2 2
3TODO: implement getprotobyname
4 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
5 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
6 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
7 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
8 on_read callbacks.
9 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
10
114.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
12 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
13 callbacks.
14 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
15 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
16 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
17 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
18 Event::Lib.
19 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
20 to rarely fail.
21
224.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
23 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
24 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
25 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
26 in AnyEvent->io.
27 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
28 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
29 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
30 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
31 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
32 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
33 portable_socketpair.
34 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
35 YMMV.
36
374.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
38 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
39 uppercase targets.
40 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
41 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
42 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
43 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
44 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
45 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
46 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
47 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
48 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
49 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
50 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
51 in the common case.
52 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
53 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
54 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
55 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
56 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
57 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
58 from the constructor.
59 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
60 then fall back to JSON.
61 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
62 and because it was documented that way.
63
644.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
65 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
66 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
67
684.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
69 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
70 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
71 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
72 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
73 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
74 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
75 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
76 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
77 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
78
794.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
80 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
81 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
82 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
83 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
84 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
85
864.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
87 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
88 and set it on the default resolver.
89 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
90 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
91 when running in tainted mode.
92 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
93
944.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
95 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
96
974.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
98 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
99 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
100 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
101 destructors.
102 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
103 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
104 implementation.
105 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
106 for cosmetic reasons.
107
1084.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
109 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
110 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
111 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
112 - sped up Tk timer handling.
113 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
114 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
115 - fix Qt timers without interval.
116 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
117
1184.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
119 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
120 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
121 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
122
1234.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
124 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
125 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
126 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
127 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
128
1294.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
130 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
131 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
132 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
133 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
134 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
135 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
136 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
137 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
138 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
139 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
140 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
141
1424.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
143 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
144 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
145 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
146 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
147 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
148 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
149 backend.
150 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
151
1524.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
153 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
154 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
155 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
156 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
157 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
158 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
159
1604.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
161 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
162 illegal.
163 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
164 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
165 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
166 by Adam Rosenstein).
167 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
168 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
169 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
170
1714.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
172 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
173 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
174 the socket type.
175 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
176
1774.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
178 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
179 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
180 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
181 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
182 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
183 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
184
1854.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
186 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
187 unless one has been installed already.
188 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
189 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
190 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
191 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
192 client would first wait for some data by the server and
193 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
194 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
195 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
196 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
197 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
198 Rosenstein).
199 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
200 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
201 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
202 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
203 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
204 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
205 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
206 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
207 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
208 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
209 now, more to come, though.
210 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
211
2124.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
213 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
214 no trace events.
215 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
216 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
217 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
218 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
219 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
220 Time::HiRes).
221
2224.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
223 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
224 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
225
2264.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
227 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
228 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
229 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
230 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
231
2324.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
233 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
234 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
235 perls without resource leaks or worse).
236
2374.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
238 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
239 the callback.
240 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
241 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
242 eol marker.
243 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
244 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
245 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
246
2474.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
248 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
249 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
250 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
251 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
252 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
253
2544.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
255 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
256 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
257 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
258 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
259 unusable way.
260 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
261 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
262 K. Sharifulin).
263
2644.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
265 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
266 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
267 be delayed under some circumstances.
268 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
269 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
270 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
271 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
272 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
273 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
274
2754.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
276 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
277 assumption that all data could be written before read
278 (reported by Jim Razmus).
279
2804.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
281 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
282 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
283 implementation (also affected child watchers).
284 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
285
2864.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
287 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
288 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
289 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
290
2914.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
292 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
293 works.
294
2954.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
296 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
297 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
298 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
299 for AnyEvent::Handle.
300 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
301 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
302
3034.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
304 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
305 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
306 executing the guard block as warnings.
307 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
308
3094.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
310 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
311 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
312 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
313 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
314 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
315 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
316 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
317 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
318 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
319 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
320 enter an endless loop.
321 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
322 busy again after idling.
323 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
324 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
325 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
326 (hopefully).
327 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
328 away any time.
329
3304.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
331 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
332 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
333 - allow more options in on_error.
334
3354.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
336 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
337 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
338 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
339 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
340 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
341 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
342 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
343 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
344 rfc 2782.
345 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
346 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
347 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
348 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
349 could die. this has been fixed.
350 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
351 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
352 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
353 for resolver class.
354 - update version numbers in all modules.
355
3564.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
357 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
358 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
359 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
360 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
361 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
362 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
363 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
364 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
365 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
366 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
367 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
368 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
369 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
370 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
371 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
372 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
373 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
374 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
375 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
376 but EV also works around this).
377 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
378 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
379 vs. callback arguments.
380 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
381
3824.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
383 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
384 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
385 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
386 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
387
3884.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
389 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
390 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
391 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
392 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
393 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
394 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
395 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
396 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
397 sake of perl 5.8.
398 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
399 (still a hack...)
400 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
401 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
402 die handlers.
403
4044.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
405 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
406 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
3 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push. 407 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
4 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes. 408 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
409 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
410 - updated documentation.
411 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
412 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
413 in AnyEvent::Handle.
414 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
415 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
416 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
5 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle; 417 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
