3 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
4 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
5
64.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
7 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
8 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
9 (analyzed by elmex).
10
114.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
12 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
13 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
14 for errors after every push_write etc.
15 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
16 platforms.
17
184.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
19 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
20 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
21 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
22 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
23 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
24 tutorial accordingly.
25 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
26
274.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
28 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
29 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
30 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
31 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
32 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
33 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
34 in IO::Async.
35
364.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
37 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
38 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
39 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
40 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
41 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
42 documentation.
43 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
44 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
45 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
46 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
47 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
48 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
49
504.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
51 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
52 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
53 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
54 this trap.
55 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
56 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
57 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
58 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
59 on_read callbacks.
60 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
61
624.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
63 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
64 callbacks.
65 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
66 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
67 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
68 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
69 Event::Lib.
70 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
71 to rarely fail.
72
734.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
74 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
75 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
76 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
77 in AnyEvent->io.
78 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
79 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
80 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
81 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
82 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
83 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
84 portable_socketpair.
85 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
86 YMMV.
87
884.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
89 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
90 uppercase targets.
91 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
92 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
93 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
94 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
95 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
96 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
97 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
98 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
99 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
100 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
101 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
102 in the common case.
103 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
104 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
105 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
106 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
107 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
108 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
109 from the constructor.
110 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
111 then fall back to JSON.
112 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
113 and because it was documented that way.
114
1154.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
116 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
117 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
118
1194.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
120 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
121 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
122 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
123 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
124 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
125 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
126 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
127 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
128 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
129
1304.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
131 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
132 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
133 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
134 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
135 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
136
1374.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
138 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
139 and set it on the default resolver.
140 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
141 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
142 when running in tainted mode.
143 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
144
1454.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
146 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
147
1484.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
149 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
150 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
151 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
152 destructors.
153 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
154 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
155 implementation.
156 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
157 for cosmetic reasons.
158
1594.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
160 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
161 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
162 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
163 - sped up Tk timer handling.
164 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
165 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
166 - fix Qt timers without interval.
167 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
168
1694.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
170 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
171 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
172 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
173
1744.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
175 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
176 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
177 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
178 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
179
1804.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
181 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
182 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
183 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
184 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
185 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
186 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
187 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
188 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
189 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
190 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
191 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
192
1934.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
194 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
195 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
196 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
197 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
198 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
199 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
200 backend.
201 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
202
2034.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
204 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
205 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
206 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
207 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
208 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
209 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
210
2114.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
212 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
213 illegal.
214 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
215 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
216 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
217 by Adam Rosenstein).
218 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
219 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
220 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
221
2224.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
223 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
224 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
225 the socket type.
226 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
227
2284.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
229 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
230 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
231 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
232 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
233 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
234 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.

34.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008 2364.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
4 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE, 237 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
5 unless one has been installed already. 238 unless one has been installed already.
6 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough 239 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
