2 2
3TODO: release a:i 1.0
4TODO: ae::strict should chekc for signal names (enforced)
5 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
6 a negative value, so avoid that.
7 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
8 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
9 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
10 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
11 any issues).
12 - reduce memory footprint int ypical cases by ~50kb by
13 only compiling signal code when necessary.
14
154.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
16 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
17 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
18 (analyzed by elmex).
19
204.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
21 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
22 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
23 for errors after every push_write etc.
24 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
25 platforms.
26
274.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
28 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
29 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
30 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
31 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
32 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
33 tutorial accordingly.
34 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
35
364.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
37 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
38 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
39 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
40 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
41 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
42 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
43 in IO::Async.
44
454.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
46 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
47 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
48 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
49 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
50 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
51 documentation.
52 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
53 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
54 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
55 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
56 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
57 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
58
594.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
60 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
61 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
62 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
63 this trap.
64 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
65 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
66 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
67 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
68 on_read callbacks.
69 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
70
714.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
72 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
73 callbacks.
74 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
75 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
76 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
77 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
78 Event::Lib.
79 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
80 to rarely fail.
81
824.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
83 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
84 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
85 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
86 in AnyEvent->io.
87 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
88 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
89 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
90 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
91 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
92 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
93 portable_socketpair.
94 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
95 YMMV.
96
974.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
98 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
99 uppercase targets.
100 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
101 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
102 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
103 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
104 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
105 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
106 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
107 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
108 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
3 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS, 109 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
4 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint 110 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
5 in the common case. 111 in the common case.
112 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
113 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
114 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
115 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
116 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
117 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
118 from the constructor.
119 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
120 then fall back to JSON.
121 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
122 and because it was documented that way.
123
1244.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
125 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
126 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.

74.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009 1284.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
8 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create 129 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
9 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh. 130 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
10 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both 131 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
