34.92
4 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
5 in AnyEvent::Handle.
6 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
7 settings.
8 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
9 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
10 exporting the probe function).
11 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
12 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV is the backend.
13 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
14
154.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
16 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
17 already contains some TLS handshake.
18 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
19 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
20 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
21 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
22 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
23
244.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
25 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
26 a negative value, so avoid that.
27 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
28 after the condition is already signalled.
29 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
30 data.
31 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
32 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
33 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
34 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
35 any issues).
36 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
37 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
38 by name (not name or number).
39 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
40 only compiling signal code when necessary.
41 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
42 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
43 said future/alternative API.
44 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
45
464.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
47 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
48 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
49 (analyzed by elmex).
50
514.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
52 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
53 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
54 for errors after every push_write etc.
55 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
56 platforms.
57
584.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
59 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
60 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
61 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
62 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
63 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
64 tutorial accordingly.
65 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
66
674.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
68 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
69 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
70 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
71 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
72 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
73 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
74 in IO::Async.
75
764.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
77 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
78 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
79 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
80 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
81 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
82 documentation.
83 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
84 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
85 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
86 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
87 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
88 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
89
904.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
91 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
92 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
93 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
94 this trap.
95 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
96 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
97 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
98 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
99 on_read callbacks.
100 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
101
1024.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
103 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
104 callbacks.
105 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
106 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
107 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
108 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
109 Event::Lib.
110 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
111 to rarely fail.
112
1134.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
114 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
115 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
116 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
117 in AnyEvent->io.
118 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
119 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
120 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
121 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
122 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
123 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
124 portable_socketpair.
125 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
126 YMMV.
127
1284.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
129 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
130 uppercase targets.
131 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
132 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
133 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
134 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
135 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
136 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
137 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
138 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
139 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
140 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
141 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
142 in the common case.
143 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
144 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
145 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
146 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
147 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
148 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
149 from the constructor.
150 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
151 then fall back to JSON.
152 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
153 and because it was documented that way.
154
1554.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
156 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
157 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
158
1594.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
160 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
161 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
162 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
163 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
164 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
165 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
166 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
167 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
168 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
169
1704.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
171 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
172 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
173 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
174 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
175 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
176
1774.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
178 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
179 and set it on the default resolver.
180 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
181 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
182 when running in tainted mode.
183 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
184
1854.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
186 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
187
1884.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
189 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
190 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
191 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
192 destructors.
193 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
194 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
195 implementation.
196 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
197 for cosmetic reasons.
198
1994.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
200 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
201 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
202 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
203 - sped up Tk timer handling.
204 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
205 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
206 - fix Qt timers without interval.
207 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
208
2094.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
210 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
211 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
212 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
213
2144.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
215 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
216 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
217 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
218 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
219
2204.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
221 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
222 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
223 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
224 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
225 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
226 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
227 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
228 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
229 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
230 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
231 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
232
2334.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
234 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
235 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
236 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
237 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
238 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
239 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
240 backend.
241 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
242
2434.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
244 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
245 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
246 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
247 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
248 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
249 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
250
2514.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
252 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
253 illegal.
254 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
255 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
256 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
257 by Adam Rosenstein).
258 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
259 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
260 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
261
2624.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
263 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
264 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
265 the socket type.
266 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
267
2684.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
269 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
270 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
271 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
272 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
273 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
274 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
275
2764.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
277 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
278 unless one has been installed already.
279 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
280 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
281 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
282 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
283 client would first wait for some data by the server and
284 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
285 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
286 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
287 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
288 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
289 Rosenstein).
290 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
291 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
292 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
293 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
294 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
295 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
296 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
297 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
298 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
299 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
300 now, more to come, though.
301 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
302
3034.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
304 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
305 no trace events.
306 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
307 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
308 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
309 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
310 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
311 Time::HiRes).
312
3134.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
314 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
315 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
316
3174.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
318 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
319 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
320 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
321 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
322
3234.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
324 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
325 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
326 perls without resource leaks or worse).
327
3284.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
329 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
330 the callback.
331 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
332 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
333 eol marker.
334 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
335 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
336 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
337
3384.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
339 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
340 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
341 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
342 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
343 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
344
3454.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
346 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
347 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
348 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
349 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
350 unusable way.
351 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
352 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
353 K. Sharifulin).
