2 2
3TODO: document ->loop, and maybe one_event. 35.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
4TODO: untainting default resolveR? 4 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
5 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
6 - port to broken win32 perls.
7
85.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
9 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
10 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
11 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
12 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
13 OSes as well).
14
155.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
16 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
17 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
18 to reduce dependency on JSON.
19
205.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
21 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
22 one (was broken since 4.91).
23 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
24 when retrying a tcp_connect.
25 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
26 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
27
285.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
29 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
30
315.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
32 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
33 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
34 in AnyEvent::Handle.
35 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
36 settings.
37 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
38 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
39 exporting the probe function).
40 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
41 code to work around it's watcher limits.
42 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
43 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
44 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
45 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
46 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
47
484.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
49 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
50 already contains some TLS handshake.
51 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
52 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
53 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
54 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
55 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
56
574.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
58 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
59 a negative value, so avoid that.
60 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
61 after the condition is already signalled.
62 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
63 data.
64 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
65 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
66 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
67 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
68 any issues).
69 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
70 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
71 by name (not name or number).
72 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
73 only compiling signal code when necessary.
74 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
75 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
76 said future/alternative API.
77 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
78
794.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
80 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
81 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
82 (analyzed by elmex).
83
844.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
85 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
86 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
87 for errors after every push_write etc.
88 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
89 platforms.
90
914.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
92 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
93 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
94 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
95 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
96 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
97 tutorial accordingly.
98 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
99
1004.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
101 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
102 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
103 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
104 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
105 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
106 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
107 in IO::Async.
108
1094.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
110 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
111 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
112 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
113 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
114 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
115 documentation.
116 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
117 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
118 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
119 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
120 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
121 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
122
1234.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
124 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
125 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
126 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
127 this trap.
128 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
129 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
130 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
131 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
132 on_read callbacks.
133 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
134
1354.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
136 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
137 callbacks.
138 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
139 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
140 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
141 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
142 Event::Lib.
143 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
144 to rarely fail.
145
1464.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
147 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
148 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
149 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
150 in AnyEvent->io.
151 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
152 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
153 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
154 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
155 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
156 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
157 portable_socketpair.
158 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
159 YMMV.
160
1614.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
162 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
163 uppercase targets.
164 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
165 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
166 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
167 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
168 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
169 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
170 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
171 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
172 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
173 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
174 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
175 in the common case.
176 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
177 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
178 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
179 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
180 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
181 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
182 from the constructor.
183 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
184 then fall back to JSON.
185 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
186 and because it was documented that way.
187
1884.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
189 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
190 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
191
1924.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
193 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
194 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
195 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
196 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
197 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
198 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
199 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
200 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
201 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
202
2034.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
204 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
205 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
206 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
207 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
208 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
209
2104.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
211 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
212 and set it on the default resolver.
5 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop. 213 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
214 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
215 when running in tainted mode.
216 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
