3ZERO_RETURN - stoptls? 3TODO: Danga::Socket backend.
4
5TODO: delay tcp_connect
64.901
7 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
8 already contains some TLS handshake.
9 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
10 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
11 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
12 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
13
144.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
15 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
16 a negative value, so avoid that.
17 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
18 after the condition is already signalled.
19 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
20 data.
21 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
22 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
23 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
24 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
25 any issues).
26 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
27 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
28 by name (not name or number).
29 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
30 only compiling signal code when necessary.
31 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
32 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
33 said future/alternative API.
34 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
35
364.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
37 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
38 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
39 (analyzed by elmex).
40
414.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
42 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
43 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
44 for errors after every push_write etc.
45 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
46 platforms.
47
484.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
49 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
50 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
51 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
52 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
53 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
54 tutorial accordingly.
55 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
56
574.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
58 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
59 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
60 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
61 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
62 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
63 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
64 in IO::Async.
65
664.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
67 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
68 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
69 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
70 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
71 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
72 documentation.
73 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
74 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
75 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
76 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
77 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
78 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
79
804.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
81 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
82 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
83 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
84 this trap.
85 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
86 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
87 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
88 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
89 on_read callbacks.
90 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
91
924.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
93 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
94 callbacks.
95 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
96 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
97 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
98 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
99 Event::Lib.
100 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
101 to rarely fail.
102
1034.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
104 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
105 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
106 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
107 in AnyEvent->io.
108 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
109 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
110 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
111 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
112 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
113 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
114 portable_socketpair.
115 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
116 YMMV.
117
1184.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
119 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
120 uppercase targets.
121 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
122 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
123 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
124 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
125 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
126 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
127 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
128 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
129 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
4 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS, 130 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
5 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint 131 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
6 in the common case. 132 in the common case.
7 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method. 133 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
8 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's 134 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
9 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available). 135 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
136 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
10 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction 137 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
11 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case 138 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
12 from the constructor. 139 from the constructor.
13 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first, 140 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
14 then fall back to JSON. 141 then fall back to JSON.
142 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
143 and because it was documented that way.

17 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle 146 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
18 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP. 147 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
