1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2 2
3TODO: implement condvars... 3TODO: parse ipv6 mapped addresses transparently
4 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
5
64.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
7 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
8 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
9 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
10 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
11 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
12
134.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
14 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
15 and set it on the default resolver.
16 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
17 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
18 when running in tainted mode.
19 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
20
214.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
22 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
23
244.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
25 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
26 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
27 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
28 destructors.
29 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
30 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
31 implementation.
32 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
33 for cosmetic reasons.
34
354.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
36 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
37 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
38 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
39 - sped up Tk timer handling.
40 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
41 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
42 - fix Qt timers without interval.
43 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
44
454.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
46 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
47 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
48 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
49
504.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
51 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
52 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
53 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
54 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
55
564.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
57 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
58 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
59 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
60 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
61 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
62 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
63 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
64 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
65 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
66 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
67 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
68
694.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
70 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
71 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
72 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
73 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
74 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
75 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
76 backend.
77 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
78
794.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
80 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
81 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
82 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
83 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
84 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
85 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
86
874.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
88 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
89 illegal.
90 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
91 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
92 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
93 by Adam Rosenstein).
94 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
95 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
96 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
97
984.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
99 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
100 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
101 the socket type.
102 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
103
1044.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
105 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
106 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
107 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
108 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
109 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
110 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
111
1124.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
113 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
114 unless one has been installed already.
115 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
116 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
117 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
118 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
119 client would first wait for some data by the server and
120 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
121 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
122 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
123 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
124 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
125 Rosenstein).
126 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
127 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
128 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
129 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
130 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
131 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
132 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
133 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
134 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
135 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
136 now, more to come, though.
137 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
138
1394.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
140 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
141 no trace events.
142 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
143 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
144 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
145 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
146 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
147 Time::HiRes).
148
1494.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
150 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
151 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
152
1534.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
154 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
155 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
156 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
157 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
158
1594.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
160 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
161 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
162 perls without resource leaks or worse).
163
1644.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
165 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
166 the callback.
167 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
168 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
169 eol marker.
170 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
171 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
172 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
173
1744.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
175 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
176 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
177 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
178 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
179 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
180
1814.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
182 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
183 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
184 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
185 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
186 unusable way.
187 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
188 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
189 K. Sharifulin).
190
1914.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
192 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
193 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
194 be delayed under some circumstances.
195 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
196 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
197 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
198 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
199 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
200 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
201
2024.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
203 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
204 assumption that all data could be written before read
205 (reported by Jim Razmus).
206
2074.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
208 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
209 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
210 implementation (also affected child watchers).
211 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
212
2134.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
214 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
215 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
216 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
217
2184.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
219 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
220 works.
221
2224.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
223 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
224 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
225 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
226 for AnyEvent::Handle.
227 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
228 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
229
2304.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
231 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
232 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
233 executing the guard block as warnings.
234 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
235
2364.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
237 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
238 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
239 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
240 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
241 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
242 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
243 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
244 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
245 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
246 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
247 enter an endless loop.
248 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
249 busy again after idling.
250 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
251 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
252 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
253 (hopefully).
254 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
255 away any time.
256
2574.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
258 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
259 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
260 - allow more options in on_error.
261
2624.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
263 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
264 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
265 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
266 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
267 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
268 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
269 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
270 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
271 rfc 2782.
272 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
273 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
274 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
275 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
276 could die. this has been fixed.
277 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
278 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
279 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
280 for resolver class.
281 - update version numbers in all modules.
282
2834.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
284 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
285 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
286 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
287 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
288 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
289 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
290 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
291 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
292 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
293 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
294 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
295 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
296 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
297 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
298 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
299 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
300 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
301 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
302 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
303 but EV also works around this).
304 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
305 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
306 vs. callback arguments.
307 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
308
3094.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
310 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
311 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
312 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
313 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
314
3154.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
316 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
317 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
318 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
319 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
320 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
321 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
322 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
323 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
324 sake of perl 5.8.
325 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
326 (still a hack...)
327 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
328 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
329 die handlers.
330
3314.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
332 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
333 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
334 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
335 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
336 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
337 - updated documentation.
338 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
339 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
340 in AnyEvent::Handle.
341 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
342 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
343 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
344 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
345
3464.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
347 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
348 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
349 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
350 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
351 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
352 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
353 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
354 verbatim ip addresses.
355 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
356 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
357 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
358 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
359 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
360 become writable until empty.
361 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
362 returns ENOTCONN.
363 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
364 override.
365 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
366
3673.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
368 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
369 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
370 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
371 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
372 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
373 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
374 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
375 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
376 first and second argument.
377 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
378 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
379 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
380 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
381 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
382
3833.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
384 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
385
3863.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
387 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
388 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
389 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
390 (still subject to change).
4 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl. 391 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
5 - provide @AnyEvent::detect. 392 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
393 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
394 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
6 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent 395 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
7 via Coro::AnyEvent. 396 via Coro::AnyEvent.
8 397
93.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008 3983.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
10 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules. 399 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
