2
3 - provide $AE::VERSION.
4
55.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
6 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
7 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
8 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
9 when passing scalar data to extensions).
10 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
11 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
12 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
13 (John Beppu).
14 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
15 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
16 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
17 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
18
195.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
20 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
21 (spotted by David Friedland).
22 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
23 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
24 unless you rip out everything but the core).
25 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
26 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
27
285.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
29 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
30 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
31 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
32 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
33 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
34
355.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
36 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
37 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
38 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
39 (analysed by elmex).
40
415.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
42 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
43 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
44 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
45 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
46 AnyEvent::Handle.
47 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
48 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
49 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
50 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
51
525.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
53 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
54 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
55 by Michael S. Fischer).
56 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
57 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
58 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
59 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
60 by default.
61 - fix some prototypes.
62 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
63 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
64
655.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
66 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
67 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
68 - port to broken win32 perls.
69
705.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
71 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
72 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
73 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
74 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
75 OSes as well).
76
775.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
78 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
79 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
80 to reduce dependency on JSON.
81
825.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
83 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
84 one (was broken since 4.91).
85 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
86 when retrying a tcp_connect.
87 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
88 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
89
905.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
91 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
92
935.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
94 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
95 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
96 in AnyEvent::Handle.
97 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
98 settings.
99 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
100 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
101 exporting the probe function).
102 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
103 code to work around it's watcher limits.
104 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
105 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
106 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
107 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
108 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
109
1104.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
111 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
112 already contains some TLS handshake.
113 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
114 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
115 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
116 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
117 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
118
1194.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
120 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
121 a negative value, so avoid that.
122 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
123 after the condition is already signalled.
124 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
125 data.
126 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
127 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
128 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
129 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
130 any issues).
131 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
132 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
133 by name (not name or number).
134 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
135 only compiling signal code when necessary.
136 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
137 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
138 said future/alternative API.
139 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
140
1414.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
142 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
143 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
144 (analysed by elmex).
145
1464.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
147 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
148 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
149 for errors after every push_write etc.
150 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
151 platforms.
152
1534.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
154 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
155 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
156 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
157 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
158 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
159 tutorial accordingly.
160 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
161
1624.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
163 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
164 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
165 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
166 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
167 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
168 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
169 in IO::Async.
170
1714.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
172 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
173 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
174 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
175 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
176 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
177 documentation.
178 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
179 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
180 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
181 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
182 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
183 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
184
1854.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
186 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
187 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
188 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
189 this trap.
190 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
191 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
192 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
193 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
194 on_read callbacks.
195 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
196
1974.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
198 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
199 callbacks.
200 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
201 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
202 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
203 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
204 Event::Lib.
205 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
206 to rarely fail.
207
2084.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
209 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
210 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
211 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
212 in AnyEvent->io.
213 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
214 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
215 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
216 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
217 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
218 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
219 portable_socketpair.
220 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
221 YMMV.
222
2234.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
224 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
225 uppercase targets.
226 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
227 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
228 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
229 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
230 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
231 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
232 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
233 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
234 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
235 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
236 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
237 in the common case.
238 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
239 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
240 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
241 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
242 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
243 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
244 from the constructor.
245 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
246 then fall back to JSON.
247 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
248 and because it was documented that way.
249
2504.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
251 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
252 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
253
2544.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
255 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
256 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
257 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
258 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
259 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
260 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
261 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
262 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
263 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
264
2654.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
266 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
267 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
268 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
269 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
270 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
271
2724.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
273 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
274 and set it on the default resolver.
275 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
276 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
277 when running in tainted mode.
278 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
279
2804.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
281 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
282
2834.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
284 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
285 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
286 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
287 destructors.
288 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
289 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
290 implementation.
291 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
292 for cosmetic reasons.
293
2944.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
295 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
296 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
297 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
298 - sped up Tk timer handling.
299 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
300 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
301 - fix Qt timers without interval.
302 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
303
3044.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
305 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
306 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
307 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
308
3094.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
310 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
311 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
312 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
313 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
314
3154.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
316 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
317 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
318 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
319 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
320 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
321 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
322 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
323 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
324 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
325 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
326 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
327
3284.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
329 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
330 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
331 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
332 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
333 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
334 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
335 backend.
336 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
337
3384.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
339 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
340 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
341 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
342 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
343 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
344 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
345
3464.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
347 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
348 illegal.
349 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
350 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
351 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
352 by Adam Rosenstein).
353 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
354 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
355 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
356
3574.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
358 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
359 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
360 the socket type.
361 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
362
3634.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
364 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
365 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
366 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
367 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
368 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
369 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
370
3714.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
372 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
373 unless one has been installed already.
374 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
375 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
376 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
377 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
378 client would first wait for some data by the server and
379 otherwise hang. (reported and analysed in an absolutely
380 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
381 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
382 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
383 (reported and analysed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
384 Rosenstein).
385 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
386 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
387 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
388 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
389 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
390 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
391 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
392 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
393 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
394 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
395 now, more to come, though.
396 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
397
3984.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
399 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
400 no trace events.
401 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
402 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
403 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
404 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
405 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
406 Time::HiRes).
407
4084.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
409 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
410 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
411
4124.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
413 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
414 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
415 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
416 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
417
4184.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
419 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
420 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
421 perls without resource leaks or worse).
422
4234.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
424 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
425 the callback.
426 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
427 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
428 eol marker.
429 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
430 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
431 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
432
4334.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
434 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
435 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
436 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
437 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
438 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
