147.14
15 - fix a crash bug in AnyEvent::Handle with openssl 1.1.0 (patched
16 by Paul Howarth and apparently tracked down by Mike McCauley).
17 - AnyEvent::Handle->keepalive was documented (and defined) twice
18 (found by Matt Merhar).
19 - AnyEvent::Socket::tcp_bind/tcp_server would immediately unlink a unix
20 listening socket unless a guard is used. Change this so that no
21 cleanup will be performed unless a guard is used and document this more
22 clearly.
23 - make tcp_bind/tcp_server error messages more regular.
24 - work around latest perl upstream breakage - this time, perl5porters were
25 apparently bullied by a bogus CVE (CVE-2016-1238), and since distros
26 stupidly apply anything that has "security fix" stamped on it, it's likely
27 going to be a problem in practise (and working around it is trivial on
28 windows and unix).
29
307.13 Sat Sep 17 04:31:49 CEST 2016
31 - Only call tlsext_host_name for non-empty common names (reported
32 by Maxime Soulé).
33 - log a (single) notice message if SNI is not supported.
34 - upgrade to UTS-46:9.0.0 draft and switch to non-transitional
35 behaviour, beating thunderbird, ie, edge, chrome and safari to it :)
36 (see also https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1218179)
37 - turns out the UTS-46 IDNA testcase failures were indeed bugs in the
38 testcases and the specification and not in the code - the post-9.0.0
39 unicode files have all known problems fixed, so finally the AnyEvent
40 IDNA implementation can pass the full IDNA testsuite - without needing
41 a single fix :)
42 - guarantee (and document) that condvar callbacks will be removed
43 on invocation - important to avoid circular references.
44
457.12 Wed Jan 27 19:12:26 CET 2016
46 - use common name as hostname for tls connects, if Net::SSLeay
47 supports SNI.
48 - fix documentation of tls_autostart read type in AnyEvent::Handle,
49 analyzed by Felix Ostmann.
50
517.11 Thu Jul 16 14:36:00 CEST 2015
52 - AnyEvent::Socket::parse_ipv6 could accept malformed ipv6
53 addresses (extra "::" at end and similar cases).
54 - add a more explicit warning to AnyEvent::Handle that it doesn't
55 work on files, people keep getting confused.
56 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::tcp_bind.
57 - new functions AnyEvent::fh_block and AnyEvent::fh_unblock.
58 - aligned ipv6 address formatting with RFC 5952 (by not shortening
59 a single :0: to ::).
60 - added stability canary support.
61
627.09 Sat May 2 16:38:53 CEST 2015
63 - AnyEvent::Debug called an internal function (AnyEvent::Log::ft)
64 that was renamed to AnyEvent::Log:format_time. uinder its old name
65 (analyzed by Michael Stovenour).
66 - update AnyEvent::DNS fallback resolver addresses:
67 seems google effectively killed most other free dns resolvers,
68 so remove them, but add cable and wireless (ecrc) since it was
69 stable for 20 years or so, official or not, and there should be
70 an alternative to google.
71 - perl5porters broke windows error codes in 5.20, and mapped
72 WSAEWOULDBLOCK on the (different) EWOULDBLOCK error code, and
73 WSAEINPROGRESS into the incompatible ERINPROGRESS code, probably
74 because they were so cool. They probably broke other error codes
75 for no reason, too, but I didn't care for checking, it's too
76 depressing. This version only works around the WSAEWOULDBLOCK
77 issue, because I don't have a nice way to work around the
78 WSAEINPROGRESS bug.
79
807.08 Wed Dec 10 05:27:17 CET 2014
81 - work around a newly introduced bug in Socket 2.011 (an
82 errornous sun_length check) (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
83 - AnyEvent::TLS didn't load (but refer to) AnyEvent::Socket
84 (analyzed by Ben Magistro).
85 - AnyEvent::Strict will now confess, not croak. This is in line with
86 it being a development/debugging tool.
87 - work around a number of libglib bugs (debug builds of libglib enforce
88 certain undocumented behaviour patterns such as not being able to
89 remove a child watch source after it has fired, which we will try
90 to emulate to avoid "criticals". what where they thinking...).
91 - mention json security issues in AnyEvent::Handle, now that Douglas
92 Crockford has foolishly and incompatibly changed JSON.
93 - changed default dns resolver "max_outstanding" value from 1 to 10,
94 the latter beinfg the intended value all along
95 (reported by Ilya Chesnokov).
96 - added new "AnyEvent::Impl::UV" interface module to the UV event lib
97 (written by Mike Lowell).
98
997.07 Tue Dec 17 17:45:02 CET 2013
100 - the documentation for custom tls verify schemes was wrong. make it agree
101 with the code (reported by Maxime Soulé).
