2 2
33.51 3TODO: document ->loop, and maybe one_event.
4TODO: untainting default resolveR?
5 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
6
74.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
8 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
9
104.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
11 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
12 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
13 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
14 destructors.
15 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
16 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
17 implementation.
18 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
19 for cosmetic reasons.
20
214.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
22 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
23 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
24 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
25 - sped up Tk timer handling.
26 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
27 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
28 - fix Qt timers without interval.
29 - avoid Qt zero-timeout specialcase, in old libqt's.
30
314.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
32 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
33 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
34 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
35
364.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
37 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
38 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
39 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
40 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
41
424.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
43 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
44 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
45 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
46 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
47 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
48 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
49 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
50 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
51 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
52 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
53 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
54
554.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
56 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
57 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
58 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
59 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
60 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
61 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
62 backend.
63 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
64
654.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
66 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
67 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
68 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
69 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
70 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
71 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
72
734.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
74 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
75 illegal.
76 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
77 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
78 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
79 by Adam Rosenstein).
80 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
81 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
82 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
83
844.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
85 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
86 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
87 the socket type.
88 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
89
904.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
91 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
92 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
93 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
94 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
95 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
96 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
97
984.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
99 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
100 unless one has been installed already.
101 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
102 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
103 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
104 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
105 client would first wait for some data by the server and
106 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
107 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
108 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
109 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
110 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
111 Rosenstein).
112 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
113 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
114 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
115 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
116 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
117 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
118 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
119 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
120 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
121 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
122 now, more to come, though.
123 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
124
1254.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
126 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
127 no trace events.
128 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
129 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
130 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
131 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
132 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
133 Time::HiRes).
134
1354.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
136 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
137 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
138
1394.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
140 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
141 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
142 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
143 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
144
1454.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
146 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
147 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
148 perls without resource leaks or worse).
149
1504.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
151 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
152 the callback.
153 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
154 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
155 eol marker.
156 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
157 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
158 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
159
1604.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
161 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
162 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
163 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
164 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
165 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
166
1674.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
168 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
169 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
170 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
171 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
172 unusable way.
173 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
174 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
175 K. Sharifulin).
176
1774.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
178 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
179 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
180 be delayed under some circumstances.
181 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
182 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
183 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
184 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
185 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
186 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
187
1884.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
189 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
190 assumption that all data could be written before read
191 (reported by Jim Razmus).
192
1934.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
194 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
195 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
196 implementation (also affected child watchers).
197 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
198
1994.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
200 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
201 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
202 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
203
2044.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
205 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
206 works.
207
2084.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
209 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
210 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
211 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
212 for AnyEvent::Handle.
213 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
214 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
215
2164.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
217 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
218 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
219 executing the guard block as warnings.
220 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
221
2224.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
223 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
224 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
225 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
226 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
227 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
228 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
229 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
230 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
231 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
232 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
233 enter an endless loop.
234 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
235 busy again after idling.
236 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
237 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
238 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
239 (hopefully).
240 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
241 away any time.
242
2434.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
244 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
245 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
246 - allow more options in on_error.
247
2484.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
249 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
250 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
251 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
252 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
253 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
254 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
255 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
256 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
257 rfc 2782.
258 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
259 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
260 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
261 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
262 could die. this has been fixed.
263 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
264 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
265 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
266 for resolver class.
267 - update version numbers in all modules.
268
2694.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
270 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
271 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
272 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
273 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
274 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
275 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
276 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
277 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
278 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
279 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
280 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
281 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
282 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
283 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
284 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
285 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
286 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
287 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
288 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
289 but EV also works around this).
290 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
291 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
292 vs. callback arguments.
293 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
294
2954.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
296 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
297 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
298 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
299 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
300
3014.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
302 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
303 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
304 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
305 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
306 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
307 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
308 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
309 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
310 sake of perl 5.8.
311 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
312 (still a hack...)
313 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
314 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
315 die handlers.
316
3174.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
318 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
319 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
320 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
321 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
322 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
323 - updated documentation.
324 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
325 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
326 in AnyEvent::Handle.
327 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
328 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
329 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
330 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
331
3324.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
333 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
334 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
335 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
336 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
337 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
338 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
339 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
340 verbatim ip addresses.
341 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
342 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
343 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
4 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server. 344 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
5 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to 345 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
6 become writable untill empty. 346 become writable until empty.
7 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername 347 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
8 returns ENOTCONN. 348 returns ENOTCONN.
9 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP brutal 349 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
10 override. 350 override.
351 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
11 352
123.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008 3533.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
13 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC 354 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
14 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41). 355 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
