4 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
5 in AnyEvent->io.
6 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
7 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
8 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
9 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
10 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
11 portable_socketpair.
12
134.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
14 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
15 uppercase targets.
16 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
17 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
18 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
19 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
20 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
21 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
22 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
23 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
24 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
25 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
26 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
27 in the common case.
28 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
29 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
30 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
31 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
32 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
33 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
34 from the constructor.
35 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
36 then fall back to JSON.
37 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
38 and because it was documented that way.
39
404.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
41 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
42 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
43
444.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
45 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
46 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
47 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
48 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
49 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
50 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
51 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
52 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
53 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
54
554.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
56 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
57 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
58 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
59 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
60 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
61
624.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
63 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
64 and set it on the default resolver.
65 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
66 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
67 when running in tainted mode.
68 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
69
704.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
71 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
72
734.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
74 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
75 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
76 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
77 destructors.
78 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
79 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
80 implementation.
81 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
82 for cosmetic reasons.
83
844.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
85 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
86 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
87 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
88 - sped up Tk timer handling.
89 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
90 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
91 - fix Qt timers without interval.
92 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
93
944.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
95 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
96 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
97 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
98
994.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
100 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
101 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
102 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
103 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
104
1054.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
106 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
107 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
108 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
109 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
110 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
111 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
112 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
113 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
114 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
115 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
116 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
117
1184.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
119 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
120 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
121 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
122 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
123 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
124 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
125 backend.
126 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
127
1284.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
129 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
130 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
131 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
132 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
133 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
134 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
135
1364.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
137 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
138 illegal.
139 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
140 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
141 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
142 by Adam Rosenstein).
143 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
144 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
145 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
146
1474.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
148 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
149 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
150 the socket type.
151 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
152
1534.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
154 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
155 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
156 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
157 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
158 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
159 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
160
1614.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
162 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
163 unless one has been installed already.
164 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
165 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
166 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
167 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
168 client would first wait for some data by the server and
169 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
170 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
171 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
172 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
173 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
174 Rosenstein).
175 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
176 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
177 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
178 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
179 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
180 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
181 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
182 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
183 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
184 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
185 now, more to come, though.
186 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
187
1884.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
189 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
190 no trace events.
191 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
192 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
193 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
194 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
195 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
196 Time::HiRes).
197
1984.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
199 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
200 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
201
2024.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
203 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
204 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
205 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
206 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
207
2084.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
209 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
210 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
211 perls without resource leaks or worse).
212
2134.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
214 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
215 the callback.
216 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
217 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
218 eol marker.
219 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
220 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
221 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
222
2234.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
224 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
225 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
226 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
227 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
228 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
229
2304.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
231 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
232 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
233 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
234 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
235 unusable way.
236 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
237 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
238 K. Sharifulin).
239
2404.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
241 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
242 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
243 be delayed under some circumstances.
244 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
245 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
246 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
247 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
248 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
249 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
250
2514.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
252 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
253 assumption that all data could be written before read
254 (reported by Jim Razmus).
255
2564.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
257 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
258 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
259 implementation (also affected child watchers).
260 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
261
2624.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
263 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
264 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
265 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
266
2674.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
268 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
269 works.
270
2714.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
272 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
273 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
274 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
275 for AnyEvent::Handle.
276 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
277 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
278
2794.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
280 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
281 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
282 executing the guard block as warnings.
283 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
284
2854.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
286 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
287 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
288 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
289 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
290 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
291 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
292 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
293 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
294 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
295 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
296 enter an endless loop.
297 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
298 busy again after idling.
299 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
300 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
301 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
302 (hopefully).
303 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
304 away any time.
305
3064.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
307 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
308 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
309 - allow more options in on_error.
310
3114.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
