3ZERO_RETURN - stoptls? 3TODO: pass values to anyevent condvar callback, make this count as recv.
4TODO: resolv.conf nameserver blabla # comment does not work
55.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
6 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
7 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
8 - port to broken win32 perls.
9
105.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
11 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
12 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
13 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
14 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
15 OSes as well).
16
175.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
18 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
19 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
20 to reduce dependency on JSON.
21
225.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
23 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
24 one (was broken since 4.91).
25 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
26 when retrying a tcp_connect.
27 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
28 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
29
305.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
31 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
32
335.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
34 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
35 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
36 in AnyEvent::Handle.
37 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
38 settings.
39 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
40 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
41 exporting the probe function).
42 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
43 code to work around it's watcher limits.
44 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
45 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
46 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
47 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
48 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
49
504.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
51 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
52 already contains some TLS handshake.
53 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
54 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
55 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
56 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
57 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
58
594.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
60 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
61 a negative value, so avoid that.
62 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
63 after the condition is already signalled.
64 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
65 data.
66 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
67 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
68 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
69 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
70 any issues).
71 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
72 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
73 by name (not name or number).
74 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
75 only compiling signal code when necessary.
76 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
77 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
78 said future/alternative API.
79 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
80
814.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
82 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
83 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
84 (analyzed by elmex).
85
864.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
87 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
88 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
89 for errors after every push_write etc.
90 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
91 platforms.
92
934.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
94 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
95 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
96 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
97 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
98 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
99 tutorial accordingly.
100 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
101
1024.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
103 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
104 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
105 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
106 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
107 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
108 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
109 in IO::Async.
110
1114.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
112 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
113 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
114 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
115 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
116 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
117 documentation.
118 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
119 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
120 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
121 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
122 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
123 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
124
1254.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
126 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
127 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
128 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
129 this trap.
130 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
131 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
132 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
133 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
134 on_read callbacks.
135 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
136
1374.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
138 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
139 callbacks.
140 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
141 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
142 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
143 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
144 Event::Lib.
145 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
146 to rarely fail.
147
1484.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
149 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
150 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
151 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
152 in AnyEvent->io.
153 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
154 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
155 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
156 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
157 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
158 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
159 portable_socketpair.
160 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
161 YMMV.
162
1634.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
4 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with 164 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
5 uppercase targets. 165 uppercase targets.
166 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
167 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
168 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
6 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context 169 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context

181 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.

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