34.9
4 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
5 a negative value, so avoid that.
6 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
7 after the condition is already signalled.
8 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
9 data.
10 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
11 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
12 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
13 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
14 any issues).
15 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
16 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
17 by name (not name or number).
18 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
19 only compiling signal code when necessary.
20 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
21 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
22 said future/alternative API.
23 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
24
254.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
26 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
27 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
28 (analyzed by elmex).
29
304.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
31 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
32 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
33 for errors after every push_write etc.
34 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
35 platforms.
36
374.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
38 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
39 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
40 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
41 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
42 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
43 tutorial accordingly.
44 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
45
464.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
47 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
48 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
49 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
50 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
51 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
52 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
53 in IO::Async.
54
554.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
56 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
57 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
58 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
59 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
60 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
61 documentation.
62 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
63 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
64 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
65 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
66 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
67 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
68
694.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
70 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
71 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
72 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
73 this trap.
74 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
75 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
76 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
77 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
78 on_read callbacks.
79 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
80
814.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
82 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
83 callbacks.
84 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
85 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
86 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
87 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
88 Event::Lib.
89 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
90 to rarely fail.
91
924.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
93 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
94 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
95 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
96 in AnyEvent->io.
97 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
98 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
99 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
100 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
101 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
102 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
103 portable_socketpair.
104 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
105 YMMV.
106
1074.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
108 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
109 uppercase targets.
110 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
111 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
112 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
113 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
114 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
115 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
116 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
117 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
118 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
119 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
120 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
121 in the common case.
122 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
123 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
124 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
125 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
126 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
127 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
128 from the constructor.
129 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
130 then fall back to JSON.
131 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
132 and because it was documented that way.
133
1344.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
135 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
136 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
137
1384.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
139 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
140 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
141 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
142 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
143 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
144 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
145 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
146 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
147 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
148
1494.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
150 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
151 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
152 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
153 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
154 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
155
1564.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
157 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
158 and set it on the default resolver.
159 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
160 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
161 when running in tainted mode.
162 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
163
1644.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
165 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
166
1674.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
168 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
169 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
170 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
171 destructors.
172 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
173 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
174 implementation.
175 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
176 for cosmetic reasons.
177
1784.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
179 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
180 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
181 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
182 - sped up Tk timer handling.
183 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
184 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
185 - fix Qt timers without interval.
186 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
187
1884.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
189 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
190 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
191 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
192
1934.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
194 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
195 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
196 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
197 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
198
1994.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
200 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
201 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
202 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
203 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
204 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
205 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
206 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
207 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
208 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
209 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
210 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
211
2124.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
213 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
214 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
215 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
216 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
217 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
218 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
219 backend.
220 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
221
2224.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
223 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
224 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
225 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
226 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
227 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
228 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
229
2304.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
231 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
232 illegal.
233 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
234 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
235 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
236 by Adam Rosenstein).
237 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
238 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
239 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
240
2414.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
242 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
243 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
244 the socket type.
245 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
246
2474.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
248 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
249 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
250 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
251 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
252 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
253 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
254
2554.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
256 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
257 unless one has been installed already.
258 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
259 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
260 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
261 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
262 client would first wait for some data by the server and
263 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
264 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
265 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
266 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
267 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
268 Rosenstein).
269 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
270 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
271 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
272 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
273 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
274 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
275 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
276 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
277 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
278 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
279 now, more to come, though.
280 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.

34.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008 2824.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
4 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported, 283 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
5 no trace events. 284 no trace events.
6 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle. 285 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
