10 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
11 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve directly,
12 and ->request and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions
13 such as AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected.
14 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
15 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
16 methods.
17 - DEPRECIATION: please change
18 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
19 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
20 in your programs, for future compatibility.
21 - new function: AnyEvent::postpone.
22 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
23 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
24 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
25 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
26 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
27 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
28 and (newly introduced) in POE.
29 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
30 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
31 - add support for (currently third-party) AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK.
32 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
33 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
34 (reported by Gerald Galster).
35 - resolve AnyEvent::Util::guard at first-use-time, not at load time,
36 for further speed and memory savings when not used.
37 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
38 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
39 do not support blocking waits.
40
415.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
42 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
43 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
44 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
45
465.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
47 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
48 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
49 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
50 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
51 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
52 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
53 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
54 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
55 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
56 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
57 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
58 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
59 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
60
615.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
62 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
63 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
64 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
65 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
66 documentation for caveats.
67 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
68 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
69 AnyEvent::Handle).
70 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
71 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
72
735.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
74 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
75 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
76 the availabilty of a default loop!
77 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
78 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
79 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
80 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
81 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
82 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
83 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
84 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
85
865.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
87 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
88 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
89 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
90 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
91 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
92 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
93 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
94 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
95 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
96 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
97 as part of the perl core.
98 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
99 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
100 minimal perl...).
101
1025.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
103 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
104 actually used in tcp_server.
105 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
106 missing.
107 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
108 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
109 resulting in more informative error messages.
110 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
111 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
112 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
113 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
114 of AnyEvent::TLS.
115 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
116 requested by Ron Isaacson.
117 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
118 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
119 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
120 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
121 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
122
1235.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
124 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
125
1265.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
127 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
128 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
129 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
130 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
131 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
132 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
133 - better/more condvar examples.
134
1355.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
136 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
137 time (found by Andy Grundman).
138
1395.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
140 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
141 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
142 by Bas Denissen).
143 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
144 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
145 EV and Perl backends.
146 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
147 backends.
148 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
149 never documented nor universally supported).
150 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
151 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
152
1535.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
154 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
155 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
156 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
157
1585.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
159 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
160 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
161 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
162 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
163 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
164 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
165 by lucky accident on win32.
166 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
167 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
168 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
169 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
170 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
171 detection and eval.
172 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
173 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
174 (same algorithm as EV).
175 - update unicode idna mapping table.
176
1775.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
178 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
179 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
180 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
181 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
182
1835.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
184 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
185 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
186 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
187 - provide $AE::VERSION.
188 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
189
1905.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
191 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
192 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
193 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
194 when passing scalar data to extensions).
195 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
196 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
197 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
198 (John Beppu).
199 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
200 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
201 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
202 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
203
2045.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
205 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
206 (spotted by David Friedland).
207 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
208 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
209 unless you rip out everything but the core).
210 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
211 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
212
2135.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
214 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
215 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
216 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
217 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
218 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
219
2205.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
221 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
222 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
223 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
224 (analysed by elmex).
225
2265.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
227 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
228 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
229 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
230 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
231 AnyEvent::Handle.
232 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
233 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
234 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
235 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
236
2375.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
238 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
239 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
240 by Michael S. Fischer).
241 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
242 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
243 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
244 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
245 by default.
246 - fix some prototypes.
247 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
248 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
249
2505.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
251 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
252 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
253 - port to broken win32 perls.
254
2555.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
256 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
257 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
258 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
259 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
260 OSes as well).
261
2625.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
263 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
264 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
265 to reduce dependency on JSON.
266
2675.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
268 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
269 one (was broken since 4.91).
270 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
271 when retrying a tcp_connect.
272 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
273 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
274
2755.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
276 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
277
2785.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
279 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
280 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
281 in AnyEvent::Handle.
282 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
283 settings.
284 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
285 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
286 exporting the probe function).
287 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
288 code to work around it's watcher limits.
289 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
290 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
291 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
292 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
293 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
294
2954.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
296 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
297 already contains some TLS handshake.
298 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
299 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
300 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
301 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
302 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
303
3044.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
305 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
306 a negative value, so avoid that.
307 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
308 after the condition is already signalled.
309 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
310 data.
311 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
312 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
313 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
314 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
315 any issues).
316 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
317 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
318 by name (not name or number).
319 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
320 only compiling signal code when necessary.
321 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
322 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
323 said future/alternative API.
324 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
325
3264.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
327 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
328 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
329 (analysed by elmex).
330
3314.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
332 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
333 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
334 for errors after every push_write etc.
335 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
336 platforms.
337
3384.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
339 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
340 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
341 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
342 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
343 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
344 tutorial accordingly.
345 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
346
3474.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
348 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
349 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
350 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
351 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
352 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
353 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
354 in IO::Async.
355
3564.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
357 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
358 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
359 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
360 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
361 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
362 documentation.
363 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
364 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
365 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
366 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
367 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
368 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
369
3704.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
371 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
372 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
373 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
374 this trap.
375 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
376 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
377 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
378 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
379 on_read callbacks.
380 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
381
3824.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
3 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as 383 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
4 callbacks. 384 callbacks.
5 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names 385 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
6 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX 386 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
7 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/. 387 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
1764.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008 5564.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
