1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2 2
3 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
4 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
5 in the common case.
6
74.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
8 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
9 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
10 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
11 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
12 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
13 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
14 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
15 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
16 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
17
184.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
19 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
20 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
21 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
22 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
23 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
24
254.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
26 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
27 and set it on the default resolver.
28 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
29 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
30 when running in tainted mode.
31 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
32
334.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
34 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
35
364.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
37 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
38 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
39 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
40 destructors.
41 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
42 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
43 implementation.
44 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
45 for cosmetic reasons.
46
474.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
48 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
49 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
50 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
51 - sped up Tk timer handling.
52 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
53 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
54 - fix Qt timers without interval.
55 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
56
574.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
58 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
59 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
60 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
61
624.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
63 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
64 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
65 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
66 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
67
684.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
69 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
70 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
71 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
72 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
73 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
74 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
75 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
76 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
77 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
78 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
79 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
80
814.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
82 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
83 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
84 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
85 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
86 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
87 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
88 backend.
89 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
90
914.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
92 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
93 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
94 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
95 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
96 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
97 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
98
994.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
100 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
101 illegal.
102 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
103 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
104 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
105 by Adam Rosenstein).
106 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
107 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
108 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
109
1104.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
111 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
112 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
113 the socket type.
114 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
115
1164.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
117 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
118 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
119 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
120 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
121 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
122 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
123
1244.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
125 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
126 unless one has been installed already.
127 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
128 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
129 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
130 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
131 client would first wait for some data by the server and
132 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
133 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
134 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
135 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
136 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
137 Rosenstein).
138 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
139 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
140 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
141 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
142 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
143 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
144 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
145 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
146 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
147 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
148 now, more to come, though.
149 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
150
1514.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
152 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
153 no trace events.
154 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
155 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
156 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
157 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
158 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
159 Time::HiRes).
160
1614.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
162 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
163 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
164
1654.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
166 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
167 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
168 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
169 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
170
1714.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
172 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
173 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
174 perls without resource leaks or worse).
175
1764.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
177 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
178 the callback.
179 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
180 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
181 eol marker.
182 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
183 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
184 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
185
1864.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
187 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
188 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
189 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
190 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
191 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
192
1934.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
194 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
195 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
196 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
197 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
198 unusable way.
199 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
200 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
201 K. Sharifulin).
202
2034.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
204 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
205 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
206 be delayed under some circumstances.
207 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
208 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
209 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
210 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
211 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
212 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
213
2144.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
215 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
216 assumption that all data could be written before read
217 (reported by Jim Razmus).
218
2194.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
220 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
221 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
222 implementation (also affected child watchers).
223 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
224
2254.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
226 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
227 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
228 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
229
2304.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
231 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
232 works.
233
2344.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
235 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
236 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
237 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
238 for AnyEvent::Handle.
239 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
240 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
241
2424.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
243 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
244 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
245 executing the guard block as warnings.
246 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
247
2484.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
249 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
250 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
251 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
252 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
253 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
254 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
255 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
256 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
257 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
258 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
259 enter an endless loop.
260 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
261 busy again after idling.
262 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
263 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
264 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
265 (hopefully).
266 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
267 away any time.
268
2694.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
270 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
271 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
272 - allow more options in on_error.
273
2744.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
275 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
276 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
277 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
278 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
279 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
280 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
281 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
282 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
283 rfc 2782.
284 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
285 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
286 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
287 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
288 could die. this has been fixed.
289 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
290 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
291 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
292 for resolver class.
293 - update version numbers in all modules.
294
2954.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
296 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
297 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
298 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
299 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
300 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
301 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
302 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
303 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
304 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
305 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
306 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
307 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
308 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
309 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
310 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
311 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
312 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
313 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
314 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
315 but EV also works around this).
316 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
317 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
318 vs. callback arguments.
319 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
320
3214.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
322 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
323 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
324 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
325 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
326
3274.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
328 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
329 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
330 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
331 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
332 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
333 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
334 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
335 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
336 sake of perl 5.8.
337 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
338 (still a hack...)
339 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
340 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
341 die handlers.
342
3434.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
344 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
345 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
346 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
347 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
348 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
349 - updated documentation.
350 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
351 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
352 in AnyEvent::Handle.
353 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
354 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
355 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
356 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
357
3584.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
359 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
360 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
361 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
362 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
363 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
364 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
365 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
366 verbatim ip addresses.
367 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
368 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
369 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
370 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
371 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
372 become writable until empty.
3 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername 373 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
4 returns ENOTCONN. 374 returns ENOTCONN.
5 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP brutal 375 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
6 override. 376 override.
377 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.

83.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008 3793.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
9 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC 380 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
10 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41). 381 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
11 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server 382 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
