34.3 3TODO: document TCP_*** constants
4TODO: add debug/trace logging to some modules
5
6 - Tk cannot create windows when tainted unless you set a title, so
7 set a dummy title for AnyEvent's dummy mainwindow. How dummy.
8 - escape any nonprintable/nonascii characters when stringifying
9 backtraces.
10 - log the reason loading an interface module fails to load at level debug.
11
126.1 Tue Oct 4 19:44:30 CEST 2011
13 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
14 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
15 to higher log levels to print by default.
16 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
17 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
18 how that module sucks.
19 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
20 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
21 of 127.0.0.1).
22 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
23 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
24 - AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to.
25 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
26 intervals.
27 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
28 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
29 which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
30 delivery.
31 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
32 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
33 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
34 of the context as title.
35 - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback
36 died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging...
37 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
38 to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
39 to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
40 attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
41 AnyEvent.
42
436.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
44 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
45 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
46 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
47 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
48 to work around.
49 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
50
516.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011
52 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
53 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
54 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
55 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
56 AnyEvent::Socket.
57 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
58 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
59 methods.
60 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
61 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
62 - DEPRECIATION: please change
63 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
64 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
65 in your programs, for future compatibility.
66 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
67 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
68 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
69 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
70 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
71 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
72 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
73 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
74 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
75 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
76 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
77 a debug shell.
78 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
79 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
80 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
81 /etc/hosts can be found.
82 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
83 configuration.
84 - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
85 PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
86 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
87 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications $_ by the callback
88 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
89 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
90 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
91 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
92 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
93 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
94 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
95 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
96 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
97 supports /etc/hosts overrides.
98 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
99 and (newly introduced) in POE.
100 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
101 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
102 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
103 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
104 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
105 (reported by Gerald Galster).
106 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
107 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
108 do not support blocking waits.
109 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
110 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
111 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
112 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
113 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
114 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
115 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
116 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
117 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
118 - suppress the idiotic warning inside POE by patching the POE::Kernel
119 run flags instead of asking the user to jump through contortions.
120 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
121 - replace PF_UNSPEC by 0, for good old minix.
122
1236.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)
124
1255.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
126 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
127 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
128 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
129
1305.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
131 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
132 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
133 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
134 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
135 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
136 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
137 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
138 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
139 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
140 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
141 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
142 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
143 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
144
1455.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
146 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
147 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
148 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
149 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
150 documentation for caveats.
151 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
152 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
153 AnyEvent::Handle).
154 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
155 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
156
1575.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
158 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
159 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
160 the availabilty of a default loop!
161 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
162 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
163 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
164 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
165 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
166 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
167 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
168 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
169
1705.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
171 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
172 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
173 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
174 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
175 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
176 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
177 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
178 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
179 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
180 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
181 as part of the perl core.
182 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
183 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
184 minimal perl...).
185
1865.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
187 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
188 actually used in tcp_server.
189 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
190 missing.
191 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
192 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
193 resulting in more informative error messages.
194 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
195 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
196 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
197 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
198 of AnyEvent::TLS.
199 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
200 requested by Ron Isaacson.
201 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
202 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
203 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
204 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
205 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
206
2075.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
208 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
209
2105.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
211 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
212 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
213 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
214 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
215 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
216 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
217 - better/more condvar examples.
218
2195.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
220 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
221 time (found by Andy Grundman).
222
2235.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
224 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
225 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
226 by Bas Denissen).
227 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
228 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
229 EV and Perl backends.
230 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
231 backends.
232 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
233 never documented nor universally supported).
234 - some more memory µ-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
235 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
236
2375.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
238 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
239 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
240 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
241
2425.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
243 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
244 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
245 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
246 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
247 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
248 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
249 by lucky accident on win32.
250 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
251 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
252 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
253 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
254 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
255 detection and eval.
256 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
257 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
258 (same algorithm as EV).
259 - update unicode idna mapping table.
260
2615.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
262 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
263 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
264 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
265 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
266
2675.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
268 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
269 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
270 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
271 - provide $AE::VERSION.
272 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
273
2745.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
275 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
276 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
277 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
278 when passing scalar data to extensions).
279 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
280 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
281 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
282 (John Beppu).
283 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
284 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
285 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
286 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
287
2885.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
289 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
290 (spotted by David Friedland).
291 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
292 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
293 unless you rip out everything but the core).
294 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
295 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
296
2975.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
298 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
299 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
300 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
301 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
302 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
303
3045.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
305 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
306 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
307 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
308 (analysed by elmex).
309
3105.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
311 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
312 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
313 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
314 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
315 AnyEvent::Handle.
316 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
317 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
318 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
319 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
320
3215.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
322 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
323 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
324 by Michael S. Fischer).