102 - added cbor read and write types to AnyEvent::Handle (using CBOR::XS).
103 - work around an API change in openssl that could cause wrong tls connection
104 aborts, likely on windows only (analyzed by sten).
105 - calling AnyEvent->now_update with AnyEvent::Impl::Perl caused an
106 endless loop (reported by Dietrich Rebmann).
107 - add tlsv1_1 and tlsv1_2 protocols to AnyEvent::TLS
108 (patch by Maxime Soulé).
109 - document AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync::set_loop and
110 $AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync::LOOP. Though only documented now, this
111 functionality has _always_ been available.
112 - force a toplevel domain name in t/81_hosts.t (analyzed by
113 David Jack Wange Olrik).
114 - document that AnyEvent::Log uses AnyEvent::IO.
115 - warn about AnyEvent::Filesys::Notify performance.
116 - praise the joys of AnyEvent::Fork::*.
117 - time for an =encoding directive.
118 - do no longer use JSON to create a default json coder, use
119 JSON::XS or JSON::PP directly.
120
1217.05 Wed Aug 21 10:38:08 CEST 2013
122 - uts46data.pl couldn't be found due to wrong naming of the file
123 (reported by Fulko Hew).
124 - handle lone \015's properly in AE::Handle's default line read
125 (reported by various people).
126 - untaint ip addresses found in /etc/hosts (patch by José Micó).
127 - the memleak fix in 7.03 caused resolving via /etc/hosts to always
128 fail on first use (reported and testcase by Andrew Whatson).
129 - expose AnyEvent::Log::format_time, and allow users to redefine it.
130 - expose AnyEvent::Log::default_format, and allow redefinition.
131 - expose AnyEvent::Log::fatal_exit, to allow redefinition.
132 - AnyEvent::Debug shell can now run coro shell commands, if available.
133 - t/63* tests were wrongly in MANIFEST.
134 - kernel.org's finger server went MIA, switch to freebsd.org and
135 icculus.org.
136 - clarify that IO::AIO and AnyEvent::AIO are needed for AnyEvent::IO
137 to function asynchronously (reported by Daniel Carosone).
138 - hard-disable $^W in most tests, it generates too much garbage output.
139 - use a (hopefully) more future-proof method to emulate common::sense.
140 - upgrade to UTS-46:6.2.0.
141 - switch to INSTLIB from INSTLIBDIR, as INSTLIBDIR was wrongly
142 documented. should not affect anything.
143
1447.04 Thu Nov 15 02:23:58 CET 2012
145 - debugging code left in.
146
1477.03 Thu Nov 15 02:16:11 CET 2012
148 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton did not work when dns resolution was
149 used to find the addresses (analyzed and patch by Maxime Soulé).
150 - fix a memory leak in the /etc/hosts lookup code when hosts don't
151 resolve and are not in hosts (analyzed by sten).
152
1537.02 Tue Aug 14 04:27:58 CEST 2012
154 - AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd could block indefinitely (analyzed and test
155 program by Yorhel).
156 - verified that AnyEvent::Socket follows RFC5952.
157 - try to parse "ADDR#PORT" in addition to "ADDR PORT".
158
1597.01 Sun May 13 01:03:17 CEST 2012
160 - fail with EPROTO in AnyEvent::Handle wqhen TLS is requested but
161 not available, instead of throwing an exception.
162 - use File::Spec to get the tmpdir in t/*, to avoid needless
163 failures on (most, not mine :) windows boxes.
164 - new handle read types: tls_detect and tls_autostart.
165
1667.0 Fri Apr 13 06:33:30 CEST 2012
167 - child watchers are broken in POE 1.352 (also many earlier
168 versions) and there seems to be no way to work around it, as POE
169 itself is inherently racy. Document this regression and add a delay
170 in t/68_poe_03_child.t for the time being.
171 - new module AnyEvent::IO, that is a frontend to either a pure-perl
172 synchronous I/O implementation (AnyEvent::IO::Perl), or to the
173 asynchronous I/O extension IO::AIO (AnyEvent::IO::IOAIO).
174 - load /etc/hosts only when DNS has no answer.
175 - stat /etc/hosts on every access and reload it if it changed.
176 - load /etc/hosts via AnyEvent::IO - potentially asynchronous.
177 - fix a buggy croak in the dh parameter reading in AnyEvent::TLS.
178 - AnyEvent::Log log_to_file and log_to_path now use AnyEvent::IO. As
179 a side effect, they now use true appending as opposed to libc
180 appending, and the file might not have been opened when the function
181 returns.
182 - the default logging level was not properly documented in a variety of
183 places, this has hopefully been rectified.
184 - updated uts46data.pl for unicode 6.1.0.
185 - made log messages generated by AnyEvent submodules not
186 include the package name anymore, as it will be logged
187 by default already.
