Revision 1.378 by root, Sat Jan 30 21:53:55 2010 UTC

1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2
3 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
4 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
5 by lucky accident on win32.
6 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
7
85.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
9 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
10 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
11 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
12 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
13
145.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
15 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
16 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
17 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
18 - provide $AE::VERSION.
19 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
20
215.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
22 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
23 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
24 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
25 when passing scalar data to extensions).
26 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
27 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
28 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
29 (John Beppu).
30 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
31 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
32 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
33 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
34
355.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
36 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
37 (spotted by David Friedland).
38 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
39 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
40 unless you rip out everything but the core).
41 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
42 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
43
445.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
45 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
46 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
47 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
48 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
49 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
50
515.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
52 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
53 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
54 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
55 (analysed by elmex).
56
575.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
58 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
59 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
60 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
61 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
62 AnyEvent::Handle.
63 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
64 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
65 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
66 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
67
685.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
69 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
70 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
71 by Michael S. Fischer).
72 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
73 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
74 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
75 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
76 by default.
77 - fix some prototypes.
78 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
79 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
80
815.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
82 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
83 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
84 - port to broken win32 perls.
85
865.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
87 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
88 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
89 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
90 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
91 OSes as well).
92
935.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
94 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
95 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
96 to reduce dependency on JSON.
97
985.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
99 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
100 one (was broken since 4.91).
101 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
102 when retrying a tcp_connect.
103 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
104 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
105
1065.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
107 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
108
1095.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
110 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
111 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
112 in AnyEvent::Handle.
113 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
114 settings.
115 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
116 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
117 exporting the probe function).
118 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
119 code to work around it's watcher limits.
120 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
121 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
122 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
123 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
124 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
125
1264.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
127 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
128 already contains some TLS handshake.
129 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
130 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
131 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
132 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
133 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
134
1354.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
136 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
137 a negative value, so avoid that.
138 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
139 after the condition is already signalled.
140 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
141 data.
142 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
143 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
144 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
145 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
146 any issues).
147 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
148 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
149 by name (not name or number).
150 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
151 only compiling signal code when necessary.
152 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
153 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
154 said future/alternative API.
155 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
156
1574.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
158 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
159 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
160 (analysed by elmex).
161
1624.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
163 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
164 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
165 for errors after every push_write etc.
166 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
167 platforms.
168
1694.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
170 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
171 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
172 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
173 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
174 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
175 tutorial accordingly.
176 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
177
1784.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
179 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
180 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
181 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
182 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
183 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
184 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
185 in IO::Async.
186
1874.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
188 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
189 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
190 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
191 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
192 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
193 documentation.
194 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
195 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
196 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
197 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
198 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
199 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
200
2014.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
202 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
203 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
204 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
205 this trap.
206 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
207 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
208 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
209 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
210 on_read callbacks.
211 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
212
2134.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
214 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
215 callbacks.
216 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
217 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
218 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
219 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
220 Event::Lib.
221 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
222 to rarely fail.
223
2244.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
225 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
226 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
227 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
228 in AnyEvent->io.
229 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
230 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
231 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
232 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
233 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
234 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
235 portable_socketpair.
236 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
237 YMMV.
238
2394.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
240 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
241 uppercase targets.
242 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
243 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
244 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
245 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
246 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
247 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
248 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
249 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
250 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
251 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
252 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
253 in the common case.
254 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
255 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
256 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
257 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
258 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
259 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
260 from the constructor.
261 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
262 then fall back to JSON.
263 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
264 and because it was documented that way.
265
2664.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
267 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
268 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
269
2704.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
271 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
272 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
273 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
274 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
275 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
276 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
277 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
278 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
279 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
280
2814.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
282 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
283 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
284 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
285 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
286 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
287
2884.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
289 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
290 and set it on the default resolver.
291 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
292 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
293 when running in tainted mode.
294 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
295
2964.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
297 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
298
2994.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
300 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
301 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
302 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
303 destructors.
304 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
305 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
306 implementation.
307 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
308 for cosmetic reasons.
309
3104.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
311 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
312 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
313 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
314 - sped up Tk timer handling.
315 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
316 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
317 - fix Qt timers without interval.
318 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
319
3204.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
321 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
322 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
323 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
324
3254.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
326 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
327 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
328 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
329 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
330
3314.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
332 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
333 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
334 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
335 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
336 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
337 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
338 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
339 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
340 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
341 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
342 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
343
3444.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
345 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
346 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
347 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
348 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
349 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
350 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
351 backend.
352 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
353
3544.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
355 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
356 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
357 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
358 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
359 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
360 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
361
3624.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
363 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
364 illegal.
365 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
366 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
367 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
368 by Adam Rosenstein).
369 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
370 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
371 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
372
3734.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
374 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
375 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
376 the socket type.
377 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
378
3794.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
380 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
381 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
382 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
383 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
384 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
385 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
386
3874.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
388 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
389 unless one has been installed already.
390 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
391 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
392 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
393 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
394 client would first wait for some data by the server and
395 otherwise hang. (reported and analysed in an absolutely
396 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
397 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
398 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
399 (reported and analysed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
400 Rosenstein).
401 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
402 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
403 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
404 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
405 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
406 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
407 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
408 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
409 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
410 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
411 now, more to come, though.
412 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
413
4144.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
415 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
416 no trace events.
417 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
418 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
419 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
420 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
421 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
422 Time::HiRes).
423
4244.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
425 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
426 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
427
4284.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
429 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
430 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
431 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
432 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
2 433
34.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008 4344.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
4 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call 435 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
5 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows 436 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
6 perls without resource leaks or worse). 437 perls without resource leaks or worse).
