3TODO: release a:i 1.0
4 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
5 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
6
74.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
8 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
9 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
10 (analyzed by elmex).
11
124.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
13 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
14 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
15 for errors after every push_write etc.
16 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
17 platforms.
18
194.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
20 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
21 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
22 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
23 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
24 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
25 tutorial accordingly.
26 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
27
284.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
29 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
30 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
31 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
32 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
33 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
34 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
35 in IO::Async.
36
374.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
38 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
39 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
40 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
41 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
42 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
43 documentation.
44 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
45 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
46 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
47 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
48 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
49 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
50
514.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
52 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
53 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
54 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
55 this trap.
56 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
57 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
58 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
59 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
60 on_read callbacks.
61 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
62
634.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
64 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
65 callbacks.
66 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
67 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
68 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
69 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
70 Event::Lib.
71 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
72 to rarely fail.
73
744.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
75 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
76 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
77 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
78 in AnyEvent->io.
79 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
80 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
81 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
82 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
83 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
84 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
85 portable_socketpair.
86 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
87 YMMV.
88
894.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
90 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
91 uppercase targets.
92 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
93 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
94 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
95 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
96 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
97 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
98 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
99 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
100 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
101 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
102 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
103 in the common case.
104 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
105 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
106 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
107 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
108 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
109 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
110 from the constructor.
111 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
112 then fall back to JSON.
113 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
114 and because it was documented that way.
115
1164.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
117 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
118 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
119
1204.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
121 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
122 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
123 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
124 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
125 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
126 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
127 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
128 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
129 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
130
1314.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
132 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
133 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
134 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
135 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
136 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
137
1384.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
139 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
140 and set it on the default resolver.
141 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
142 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
143 when running in tainted mode.
144 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
145
1464.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
147 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
148
1494.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
150 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
151 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
152 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
153 destructors.
154 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
155 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
156 implementation.
157 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
158 for cosmetic reasons.
159
1604.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
161 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
162 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
163 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
164 - sped up Tk timer handling.
165 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
166 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
167 - fix Qt timers without interval.
168 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
169
1704.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
171 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
172 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
173 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
174
1754.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
176 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
177 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
178 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
179 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
180
1814.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
182 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
183 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
184 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
185 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
186 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
187 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
188 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
189 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
190 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
191 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
192 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
193
1944.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
195 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
196 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
197 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
198 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
199 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
200 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
201 backend.
202 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
203
2044.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
205 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
206 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
207 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
208 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
209 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
210 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
211
2124.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
213 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
214 illegal.
215 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
216 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
217 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
218 by Adam Rosenstein).
219 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
220 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
221 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
222
2234.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
224 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
225 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
226 the socket type.
227 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.

34.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008 2294.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
4 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method. 230 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
5 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode. 231 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
