34.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
4 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
5 already contains some TLS handshake.
6 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
7 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
8 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
9 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
10 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
11
124.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
13 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
14 a negative value, so avoid that.
15 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
16 after the condition is already signalled.
17 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
18 data.
19 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
20 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
21 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
22 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
23 any issues).
24 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
25 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
26 by name (not name or number).
27 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
28 only compiling signal code when necessary.
29 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
30 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
31 said future/alternative API.
32 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
33
344.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
35 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
36 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
37 (analyzed by elmex).
38
394.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
40 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
41 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
42 for errors after every push_write etc.
43 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
44 platforms.
45
464.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
47 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
48 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
49 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
50 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
51 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
52 tutorial accordingly.
53 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
54
554.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
56 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
57 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
58 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
59 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
60 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
61 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
62 in IO::Async.
63
644.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
65 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
66 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
67 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
68 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
69 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
70 documentation.
71 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
72 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
73 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
74 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
75 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
76 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
77
784.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
79 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
80 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
81 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
82 this trap.
83 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
84 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
85 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
86 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
87 on_read callbacks.
88 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
89
904.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
91 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
92 callbacks.
93 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
94 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
95 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
96 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
97 Event::Lib.
98 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
99 to rarely fail.
100
1014.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
102 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
103 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
104 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
105 in AnyEvent->io.
106 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
107 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
108 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
109 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
110 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
111 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
112 portable_socketpair.
113 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
114 YMMV.
115
1164.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
117 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
118 uppercase targets.
119 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
120 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
121 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
122 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
123 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
124 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
125 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
126 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
127 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
128 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
129 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
130 in the common case.
131 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
132 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
133 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
134 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
135 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
136 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
137 from the constructor.
138 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
139 then fall back to JSON.
140 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
141 and because it was documented that way.
142
1434.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
144 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
145 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
146
1474.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
148 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
149 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
150 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
151 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
152 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
153 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
154 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
155 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
156 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.

4 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async. 159 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
5 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in 160 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
6 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses 161 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
