4 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
5 in AnyEvent::Handle.
6 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
7 settings.
8 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
9 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
10 exporting the probe function).
11 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
12 code to work around it's watcher limits.
13 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
14 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
15 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
16 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV is the backend.
17 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
18
194.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
20 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
21 already contains some TLS handshake.
22 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
23 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
24 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
25 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
26 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
27
284.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
29 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
30 a negative value, so avoid that.
31 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
32 after the condition is already signalled.
33 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
34 data.
35 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
36 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
37 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
38 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
39 any issues).
40 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
41 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
42 by name (not name or number).
43 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
44 only compiling signal code when necessary.
45 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
46 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
47 said future/alternative API.
48 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
49
504.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
51 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
52 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
53 (analyzed by elmex).
54
554.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
56 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
57 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
58 for errors after every push_write etc.
59 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
60 platforms.
61
624.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
63 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
64 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
65 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
66 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
67 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
68 tutorial accordingly.
69 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
70
714.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
72 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
73 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
74 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
75 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
76 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
77 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
78 in IO::Async.
79
804.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
81 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
82 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
83 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
84 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
85 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
86 documentation.
87 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
88 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
89 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
90 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
91 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
92 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
93
944.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
95 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
96 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
97 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
98 this trap.
99 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
100 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
101 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
102 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
103 on_read callbacks.
104 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
105
1064.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
107 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
108 callbacks.
109 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
110 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
111 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
112 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
113 Event::Lib.
114 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
115 to rarely fail.
116
1174.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
118 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
119 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
120 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
121 in AnyEvent->io.
122 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
123 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
124 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
125 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
126 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
127 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
128 portable_socketpair.
129 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
130 YMMV.
131
1324.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
133 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
134 uppercase targets.
135 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
136 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
137 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
138 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
139 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
140 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
141 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
142 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
143 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
144 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
145 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
146 in the common case.
147 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
148 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
149 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
150 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
151 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
152 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
153 from the constructor.
154 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
155 then fall back to JSON.
156 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
157 and because it was documented that way.
158
1594.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
160 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
161 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
162
1634.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
164 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
165 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
166 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
167 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
168 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
169 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
170 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
171 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
172 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
173
1744.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
175 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
176 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
177 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
178 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
179 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
180
1814.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
182 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
183 and set it on the default resolver.
184 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
185 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
186 when running in tainted mode.
187 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
188
1894.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
190 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
191
1924.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
193 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
194 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
195 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
196 destructors.
197 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
198 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
199 implementation.
200 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
201 for cosmetic reasons.
202
2034.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
204 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
205 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
206 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
207 - sped up Tk timer handling.
208 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
209 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
210 - fix Qt timers without interval.
211 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
212
2134.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
214 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
215 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
216 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
217
2184.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
219 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
220 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
221 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
222 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
223
2244.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
225 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
226 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
227 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
228 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
229 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
230 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
231 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
232 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
233 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
234 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
235 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
236
2374.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
238 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
239 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
240 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
241 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
242 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
243 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
244 backend.
245 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
246
2474.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
248 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
249 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
250 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
251 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
252 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
253 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
254
2554.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
256 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
257 illegal.
3 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend 258 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
4 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle. 259 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
5 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported 260 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
6 by Adam Rosenstein). 261 by Adam Rosenstein).
262 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
263 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
264 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
7 265
84.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008 2664.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
9 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support 267 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
10 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for 268 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
11 the socket type. 269 the socket type.
