105.29
11 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API.
12 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
13 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
14 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
15 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
16 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
17 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
18 as part of the perl core.
19
205.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
21 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
22 actually used in tcp_server.
23 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
24 missing.
25 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
26 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
27 resulting in more informative error messages.
28 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
29 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
30 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
31 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
32 of AnyEvent::TLS.
33 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
34 requested by Ron Isaacson.
35 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
36 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
37 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
38 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
39 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
40
415.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
42 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
43
445.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
45 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
46 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
47 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
48 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
49 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
50 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
51 - better/more condvar examples.
52
535.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
54 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
55 time (found by Andy Grundman).
56
575.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
58 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
59 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
60 by Bas Denissen).
61 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
62 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
63 EV and Perl backends.
64 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
65 backends.
66 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
67 never documented nor universally supported).
68 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
69 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
70
715.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
72 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
73 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
74 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
75
765.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
77 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
78 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
79 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
80 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
81 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
82 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
83 by lucky accident on win32.
84 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
85 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
86 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
87 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
88 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
89 detection and eval.
90 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
91 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
92 (same algorithm as EV).
93 - update unicode idna mapping table.
94
955.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
96 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
97 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
98 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
99 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
100
1015.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
102 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
103 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
104 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
105 - provide $AE::VERSION.
106 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
107
1085.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
109 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
110 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
111 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
112 when passing scalar data to extensions).
113 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
114 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
115 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
116 (John Beppu).
117 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
118 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
119 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
120 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
121
1225.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
123 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
124 (spotted by David Friedland).
125 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
126 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
127 unless you rip out everything but the core).
128 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
129 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
130
1315.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
132 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
133 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
134 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
135 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
136 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
137
1385.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
139 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
140 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
141 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
142 (analysed by elmex).
143
1445.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
145 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
146 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
147 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
148 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
149 AnyEvent::Handle.
150 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
151 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
152 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
153 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
154
1555.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
156 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
157 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
158 by Michael S. Fischer).
159 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
160 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
161 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
162 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
163 by default.
164 - fix some prototypes.
165 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
166 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
167
1685.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
169 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
170 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
171 - port to broken win32 perls.
172
1735.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
174 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
175 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
176 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
177 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
178 OSes as well).
179
1805.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
181 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
182 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
183 to reduce dependency on JSON.
184
1855.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
186 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
187 one (was broken since 4.91).
188 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
189 when retrying a tcp_connect.
190 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
191 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
192
1935.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
194 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
195
1965.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
197 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
198 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
199 in AnyEvent::Handle.
200 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
201 settings.
202 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
203 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
204 exporting the probe function).
205 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
206 code to work around it's watcher limits.
207 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
208 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
209 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
210 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
211 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
212
2134.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
214 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
215 already contains some TLS handshake.
216 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
217 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
218 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
219 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
220 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
221
2224.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
223 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
224 a negative value, so avoid that.
225 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
226 after the condition is already signalled.
227 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
228 data.
229 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
230 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
231 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
232 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
233 any issues).
234 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
235 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
236 by name (not name or number).
237 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
238 only compiling signal code when necessary.
239 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
240 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
241 said future/alternative API.
242 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
243
2444.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
245 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
246 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
247 (analysed by elmex).
248
2494.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
250 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
251 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
252 for errors after every push_write etc.
253 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
254 platforms.
255
2564.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
257 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
258 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
259 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
260 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
261 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
262 tutorial accordingly.
263 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
264
2654.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
266 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
267 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
268 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
269 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
270 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
271 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
272 in IO::Async.
273
2744.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
275 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
276 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
277 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
278 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
279 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
280 documentation.
281 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
282 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
283 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
284 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
285 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
286 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
287
2884.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
289 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
290 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
291 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
292 this trap.
293 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
294 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
295 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
296 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
297 on_read callbacks.
298 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
299
3004.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
301 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
302 callbacks.
303 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
304 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
305 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
306 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
307 Event::Lib.
308 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
309 to rarely fail.
310
3114.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
312 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
313 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
314 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
315 in AnyEvent->io.
316 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
317 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
318 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
319 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
320 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
321 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
322 portable_socketpair.
323 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
324 YMMV.
325
3264.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
327 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
328 uppercase targets.
329 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
330 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
331 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
332 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
333 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
334 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
335 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
336 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
337 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
338 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
339 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
340 in the common case.
341 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
342 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
343 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
344 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
345 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
346 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
347 from the constructor.
348 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
349 then fall back to JSON.
350 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
351 and because it was documented that way.
352
3534.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
354 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
355 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
356
3574.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
358 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
359 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
360 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
361 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
362 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
363 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
364 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
365 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
366 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
367
3684.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
369 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
370 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
371 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
372 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
373 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
374
3754.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
4 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS 376 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
5 and set it on the default resolver. 377 and set it on the default resolver.
6 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop. 378 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
7 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV 379 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
8 when running in tainted mode. 380 when running in tainted mode.
381 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
