1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2 2
3 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
4 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
5 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
6
74.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
8 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
9 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
10 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
11 in AnyEvent->io.
12 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
13 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
14 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
15 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
16 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
17 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
18 portable_socketpair.
19 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
20 YMMV.
21
224.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
23 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
24 uppercase targets.
25 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
26 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
27 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
28 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
29 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
30 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
31 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
32 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
33 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
34 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
35 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
36 in the common case.
37 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
38 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
39 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
40 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
41 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
42 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
43 from the constructor.
44 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
45 then fall back to JSON.
46 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
47 and because it was documented that way.
48
494.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
50 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
51 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
52
534.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
54 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
55 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
56 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
57 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
58 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
59 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
60 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
61 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
62 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
63
644.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
65 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
66 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
67 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
68 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
69 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
70
714.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
72 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
73 and set it on the default resolver.
74 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
75 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
76 when running in tainted mode.
77 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
78
794.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
80 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
81
824.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
83 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
84 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
85 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
86 destructors.
87 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
88 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
89 implementation.
90 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
91 for cosmetic reasons.
92
934.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
94 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
95 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
96 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
97 - sped up Tk timer handling.
98 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
99 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
100 - fix Qt timers without interval.
101 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
102
1034.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
104 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
105 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
106 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
107
1084.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
109 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
110 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
111 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
112 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
113
1144.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
115 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
116 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
117 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
118 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
119 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
120 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
121 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
122 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
123 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
124 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
125 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
126
1274.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
128 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
129 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
130 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
131 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
132 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
133 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
134 backend.
135 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
136
1374.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
138 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
139 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
140 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
141 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
142 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
143 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
144
1454.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
146 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
147 illegal.
148 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
149 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
150 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
151 by Adam Rosenstein).
152 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
153 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
154 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
155
1564.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
157 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
158 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
159 the socket type.
160 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
161
1624.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
163 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
164 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
165 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
166 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
167 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
168 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
169
1704.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
171 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
172 unless one has been installed already.
173 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
174 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
175 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
176 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
177 client would first wait for some data by the server and
178 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
179 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
180 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
181 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
182 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
183 Rosenstein).
184 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
185 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
186 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
187 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
188 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
189 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
190 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
191 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
192 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
193 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
194 now, more to come, though.
195 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
196
1974.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
3 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported, 198 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
4 no trace events. 199 no trace events.
200 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
5 - perl backend will not use POSIX::times as monotonic clock 201 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
6 when available and the monotonic clock option is not. 202 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
7 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not 203 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
8 provide sub-second accuracy (all supported perl versions have 204 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
9 Time::HiRes). 205 Time::HiRes).
