4 (poe makes their own "anyevent", unfortunately). 4 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
5 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
6 - allow more options in on_error.
7
84.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
9 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
10 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
11 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
12 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
13 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
14 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
15 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
16 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
17 rfc 2782.
18 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
19 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
20 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
21 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
22 could die. this has been fixed.
23 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
24 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
25 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
26 for resolver class.
27 - update version numbers in all modules.
28
294.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
30 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
31 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
32 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
33 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
34 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
35 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
36 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
37 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
38 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
39 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
40 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
41 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
42 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
43 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
44 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
45 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
46 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
47 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
48 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
49 but EV also works around this).
50 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
51 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
52 vs. callback arguments.
53 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
54
554.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
56 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
57 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
58 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
59 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
60
614.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
62 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
63 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
64 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
65 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
66 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
67 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
68 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
69 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
70 sake of perl 5.8.
71 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
72 (still a hack...)
73 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
74 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
75 die handlers.
76
774.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
78 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
79 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
80 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
81 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
82 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
83 - updated documentation.
84 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
85 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
86 in AnyEvent::Handle.
87 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
88 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
89 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
90 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
91
924.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
93 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
94 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
95 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
96 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
97 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
98 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
99 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
100 verbatim ip addresses.
101 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
102 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
103 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
104 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
105 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
106 become writable until empty.
107 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
108 returns ENOTCONN.
109 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP brutal
110 override.
111 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
112
1133.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
114 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
115 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
116 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
117 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
118 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
119 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
120 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
121 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
122 first and second argument.
123 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
124 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
125 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
126 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
127 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
128
1293.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
130 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
131
1323.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
133 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful
134 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
135 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
136 (still subject to change).
137 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
138 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
139 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
140 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
141 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
142 via Coro::AnyEvent.
143
1443.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
145 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
146 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
147 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
148 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
149 the different event loops with each other.
150 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
151 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
152 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
153 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
154 kept alive.
155 - document the race between loading of an event module and
156 child processes exiting.
157 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
158 enough, and darn slow).
159 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
160 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
161 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
162 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
163 faster than Event and Glib :).
164 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
165 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
166 to other event loops where possible.
167
1683.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
169 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
170 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
171 for the same fh/poll combo).
172 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
173 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
174 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
175 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
176 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
177
1783.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
179 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
180 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
181 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
182 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
183 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
184 - do not send the signal to the process group
185 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
186
1873.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
188 - major documentation rework.
189 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
190 - fix the child watcher example.
191
1923.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
193 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
194 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
195 don't get fixed anytime soon).
196 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
197 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
198 such strong limits).
199 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
200 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
201 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
202 any restrictions...).
203 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
204
2053.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
206 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
207 up the Coro implementation in general.
208 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
209 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
210 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
211
2122.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
213 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
214
2152.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
216 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
217 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
218
2192.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
220 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
221 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
222 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
223 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
224 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
225 (except when Event or EV are installed).
226
2272.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
228 - fix bug in testsuite.
229 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
230 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
231
2322.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
233 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
234 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
235 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
