2 2
3ZERO_RETURN - stoptls? 34.92
4 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
5 in AnyEvent::Handle.
6 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
7 settings.
8 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
9 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
10 exporting the probe function).
11 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV is the backend.
12 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
13
144.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
15 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
16 already contains some TLS handshake.
17 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
18 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
19 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
20 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
21 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
22
234.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
24 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
25 a negative value, so avoid that.
26 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
27 after the condition is already signalled.
28 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
29 data.
30 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
31 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
32 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
33 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
34 any issues).
35 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
36 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
37 by name (not name or number).
38 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
39 only compiling signal code when necessary.
40 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
41 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
42 said future/alternative API.
43 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
44
454.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
46 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
47 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
48 (analyzed by elmex).
49
504.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
51 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
52 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
53 for errors after every push_write etc.
54 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
55 platforms.
56
574.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
58 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
59 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
60 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
61 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
62 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
63 tutorial accordingly.
64 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
65
664.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
67 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
68 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
69 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
70 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
71 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
72 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
73 in IO::Async.
74
754.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
76 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
77 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
78 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
79 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
80 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
81 documentation.
82 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
83 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
84 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
85 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
86 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
87 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
88
894.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
90 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
91 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
92 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
93 this trap.
94 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
95 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
96 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
97 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
98 on_read callbacks.
99 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
100
1014.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
102 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
103 callbacks.
104 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
105 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
106 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
107 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
108 Event::Lib.
109 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
110 to rarely fail.
111
1124.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
113 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
114 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
115 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
116 in AnyEvent->io.
117 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
118 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
119 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
120 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
121 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
122 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
123 portable_socketpair.
124 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
125 YMMV.
126
1274.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
128 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
129 uppercase targets.
130 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
131 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
132 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
4 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context 133 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context

19 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first, 149 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,

151 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
152 and because it was documented that way.
