2 2
3 - add some recommends to the META.yml. 34.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
4 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
5 callbacks.
6 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
7 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
8 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
9 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
10 Event::Lib.
11 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
12 to rarely fail.
13
144.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
15 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
16 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
17 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
18 in AnyEvent->io.
19 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
20 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
21 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
22 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
23 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
24 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
25 portable_socketpair.
26 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
27 YMMV.
28
294.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
30 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
31 uppercase targets.
32 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
33 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
34 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
35 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
36 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
37 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
38 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
39 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
40 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
41 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
42 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
43 in the common case.
44 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
45 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
46 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
47 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
48 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
49 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
50 from the constructor.
51 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
52 then fall back to JSON.
53 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
54 and because it was documented that way.
55
564.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
57 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
58 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
59
604.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
61 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
62 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
63 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
64 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
65 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
66 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
67 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
68 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
69 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
70
714.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
72 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
73 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
74 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
75 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
76 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
77
784.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
79 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
80 and set it on the default resolver.
81 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
82 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
83 when running in tainted mode.
84 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
85
864.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
87 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
88
894.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
90 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
91 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
92 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
93 destructors.
94 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
95 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
96 implementation.
97 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
98 for cosmetic reasons.
99
1004.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
101 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
102 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
103 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
104 - sped up Tk timer handling.
105 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
106 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
107 - fix Qt timers without interval.
108 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
109
1104.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
111 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
112 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
113 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
114
1154.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
116 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
117 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
118 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
119 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
120
1214.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
122 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
123 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
124 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
125 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
126 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
127 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
128 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
129 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
130 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
131 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
132 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
133
1344.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
135 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
136 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
137 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
138 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
139 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
140 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
141 backend.
142 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
143
1444.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
145 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
146 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
147 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
148 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
149 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
150 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
151
1524.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
153 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
154 illegal.
155 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
156 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
157 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
158 by Adam Rosenstein).
159 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
160 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
161 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
162
1634.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
164 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
165 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
166 the socket type.
167 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
168
1694.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
170 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
171 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
172 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
173 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
174 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
175 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
176
1774.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
178 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
179 unless one has been installed already.
180 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
181 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
182 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
183 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
184 client would first wait for some data by the server and
185 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
186 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
187 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
188 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
189 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
190 Rosenstein).
191 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
192 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
193 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
194 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
195 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
196 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
197 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
198 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
199 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
200 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
201 now, more to come, though.
202 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
203
2044.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
205 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
206 no trace events.
207 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
208 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
209 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
210 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
211 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
212 Time::HiRes).
213
2144.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
215 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
216 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
217
2184.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
219 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
220 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
221 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
222 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
223
2244.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
225 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
226 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
227 perls without resource leaks or worse).
228
2294.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
230 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
231 the callback.
232 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
233 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
234 eol marker.
235 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
236 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
237 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
238
2394.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
240 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
241 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
242 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
243 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
244 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
245
2464.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
247 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
248 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
249 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
250 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
251 unusable way.
252 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
253 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
254 K. Sharifulin).
255
2564.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
257 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
258 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
259 be delayed under some circumstances.
260 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
261 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
262 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
263 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
264 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
265 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
266
2674.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
268 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
269 assumption that all data could be written before read
270 (reported by Jim Razmus).
271
2724.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
273 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
274 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
275 implementation (also affected child watchers).
276 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
277
2784.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
279 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
280 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
281 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
282
2834.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
284 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
285 works.
286
2874.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
288 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
289 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
290 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
291 for AnyEvent::Handle.
292 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
293 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
294
2954.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
296 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
297 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
298 executing the guard block as warnings.
299 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
300
3014.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
302 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
303 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
304 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
305 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
306 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
307 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
308 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
309 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
310 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
311 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
312 enter an endless loop.
313 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
314 busy again after idling.
315 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
316 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
317 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
318 (hopefully).
319 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
320 away any time.
321
3224.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
323 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
324 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
325 - allow more options in on_error.
326
3274.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
328 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
329 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
330 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
331 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
332 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
333 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
334 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
335 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
336 rfc 2782.
337 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
338 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
339 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
340 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
341 could die. this has been fixed.
342 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
343 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
344 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
345 for resolver class.
346 - update version numbers in all modules.
347
3484.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
349 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
350 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
351 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
352 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
353 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
354 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
355 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
356 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
357 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
358 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
4 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle. 359 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.

6 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle. 361 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
7 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle. 362 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
8 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call. 363 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
364 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
9 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty 365 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
10 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this 366 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
11 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops, 367 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
12 but EV also works around this). 368 but EV also works around this).
369 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
13 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle 370 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
14 vs. callback arguments. 371 vs. callback arguments.
372 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
