34.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
4 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
5 and set it on the default resolver.
6 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
7 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
8 when running in tainted mode.
9 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
10
114.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
12 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
13
144.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
15 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
16 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
17 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
18 destructors.
19 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
20 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
21 implementation.
22 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
23 for cosmetic reasons.
24
254.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
26 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
27 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
28 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
29 - sped up Tk timer handling.
30 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
31 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
32 - fix Qt timers without interval.
33 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
34
354.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
36 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
37 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
38 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
39
404.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
41 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
42 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
43 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
44 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
45
464.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
47 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
48 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
49 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
50 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
51 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
52 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
53 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
54 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
55 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
56 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
57 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
58
594.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
60 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
61 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
62 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
63 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
64 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
65 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
66 backend.
67 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
68
694.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
70 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
71 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
72 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
73 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
74 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
75 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
76
774.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
78 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
79 illegal.
80 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
81 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
82 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
83 by Adam Rosenstein).
84 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
85 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
86 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
87
884.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
89 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
90 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
91 the socket type.
92 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
93
944.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
95 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
96 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
97 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
98 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
99 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
100 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
101
1024.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
103 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
104 unless one has been installed already.
105 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
106 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
107 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
108 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
109 client would first wait for some data by the server and
110 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
111 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
112 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
113 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
114 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
115 Rosenstein).
116 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
117 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
118 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
119 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
120 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
121 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
122 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
123 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
124 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
125 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
126 now, more to come, though.
127 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
128
1294.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
130 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
131 no trace events.
132 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
133 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
134 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
135 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
136 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
137 Time::HiRes).
138
1394.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
140 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
141 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
142
1434.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
144 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
145 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
146 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
147 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
148
1494.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
150 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
151 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
152 perls without resource leaks or worse).
153
1544.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
155 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
156 the callback.
157 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
158 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
159 eol marker.
160 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
161 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
162 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
163
1644.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
165 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
166 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
167 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
168 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
169 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
170
1714.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
172 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
173 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
174 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
175 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
176 unusable way.
177 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
178 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
179 K. Sharifulin).
180
1814.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
182 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
183 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
184 be delayed under some circumstances.
185 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
186 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
187 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
188 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
189 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
190 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
191
1924.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
193 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
194 assumption that all data could be written before read
195 (reported by Jim Razmus).
196
1974.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
198 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
199 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
200 implementation (also affected child watchers).
201 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
202
2034.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
204 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
205 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
206 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
207
2084.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
209 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
210 works.
211
2124.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
213 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
214 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
215 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
216 for AnyEvent::Handle.
217 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
218 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
219
2204.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
221 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
222 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
223 executing the guard block as warnings.
224 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
225
2264.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
227 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
228 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
229 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
230 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
231 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
232 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
233 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
234 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
235 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
236 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
237 enter an endless loop.
238 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
239 busy again after idling.
240 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
241 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
242 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
243 (hopefully).
244 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
245 away any time.
246
2474.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
248 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
249 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
250 - allow more options in on_error.
251
2524.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
253 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
254 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
255 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
256 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
257 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
258 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
259 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
260 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
261 rfc 2782.
262 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
263 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
264 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
265 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
266 could die. this has been fixed.
267 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
268 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
269 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
270 for resolver class.
271 - update version numbers in all modules.
272
2734.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
274 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
275 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
276 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
277 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
278 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
279 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
280 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
281 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
282 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
283 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
284 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
285 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
286 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
287 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
288 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
289 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
290 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
291 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
292 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
293 but EV also works around this).
294 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
295 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
296 vs. callback arguments.
297 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
298
2994.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
300 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
301 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
302 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
303 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
304
3054.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
306 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
307 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
308 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
309 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
310 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
311 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
312 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
313 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
314 sake of perl 5.8.
315 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
316 (still a hack...)
317 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
318 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
319 die handlers.
320
3214.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
322 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
323 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
324 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
325 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
326 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
327 - updated documentation.
328 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
329 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
330 in AnyEvent::Handle.
331 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
332 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
333 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
334 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
335
3364.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
337 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
338 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
339 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
340 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
341 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
342 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
343 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
344 verbatim ip addresses.
345 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
346 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
347 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
348 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
349 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
350 become writable until empty.
351 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
352 returns ENOTCONN.
353 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
354 override.
355 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
356
3573.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
358 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
359 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
360 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
361 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
362 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
363 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
364 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
365 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
366 first and second argument.
367 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
368 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
369 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
370 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
371 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
372
3733.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
374 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
375
3763.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
377 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
378 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
379 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
380 (still subject to change).
381 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
382 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
383 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
384 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
385 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
386 via Coro::AnyEvent.
387
3883.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
389 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
390 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
391 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
392 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
393 the different event loops with each other.
394 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
395 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
396 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
397 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
398 kept alive.
399 - document the race between loading of an event module and
400 child processes exiting.
401 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
402 enough, and darn slow).
403 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
404 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
405 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
406 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
407 faster than Event and Glib :).
408 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
409 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
410 to other event loops where possible.
2 411
33.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008 4123.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
4 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks 413 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
5 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered 414 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
6 for the same fh/poll combo). 415 for the same fh/poll combo).
7 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions. 416 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
8 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable. 417 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
9 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module. 418 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
10 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed). 419 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
420 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.

123.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008 4223.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
13 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow. 423 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
14 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate, 424 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
15 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue. 425 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
