1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2 2
3 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
4 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
5 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
6 when passing scalar data to extensions).
7
85.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
9 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
10 (spotted by David Friedland).
11 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
12 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
13 unless you rip out everything but the core).
14 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
15 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
16
175.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
18 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
19 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
20 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
21 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
22 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
23
245.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
25 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
26 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
27 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
28 (analysed by elmex).
29
305.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
31 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
32 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
33 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
34 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
35 AnyEvent::Handle.
36 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
37 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
38 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
39 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
40
415.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
42 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
43 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
44 by Michael S. Fischer).
45 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
46 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
47 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
48 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
49 by default.
50 - fix some prototypes.
51 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
52 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
53
545.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
55 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
56 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
57 - port to broken win32 perls.
58
595.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
60 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
61 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
62 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
63 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
64 OSes as well).
65
665.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
67 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
68 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
69 to reduce dependency on JSON.
70
715.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
72 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
73 one (was broken since 4.91).
74 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
75 when retrying a tcp_connect.
76 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
77 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
78
795.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
80 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
81
825.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
83 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
84 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
85 in AnyEvent::Handle.
86 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
87 settings.
88 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
89 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
90 exporting the probe function).
91 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
92 code to work around it's watcher limits.
93 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
94 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
95 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
96 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
97 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
98
994.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
100 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
101 already contains some TLS handshake.
102 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
103 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
104 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
105 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
106 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
107
1084.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
109 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
110 a negative value, so avoid that.
111 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
112 after the condition is already signalled.
113 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
114 data.
115 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
116 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
117 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
118 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
119 any issues).
120 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
121 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
122 by name (not name or number).
123 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
124 only compiling signal code when necessary.
125 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
126 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
127 said future/alternative API.
128 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
129
1304.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
131 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
132 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
133 (analysed by elmex).
134
1354.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
136 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
137 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
138 for errors after every push_write etc.
139 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
140 platforms.
141
1424.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
143 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
144 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
145 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
146 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
147 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
148 tutorial accordingly.
149 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
150
1514.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
152 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
153 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
154 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
155 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
156 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
157 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
158 in IO::Async.
159
1604.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
161 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
162 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
163 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
164 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
165 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
166 documentation.
167 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
168 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
169 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
170 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
171 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
172 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
173
1744.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
175 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
176 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
177 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
178 this trap.
179 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
180 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
181 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
182 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
183 on_read callbacks.
184 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
185
1864.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
187 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
188 callbacks.
189 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
190 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
191 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
192 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
193 Event::Lib.
194 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
195 to rarely fail.
196
1974.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
198 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
199 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
200 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
201 in AnyEvent->io.
202 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
203 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
204 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
205 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
206 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
207 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
208 portable_socketpair.
209 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
210 YMMV.
211
2124.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
213 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
214 uppercase targets.
215 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
216 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
217 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
218 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
219 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
220 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
221 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
222 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
223 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
224 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
225 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
226 in the common case.
227 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
228 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
229 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
230 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
231 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
232 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
233 from the constructor.
234 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
235 then fall back to JSON.
236 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
237 and because it was documented that way.
238
2394.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
240 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
241 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
242
2434.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
244 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
245 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
246 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
247 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
248 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
249 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
250 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
251 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
252 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
253
2544.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
255 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
256 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
257 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
258 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
259 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
260
2614.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
262 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
263 and set it on the default resolver.
264 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
265 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
266 when running in tainted mode.
267 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
268
2694.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
270 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
271
2724.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
273 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
274 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
275 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
276 destructors.
277 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
278 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
279 implementation.
280 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
281 for cosmetic reasons.
282
2834.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
284 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
285 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
286 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
287 - sped up Tk timer handling.
288 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
289 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
290 - fix Qt timers without interval.
291 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
292
2934.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
294 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
295 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
296 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
297
2984.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
299 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
300 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
301 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
302 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
303
3044.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
305 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
306 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
307 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
308 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
309 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
310 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
311 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
312 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
313 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
314 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
315 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
316
3174.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
318 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
319 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
320 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
321 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
322 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
323 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
324 backend.
325 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
326
3274.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
328 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
329 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
330 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
331 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
332 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
333 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
334
3354.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
336 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
337 illegal.
338 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
339 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
340 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
341 by Adam Rosenstein).
342 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
343 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
344 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
345
3464.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
347 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
348 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
349 the socket type.
350 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
351
3524.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
3 - implement AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method. 353 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
4 - hint about unexpected effects in tls mode. 354 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
355 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
356 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
357 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
358 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
5 359
64.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008 3604.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
7 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE, 361 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
8 unless one has been installed already. 362 unless one has been installed already.
9 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough 363 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough

11 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle: 365 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
12 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the 366 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
13 client would first wait for some data by the server and 367 client would first wait for some data by the server and
14 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely 368 otherwise hang. (reported and analysed in an absolutely
15 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein). 369 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
16 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated 370 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
17 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state. 371 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.

19 Rosenstein). 373 Rosenstein).
20 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context 374 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
21 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) - 375 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
22 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever. 376 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
23 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode. 377 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
