|
|
29 | 4.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008 |
|
|
30 | - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide |
|
|
31 | reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support |
|
|
32 | v4mapped and v4compat addresses. |
|
|
33 | - provide more documentation for the resolver class. |
|
|
34 | - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address, |
|
|
35 | also properly convert :: and ::1 again. |
|
|
36 | - support NAPTR record name and decode it. |
|
|
37 | - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per |
|
|
38 | rfc 2782. |
|
|
39 | - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".". |
|
|
40 | - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot. |
|
|
41 | - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection |
|
|
42 | being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS |
|
|
43 | could die. this has been fixed. |
|
|
44 | - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code. |
|
|
45 | - use configured timeout also for VC request phase. |
|
|
46 | - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods |
|
|
47 | for resolver class. |
|
|
48 | - update version numbers in all modules. |
|
|
49 | |
|
|
50 | 4.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008 |
|
|
51 | - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address |
|
|
52 | which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available |
|
|
53 | for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to |
|
|
54 | AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr. |
|
|
55 | - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now. |
|
|
56 | - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr. |
|
|
57 | - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code. |
|
|
58 | - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying |
|
|
59 | a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service. |
|
|
60 | - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle. |
|
|
61 | - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle. |
|
|
62 | - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle. |
|
|
63 | - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle. |
|
|
64 | - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle. |
|
|
65 | - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call. |
|
|
66 | - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements. |
|
|
67 | - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty |
|
|
68 | select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this |
|
|
69 | workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops, |
|
|
70 | but EV also works around this). |
|
|
71 | - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it. |
|
|
72 | - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle |
|
|
73 | vs. callback arguments. |
|
|
74 | - add some recommends to the META.yml. |
|
|
75 | |
|
|
76 | 4.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008 |
|
|
77 | - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to |
|
|
78 | the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family, |
|
|
79 | didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround. |
|
|
80 | - undo the import WIN32 hack. |
|
|
81 | |
|
|
82 | 4.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008 |
|
|
83 | - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported |
|
|
84 | as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only |
|
|
85 | EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition. |
|
|
86 | - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle. |
|
|
87 | - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly. |
|
|
88 | - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets. |
|
|
89 | - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6 |
|
|
90 | support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the |
|
|
91 | sake of perl 5.8. |
|
|
92 | - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows |
|
|
93 | (still a hack...) |
|
|
94 | - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found. |
|
|
95 | - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad |
|
|
96 | die handlers. |
|
|
97 | |
|
|
98 | 4.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008 |
|
|
99 | - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented |
|
|
100 | error codes for sysread, syswrite etc. |
|
|
101 | - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push. |
|
|
102 | - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes. |
|
|
103 | - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's. |
|
|
104 | - updated documentation. |
|
|
105 | - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks. |
|
|
106 | - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes |
|
|
107 | in AnyEvent::Handle. |
|
|
108 | - support IPv6 in tcp_server. |
|
|
109 | - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server. |
|
|
110 | - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle. |
|
|
111 | - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle; |
|
|
112 | |
|
|
113 | 4.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008 |
|
|
114 | - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module. |
|
|
115 | - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module. |
|
|
116 | - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle. |
|
|
117 | - make condvar->end call ->send as documented. |
|
|
118 | - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument. |
|
|
119 | - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references. |
|
|
120 | - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for |
|
|
121 | verbatim ip addresses. |
|
|
122 | - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore. |
|
|
123 | - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls. |
|
|
124 | - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle. |
|
|
125 | - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server. |
|
|
126 | - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to |
|
|
127 | become writable until empty. |
|
|
128 | - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername |
|
|
129 | returns ENOTCONN. |
|
|
130 | - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP brutal |
|
|
131 | override. |
|
|
132 | - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel. |
|
|
133 | |
|
|
134 | 3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008 |
|
|
135 | - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC |
|
|
136 | (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41). |
|
|
137 | - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server |
|
|
138 | helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class. |
|
|
139 | - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle). |
|
|
140 | - added AnyEvent::Util::guard. |
|
|
141 | - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions. |
|
|
142 | - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as |
|
|
143 | first and second argument. |
|
|
144 | - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line. |
|
|
145 | - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax. |
|
|
146 | - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support |
|
|
147 | cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de) |
|
|
148 | and aaaa records if no a record could be found. |
|
|
149 | |
|
|
150 | 3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008 |
|
|
151 | - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao. |
|
|
152 | |
|
|
153 | 3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008 |
|
|
154 | - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful |
|
|
155 | API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented). |
|
|
156 | - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API |
|
|
157 | (still subject to change). |
|
|
158 | - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl. |
|
|
159 | - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which |
|
|
160 | allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection. |
|
|
161 | (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example). |
|
|
162 | - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent |
|
|
163 | via Coro::AnyEvent. |
|
|
164 | |
|
|
165 | 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008 |
|
|
166 | - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules. |
|
|
167 | - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive |
|
|
168 | when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo. |
|
|
169 | - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing |
|
|
170 | the different event loops with each other. |
|
|
171 | - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast, |
|
|
172 | but doesn't crash with many watchers. |
|
|
173 | - declare Qt support non-experimental. |
|
|
174 | - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being |
|
|
175 | kept alive. |
|
|
176 | - document the race between loading of an event module and |
|
|
177 | child processes exiting. |
|
|
178 | - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic |
|
|
179 | enough, and darn slow). |
|
|
180 | - support Wx and Prima through POE. |
|
|
181 | - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage |
|
|
182 | of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with |
|
|
183 | select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually |
|
|
184 | faster than Event and Glib :). |
|
|
185 | - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%, |
|
|
186 | by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar |
|
|
187 | to other event loops where possible. |
|
|
188 | |
|
|
189 | 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008 |
|
|
190 | - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks |
|
|
191 | in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered |
|
|
192 | for the same fh/poll combo). |
|
|
193 | - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions. |
| 3 | - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable. |
194 | - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable. |
|
|
195 | - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module. |
|
|
196 | - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed). |
|
|
197 | - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof. |

198 | |
| 5 | 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008 |
199 | 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008 |
