2
3 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
4 in AnyEvent::Handle.
5 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV is the backend.
6
74.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
8 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
9 already contains some TLS handshake.
10 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
11 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
12 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
13 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
14 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
15
164.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
17 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
18 a negative value, so avoid that.
19 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
20 after the condition is already signalled.
21 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
22 data.
23 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
24 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
25 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
26 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
27 any issues).
28 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
29 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
30 by name (not name or number).
31 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
32 only compiling signal code when necessary.
33 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
34 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
35 said future/alternative API.
36 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
37
384.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
39 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
40 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
41 (analyzed by elmex).
42
434.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
44 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
45 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
46 for errors after every push_write etc.
47 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
48 platforms.
49
504.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
51 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
52 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
53 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
54 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
55 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
56 tutorial accordingly.
57 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
58
594.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
60 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
61 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
62 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
63 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
64 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
65 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
66 in IO::Async.
67
684.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
69 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
70 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
71 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
72 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
73 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
74 documentation.
75 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
76 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
77 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
78 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
79 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
80 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
81
824.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
83 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
84 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
85 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
86 this trap.
87 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
88 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
89 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
90 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
91 on_read callbacks.
92 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
93
944.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
95 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
96 callbacks.
97 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
98 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
99 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
100 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
101 Event::Lib.
102 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
103 to rarely fail.
104
1054.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
106 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
107 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
108 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
109 in AnyEvent->io.
110 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
111 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
112 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
113 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
114 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
115 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
116 portable_socketpair.
117 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
118 YMMV.
119
1204.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
121 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
122 uppercase targets.
123 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
124 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
125 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
126 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
127 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
128 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
129 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
130 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
131 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
132 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
133 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
134 in the common case.
135 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
136 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
137 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
138 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
139 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
140 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
141 from the constructor.
142 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
143 then fall back to JSON.
144 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
145 and because it was documented that way.
146
1474.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
148 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
149 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
150
1514.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
152 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
153 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
154 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
155 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
156 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
157 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
158 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
159 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
160 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
161
1624.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
163 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
164 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
165 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
166 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
167 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
168
1694.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
170 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
171 and set it on the default resolver.
172 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
173 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
174 when running in tainted mode.
175 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
176
1774.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
178 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
179
1804.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
181 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
182 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
183 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
184 destructors.
185 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
186 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
187 implementation.
188 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
189 for cosmetic reasons.
190
1914.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
192 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
193 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
194 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
195 - sped up Tk timer handling.
196 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
197 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
198 - fix Qt timers without interval.
199 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
200
2014.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
202 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
203 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
204 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
205
2064.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
207 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
208 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
209 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
210 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
211
2124.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
213 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
214 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
215 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
216 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
217 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
218 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
219 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
220 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
221 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
222 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
223 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
224
2254.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
226 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
227 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
228 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
229 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
230 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
231 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
232 backend.
233 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
