3TODO: document TCP_*** constants
4TODO: add debug/trace logging to some modules
5
66.12 Mon Dec 12 13:21:10 CET 2011
7 - $! was clobbered by subsequent calls in tcp_connect, due to
8 the postpone not saving/restoring it (analyzed by Richard Garnish).
9
106.11 Tue Nov 22 10:36:05 CET 2011
11 - Tk cannot create windows when tainted unless you set a title, so
12 set a dummy title for AnyEvent's dummy mainwindow. How dummy.
13 - escape any nonprintable/nonascii characters when stringifying
14 backtraces.
15 - log the reason loading an interface module fails to load at level debug.
16
176.1 Tue Oct 4 19:44:30 CEST 2011
18 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
19 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
20 to higher log levels to print by default.
21 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
22 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
23 how that module sucks.
24 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
25 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
26 of 127.0.0.1).
27 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
28 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
29 - AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to.
30 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
31 intervals.
32 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
33 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
34 which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
35 delivery.
36 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
37 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
38 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
39 of the context as title.
40 - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback
41 died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging...
42 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
43 to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
44 to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
45 attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
46 AnyEvent.
47
486.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
49 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
50 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
51 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
52 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
53 to work around.
54 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
55
566.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011
57 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
58 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
59 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
60 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
61 AnyEvent::Socket.
62 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
63 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
64 methods.
65 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
66 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
67 - DEPRECIATION: please change
68 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
69 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
70 in your programs, for future compatibility.
71 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
72 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
73 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
74 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
75 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
76 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
77 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
78 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
79 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
80 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
81 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
82 a debug shell.
83 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
84 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
85 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
86 /etc/hosts can be found.
87 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
88 configuration.
89 - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
90 PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
91 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
92 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications $_ by the callback
93 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
94 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
95 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
96 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
97 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
98 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
99 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
100 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
101 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
102 supports /etc/hosts overrides.
103 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
104 and (newly introduced) in POE.
105 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
106 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
107 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
108 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
109 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
110 (reported by Gerald Galster).
111 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
112 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
113 do not support blocking waits.
114 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
115 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
116 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
117 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
118 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
119 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
120 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
121 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
122 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
123 - suppress the idiotic warning inside POE by patching the POE::Kernel
124 run flags instead of asking the user to jump through contortions.
125 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
126 - replace PF_UNSPEC by 0, for good old minix.
127
1286.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)
129
1305.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
131 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
132 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
133 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
134
1355.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
136 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
137 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
138 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
139 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
140 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
141 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
142 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
143 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
144 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
145 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
146 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
147 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
148 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
149
1505.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
151 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
152 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
153 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
154 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
155 documentation for caveats.
156 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
157 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
158 AnyEvent::Handle).
159 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
160 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
161
1625.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
163 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
164 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
165 the availabilty of a default loop!
166 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
167 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
168 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
169 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
170 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
171 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
172 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
173 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
174
1755.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
176 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
177 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
178 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
179 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
180 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
181 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
182 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
183 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
184 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
185 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
186 as part of the perl core.
187 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
188 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
189 minimal perl...).
190
1915.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
192 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
193 actually used in tcp_server.
194 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
195 missing.
196 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
197 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
198 resulting in more informative error messages.
199 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
200 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
201 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
202 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
203 of AnyEvent::TLS.
204 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
205 requested by Ron Isaacson.
206 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
207 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
208 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
209 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
210 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
211
2125.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
213 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
214
2155.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
216 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
217 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
218 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
219 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
220 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
221 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
222 - better/more condvar examples.
223
2245.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
225 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
226 time (found by Andy Grundman).
227
2285.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
229 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
230 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
231 by Bas Denissen).
232 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
233 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
234 EV and Perl backends.
235 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
236 backends.
237 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
238 never documented nor universally supported).
239 - some more memory µ-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
240 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
241
2425.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
243 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
244 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
245 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
246
2475.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
248 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
249 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
250 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
251 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
252 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
253 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
254 by lucky accident on win32.
255 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
256 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
257 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
258 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
259 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
260 detection and eval.
261 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
262 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
263 (same algorithm as EV).
264 - update unicode idna mapping table.
265
2665.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
267 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
268 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
269 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
270 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
271
2725.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
273 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
274 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
275 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
276 - provide $AE::VERSION.
277 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
278
2795.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
280 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
281 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
282 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
283 when passing scalar data to extensions).
284 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
285 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
286 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
287 (John Beppu).
288 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
289 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
290 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
291 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
292
2935.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
294 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
295 (spotted by David Friedland).
296 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
297 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
298 unless you rip out everything but the core).
299 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
300 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
301
3025.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
303 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
304 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
305 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
306 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
307 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
308
3095.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
310 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
311 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
312 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
313 (analysed by elmex).
314
3155.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
316 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
317 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
318 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
319 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
320 AnyEvent::Handle.
321 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
322 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
323 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
324 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
325
3265.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
327 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
328 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
329 by Michael S. Fischer).
330 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
331 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
332 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
333 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
334 by default.
335 - fix some prototypes.
336 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
337 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
338
3395.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
340 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
341 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
342 - port to broken win32 perls.
