4 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
5 in AnyEvent::Handle.
6 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
7 settings.
8 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
9 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
10 exporting the probe function).
11 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
12 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV is the backend.
13 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.

154.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
16 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
17 already contains some TLS handshake.
18 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
19 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
20 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
21 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
22 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
23
244.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
25 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
26 a negative value, so avoid that.
27 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
28 after the condition is already signalled.
29 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
30 data.
31 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
32 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
33 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
34 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
35 any issues).
36 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
37 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
38 by name (not name or number).
39 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
40 only compiling signal code when necessary.
41 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
42 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
43 said future/alternative API.
44 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
45
464.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
47 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
48 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
49 (analyzed by elmex).
50
514.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
52 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
53 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
54 for errors after every push_write etc.
55 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
56 platforms.
57
584.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
59 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
60 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
61 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
62 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
63 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
64 tutorial accordingly.
65 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
66
674.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
68 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
69 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
70 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
71 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
72 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
73 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
74 in IO::Async.
75
764.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
77 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
78 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
79 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
80 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
81 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
82 documentation.
83 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
84 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
85 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
86 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
87 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
88 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
89
904.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
91 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
92 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
93 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
94 this trap.
95 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
96 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
97 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
98 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
99 on_read callbacks.
100 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
101
1024.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
103 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
104 callbacks.
105 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
106 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
107 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
108 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
109 Event::Lib.
110 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
111 to rarely fail.
112
1134.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
114 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
115 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
116 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
117 in AnyEvent->io.
118 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
119 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
120 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
121 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
122 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
123 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
124 portable_socketpair.
125 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
126 YMMV.
127
1284.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
129 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
130 uppercase targets.
131 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
132 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
133 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
134 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
135 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
136 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
137 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
138 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
139 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
140 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
141 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
142 in the common case.
143 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
144 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
145 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
146 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
147 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
148 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
149 from the constructor.
150 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
151 then fall back to JSON.
152 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
153 and because it was documented that way.
154
1554.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
156 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
157 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
158
1594.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
160 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
161 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
162 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
163 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
164 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
165 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
166 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
167 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
168 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
169
1704.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
3 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async. 171 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
4 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in 172 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
5 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses 173 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
6 even when the calling env acts stupidly. 174 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
7 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well. 175 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
