34.41 3TODO: release a:i 1.0
4 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name 4 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
5 for cosmetic reasons. 5 a negative value, so avoid that.
6 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
7 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
8 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
9 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
10 any issues).
11 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
12 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
13 by name (not name or number).
14 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
15 only compiling signal code when necessary.
16
174.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
18 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
19 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
20 (analyzed by elmex).
21
224.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
23 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
24 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
25 for errors after every push_write etc.
26 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
27 platforms.
28
294.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
30 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
31 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
32 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
33 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
34 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
35 tutorial accordingly.
36 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
37
384.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
39 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
40 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
41 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
42 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
43 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
44 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
45 in IO::Async.
46
474.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
48 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
49 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
50 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
51 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
52 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
53 documentation.
54 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
55 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
56 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
57 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
58 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
59 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
60
614.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
62 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
63 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
64 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
65 this trap.
66 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
67 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
68 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
69 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
70 on_read callbacks.
71 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
72
734.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
74 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
75 callbacks.
76 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
77 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
78 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
79 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
80 Event::Lib.
81 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
82 to rarely fail.
83
844.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
85 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
86 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
87 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
88 in AnyEvent->io.
89 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
90 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
91 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
92 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
93 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
94 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
95 portable_socketpair.
96 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
97 YMMV.
98
994.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
100 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
101 uppercase targets.
102 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
103 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
104 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
105 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
106 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
107 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
108 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
109 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
110 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
111 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
112 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
113 in the common case.
114 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
115 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
116 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
117 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
118 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
119 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
120 from the constructor.
121 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
122 then fall back to JSON.
123 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
124 and because it was documented that way.
125
1264.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
127 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
128 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
129
1304.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
131 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
132 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
133 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
134 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
135 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
136 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
137 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
138 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
139 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
140
1414.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
142 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
143 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
144 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
145 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
146 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
147
1484.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
149 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
150 and set it on the default resolver.
151 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
152 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
153 when running in tainted mode.
154 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
155
1564.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
157 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
