34.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
4 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
5 already contains some TLS handshake.
6 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
7 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
8 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
9 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
10 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
11
124.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
13 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
14 a negative value, so avoid that.
15 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
16 after the condition is already signalled.
17 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
18 data.
19 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
20 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
21 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
22 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
23 any issues).
24 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
25 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
26 by name (not name or number).
27 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
28 only compiling signal code when necessary.
29 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
30 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
31 said future/alternative API.
32 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
33
344.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
35 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
36 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
37 (analyzed by elmex).
38
394.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
40 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
41 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
42 for errors after every push_write etc.
43 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
44 platforms.
45
464.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
47 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
48 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
49 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
50 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
51 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
52 tutorial accordingly.
53 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
54
554.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
56 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
57 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
58 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
59 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
60 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
61 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
62 in IO::Async.
63
644.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
65 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
66 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
67 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
68 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
69 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
70 documentation.
71 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
72 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
73 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
74 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
75 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
76 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
77
784.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
79 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
80 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
81 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
82 this trap.
83 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
84 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
85 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
86 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
87 on_read callbacks.
88 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
89
904.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
91 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
92 callbacks.
93 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
94 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
95 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
96 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
97 Event::Lib.
98 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
99 to rarely fail.
100
1014.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
102 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
103 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
104 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
105 in AnyEvent->io.
106 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
107 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
108 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
109 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
110 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
111 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
112 portable_socketpair.
113 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
114 YMMV.
115
1164.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
117 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
118 uppercase targets.
119 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
120 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
121 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
122 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
123 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
124 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
125 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
126 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
127 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
128 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
129 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
130 in the common case.
131 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
132 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
133 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
134 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
135 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
136 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
137 from the constructor.
138 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
139 then fall back to JSON.
140 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
141 and because it was documented that way.
142
1434.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
144 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
145 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
146
1474.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
148 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
149 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
150 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
151 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
152 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
153 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
154 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
155 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
156 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
157
1584.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
159 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
160 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
161 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
162 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
163 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
164
1654.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
166 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
167 and set it on the default resolver.
168 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
169 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
170 when running in tainted mode.
171 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
172
1734.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
174 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
175
1764.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
177 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
178 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
179 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
180 destructors.
181 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
182 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
183 implementation.
184 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
185 for cosmetic reasons.
186
1874.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
188 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
189 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
190 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
191 - sped up Tk timer handling.
192 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
193 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
194 - fix Qt timers without interval.
195 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
196
1974.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
198 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
199 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
200 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
201
2024.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
203 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
204 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
205 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
206 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
207
2084.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
209 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
210 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
211 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
212 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
213 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
214 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
215 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
216 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
217 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
218 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
219 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
220
2214.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
222 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
223 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
224 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
225 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
226 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
227 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
228 backend.
229 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
230
2314.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
232 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
233 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
234 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
235 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
236 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
237 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
238
2394.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
240 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
241 illegal.
3 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend 242 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
4 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle. 243 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
5 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported 244 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
6 by Adam Rosenstein). 245 by Adam Rosenstein).
246 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
247 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
248 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
7 249
84.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008 2504.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
9 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support 251 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
10 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for 252 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
11 the socket type. 253 the socket type.
