35.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
4 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
5 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
6 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
7 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
8 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
9 by lucky accident on win32.
10 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
11 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
12 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
13 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
14 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
15 detection and eval.
16 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
17 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
18 (ame algorithm as EV).
19
205.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
21 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
22 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
23 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
24 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
25
265.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
27 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
28 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
29 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
30 - provide $AE::VERSION.
31 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
32
335.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
34 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
35 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
36 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
37 when passing scalar data to extensions).
38 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
39 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
40 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
41 (John Beppu).
42 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
43 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
44 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
45 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
46
475.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
48 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
49 (spotted by David Friedland).
50 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
51 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
52 unless you rip out everything but the core).
53 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
54 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
55
565.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
57 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
58 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
59 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
60 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
61 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
62
635.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
64 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
65 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
66 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
67 (analysed by elmex).
68
695.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
70 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
71 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
72 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
73 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
74 AnyEvent::Handle.
75 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
76 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
77 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
78 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
79
805.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
81 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
82 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
83 by Michael S. Fischer).
84 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
85 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
86 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
87 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
88 by default.
89 - fix some prototypes.
90 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
91 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
92
935.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
94 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
95 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
96 - port to broken win32 perls.
97
985.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
99 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
100 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
101 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
102 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
103 OSes as well).
104
1055.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
106 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
107 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
108 to reduce dependency on JSON.
109
1105.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
111 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
112 one (was broken since 4.91).
113 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
114 when retrying a tcp_connect.
115 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
116 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
117
1185.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
119 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
120
1215.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
122 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
123 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
124 in AnyEvent::Handle.
125 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
126 settings.
127 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
128 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
129 exporting the probe function).
130 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
131 code to work around it's watcher limits.
132 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
133 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
134 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
135 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
136 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
137
1384.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
139 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
140 already contains some TLS handshake.
141 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
142 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
143 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
144 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
145 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
146
1474.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
148 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
149 a negative value, so avoid that.
150 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
151 after the condition is already signalled.
152 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
153 data.
154 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
155 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
156 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
157 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
158 any issues).
159 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
160 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
161 by name (not name or number).
162 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
163 only compiling signal code when necessary.
164 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
165 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
166 said future/alternative API.
167 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
168
1694.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
170 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
171 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
172 (analysed by elmex).
173
1744.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
175 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
176 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
177 for errors after every push_write etc.
178 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
179 platforms.
180
1814.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
182 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
183 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
184 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
185 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
186 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
187 tutorial accordingly.
188 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
189
1904.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
191 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
192 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
193 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
194 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
195 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
196 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
197 in IO::Async.
198
1994.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
200 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
201 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
202 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
203 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
204 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
205 documentation.
206 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
207 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
208 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
209 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
210 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
211 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
212
2134.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
214 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
215 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
216 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
217 this trap.
218 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
219 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
220 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
221 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
222 on_read callbacks.
223 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
224
2254.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
226 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
227 callbacks.
228 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
229 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
230 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
231 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
232 Event::Lib.
233 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
234 to rarely fail.
235
2364.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
237 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
238 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
239 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
240 in AnyEvent->io.
241 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
242 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
243 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
244 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
245 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
246 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
247 portable_socketpair.
248 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
249 YMMV.
250
2514.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
252 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
253 uppercase targets.
254 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
255 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
256 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
257 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
258 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
259 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
260 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
261 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
262 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
263 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
264 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
265 in the common case.
266 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
267 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
268 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
269 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
270 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
271 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
272 from the constructor.
273 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
274 then fall back to JSON.
275 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
276 and because it was documented that way.
277
2784.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
279 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
280 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
