2 2
3TODO: leakthing pasth 3 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
4TODO: strict checks for file, and valid fd 4 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
54.341 5 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
6 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
7 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
8 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
9 documentation.

114.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
12 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
13 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
14 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
15 this trap.
16 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
17 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
18 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
19 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
20 on_read callbacks.
21 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
22
234.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
24 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
25 callbacks.
26 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
27 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
28 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
29 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
30 Event::Lib.
31 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
32 to rarely fail.
33
344.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
35 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
36 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
37 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
38 in AnyEvent->io.
39 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
40 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
41 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
42 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
43 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
44 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
45 portable_socketpair.
46 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
47 YMMV.
48
494.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
50 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
51 uppercase targets.
52 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
53 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
54 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
55 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
56 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
57 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
58 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
59 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
60 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
61 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
62 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
63 in the common case.
64 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
65 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
66 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
67 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
68 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
69 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
70 from the constructor.
71 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
72 then fall back to JSON.
73 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
74 and because it was documented that way.
75
764.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
77 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
78 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
79
804.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
81 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
82 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
83 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
84 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
85 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
86 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
87 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
88 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
89 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
90
914.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
92 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
93 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
94 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
95 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
96 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
97
984.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
99 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
100 and set it on the default resolver.
101 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
102 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
103 when running in tainted mode.
104 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
105
1064.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
107 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
108
1094.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
110 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
111 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
112 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
113 destructors.
114 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
115 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
116 implementation.
117 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
118 for cosmetic reasons.
119
1204.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
121 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
122 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
123 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
124 - sped up Tk timer handling.
125 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
126 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
127 - fix Qt timers without interval.
128 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
129
1304.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
131 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
132 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
133 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
134
1354.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
136 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
137 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
138 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
139 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).

8 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own 144 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
9 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make 145 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
10 callback execution synchronous to the event loop. 146 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
147 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
148 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
11 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker. 149 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
12 - document that changing global variables without restoring them 150 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
13 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein). 151 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
152 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.

16 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could 155 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
17 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the 156 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
18 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS). 157 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
