34.23 3TODO: implement getprotobyname
4 - ignore possible spurious wake-ups.

64.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
7 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
8 callbacks.
9 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
10 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
11 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
12 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
13 Event::Lib.
14 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
15 to rarely fail.
16
174.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
18 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
19 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
20 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
21 in AnyEvent->io.
22 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
23 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
24 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
25 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
26 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
27 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
28 portable_socketpair.
29 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
30 YMMV.
31
324.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
33 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
34 uppercase targets.
35 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
36 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
37 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
38 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
39 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
40 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
41 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
42 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
43 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
44 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
45 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
46 in the common case.
47 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
48 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
49 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
50 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
51 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
52 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
53 from the constructor.
54 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
55 then fall back to JSON.
56 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
57 and because it was documented that way.
58
594.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
60 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
61 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
62
634.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
64 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
65 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
66 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
67 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
68 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
69 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
70 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
71 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
72 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
73
744.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
75 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
76 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
77 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
78 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
79 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
80
814.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
82 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
83 and set it on the default resolver.
84 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
85 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
86 when running in tainted mode.
87 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
88
894.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
90 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
91
924.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
93 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
94 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
95 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
96 destructors.
97 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
98 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
99 implementation.
100 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
101 for cosmetic reasons.
102
1034.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
104 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
105 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
106 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
107 - sped up Tk timer handling.
108 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
109 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
110 - fix Qt timers without interval.
111 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
112
1134.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
114 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
115 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
116 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
117
1184.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
119 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
120 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
121 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
122 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
123
1244.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
125 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
126 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
127 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
128 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
129 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
130 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
131 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
132 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
133 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
134 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
135 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
136
1374.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
138 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
139 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
140 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
141 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
142 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
143 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
144 backend.
145 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
146
1474.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
148 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
149 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
150 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
151 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
152 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
153 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
154
1554.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
156 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
157 illegal.
158 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
159 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
160 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
161 by Adam Rosenstein).
162 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
163 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
164 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
165
1664.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
167 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
168 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
169 the socket type.
170 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
171
1724.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
173 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
174 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
175 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
176 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
177 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
178 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
179
1804.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
181 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
182 unless one has been installed already.
183 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
184 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
185 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
186 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
187 client would first wait for some data by the server and
188 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
189 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
190 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
191 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
192 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
193 Rosenstein).
194 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
195 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
196 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
197 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
198 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
199 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
200 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
201 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
202 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
203 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
204 now, more to come, though.
205 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
206
2074.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
208 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
209 no trace events.
210 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
211 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
212 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
213 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
214 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
215 Time::HiRes).
216
2174.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
218 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
219 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
220
2214.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
222 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
223 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
224 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
225 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
226
2274.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
228 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
229 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
230 perls without resource leaks or worse).
231
2324.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
4 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be 233 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
5 the callback. 234 the callback.
6 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases. 235 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
7 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default 236 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
8 eol marker. 237 eol marker.
