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.

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).
4 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle: 168 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:

7 otherwise hang. (Reported and analyzed in an absolutely 171 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
8 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein). 172 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
9 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated 173 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
10 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state. 174 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.

12 Rosenstein). 176 Rosenstein).
13 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context 177 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
14 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) - 178 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
15 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever. 179 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
16 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode. 180 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
17 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify 181 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify

183 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
184 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
19 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account. 185 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
20 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster 186 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
21 now, more to come, though. 187 now, more to come, though.
188 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