188 - upgrade to the trick used by common-sense 3.5 to work
189 around extra warning torture/breakage under perl 5.15.x.
190 - log messages by anyevent are now ucfirst, are usually full
191 sentences and do no longer include the package name.
192 - the storable read type would sometimes throw an exception instead
193 of causing EBADMSG (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
194 - work around a bug in openssl 1.0.1 which enforces a minimum rsa
195 keysize (reported by Paul Howarth).
196 - documented Rocco fabricating statements about AnyEvent and me.
197
1986.14 Tue Jan 31 20:00:24 CET 2012
199 - AnyEvent::Impl::Tk was broken due to a mysterious "die" inside,
200 probably an editing mistake (reported by Darin McBride).
201
2026.13 Thu Jan 12 07:27:01 CET 2012
203 - AnyEvent::Util::fork_call checked for POSIX availability in the wrong way,
204 causing it to fail if POSIX wasn't loaded already (analysed by Rock Power).
205 - AnyEvent::Handle::push_read (line => did pass $1 directly, so
206 regex-matching inside the callback would change the parameter, despite
207 $1 being dynamically scoped per-block. this perl bug is now being
208 worked around (testcase by Cindy Wang).
209
2106.12 Mon Dec 12 13:21:10 CET 2011
211 - $! was clobbered by subsequent calls in tcp_connect, due to
212 the postpone not saving/restoring it (analyzed by Richard Garnish).
213
2146.11 Tue Nov 22 10:36:05 CET 2011
215 - Tk cannot create windows when tainted unless you set a title, so
216 set a dummy title for AnyEvent's dummy mainwindow. How dummy.
217 - escape any nonprintable/nonascii characters when stringifying
218 backtraces.
219 - log the reason loading an interface module fails to load at level debug.
220
2216.1 Tue Oct 4 19:44:30 CEST 2011
222 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
223 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
224 to higher log levels to print by default.
225 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
226 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
227 how that module sucks.
228 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
229 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
230 of 127.0.0.1).
231 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
232 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
233 - AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to.
234 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
235 intervals.
236 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
237 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
238 which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
239 delivery.
240 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
241 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
242 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
243 of the context as title.
244 - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback
245 died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging...
246 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
247 to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
248 to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
249 attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
250 AnyEvent.
251
2526.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
253 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
254 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
255 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
256 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
257 to work around.
258 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
259
2606.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011
261 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
262 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
263 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
264 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
265 AnyEvent::Socket.
266 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
267 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
268 methods.
269 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
270 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
271 - DEPRECIATION: please change
272 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
273 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
274 in your programs, for future compatibility.
275 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
276 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
277 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
278 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
279 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
280 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
281 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
282 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
283 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
284 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
285 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
286 a debug shell.
287 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
288 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
289 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
290 /etc/hosts can be found.
291 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
292 configuration.
293 - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
294 PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
295 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
296 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications of $_ by the callback
297 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
298 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
299 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
300 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
301 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
302 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
303 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
304 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
305 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
306 supports /etc/hosts overrides.
307 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
308 and (newly introduced) in POE.
309 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
310 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
311 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
312 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
313 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
314 (reported by Gerald Galster).
315 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
316 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
317 do not support blocking waits.
318 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
319 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
320 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
321 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
322 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
323 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
324 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
325 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
326 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
327 - suppress the idiotic warning inside POE by patching the POE::Kernel
328 run flags instead of asking the user to jump through contortions.
329 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
330 - replace PF_UNSPEC by 0, for good old minix.
331
3326.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)
333
3345.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
335 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
336 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
337 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
338
3395.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
340 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
341 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
342 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
343 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
344 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
345 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
346 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
347 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
348 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
349 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
350 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
351 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
352 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
353
3545.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
355 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
356 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
357 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
358 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
359 documentation for caveats.
360 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
361 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
362 AnyEvent::Handle).
363 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
364 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
365
3665.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
367 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
368 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
369 the availabilty of a default loop!
370 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
371 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
372 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
373 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
374 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
375 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
376 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
377 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
378
3795.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
380 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
381 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
382 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
383 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
384 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
385 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
386 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
387 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
388 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
389 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
390 as part of the perl core.
391 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
392 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
393 minimal perl...).
394
3955.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
396 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
397 actually used in tcp_server.
398 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
399 missing.
400 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
401 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
402 resulting in more informative error messages.
403 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
404 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
405 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
406 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
407 of AnyEvent::TLS.
408 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
409 requested by Ron Isaacson.
410 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
411 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
412 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
413 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
414 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
415
4165.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
417 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
418
4195.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
420 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
421 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
422 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
423 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
424 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
425 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
426 - better/more condvar examples.
