2 2
3TODO: implement condvars... 3ZERO_RETURN - stoptls?
4 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
5 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
6 in the common case.
7 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
8 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
9 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
10 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
11 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
12 from the constructor.
13 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
14 then fall back to JSON.
15
164.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
17 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
18 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
19
204.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
21 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
22 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
23 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
24 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
25 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
26 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
27 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
28 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
29 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
30
314.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
32 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
33 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
34 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
35 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
36 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
37
384.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
39 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
40 and set it on the default resolver.
41 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
42 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
43 when running in tainted mode.
44 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
45
464.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
47 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
48
494.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
50 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
51 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
52 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
53 destructors.
54 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
55 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
56 implementation.
57 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
58 for cosmetic reasons.
59
604.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
61 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
62 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
63 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
64 - sped up Tk timer handling.
65 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
66 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
67 - fix Qt timers without interval.
68 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
69
704.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
71 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
72 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
73 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
74
754.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
76 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
77 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
78 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
79 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
80
814.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
82 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
83 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
84 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
85 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
86 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
87 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
88 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
89 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
90 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
91 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
92 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
93
944.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
95 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
96 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
97 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
98 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
99 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
100 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
101 backend.
102 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
103
1044.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
105 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
106 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
107 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
108 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
109 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
110 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
111
1124.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
113 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
114 illegal.
115 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
116 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
117 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
118 by Adam Rosenstein).
119 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
120 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
121 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
122
1234.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
124 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
125 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
126 the socket type.
127 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
128
1294.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
130 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
131 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
132 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
133 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
134 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
135 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
136
1374.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
138 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
139 unless one has been installed already.
140 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
141 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
142 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
143 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
144 client would first wait for some data by the server and
145 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
146 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
147 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
148 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
149 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
150 Rosenstein).
151 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
152 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
153 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
154 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
155 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
156 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
157 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
158 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
159 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
160 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
161 now, more to come, though.
162 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
163
1644.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
165 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
166 no trace events.
167 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
168 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
169 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
170 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
171 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
172 Time::HiRes).
173
1744.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
175 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
176 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
177
1784.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
179 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
180 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
181 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
182 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
183
1844.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
185 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
186 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
187 perls without resource leaks or worse).
188
1894.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
190 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
191 the callback.
192 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
193 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
194 eol marker.
195 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
196 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
197 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
198
1994.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
200 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
201 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
202 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
203 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
204 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
205
2064.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
207 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
208 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
209 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
210 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
211 unusable way.
212 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
213 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
214 K. Sharifulin).
215
2164.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
217 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
218 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
219 be delayed under some circumstances.
220 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
221 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
222 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
223 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
224 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
225 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
226
2274.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
228 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
229 assumption that all data could be written before read
230 (reported by Jim Razmus).
231
2324.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
233 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
234 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
235 implementation (also affected child watchers).
236 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
237
2384.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
239 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
240 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
241 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
242
2434.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
244 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
245 works.
246
2474.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
248 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
249 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
250 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
251 for AnyEvent::Handle.
252 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
253 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
254
2554.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
256 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
257 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
258 executing the guard block as warnings.
259 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
260
2614.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
262 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
263 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
264 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
265 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
266 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
267 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
268 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
269 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
270 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
271 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
272 enter an endless loop.
273 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
274 busy again after idling.
275 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
276 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
277 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
278 (hopefully).
279 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
280 away any time.
281
2824.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
283 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
284 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
285 - allow more options in on_error.
286
2874.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
288 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
289 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
290 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
291 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
292 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
293 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
294 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
295 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
296 rfc 2782.
297 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
298 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
299 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
300 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
301 could die. this has been fixed.
302 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
303 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
304 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
305 for resolver class.
306 - update version numbers in all modules.
307
3084.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
309 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
310 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
311 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
312 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
313 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
314 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
315 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
316 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
317 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
318 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
319 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
320 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
321 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
322 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
323 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
324 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
325 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
326 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
327 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
328 but EV also works around this).
329 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
330 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
331 vs. callback arguments.
332 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
333
3344.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
335 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
336 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
337 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
338 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
339
3404.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
341 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
342 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
343 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
344 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
345 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
346 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
347 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
348 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
349 sake of perl 5.8.
350 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
351 (still a hack...)
352 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
353 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
354 die handlers.
355
3564.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
357 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
358 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
359 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
360 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
361 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
362 - updated documentation.
363 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
364 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
365 in AnyEvent::Handle.
366 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
367 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
368 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
369 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
370
3714.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
372 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
373 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
374 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
375 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
376 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
377 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
378 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
379 verbatim ip addresses.
380 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
381 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
382 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
383 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
384 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
385 become writable until empty.
386 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
387 returns ENOTCONN.
388 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
389 override.
390 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
391
3923.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
393 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
394 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
395 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
396 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
397 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
398 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
399 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
400 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
401 first and second argument.
402 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
403 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
404 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
405 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
406 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
407
4083.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
409 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
410
4113.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
412 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
413 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
414 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
415 (still subject to change).
4 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl. 416 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
417 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
418 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
419 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
420 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
421 via Coro::AnyEvent.
