1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2 2
33.51 3 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
4 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
5 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
6 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
7
84.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
9 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
10 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
11 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
12 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
13 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
14 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
15 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
16 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
17 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
18 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
19 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
20
214.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
22 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
23 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
24 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
25 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
26 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
27 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
28 backend.
29 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
30
314.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
32 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
33 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
34 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
35 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
36 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
37 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
38
394.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
40 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
41 illegal.
42 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
43 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
44 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
45 by Adam Rosenstein).
46 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
47 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
48 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
49
504.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
51 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
52 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
53 the socket type.
54 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
55
564.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
57 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
58 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
59 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
60 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
61 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
62 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
63
644.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
65 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
66 unless one has been installed already.
67 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
68 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
69 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
70 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
71 client would first wait for some data by the server and
72 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
73 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
74 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
75 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
76 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
77 Rosenstein).
78 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
79 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
80 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
81 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
82 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
83 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
84 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
85 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
86 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
87 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
88 now, more to come, though.
89 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
90
914.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
92 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
93 no trace events.
94 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
95 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
96 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
97 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
98 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
99 Time::HiRes).
100
1014.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
102 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
103 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
104
1054.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
106 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
107 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
108 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
109 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
110
1114.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
112 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
113 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
114 perls without resource leaks or worse).
115
1164.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
117 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
118 the callback.
119 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
120 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
121 eol marker.
122 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
123 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
124 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
125
1264.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
127 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
128 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
129 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
130 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
131 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
132
1334.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
134 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
135 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
136 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
137 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
138 unusable way.
139 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
140 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
141 K. Sharifulin).
142
1434.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
144 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
145 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
146 be delayed under some circumstances.
147 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
148 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
149 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
150 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
151 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
152 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
153
1544.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
155 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
156 assumption that all data could be written before read
157 (reported by Jim Razmus).
158
1594.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
160 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
161 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
162 implementation (also affected child watchers).
163 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
164
1654.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
166 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
167 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
168 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
169
1704.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
171 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
172 works.
173
1744.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
175 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
176 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
177 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
178 for AnyEvent::Handle.
179 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
180 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
181
1824.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
183 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
184 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
185 executing the guard block as warnings.
186 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
187
1884.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
189 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
190 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
191 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
192 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
193 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
194 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
195 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
196 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
197 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
198 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
199 enter an endless loop.
200 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
201 busy again after idling.
202 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
203 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
204 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
205 (hopefully).
206 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
207 away any time.
208
2094.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
210 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
211 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
212 - allow more options in on_error.
213
2144.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
215 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
216 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
217 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
218 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
219 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
220 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
221 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
222 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
223 rfc 2782.
224 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
225 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
226 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
227 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
228 could die. this has been fixed.
229 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
230 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
231 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
232 for resolver class.
233 - update version numbers in all modules.
234
2354.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
236 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
237 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
238 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
239 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
240 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
241 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
242 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
243 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
244 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
245 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
246 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
247 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
248 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
249 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
250 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
251 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
252 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
253 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
254 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
255 but EV also works around this).
256 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
257 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
258 vs. callback arguments.
259 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
260
2614.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
262 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
263 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
264 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
265 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
266
2674.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
268 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
269 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
270 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
271 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
272 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
273 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
274 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
275 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
276 sake of perl 5.8.
277 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
278 (still a hack...)
279 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
280 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
281 die handlers.
282
2834.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
284 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
285 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
286 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
287 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
288 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
289 - updated documentation.
290 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
291 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
292 in AnyEvent::Handle.
293 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
294 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
295 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
296 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
297

4 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module. 299 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
300 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
301 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
302 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
303 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
304 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
305 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
306 verbatim ip addresses.
307 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
308 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
5 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle. 309 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.

7 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to 311 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
8 become writable untill empty. 312 become writable until empty.
9 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername 313 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
10 returns ENOTCONN. 314 returns ENOTCONN.
11 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP brutal 315 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
12 override. 316 override.

143.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008 3193.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
15 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC 320 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
16 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41). 321 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
