34.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
4 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
5 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
6 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
7 this trap.
8 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
9 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
10 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
11 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
12 on_read callbacks.
13 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
14
154.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
16 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
17 callbacks.
18 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
19 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
20 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
21 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
22 Event::Lib.
23 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
24 to rarely fail.
25
264.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
27 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
28 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
29 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
30 in AnyEvent->io.
31 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
32 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
33 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
34 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
35 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
36 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
37 portable_socketpair.
38 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
39 YMMV.

414.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
42 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
43 uppercase targets.
44 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
45 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
46 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
47 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
48 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
49 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
50 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
51 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
52 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
53 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
54 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
55 in the common case.
56 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
57 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
58 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
59 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
60 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
61 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
62 from the constructor.
63 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
64 then fall back to JSON.
65 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
66 and because it was documented that way.
67
684.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
69 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
70 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
71
724.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
73 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
74 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
75 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
76 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
77 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
78 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
79 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
80 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
81 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
82
834.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
84 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
85 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
86 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
87 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
88 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
89
904.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
91 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
92 and set it on the default resolver.
93 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
94 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
95 when running in tainted mode.
96 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
97
984.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
99 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
100
1014.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
102 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
103 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
104 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
105 destructors.
106 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
107 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
108 implementation.
109 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
110 for cosmetic reasons.
111
1124.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
113 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
114 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
115 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
116 - sped up Tk timer handling.
117 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
118 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
119 - fix Qt timers without interval.
120 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
121
1224.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
123 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
124 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
125 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
126
1274.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
128 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
129 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
130 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
131 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
132
1334.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
134 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
135 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
136 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
137 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
138 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
139 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
140 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
141 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
142 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
143 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
144 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
145
1464.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
147 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
148 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
149 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
150 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
151 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
152 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
153 backend.
154 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
155
1564.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
157 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
158 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
159 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
160 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
161 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
162 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
163
1644.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
165 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
166 illegal.
167 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
168 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
169 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
170 by Adam Rosenstein).
171 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
172 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
173 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
174
1754.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
176 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
177 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
178 the socket type.
179 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
180
1814.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
182 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
183 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
184 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
185 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
186 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
187 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
188
1894.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
190 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
191 unless one has been installed already.
192 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
193 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
194 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
195 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
196 client would first wait for some data by the server and
197 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
198 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
199 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
200 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
201 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
202 Rosenstein).
203 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
204 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
205 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
206 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
207 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
208 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
209 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
210 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
211 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
212 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
213 now, more to come, though.
214 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
215
2164.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
3 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported, 217 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
4 no trace events. 218 no trace events.
219 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
5 - perl backend will not use POSIX::times as monotonic clock 220 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
6 when available and the monotonic clock option is not. 221 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
7 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not 222 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
8 provide sub-second accuracy (all supported perl versions have 223 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
9 Time::HiRes). 224 Time::HiRes).

114.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008 2264.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
12 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang. 227 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
13 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments. 228 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
