1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2 2
3 - ignore possible spurious wake-ups.
4
54.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
6 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
7 callbacks.
8 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
9 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
10 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
11 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
12 Event::Lib.
13 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
14 to rarely fail.
15
164.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
17 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
18 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
19 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
20 in AnyEvent->io.
21 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
22 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
23 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
24 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
25 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
26 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
27 portable_socketpair.
28 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
29 YMMV.
30
314.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
32 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
33 uppercase targets.
34 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
35 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
36 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
37 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
38 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
39 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
40 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
41 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
42 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
43 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
44 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
45 in the common case.
46 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
47 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
48 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
49 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
50 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
51 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
52 from the constructor.
53 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
54 then fall back to JSON.
55 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
56 and because it was documented that way.
57
584.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
59 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
60 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
61
624.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
63 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
64 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
65 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
66 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
67 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
68 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
69 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
70 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
71 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
72
734.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
74 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
75 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
76 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
77 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
78 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
79
804.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
81 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
82 and set it on the default resolver.
83 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
84 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
85 when running in tainted mode.
86 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
87
884.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
89 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
90
914.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
92 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
93 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
94 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
95 destructors.
96 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
97 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
98 implementation.
99 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
100 for cosmetic reasons.
101
1024.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
103 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
104 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
105 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
106 - sped up Tk timer handling.
107 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
108 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
109 - fix Qt timers without interval.
110 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
111
1124.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
113 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
114 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
115 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
116
1174.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
118 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
119 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
120 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
121 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
122
1234.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
124 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
125 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
126 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
127 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
128 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
129 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
130 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
131 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
132 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
133 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
134 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
135
1364.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
137 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
138 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
139 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
140 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
141 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
142 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
143 backend.
144 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
145
1464.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
147 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
148 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
149 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
150 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
151 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
152 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
153
1544.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
155 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
156 illegal.
157 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
158 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
159 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
160 by Adam Rosenstein).
161 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
162 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
163 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
164
1654.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
166 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
167 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
168 the socket type.
169 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
170
1714.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
172 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
173 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
174 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
175 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
176 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
177 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
178
1794.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
180 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
181 unless one has been installed already.
182 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
183 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
184 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
185 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
186 client would first wait for some data by the server and
187 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
188 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
189 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
190 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
191 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
192 Rosenstein).
193 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
194 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
195 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
196 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
197 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
198 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
199 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
200 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
201 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
202 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
203 now, more to come, though.
204 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
205
2064.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
207 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
208 no trace events.
209 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
210 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
211 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
212 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
213 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
214 Time::HiRes).
215
2164.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
217 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
218 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
219
2204.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
221 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
222 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
223 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
224 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
225
2264.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
227 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
228 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
229 perls without resource leaks or worse).
230
2314.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
232 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
233 the callback.
234 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
235 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
236 eol marker.
237 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
238 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
239 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
240
2414.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
242 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
243 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
244 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
245 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
246 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
247
2484.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
249 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
250 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
251 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
252 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
253 unusable way.
254 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
255 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
256 K. Sharifulin).
257
2584.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
259 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
260 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
261 be delayed under some circumstances.
262 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
263 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
264 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
265 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
266 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
267 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
268
2694.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
270 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
271 assumption that all data could be written before read
272 (reported by Jim Razmus).
273
2744.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
275 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
276 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
277 implementation (also affected child watchers).
278 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
279
2804.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
281 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
282 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
283 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
284
2854.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
286 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
287 works.
288
2894.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
290 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
291 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
292 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
293 for AnyEvent::Handle.
294 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
295 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
296
2974.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
298 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
299 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
300 executing the guard block as warnings.
301 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
302
3034.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
304 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
305 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
306 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
307 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
308 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
309 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
310 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
311 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
312 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
313 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
314 enter an endless loop.
315 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
316 busy again after idling.
317 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
318 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
319 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
320 (hopefully).
321 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
322 away any time.
323
3244.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
325 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
326 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
327 - allow more options in on_error.
328
3294.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
330 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
331 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
332 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
333 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
334 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
335 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
336 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
337 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
338 rfc 2782.
339 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
340 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
341 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
342 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
343 could die. this has been fixed.
344 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
345 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
346 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
347 for resolver class.
348 - update version numbers in all modules.
349
3504.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
351 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
352 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
353 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
354 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
355 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
356 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
357 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
358 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
359 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
360 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
361 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
362 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
363 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
364 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
365 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
366 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
367 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
368 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
369 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
370 but EV also works around this).
371 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
372 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
373 vs. callback arguments.
374 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
375
3764.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
377 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
378 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
379 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
380 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
381
3824.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
383 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
384 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
385 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
386 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
387 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
388 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
389 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
390 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
391 sake of perl 5.8.
392 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
393 (still a hack...)
394 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
395 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
396 die handlers.
397
3984.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
399 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
400 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
401 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
402 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
403 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
404 - updated documentation.
405 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
406 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
407 in AnyEvent::Handle.
408 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
409 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
410 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
411 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
412
4134.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
414 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
415 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
416 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
417 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
418 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
419 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
420 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
421 verbatim ip addresses.
422 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
423 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
424 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
425 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
426 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
427 become writable until empty.
3 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername 428 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
4 returns ENOTCONN. 429 returns ENOTCONN.
5 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP brutal 430 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
6 override. 431 override.
432 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.

83.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008 4343.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
9 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC 435 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
10 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41). 436 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).

25 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao. 451 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
26 452
273.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008 4533.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
28 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful 454 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
29 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented). 455 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
30 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API 456 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
