2 2
3TODO: document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER
4TODO: maybe remove orderign description and make this a private feature?
5TODO: anyevenmt_read_type for unshift_read
6TODO: condvar->new method is documented and should be there.
7TODO: http://github.com/sanko/net-bittorrent/commit/e1d06941d7217011f5f06ce7152012d5e1b44b9a
8TODO: check for -w? somehow?
9 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
10 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
11 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
12 resulting in more informative error messages.
13
145.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
15 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
16
175.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
18 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
19 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
20 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
21 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
22 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
23 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
24 - better/more condvar examples.
25
265.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
27 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
28 time (found by Andy Grundman).
29
305.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
31 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
32 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
33 by Bas Denissen).
34 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
35 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
36 EV and Perl backends.
37 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
38 backends.
39 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
40 never documented nor universally supported).
41 - some more memory µ-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
42 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
43
445.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
45 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
46 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
47 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
48
495.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
50 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
51 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
52 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
53 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
54 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
55 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
56 by lucky accident on win32.
57 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
58 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
59 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
60 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
61 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
62 detection and eval.
63 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
64 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
65 (same algorithm as EV).
66 - update unicode idna mapping table.
67
685.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
69 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
70 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
71 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
72 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
73
745.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
75 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
76 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
77 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
78 - provide $AE::VERSION.
79 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
80
815.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
82 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
83 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
84 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
85 when passing scalar data to extensions).
86 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
87 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
88 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
89 (John Beppu).
90 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
91 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
92 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
93 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
94
955.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
96 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
97 (spotted by David Friedland).
98 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
99 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
100 unless you rip out everything but the core).
101 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
102 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
103
1045.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
105 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
106 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
107 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
108 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
109 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
110
1115.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
112 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
113 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
114 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
115 (analysed by elmex).
116
1175.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
118 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
119 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
120 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
121 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
122 AnyEvent::Handle.
123 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
124 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
125 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
126 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
127
1285.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
129 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
130 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
131 by Michael S. Fischer).
132 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
133 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
134 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
135 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
136 by default.
137 - fix some prototypes.
138 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
139 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
140
1415.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
142 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
143 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
144 - port to broken win32 perls.
145
1465.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
147 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
148 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
149 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
150 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
151 OSes as well).
152
1535.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
154 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
155 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
156 to reduce dependency on JSON.
157
1585.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
159 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
160 one (was broken since 4.91).
161 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
162 when retrying a tcp_connect.
163 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
164 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
165
1665.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
167 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
168
1695.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
170 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
171 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
172 in AnyEvent::Handle.
173 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
174 settings.
175 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
176 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
177 exporting the probe function).
178 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
179 code to work around it's watcher limits.
180 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
181 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
182 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
183 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
184 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
185
1864.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
187 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
188 already contains some TLS handshake.
189 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
190 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
191 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
192 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
193 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
194
1954.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
196 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
197 a negative value, so avoid that.
198 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
199 after the condition is already signalled.
200 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
201 data.
202 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
203 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
204 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
205 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
206 any issues).
207 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
208 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
209 by name (not name or number).
210 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
211 only compiling signal code when necessary.
212 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
213 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
214 said future/alternative API.
215 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
216
2174.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
218 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
219 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
220 (analysed by elmex).
221
2224.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
223 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
224 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
225 for errors after every push_write etc.
226 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
227 platforms.
228
2294.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
230 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
231 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
232 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
233 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
234 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
235 tutorial accordingly.
236 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
237
2384.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
239 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
240 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
241 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
242 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
243 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
244 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
245 in IO::Async.
246
2474.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
248 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
249 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
250 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
251 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
252 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
253 documentation.
254 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
255 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
256 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
257 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
258 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
259 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
260
2614.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
262 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
263 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
264 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
265 this trap.
266 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
267 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
268 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
269 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
270 on_read callbacks.
271 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
272
2734.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
274 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
275 callbacks.
276 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
277 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
278 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
279 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
280 Event::Lib.
281 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
282 to rarely fail.
283
2844.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
285 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
286 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
287 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
288 in AnyEvent->io.
289 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
290 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
291 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
292 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
293 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
294 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
295 portable_socketpair.
296 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
297 YMMV.
298
2994.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
300 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
301 uppercase targets.
302 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
303 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
304 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
305 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
306 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
307 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
308 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
309 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
310 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
311 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
312 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
313 in the common case.
314 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
315 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
316 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
317 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
318 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
319 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
320 from the constructor.
321 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
322 then fall back to JSON.
323 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
324 and because it was documented that way.
325
3264.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
327 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
328 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
329
3304.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
331 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
332 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
333 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
334 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
335 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
336 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
337 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
338 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
339 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
340
3414.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
342 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
343 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
344 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
345 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
346 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
347
3484.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
349 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
350 and set it on the default resolver.
351 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
352 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
353 when running in tainted mode.
354 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
355
3564.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
357 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
358
3594.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
360 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
361 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
362 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
363 destructors.
364 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
365 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
366 implementation.
367 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
368 for cosmetic reasons.
369
3704.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
371 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
372 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
373 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
374 - sped up Tk timer handling.
375 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
376 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
377 - fix Qt timers without interval.
378 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
379
3804.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
381 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
382 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
383 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
384
3854.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
386 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
387 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
388 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
389 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
390
3914.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
392 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
393 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
394 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
395 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
396 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
397 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
398 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
399 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
400 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
401 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
402 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
403
4044.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
405 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
406 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
407 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
408 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
409 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
410 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
411 backend.
412 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
413
4144.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
415 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
416 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
417 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
418 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
419 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
420 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
421
4224.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
423 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
424 illegal.
3 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend 425 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
4 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle. 426 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
5 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported 427 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
6 by Adam Rosenstein). 428 by Adam Rosenstein).
7 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result 429 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
254.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008 4474.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
26 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE, 448 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
27 unless one has been installed already. 449 unless one has been installed already.
28 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough 450 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
29 (patch by Adam Rosenstein). 451 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
30 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle: 452 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle.
31 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the 453 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
32 client would first wait for some data by the server and 454 client would first wait for some data by the server and
33 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely 455 otherwise hang. (reported and analysed in an absolutely
34 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein). 456 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
35 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated 457 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
36 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state. 458 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