343
3445.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
345 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
346 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
347 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
348 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
349 OSes as well).
350
3515.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
352 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
353 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
354 to reduce dependency on JSON.
355
3565.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
357 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
358 one (was broken since 4.91).
359 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
360 when retrying a tcp_connect.
361 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
362 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
363
3645.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
365 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
366
3675.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
368 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
369 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
370 in AnyEvent::Handle.
371 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
372 settings.
373 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
374 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
375 exporting the probe function).
376 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
377 code to work around it's watcher limits.
378 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
379 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
380 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
381 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
382 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
383
3844.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
385 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
386 already contains some TLS handshake.
387 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
388 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
389 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
390 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
391 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
392
3934.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
394 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
395 a negative value, so avoid that.
396 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
397 after the condition is already signalled.
398 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
399 data.
400 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
401 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
402 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
403 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
404 any issues).
405 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
406 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
407 by name (not name or number).
408 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
409 only compiling signal code when necessary.
410 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
411 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
412 said future/alternative API.
413 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
414
4154.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
416 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
417 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
418 (analysed by elmex).
419
4204.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
421 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
422 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
423 for errors after every push_write etc.
424 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
425 platforms.
426
4274.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
428 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
429 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
430 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
431 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
432 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
433 tutorial accordingly.
434 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
435
4364.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
437 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
438 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
439 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
440 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
441 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
442 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
443 in IO::Async.
444
4454.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
446 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
447 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
448 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
449 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
450 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
451 documentation.
452 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
453 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
454 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
455 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
456 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
457 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
458
4594.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
460 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
461 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
462 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
463 this trap.
464 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
465 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
466 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
467 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
468 on_read callbacks.
469 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
470
4714.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
472 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
473 callbacks.
474 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
475 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
476 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
477 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
478 Event::Lib.
479 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
480 to rarely fail.
481
4824.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
483 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
484 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
485 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
486 in AnyEvent->io.
487 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
488 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
489 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
490 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
491 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
492 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
493 portable_socketpair.
494 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
495 YMMV.
496
4974.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
498 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
499 uppercase targets.
500 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
501 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
502 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
503 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
504 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
505 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
506 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
507 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
508 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
509 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
510 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
511 in the common case.
512 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
513 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
514 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
515 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
516 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
517 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
518 from the constructor.
519 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
520 then fall back to JSON.
521 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
522 and because it was documented that way.
523
5244.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
525 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
526 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
527
5284.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
529 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
530 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
531 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
532 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
533 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
534 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
535 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
536 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
537 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
538
5394.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
540 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
541 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
542 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
543 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
544 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
545
5464.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
547 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
548 and set it on the default resolver.
549 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
550 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
551 when running in tainted mode.
552 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
553
5544.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
555 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
556
5574.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
558 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
559 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
560 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
561 destructors.
562 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
563 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
564 implementation.
565 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
566 for cosmetic reasons.
567
5684.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
569 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
570 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
571 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
572 - sped up Tk timer handling.
573 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
574 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
575 - fix Qt timers without interval.
576 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
577
5784.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
579 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
580 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
581 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
582
5834.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
584 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
585 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
586 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
587 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
588
5894.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
590 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
591 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
592 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
593 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
594 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
595 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
596 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
597 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
598 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
599 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
600 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
601
6024.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
603 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
604 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
605 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
606 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
607 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
608 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
609 backend.
610 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
611
6124.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
613 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
614 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
615 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
616 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
617 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
618 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
619
6204.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
621 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
622 illegal.
623 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
624 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
625 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
626 by Adam Rosenstein).
627 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
628 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
629 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
630
6314.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
632 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
633 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
634 the socket type.
635 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
636
6374.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
638 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
639 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
640 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
641 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
642 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
643 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
644
6454.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
646 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
647 unless one has been installed already.
648 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
649 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
650 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle.
651 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
652 client would first wait for some data by the server and
653 otherwise hang. (reported and analysed in an absolutely
654 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
655 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
656 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
657 (reported and analysed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
658 Rosenstein).
659 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
660 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
661 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
662 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
663 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
664 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
665 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
666 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
667 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
668 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
669 now, more to come, though.
670 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
671
6724.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
673 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
674 no trace events.
675 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
676 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
677 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
678 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
679 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
680 Time::HiRes).
681
6824.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
683 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
684 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
685
6864.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
687 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
688 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
689 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
690 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
691
6924.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
693 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
694 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
695 perls without resource leaks or worse).
696
6974.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
698 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
699 the callback.
700 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
701 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
702 eol marker.
703 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
704 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
705 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
706
7074.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
708 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
709 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
710 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
711 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
712 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
713
7144.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
715 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
716 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
717 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
718 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
719 unusable way.
720 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
721 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
722 K. Sharifulin).
723
7244.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
725 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
726 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
727 be delayed under some circumstances.
728 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
729 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
730 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
731 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
732 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
733 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
734
7354.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
736 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
737 assumption that all data could be written before read
738 (reported by Jim Razmus).
739
7404.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
741 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
742 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
743 implementation (also affected child watchers).
744 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
745
7464.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
747 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
748 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
749 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
750
7514.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
752 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
753 works.
754
7554.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
756 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
757 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
758 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
759 for AnyEvent::Handle.
760 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
761 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