325 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
326 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
327 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
328 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
329 by default.
330 - fix some prototypes.
331 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
332 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
333
3345.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
335 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
336 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
337 - port to broken win32 perls.
338
3395.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
340 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
341 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
342 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
343 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
344 OSes as well).
345
3465.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
347 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
348 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
349 to reduce dependency on JSON.
350
3515.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
352 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
353 one (was broken since 4.91).
354 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
355 when retrying a tcp_connect.
356 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
357 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
358
3595.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
360 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
361
3625.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
363 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
364 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
365 in AnyEvent::Handle.
366 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
367 settings.
368 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
369 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
370 exporting the probe function).
371 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
372 code to work around it's watcher limits.
373 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
374 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
375 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
376 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
377 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
378
3794.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
380 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
381 already contains some TLS handshake.
382 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
383 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
384 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
385 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
386 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
387
3884.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
389 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
390 a negative value, so avoid that.
391 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
392 after the condition is already signalled.
393 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
394 data.
395 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
396 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
397 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
398 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
399 any issues).
400 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
401 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
402 by name (not name or number).
403 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
404 only compiling signal code when necessary.
405 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
406 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
407 said future/alternative API.
408 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
409
4104.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
411 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
412 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
413 (analysed by elmex).
414
4154.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
416 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
417 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
418 for errors after every push_write etc.
419 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
420 platforms.
421
4224.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
423 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
424 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
425 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
426 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
427 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
428 tutorial accordingly.
429 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
430
4314.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
432 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
433 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
434 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
435 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
436 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
437 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
438 in IO::Async.
439
4404.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
441 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
442 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
443 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
444 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
445 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
446 documentation.
447 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
448 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
449 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
450 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
451 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
452 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
453
4544.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
455 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
456 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
457 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
458 this trap.
459 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
460 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
461 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
462 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
463 on_read callbacks.
464 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
465
4664.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
467 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
468 callbacks.
469 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
470 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
471 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
472 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
473 Event::Lib.
474 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
475 to rarely fail.
476
4774.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
478 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
479 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
480 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
481 in AnyEvent->io.
482 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
483 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
484 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
485 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
486 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
487 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
488 portable_socketpair.
489 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
490 YMMV.
491
4924.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
493 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
494 uppercase targets.
495 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
496 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
497 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
498 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
499 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
500 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
501 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
502 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
503 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
504 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
505 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
506 in the common case.
507 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
508 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
509 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
510 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
511 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
512 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
513 from the constructor.
514 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
515 then fall back to JSON.
516 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
517 and because it was documented that way.
518
5194.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
520 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
521 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
522
5234.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
524 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
525 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
526 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
527 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
528 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
529 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
530 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
531 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
532 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
533
5344.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
535 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
536 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
537 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
538 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
539 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
540
5414.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
542 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
543 and set it on the default resolver.
544 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
545 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
546 when running in tainted mode.
547 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
548
5494.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
550 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
551
5524.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
553 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
554 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
555 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
556 destructors.
557 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
558 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
559 implementation.
560 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
561 for cosmetic reasons.
562
5634.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
564 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
565 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
566 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
567 - sped up Tk timer handling.
568 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
569 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
570 - fix Qt timers without interval.
571 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
572
5734.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
574 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
575 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
576 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
577
5784.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
579 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
580 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
581 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
582 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
583
5844.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
585 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
586 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
587 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
588 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
589 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
590 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
591 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
592 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
593 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
594 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
595 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
596
5974.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
598 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
599 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
600 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
601 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
602 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
603 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
604 backend.
605 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
606
6074.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
608 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
609 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
610 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
611 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
612 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
613 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
614
6154.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
616 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
617 illegal.
618 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
619 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
620 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
621 by Adam Rosenstein).
622 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
623 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
624 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
625
6264.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
627 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
628 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
629 the socket type.
630 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
631
6324.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
633 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
634 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
635 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
636 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
637 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
638 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
639
6404.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
641 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
642 unless one has been installed already.
643 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
644 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
4 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle: 645 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle.

7 otherwise hang. (Reported and analyzed in an absolutely 648 otherwise hang. (reported and analysed in an absolutely
8 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein). 649 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
9 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated 650 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
10 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state. 651 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
11 (Reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam 652 (reported and analysed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
12 Rosenstein). 653 Rosenstein).
13 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context 654 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
14 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) - 655 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
15 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever. 656 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
16 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode. 657 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
17 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify 658 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify

660 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
661 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
19 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account. 662 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
20 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster 663 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
21 now, more to come, though. 664 now, more to come, though.
665 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
