2 2
3TODO: inet_aton does not actually deliver ipv6 addresses
4 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
5 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
6 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
7 when passing scalar data to extensions).
8 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
9
105.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
11 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
12 (spotted by David Friedland).
13 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
14 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
15 unless you rip out everything but the core).
16 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
17 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
18
195.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
20 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
21 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
22 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
23 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
24 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
25
265.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
27 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
28 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
29 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
30 (analysed by elmex).
31
325.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
33 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
34 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
35 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
36 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
37 AnyEvent::Handle.
38 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
39 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
40 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
41 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
42
435.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
44 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
45 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
46 by Michael S. Fischer).
47 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
48 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
49 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
50 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
51 by default.
52 - fix some prototypes.
53 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
54 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
55
565.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
57 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
58 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
59 - port to broken win32 perls.
60
615.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
62 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
63 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
64 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
65 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
66 OSes as well).
67
685.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
69 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
70 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
71 to reduce dependency on JSON.
72
735.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
74 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
75 one (was broken since 4.91).
76 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
77 when retrying a tcp_connect.
78 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
79 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
80
815.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
82 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
83
845.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
85 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
86 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
87 in AnyEvent::Handle.
88 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
89 settings.
90 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
91 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
92 exporting the probe function).
93 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
94 code to work around it's watcher limits.
95 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
96 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
97 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
98 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
99 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
100
1014.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
102 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
103 already contains some TLS handshake.
104 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
105 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
106 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
107 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
108 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
109
1104.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
111 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
112 a negative value, so avoid that.
113 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
114 after the condition is already signalled.
115 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
116 data.
117 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
118 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
119 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
120 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
121 any issues).
122 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
123 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
124 by name (not name or number).
125 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
126 only compiling signal code when necessary.
127 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
128 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
129 said future/alternative API.
130 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
131
1324.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
133 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
134 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
135 (analysed by elmex).
136
1374.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
138 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
139 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
140 for errors after every push_write etc.
141 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
142 platforms.
143
1444.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
145 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
146 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
147 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
148 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
149 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
150 tutorial accordingly.
151 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
152
1534.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
154 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
155 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
156 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
157 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
158 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
159 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
160 in IO::Async.
161
1624.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
163 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
164 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
165 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
166 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
167 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
168 documentation.
169 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
170 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
171 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
172 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
173 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
174 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
175
1764.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
177 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
178 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
179 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
180 this trap.
181 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
182 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
183 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
184 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
185 on_read callbacks.
186 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
187
1884.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
189 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
190 callbacks.
191 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
192 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
193 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
194 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
195 Event::Lib.
196 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
197 to rarely fail.
198
1994.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
200 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
201 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
202 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
203 in AnyEvent->io.
204 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
205 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
206 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
207 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
208 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
209 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
210 portable_socketpair.
211 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
212 YMMV.
213
2144.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
215 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
216 uppercase targets.
217 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
218 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
219 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
220 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
221 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
222 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
223 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
224 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
225 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
226 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
227 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
228 in the common case.
229 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
230 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
231 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
232 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
233 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
234 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
235 from the constructor.
236 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
237 then fall back to JSON.
238 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
239 and because it was documented that way.
240
2414.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
242 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
243 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
244
2454.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
246 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
247 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
248 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
249 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
250 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
251 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
252 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
253 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
254 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
255
2564.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
257 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
258 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
259 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
260 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
261 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
262
2634.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
264 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
265 and set it on the default resolver.
266 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
267 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
268 when running in tainted mode.
269 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
270
2714.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
272 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
273
2744.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
275 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
276 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
277 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
278 destructors.
279 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
280 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
281 implementation.
282 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
283 for cosmetic reasons.
284
2854.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
286 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
287 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
288 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
289 - sped up Tk timer handling.
290 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
291 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
292 - fix Qt timers without interval.
293 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
294
2954.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
296 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
297 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
298 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
299
3004.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
301 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
302 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
303 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
304 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
305
3064.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
307 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
308 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
309 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
310 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
311 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
312 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
313 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
314 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
315 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
316 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
317 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
318
3194.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
320 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
321 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
322 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
323 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
324 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
325 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
326 backend.
327 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
328
3294.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
330 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
331 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
332 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
333 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
334 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
335 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
336
3374.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
338 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
339 illegal.
3 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend 340 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
4 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle. 341 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
5 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported 342 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
6 by Adam Rosenstein). 343 by Adam Rosenstein).
344 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
345 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
346 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
7 347
84.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008 3484.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
9 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support 349 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
10 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for 350 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
11 the socket type. 351 the socket type.
25 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough 365 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
26 (patch by Adam Rosenstein). 366 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
27 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle: 367 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
28 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the 368 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
29 client would first wait for some data by the server and 369 client would first wait for some data by the server and
30 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely 370 otherwise hang. (reported and analysed in an absolutely
31 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein). 371 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
32 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated 372 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
33 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state. 373 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
34 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam 374 (reported and analysed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
35 Rosenstein). 375 Rosenstein).
36 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context 376 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
37 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) - 377 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
38 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever. 378 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
39 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode. 379 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
