12
135.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
14 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
15 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
16 the availabilty of a default loop!
17 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
18 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
19 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
20 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
21 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
22 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
23 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
24 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
25
265.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
27 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
28 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
29 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
30 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
31 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
32 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
33 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
34 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
35 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
36 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
37 as part of the perl core.
38 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
39 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
40 minimal perl...).
41
425.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
43 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
44 actually used in tcp_server.
45 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
46 missing.
47 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
48 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
49 resulting in more informative error messages.
50 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
51 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
52 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
53 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
54 of AnyEvent::TLS.
55 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
56 requested by Ron Isaacson.
57 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
58 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
59 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
60 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
61 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
62
635.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
64 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
65
665.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
67 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
68 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
69 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
70 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
71 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
72 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
73 - better/more condvar examples.
74
755.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
76 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
77 time (found by Andy Grundman).
78
795.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
80 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
81 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
82 by Bas Denissen).
83 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
84 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
85 EV and Perl backends.
86 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
87 backends.
88 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
89 never documented nor universally supported).
90 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
91 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
92
935.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
94 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
95 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
96 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
97
985.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
99 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
100 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
101 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
102 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
103 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
104 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
105 by lucky accident on win32.
106 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
107 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
108 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
109 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
110 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
111 detection and eval.
112 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
113 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
114 (same algorithm as EV).
115 - update unicode idna mapping table.
116
1175.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
118 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
119 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
120 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
121 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
122
1235.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
124 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
125 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
126 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
127 - provide $AE::VERSION.
128 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
129
1305.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
131 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
132 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
133 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
134 when passing scalar data to extensions).
135 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
136 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
137 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
138 (John Beppu).
139 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
140 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
141 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
142 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
143
1445.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
145 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
146 (spotted by David Friedland).
147 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
148 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
149 unless you rip out everything but the core).
150 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
151 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
152
1535.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
154 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
155 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
156 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
157 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
158 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
159
1605.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
161 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
162 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
163 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
164 (analysed by elmex).
165
1665.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
167 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
168 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
169 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
170 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
171 AnyEvent::Handle.
172 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
173 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
174 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
175 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
176
1775.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
178 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
179 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
180 by Michael S. Fischer).
181 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
182 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
183 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
184 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
185 by default.
186 - fix some prototypes.
187 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
188 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
189
1905.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
191 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
192 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
193 - port to broken win32 perls.
194
1955.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
196 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
197 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
198 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
199 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
200 OSes as well).
201
2025.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
203 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
204 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
205 to reduce dependency on JSON.
206
2075.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
208 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
209 one (was broken since 4.91).
210 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
211 when retrying a tcp_connect.
212 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
213 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
214
2155.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
216 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
217
2185.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
219 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
220 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
221 in AnyEvent::Handle.
222 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
223 settings.
224 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
225 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
226 exporting the probe function).
227 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
228 code to work around it's watcher limits.
229 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
230 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
231 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
232 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
233 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
234
2354.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
236 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
237 already contains some TLS handshake.
238 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
239 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
240 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
241 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
242 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
243
2444.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
245 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
246 a negative value, so avoid that.
247 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
248 after the condition is already signalled.
249 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
250 data.
251 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
252 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
253 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
254 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
255 any issues).
256 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
257 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
258 by name (not name or number).
259 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
260 only compiling signal code when necessary.
261 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
262 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
263 said future/alternative API.
264 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
265
2664.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
267 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
268 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
269 (analysed by elmex).
270
2714.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
272 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
273 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
274 for errors after every push_write etc.
275 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
276 platforms.
277
2784.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
279 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
280 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
281 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
282 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
283 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
284 tutorial accordingly.
285 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
286
2874.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
288 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
289 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
290 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
291 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
292 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
293 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
294 in IO::Async.
295
2964.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
4 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all 297 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
5 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY). 298 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
6 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available. 299 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
7 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only. 300 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
8 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent 301 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
9 documentation. 302 documentation.
303 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
304 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
305 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
306 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
307 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
308 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