427
4285.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
429 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
430 time (found by Andy Grundman).
431
4325.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
433 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
434 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
435 by Bas Denissen).
436 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
437 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
438 EV and Perl backends.
439 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
440 backends.
441 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
442 never documented nor universally supported).
443 - some more memory µ-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
444 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
445
4465.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
447 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
448 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
449 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
450
4515.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
452 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
453 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
454 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
455 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
456 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
457 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
458 by lucky accident on win32.
459 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
460 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
461 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
462 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
463 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
464 detection and eval.
465 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
466 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
467 (same algorithm as EV).
468 - update unicode idna mapping table.
469
4705.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
471 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
472 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
473 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
474 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
475
4765.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
477 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
478 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
479 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
480 - provide $AE::VERSION.
481 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
482
4835.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
484 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
485 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
486 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
487 when passing scalar data to extensions).
488 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
489 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
490 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
491 (John Beppu).
492 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
493 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
494 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
495 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
496
4975.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
498 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
499 (spotted by David Friedland).
500 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
501 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
502 unless you rip out everything but the core).
503 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
504 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
505
5065.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
507 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
508 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
509 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
510 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
511 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
512
5135.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
514 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
515 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
516 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
517 (analysed by elmex).
518
5195.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
520 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
521 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
522 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
523 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
524 AnyEvent::Handle.
525 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
526 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
527 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
528 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
529
5305.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
531 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
532 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
533 by Michael S. Fischer).
534 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
535 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
536 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
537 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
538 by default.
539 - fix some prototypes.
540 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
541 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
542
5435.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
544 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
545 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
546 - port to broken win32 perls.
547
5485.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
549 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
550 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
551 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
552 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
553 OSes as well).
554
5555.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
556 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
557 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
558 to reduce dependency on JSON.
559
5605.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
561 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
562 one (was broken since 4.91).
563 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
564 when retrying a tcp_connect.
565 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
566 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
567
5685.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
569 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
570
5715.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
572 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
573 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
574 in AnyEvent::Handle.
575 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
576 settings.
577 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
578 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
579 exporting the probe function).
580 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
581 code to work around it's watcher limits.
582 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
583 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
584 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
585 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
586 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
587
5884.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
589 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
590 already contains some TLS handshake.
591 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
592 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
593 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
594 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
595 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
596
5974.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
598 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
599 a negative value, so avoid that.
600 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
601 after the condition is already signalled.
602 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
603 data.
604 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
605 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
606 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
607 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
608 any issues).
609 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
610 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
611 by name (not name or number).
612 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
613 only compiling signal code when necessary.
614 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
615 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
616 said future/alternative API.
617 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
618
6194.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
620 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
621 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
622 (analysed by elmex).
623
6244.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
625 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
626 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
627 for errors after every push_write etc.
628 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
629 platforms.
630
6314.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
632 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
633 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
634 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
635 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
636 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
637 tutorial accordingly.
638 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
639
6404.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
641 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
642 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
643 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
644 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
645 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
646 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
647 in IO::Async.
648
6494.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
650 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
651 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
652 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
653 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
654 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
655 documentation.
656 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
657 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
658 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
659 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
660 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
661 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
662
6634.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
664 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
665 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
666 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
667 this trap.
668 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
669 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
670 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
671 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
672 on_read callbacks.
673 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
674
6754.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
676 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
677 callbacks.
678 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
679 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
680 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
681 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
682 Event::Lib.
683 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
684 to rarely fail.
685
6864.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
687 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
688 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
689 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
690 in AnyEvent->io.
691 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
692 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
693 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
694 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
695 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
696 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
697 portable_socketpair.
698 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
699 YMMV.
700
7014.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
702 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
703 uppercase targets.
704 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
705 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
706 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
707 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
708 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
709 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
710 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
711 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
712 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
713 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
714 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
715 in the common case.
716 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
717 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
718 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
719 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
720 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early connection
721 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
722 from the constructor.
723 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
724 then fall back to JSON.
725 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
726 and because it was documented that way.
727
7284.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
729 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
730 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
731
7324.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
733 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
734 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
735 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
736 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
737 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
738 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
739 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
740 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
741 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
742
7434.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
744 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
745 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
746 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
747 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
748 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
749
7504.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
751 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
752 and set it on the default resolver.
753 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
754 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
755 when running in tainted mode.
756 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
757
7584.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
759 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
760
7614.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
762 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
763 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
764 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
765 destructors.
766 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
767 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
768 implementation.
769 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
770 for cosmetic reasons.
771
7724.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
773 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
774 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
775 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
776 - sped up Tk timer handling.
777 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
778 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
779 - fix Qt timers without interval.
780 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
781
7824.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
783 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
784 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
785 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
786
7874.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
788 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
789 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
790 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
791 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
2 792
