1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2 2
3 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
4 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
5 by lucky accident on win32.
6 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
7 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
8 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
9 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
10 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
11 detection and eval.
12 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
13 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
14 (ame algorithm as EV).
15
165.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
17 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
18 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
19 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
20 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
21
225.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
23 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
24 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
25 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
26 - provide $AE::VERSION.
27 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
28
295.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
30 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
31 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
32 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
33 when passing scalar data to extensions).
34 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
35 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
36 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
37 (John Beppu).
38 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
39 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
40 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
41 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
42
435.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
44 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
45 (spotted by David Friedland).
46 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
47 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
48 unless you rip out everything but the core).
49 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
50 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
51
525.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
53 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
54 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
55 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
56 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
57 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
58
595.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
60 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
61 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
62 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
63 (analysed by elmex).
64
655.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
66 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
67 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
68 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
69 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
70 AnyEvent::Handle.
71 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
72 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
73 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
74 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
75
765.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
77 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
78 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
79 by Michael S. Fischer).
80 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
81 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
82 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
83 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
84 by default.
85 - fix some prototypes.
86 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
87 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
88
895.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
90 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
91 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
92 - port to broken win32 perls.
93
945.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
95 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
96 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
97 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
98 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
99 OSes as well).
100
1015.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
102 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
103 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
104 to reduce dependency on JSON.
105
1065.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
107 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
108 one (was broken since 4.91).
109 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
110 when retrying a tcp_connect.
111 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
112 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
113
1145.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
115 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
116
1175.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
118 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
119 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
120 in AnyEvent::Handle.
121 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
122 settings.
123 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
124 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
125 exporting the probe function).
126 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
127 code to work around it's watcher limits.
128 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
129 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
130 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
131 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
132 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
133
1344.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
135 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
136 already contains some TLS handshake.
137 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
138 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
139 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
140 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
141 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
142
1434.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
144 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
145 a negative value, so avoid that.
146 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
147 after the condition is already signalled.
148 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
149 data.
150 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
151 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
152 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
153 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
154 any issues).
155 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
156 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
157 by name (not name or number).
158 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
159 only compiling signal code when necessary.
160 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
161 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
162 said future/alternative API.
163 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
164
1654.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
166 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
167 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
168 (analysed by elmex).
169
1704.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
171 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
172 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
173 for errors after every push_write etc.
174 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
175 platforms.
176
1774.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
178 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
179 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
180 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
181 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
182 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
183 tutorial accordingly.
184 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
185
1864.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
187 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
188 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
189 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
190 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
191 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
192 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
193 in IO::Async.
194
1954.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
196 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
197 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
198 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
199 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
200 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
201 documentation.
202 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
203 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
204 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
205 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
206 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
207 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
208
2094.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
210 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
211 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
212 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
213 this trap.
214 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
215 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
216 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
217 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
218 on_read callbacks.
219 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
220
2214.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
222 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
223 callbacks.
224 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
225 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
226 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
227 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
228 Event::Lib.
229 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
230 to rarely fail.
231
2324.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
233 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
234 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
235 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
236 in AnyEvent->io.
237 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
238 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
239 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
240 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
241 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
242 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
243 portable_socketpair.
244 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
245 YMMV.
246
2474.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
248 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
249 uppercase targets.
250 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
251 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
252 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
253 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
254 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
255 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
256 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
257 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
258 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
259 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
260 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
261 in the common case.
262 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
263 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
264 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
265 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
266 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
267 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
268 from the constructor.
269 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
270 then fall back to JSON.
271 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
272 and because it was documented that way.
273
2744.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
275 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
276 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
277
2784.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
279 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
280 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
281 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
282 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
283 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
284 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
285 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
286 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
287 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
288
2894.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
290 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
291 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
292 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
293 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
294 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
295
2964.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
297 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
298 and set it on the default resolver.
299 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
300 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
301 when running in tainted mode.
302 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
303
3044.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
305 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
306
3074.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
308 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
309 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
310 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
311 destructors.
312 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
313 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
314 implementation.
315 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
316 for cosmetic reasons.
317
3184.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
319 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
320 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
321 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
322 - sped up Tk timer handling.
323 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
324 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
325 - fix Qt timers without interval.
326 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
327
3284.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
329 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
330 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
331 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
332
3334.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
334 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
335 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
336 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
337 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
338
3394.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
340 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
341 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
342 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
343 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
344 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
345 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
346 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
347 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
348 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
349 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
350 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
351
3524.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
353 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
354 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
355 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
3 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors. 356 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
4 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß). 357 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
5 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl 358 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
6 backend. 359 backend.
7 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl. 360 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
45 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough 398 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
46 (patch by Adam Rosenstein). 399 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
47 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle: 400 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
48 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the 401 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
49 client would first wait for some data by the server and 402 client would first wait for some data by the server and
50 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely 403 otherwise hang. (reported and analysed in an absolutely
51 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein). 404 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
52 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated 405 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
53 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state. 406 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.

56 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context 409 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
57 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) - 410 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
58 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever. 411 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
59 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode. 412 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
