2 2
34.3 3ZERO_RETURN - stoptls?
4 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
5 uppercase targets.
6 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
7 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
8 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
9 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
10 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
11 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
12 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
13 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
14 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
15 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
16 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
17 in the common case.
18 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
19 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
20 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
21 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
22 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
23 from the constructor.
24 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
25 then fall back to JSON.
26 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
27 and because it was documented that way.
28
294.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
30 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
31 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
32
334.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
34 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
35 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
36 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
37 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
38 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
39 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
40 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
41 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
42 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
43
444.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
45 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
46 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
47 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
48 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
49 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
50
514.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
52 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
53 and set it on the default resolver.
54 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
55 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
56 when running in tainted mode.
57 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
58
594.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
60 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
61
624.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
63 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
64 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
65 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
66 destructors.
67 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
68 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
69 implementation.
70 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
71 for cosmetic reasons.
72
734.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
74 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
75 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
76 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
77 - sped up Tk timer handling.
78 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
79 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
80 - fix Qt timers without interval.
81 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
82
834.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
84 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
85 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
86 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
87
884.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
89 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
90 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
91 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
92 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
93
944.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
95 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
96 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
97 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
98 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
99 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
100 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
101 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
102 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
103 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
104 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
105 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
106
1074.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
108 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
109 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
110 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
111 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
112 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
113 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
114 backend.
115 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
116
1174.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
118 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
119 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
120 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
121 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
122 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
123 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
124
1254.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
126 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
127 illegal.
128 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
129 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
130 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
131 by Adam Rosenstein).
132 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
133 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
134 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
135
1364.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
137 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
138 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
139 the socket type.
140 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
141
1424.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
143 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
144 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
145 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
146 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
147 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
148 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
149
1504.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
151 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
152 unless one has been installed already.
153 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
154 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
155 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
4 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle where in SSL connect mode, the 156 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
5 client would first wait for some data by the server and 157 client would first wait for some data by the server and
6 otherwise hang. (Reported and analyzed in an absolutely 158 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
7 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein). 159 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
8 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle where SSL EOF would not be treated 160 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
9 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state. 161 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
10 (Reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam 162 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
11 Rosenstein). 163 Rosenstein).
12 - fix a potential segfault in AnyEvent::Handle when the TLS context 164 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
13 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) - 165 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
14 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever. 166 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
167 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
168 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
169 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
170 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
171 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
172 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
173 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
174 now, more to come, though.
175 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.

164.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008 1774.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
17 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported, 178 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
18 no trace events. 179 no trace events.
19 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle. 180 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
