1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2 2
3 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
4 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
5 by lucky accident on win32.
6 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
7 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
8 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
9
105.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
11 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
12 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
13 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
14 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
15
165.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
17 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
18 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
19 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
20 - provide $AE::VERSION.
21 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
22
235.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
24 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
25 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
26 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
27 when passing scalar data to extensions).
28 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
29 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
30 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
31 (John Beppu).
32 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
33 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
34 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
35 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
36
375.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
38 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
39 (spotted by David Friedland).
40 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
41 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
42 unless you rip out everything but the core).
43 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
44 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
45
465.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
47 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
48 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
49 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
50 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
51 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
52
535.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
54 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
55 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
56 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
57 (analysed by elmex).
58
595.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
60 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
61 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
62 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
63 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
64 AnyEvent::Handle.
65 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
66 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
67 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
68 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
69
705.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
71 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
72 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
73 by Michael S. Fischer).
74 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
75 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
76 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
77 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
78 by default.
79 - fix some prototypes.
80 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
81 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
82
835.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
84 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
85 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
86 - port to broken win32 perls.
87
885.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
89 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
90 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
91 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
92 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
93 OSes as well).
94
955.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
96 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
97 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
98 to reduce dependency on JSON.
99
1005.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
101 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
102 one (was broken since 4.91).
103 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
104 when retrying a tcp_connect.
105 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
106 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
107
1085.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
109 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
110
1115.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
112 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
113 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
114 in AnyEvent::Handle.
115 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
116 settings.
117 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
118 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
119 exporting the probe function).
120 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
121 code to work around it's watcher limits.
122 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
123 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
124 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
125 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
126 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
127
1284.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
129 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
130 already contains some TLS handshake.
131 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
132 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
133 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
134 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
135 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
136
1374.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
138 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
139 a negative value, so avoid that.
140 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
141 after the condition is already signalled.
142 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
143 data.
144 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
145 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
146 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
147 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
148 any issues).
149 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
150 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
151 by name (not name or number).
152 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
153 only compiling signal code when necessary.
154 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
155 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
156 said future/alternative API.
157 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
158
1594.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
160 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
161 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
162 (analysed by elmex).
163
1644.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
165 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
166 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
167 for errors after every push_write etc.
168 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
169 platforms.
170
1714.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
172 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
173 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
174 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
175 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
176 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
177 tutorial accordingly.
178 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
179
1804.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
181 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
182 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
183 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
184 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
185 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
186 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
187 in IO::Async.
188
1894.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
190 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
191 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
192 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
193 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
194 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
195 documentation.
196 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
197 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
198 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
199 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
200 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
201 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
202
2034.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
204 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
205 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
206 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
207 this trap.
208 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
209 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
210 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
211 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
212 on_read callbacks.
213 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
214
2154.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
216 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
217 callbacks.
218 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
219 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
220 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
221 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
222 Event::Lib.
223 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
224 to rarely fail.
225
2264.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
227 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
228 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
229 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
230 in AnyEvent->io.
231 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
232 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
233 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
234 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
235 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
236 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
237 portable_socketpair.
238 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
239 YMMV.
240
2414.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
242 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
243 uppercase targets.
244 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
245 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
246 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
247 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
248 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
249 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
250 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
251 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
252 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
253 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
254 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
255 in the common case.
256 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
257 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
258 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
259 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
260 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
261 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
262 from the constructor.
263 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
264 then fall back to JSON.
265 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
266 and because it was documented that way.
267
2684.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
269 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
270 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
271
2724.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
273 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
274 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
275 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
276 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
277 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
278 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
279 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
280 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
281 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
282
2834.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
284 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
285 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
286 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
287 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
288 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
289
2904.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
291 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
292 and set it on the default resolver.
293 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
294 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
295 when running in tainted mode.
296 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
297
2984.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
299 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
300
3014.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
302 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
303 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
304 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
305 destructors.
306 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
307 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
308 implementation.
309 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
310 for cosmetic reasons.
311
3124.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
313 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
314 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
315 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
316 - sped up Tk timer handling.
317 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
318 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
319 - fix Qt timers without interval.
320 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
321
3224.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
323 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
324 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
325 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
326
3274.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
328 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
329 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
330 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
331 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
332
3334.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
334 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
335 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
336 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
337 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
338 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
339 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
340 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
341 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
342 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
343 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
344 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
345
3464.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
347 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
348 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
349 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
350 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
351 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
352 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
353 backend.
354 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
355
3564.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
357 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
358 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
359 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
360 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
361 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
362 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
363
3644.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
365 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
366 illegal.
367 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
368 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
369 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
370 by Adam Rosenstein).
371 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
372 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
373 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
374
3754.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
376 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
377 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
378 the socket type.
379 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
380
3814.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
3 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method. 382 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
4 - hint about unexpected effects in tls mode. 383 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
5 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays 384 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
6 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :) 385 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
386 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
387 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
7 388
84.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008 3894.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
9 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE, 390 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
