1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2 2
3 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
4 in AnyEvent->io.
5 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
6 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
7 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
8 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.

104.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
11 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
12 uppercase targets.
13 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
14 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
15 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
16 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
17 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
18 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
19 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
20 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
21 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
22 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
23 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
24 in the common case.
25 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
26 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
27 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
28 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
29 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
30 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
31 from the constructor.
32 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
33 then fall back to JSON.
34 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
35 and because it was documented that way.
36
374.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
38 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
39 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
40
414.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
42 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
43 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
44 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
45 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
46 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
47 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
48 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
49 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
50 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
51
524.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
53 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
54 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
55 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
56 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
57 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
58
594.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
60 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
61 and set it on the default resolver.
62 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
63 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
64 when running in tainted mode.
65 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
66
674.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
68 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
69
704.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
71 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
72 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
73 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
74 destructors.
75 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
76 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
77 implementation.
78 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
79 for cosmetic reasons.
80
814.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
82 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
83 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
84 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
85 - sped up Tk timer handling.
86 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
87 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
88 - fix Qt timers without interval.
89 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
90
914.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
92 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
93 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
94 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
95
964.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
97 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
98 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
99 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
100 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
101
1024.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
103 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
104 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
105 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
106 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
107 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
108 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
109 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
110 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
111 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
112 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
113 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
114
1154.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
116 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
117 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
118 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
119 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
120 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
121 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
122 backend.
123 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
124
1254.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
126 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
127 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
128 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
129 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
130 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
131 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
132
1334.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
134 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
135 illegal.
136 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
137 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
138 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
139 by Adam Rosenstein).
140 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
141 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
142 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
143
1444.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
145 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
146 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
147 the socket type.
148 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
149
1504.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
151 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
152 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
153 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
154 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
155 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
156 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
157
1584.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
159 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
160 unless one has been installed already.
161 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
162 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
163 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
164 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
165 client would first wait for some data by the server and
166 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
167 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
168 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
169 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
170 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
171 Rosenstein).
172 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
173 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
174 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
175 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
176 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
177 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
178 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
179 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
180 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
181 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
182 now, more to come, though.
183 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
184
1854.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
186 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
187 no trace events.
188 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
189 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
190 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
191 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
192 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
193 Time::HiRes).
194
1954.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
196 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
197 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
198
1994.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
200 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
201 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
202 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
203 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
204
2054.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
206 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
207 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
208 perls without resource leaks or worse).
209
2104.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
211 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
212 the callback.
213 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
214 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
215 eol marker.
216 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
217 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
218 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
219
2204.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
221 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
222 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
223 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
224 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
225 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
226
2274.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
228 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
229 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
230 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
231 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
232 unusable way.
233 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
234 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
235 K. Sharifulin).
236
2374.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
238 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
239 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
240 be delayed under some circumstances.
241 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
242 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
243 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
244 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
245 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
246 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
247
2484.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
249 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
250 assumption that all data could be written before read
251 (reported by Jim Razmus).
252
2534.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
254 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
255 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
256 implementation (also affected child watchers).
257 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
258
2594.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
260 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
261 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
262 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
263
2644.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
265 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
266 works.
267
2684.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
269 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
270 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
271 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
272 for AnyEvent::Handle.
273 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
274 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
275
2764.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
277 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
278 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
279 executing the guard block as warnings.
280 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
281
2824.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
283 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
284 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
285 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
286 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
287 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
288 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
289 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
290 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
291 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
292 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
293 enter an endless loop.
294 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
295 busy again after idling.
296 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
297 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
298 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
299 (hopefully).
300 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
301 away any time.
302
3034.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
304 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
305 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
306 - allow more options in on_error.
307
3084.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
309 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
310 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
311 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
3 - provide more documentation for the resolver class. 312 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
4 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address, 313 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
5 also properly convert :: and ::1 again. 314 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.

8 rfc 2782. 317 rfc 2782.
9 - replace ptr by real ptr lookup, provide reverse_lookup 318 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
10 and reverse_verify to replace it, support v4mapped and 319 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
11 v4compat addresses. 320 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
321 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
322 could die. this has been fixed.
323 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
324 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
325 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
326 for resolver class.
327 - update version numbers in all modules.
