3 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
4
54.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
6 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
7 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
8 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
9 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
10 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
11 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
12 in IO::ASync.
13
144.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
15 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
16 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
17 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
18 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
19 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
20 documentation.
21 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
22 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
23 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
24 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
25 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
26 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
27
284.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
29 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
30 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
31 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
32 this trap.
33 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
34 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
35 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
36 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
37 on_read callbacks.
38 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
39
404.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
41 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
42 callbacks.
43 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
44 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
45 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
46 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
47 Event::Lib.
48 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
49 to rarely fail.
50
514.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
52 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
53 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
54 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
55 in AnyEvent->io.
56 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
57 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
58 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
59 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
60 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
61 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
62 portable_socketpair.
63 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
64 YMMV.
65
664.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
67 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
68 uppercase targets.
69 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
70 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
71 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
72 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
73 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
74 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
75 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
76 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
77 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
78 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
79 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
80 in the common case.
81 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
82 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
83 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
84 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
85 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
86 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
87 from the constructor.
88 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
89 then fall back to JSON.
90 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
91 and because it was documented that way.
92
934.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
94 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
95 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
96
974.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
98 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
99 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
100 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
101 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
102 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
103 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
104 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
105 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
106 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
107
1084.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
109 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
110 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
111 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
112 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
113 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
114
1154.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
116 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
117 and set it on the default resolver.
118 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
119 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
120 when running in tainted mode.
121 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
122
1234.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
124 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
125
1264.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
127 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
128 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
129 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
130 destructors.
131 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
132 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
133 implementation.
134 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
135 for cosmetic reasons.
136
1374.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
138 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
139 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
140 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
141 - sped up Tk timer handling.
142 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
143 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
144 - fix Qt timers without interval.
145 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
146
1474.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
148 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
149 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
150 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
151
1524.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
3 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32. 153 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
154 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
155 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
4 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too). 156 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
