1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2 2
3 - add some recommends to the META.yml. 34.801
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 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
13 YMMV.
14
154.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
16 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
17 uppercase targets.
18 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
19 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
20 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
21 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
22 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
23 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
24 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
25 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
26 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
27 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
28 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
29 in the common case.
30 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
31 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
32 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
33 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
34 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
35 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
36 from the constructor.
37 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
38 then fall back to JSON.
39 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
40 and because it was documented that way.
41
424.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
43 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
44 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
45
464.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
47 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
48 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
49 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
50 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
51 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
52 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
53 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
54 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
55 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
56
574.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
58 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
59 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
60 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
61 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
62 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
63
644.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
65 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
66 and set it on the default resolver.
67 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
68 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
69 when running in tainted mode.
70 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
71
724.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
73 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
74
754.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
76 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
77 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
78 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
79 destructors.
80 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
81 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
82 implementation.
83 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
84 for cosmetic reasons.
85
864.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
87 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
88 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
89 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
90 - sped up Tk timer handling.
91 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
92 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
93 - fix Qt timers without interval.
94 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
95
964.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
97 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
98 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
99 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
100
1014.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
102 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
103 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
104 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
105 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
106
1074.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
108 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
109 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
110 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
111 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
112 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
113 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
114 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
115 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
116 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
117 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
118 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
119
1204.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
121 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
122 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
123 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
124 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
125 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
126 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
127 backend.
128 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
129
1304.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
131 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
132 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
133 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
134 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
135 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
136 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
137
1384.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
139 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
140 illegal.
141 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
142 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
143 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
144 by Adam Rosenstein).
145 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
146 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
147 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
148
1494.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
150 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
151 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
152 the socket type.
153 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
154
1554.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
156 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
157 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
158 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
159 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
160 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
161 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
162
1634.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
164 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
165 unless one has been installed already.
166 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
167 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
168 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
169 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
170 client would first wait for some data by the server and
171 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
172 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
173 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
174 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
175 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
176 Rosenstein).
177 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
178 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
179 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
180 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
181 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
182 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
183 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
184 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
185 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
186 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
187 now, more to come, though.
188 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
189
1904.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
191 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
192 no trace events.
193 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
194 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
195 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
196 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
197 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
198 Time::HiRes).
199
2004.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
201 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
202 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
203
2044.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
205 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
206 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
207 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
208 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
209
2104.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
211 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
212 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
213 perls without resource leaks or worse).
214
2154.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
216 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
217 the callback.
218 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
219 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
220 eol marker.
221 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
222 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
223 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
224
2254.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
226 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
227 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
228 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
229 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
230 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
231
2324.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
233 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
234 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
235 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
236 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
237 unusable way.
238 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
239 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
240 K. Sharifulin).
241
2424.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
243 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
244 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
245 be delayed under some circumstances.
246 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
247 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
248 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
249 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
250 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
251 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
252
2534.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
254 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
255 assumption that all data could be written before read
256 (reported by Jim Razmus).
257
2584.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
259 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
260 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
261 implementation (also affected child watchers).
262 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
263
2644.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
265 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
266 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
267 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
268
2694.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
270 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
271 works.
272
2734.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
274 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
275 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
276 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
277 for AnyEvent::Handle.
278 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
279 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
280
2814.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
282 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
283 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
284 executing the guard block as warnings.
285 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
286
2874.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
288 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
289 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
290 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
291 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
292 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
293 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
294 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
295 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
296 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
297 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
298 enter an endless loop.
299 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
300 busy again after idling.
301 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
302 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
303 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
304 (hopefully).
305 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
306 away any time.
307
3084.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
309 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
310 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
311 - allow more options in on_error.
312
3134.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
314 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
315 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
316 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
317 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
318 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
319 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
320 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
321 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
322 rfc 2782.
323 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
324 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
325 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
326 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
327 could die. this has been fixed.
328 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
329 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
330 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
331 for resolver class.
332 - update version numbers in all modules.
333
3344.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
335 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
336 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
337 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
338 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
339 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
340 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
341 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
342 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
343 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
344 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
4 - added a a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle. 345 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
346 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
5 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle. 347 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
6 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle. 348 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
7 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call. 349 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
350 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
351 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
352 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
353 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
354 but EV also works around this).
355 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
356 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
357 vs. callback arguments.
358 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
