1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2 2
32.0 3 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
4
54.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
6 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
7 illegal.
8 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
9 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
10 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
11 by Adam Rosenstein).
12 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
13 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
14 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
15
164.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
17 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
18 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
19 the socket type.
20 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
21
224.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
23 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
24 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
25 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
26 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
27 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
28 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
29
304.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
31 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
32 unless one has been installed already.
33 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
34 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
35 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
36 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
37 client would first wait for some data by the server and
38 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
39 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
40 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
41 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
42 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
43 Rosenstein).
44 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
45 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
46 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
47 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
48 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
49 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
50 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
51 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
52 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
53 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
54 now, more to come, though.
55 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
56
574.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
58 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
59 no trace events.
60 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
61 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
62 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
63 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
64 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
65 Time::HiRes).
66
674.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
68 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
69 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
70
714.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
72 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
73 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
74 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
75 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
76
774.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
78 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
79 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
80 perls without resource leaks or worse).
81
824.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
83 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
84 the callback.
85 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
86 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
87 eol marker.
88 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
89 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
90 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
91
924.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
93 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
94 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
95 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
96 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
97 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
98
994.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
100 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
101 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
102 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
103 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
104 unusable way.
105 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
106 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
107 K. Sharifulin).
108
1094.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
110 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
111 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
112 be delayed under some circumstances.
113 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
114 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
115 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
116 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
117 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
118 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
119
1204.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
121 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
122 assumption that all data could be written before read
123 (reported by Jim Razmus).
124
1254.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
126 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
127 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
128 implementation (also affected child watchers).
129 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
130
1314.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
132 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
133 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
134 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
135
1364.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
137 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
138 works.
139
1404.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
141 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
142 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
143 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
144 for AnyEvent::Handle.
145 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
146 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
147
1484.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
149 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
150 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
151 executing the guard block as warnings.
152 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
153
1544.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
155 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
156 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
157 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
158 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
159 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
160 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
161 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
162 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
163 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
164 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
165 enter an endless loop.
166 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
167 busy again after idling.
168 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
169 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
170 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
171 (hopefully).
172 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
173 away any time.
174
1754.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
176 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
177 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
178 - allow more options in on_error.
179
1804.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
181 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
182 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
183 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
184 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
185 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
186 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
187 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
188 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
189 rfc 2782.
190 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
191 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
192 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
193 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
194 could die. this has been fixed.
195 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
196 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
197 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
198 for resolver class.
199 - update version numbers in all modules.
200
2014.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
202 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
203 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
204 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
205 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
206 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
207 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
208 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
209 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
210 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
211 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
212 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
213 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
214 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
215 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
216 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
217 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
218 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
219 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
220 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
221 but EV also works around this).
222 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
223 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
224 vs. callback arguments.
225 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
226
2274.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
228 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
229 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
230 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
231 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
232
2334.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
234 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
235 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
236 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
237 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
238 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
239 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
240 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
241 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
242 sake of perl 5.8.
243 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
244 (still a hack...)
245 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
246 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
247 die handlers.
248
2494.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
250 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
251 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
252 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
253 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
254 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
255 - updated documentation.
256 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
257 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
258 in AnyEvent::Handle.
259 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
260 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
261 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
262 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
263
2644.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
265 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
266 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
267 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
268 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
269 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
270 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
271 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
272 verbatim ip addresses.
273 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
274 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
275 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
276 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
277 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
278 become writable until empty.
279 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
280 returns ENOTCONN.
281 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
282 override.
283 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
284
2853.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
286 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
287 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
288 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
289 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
290 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
291 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
292 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
293 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
294 first and second argument.
295 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
296 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
297 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
298 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
299 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
300
3013.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
302 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
303
3043.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
305 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
306 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
307 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
308 (still subject to change).
309 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
310 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
311 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
312 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
313 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
314 via Coro::AnyEvent.
315
3163.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
317 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
318 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
319 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
320 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
321 the different event loops with each other.
322 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
323 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
324 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
325 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
326 kept alive.
327 - document the race between loading of an event module and
328 child processes exiting.
329 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
330 enough, and darn slow).
331 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
332 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
333 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
334 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
335 faster than Event and Glib :).
336 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
337 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
338 to other event loops where possible.
339
3403.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
341 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
342 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
343 for the same fh/poll combo).
344 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
345 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
346 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
347 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
348 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
349
3503.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
351 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
352 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
353 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
354 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
355 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
356 - do not send the signal to the process group
357 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
358
3593.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
360 - major documentation rework.
361 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
362 - fix the child watcher example.
363
3643.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
365 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
366 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
367 don't get fixed anytime soon).
368 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
369 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
370 such strong limits).
371 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
372 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
373 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
374 any restrictions...).
375 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
376
3773.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
378 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
379 up the Coro implementation in general.
380 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
381 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
382 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
383
3842.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
385 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
386
3872.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
388 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
389 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
390
3912.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
392 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
393 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
394 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
395 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
396 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
397 (except when Event or EV are installed).
398
3992.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
400 - fix bug in testsuite.
401 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
402 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
403
4042.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
405 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
406 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
407 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
408
4092.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
410 - work around a perl bug that results in
411 BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
412 any discernible reason or error message by once
413 again not use'ing strict.
414
4152.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
416 - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
417
4182.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
419 - child watchers stopped working permanently when
420 all current child watchers were destroyed.
421
4222.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
423 - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
424 true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
425
4262.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
427 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
428 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
429 - implement signal watchers (experimental)
430 (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
431 so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
432 - implement child watchers (experimental).
433 - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
434 most implementation modules.
435
4362.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
437 - better docs.
438 - simple testsuite.
439 - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
440
4412.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
4 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both. 442 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
5 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore. 443 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
6 - EXPERIMENTAL: 444 - EXPERIMENTAL:
7 new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable 445 new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
8 event model. 446 event model.
35 - fixed documentation. 473 - fixed documentation.
36 - clarified some corner cases. 474 - clarified some corner cases.
37 - vastly improved documentation with a long example. 475 - vastly improved documentation with a long example.
38 476
390.2 Thu Dec 1 22:18:49 CET 2005 4770.2 Thu Dec 1 22:18:49 CET 2005
40 - check wether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops. 478 - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
41 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer). 479 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
42 - don't die when some modules are not available. 480 - don't die when some modules are not available.
