Revision 1.266 by root, Mon Jul 6 23:42:24 2009 UTC

1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2
3 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
4 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
5 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
6
74.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
8 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
9 uppercase targets.
10 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
11 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
12 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
13 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
14 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
15 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
16 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
17 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
18 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
19 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
20 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
21 in the common case.
22 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
23 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
24 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
25 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
26 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
27 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
28 from the constructor.
29 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
30 then fall back to JSON.
31 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
32 and because it was documented that way.
33
344.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
35 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
36 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
37
384.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
39 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
40 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
41 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
42 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
43 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
44 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
45 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
46 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
47 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
48
494.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
50 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
51 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
52 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
53 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
54 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
55
564.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
57 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
58 and set it on the default resolver.
59 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
60 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
61 when running in tainted mode.
62 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
63
644.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
65 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
66
674.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
68 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
69 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
70 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
71 destructors.
72 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
73 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
74 implementation.
75 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
76 for cosmetic reasons.
77
784.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
79 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
80 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
81 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
82 - sped up Tk timer handling.
83 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
84 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
85 - fix Qt timers without interval.
86 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
87
884.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
89 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
90 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
91 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
92
934.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
94 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
95 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
96 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
97 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
98
994.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
100 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
101 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
102 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
103 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
104 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
105 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
106 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
107 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
108 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
109 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
110 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
111
1124.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
113 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
114 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
115 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
116 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
117 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
118 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
119 backend.
120 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
121
1224.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
123 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
124 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
125 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
126 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
127 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
128 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
129
1304.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
131 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
132 illegal.
133 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
134 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
135 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
136 by Adam Rosenstein).
137 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
138 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
139 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
140
1414.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
142 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
143 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
144 the socket type.
145 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
146
1474.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
148 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
149 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
150 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
151 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
152 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
153 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
154
1554.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
156 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
157 unless one has been installed already.
158 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
159 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
160 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
161 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
162 client would first wait for some data by the server and
163 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
164 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
165 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
166 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
167 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
168 Rosenstein).
169 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
170 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
171 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
172 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
173 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
174 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
175 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
176 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
177 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
178 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
179 now, more to come, though.
180 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
181
1824.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
183 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
184 no trace events.
185 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
186 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
187 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
188 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
189 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
190 Time::HiRes).
191
1924.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
193 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
194 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
195
1964.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
197 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
198 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
199 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
200 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
201
2024.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
203 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
204 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
205 perls without resource leaks or worse).
206
2074.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
208 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
209 the callback.
210 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
211 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
212 eol marker.
213 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
214 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
215 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
216
2174.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
218 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
219 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
220 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
221 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
222 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
223
2244.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
225 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
226 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
227 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
228 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
229 unusable way.
230 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
231 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
232 K. Sharifulin).
233
2344.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
235 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
236 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
237 be delayed under some circumstances.
238 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
239 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
240 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
241 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
242 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
243 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
244
2454.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
246 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
247 assumption that all data could be written before read
248 (reported by Jim Razmus).
249
2504.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
251 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
252 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
253 implementation (also affected child watchers).
254 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
255
2564.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
257 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
258 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
259 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
260
2614.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
262 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
263 works.
264
2654.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
266 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
267 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
268 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
269 for AnyEvent::Handle.
270 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
271 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
272
2734.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
274 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
275 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
276 executing the guard block as warnings.
277 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
278
2794.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
280 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
281 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
282 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
283 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
284 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
285 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
286 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
287 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
288 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
289 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
290 enter an endless loop.
291 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
292 busy again after idling.
293 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
294 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
295 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
296 (hopefully).
297 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
298 away any time.
299
3004.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
301 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
302 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
303 - allow more options in on_error.
304
3054.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
306 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
307 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
308 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
309 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
310 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
311 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
312 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
313 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
314 rfc 2782.
315 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
316 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
317 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
318 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
319 could die. this has been fixed.
320 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
321 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
322 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
323 for resolver class.
324 - update version numbers in all modules.
325
3264.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
327 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
328 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
329 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
330 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
331 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
332 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
333 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
334 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
335 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
336 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
337 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
338 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
339 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
340 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
341 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
342 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
343 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
344 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
345 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
346 but EV also works around this).
347 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
348 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
349 vs. callback arguments.
350 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
351
3524.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
353 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
354 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
355 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
356 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
357
3584.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
359 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
360 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
361 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
362 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
363 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
364 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
365 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
366 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
367 sake of perl 5.8.
368 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
369 (still a hack...)
370 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
371 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
372 die handlers.
373
3744.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
375 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
376 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
377 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
378 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
379 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
380 - updated documentation.
381 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
382 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
383 in AnyEvent::Handle.
384 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
385 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
386 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
387 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
388
3894.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
390 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
391 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
392 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
393 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
394 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
395 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
396 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
397 verbatim ip addresses.
398 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
399 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
400 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
401 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
402 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
403 become writable until empty.
404 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
405 returns ENOTCONN.
406 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
407 override.
408 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
409
4103.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
411 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
412 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
413 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
414 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
415 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
416 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
417 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
418 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
419 first and second argument.
420 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
421 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
422 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
423 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
424 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
425
4263.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
427 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
428
4293.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
430 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
431 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
432 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
433 (still subject to change).
434 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
435 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
436 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
437 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
438 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
439 via Coro::AnyEvent.
2 440
33.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008 4413.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
4 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules. 442 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
5 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive 443 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
