105.29
11 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API.
12 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
13 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
14 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
15 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
16 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
17 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
18 as part of the perl core.
19
205.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
21 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
22 actually used in tcp_server.
23 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
24 missing.
25 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
26 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
27 resulting in more informative error messages.
28 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
29 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
30 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
31 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
32 of AnyEvent::TLS.
33 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
34 requested by Ron Isaacson.
35 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
36 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
37 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
38 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
39 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
40
415.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
42 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
43
445.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
45 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
46 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
47 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
48 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
49 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
50 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
51 - better/more condvar examples.
52
535.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
54 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
55 time (found by Andy Grundman).
56
575.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
58 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
59 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
60 by Bas Denissen).
61 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
62 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
63 EV and Perl backends.
64 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
65 backends.
66 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
67 never documented nor universally supported).
68 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
69 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
70
715.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
72 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
73 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
74 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
75
765.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
77 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
78 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
79 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
80 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
81 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
82 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
83 by lucky accident on win32.
84 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
85 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
86 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
87 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
88 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
89 detection and eval.
90 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
91 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
92 (same algorithm as EV).
93 - update unicode idna mapping table.
94
955.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
96 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
97 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
98 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
99 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
100
1015.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
102 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
103 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
104 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
105 - provide $AE::VERSION.
106 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
107
1085.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
109 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
110 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
111 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
112 when passing scalar data to extensions).
113 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
114 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
115 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
116 (John Beppu).
117 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
118 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
119 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
120 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
121
1225.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
123 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
124 (spotted by David Friedland).
125 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
126 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
127 unless you rip out everything but the core).
128 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
129 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
130
1315.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
132 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
133 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
134 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
135 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
136 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
137
1385.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
139 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
140 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
141 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
142 (analysed by elmex).
143
1445.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
145 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
146 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
147 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
148 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
149 AnyEvent::Handle.
150 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
151 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
152 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
153 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
154
1555.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
156 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
157 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
158 by Michael S. Fischer).
159 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
160 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
161 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
162 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
163 by default.
164 - fix some prototypes.
165 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
166 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
167
1685.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
169 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
170 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
171 - port to broken win32 perls.
172
1735.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
174 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
175 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
176 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
177 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
178 OSes as well).
179
1805.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
181 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
182 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
183 to reduce dependency on JSON.
184
1855.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
186 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
187 one (was broken since 4.91).
188 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
189 when retrying a tcp_connect.
190 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
191 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
192
1935.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
194 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
195
1965.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
197 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
198 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
199 in AnyEvent::Handle.
200 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
201 settings.
202 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
203 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
204 exporting the probe function).
205 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
206 code to work around it's watcher limits.
207 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
208 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
209 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
210 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
211 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
212
2134.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
214 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
215 already contains some TLS handshake.
216 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
217 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
218 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
219 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
220 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
221
2224.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
223 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
224 a negative value, so avoid that.
225 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
226 after the condition is already signalled.
227 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
228 data.
229 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
230 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
231 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
232 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
233 any issues).
234 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
235 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
236 by name (not name or number).
237 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
238 only compiling signal code when necessary.
239 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
240 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
241 said future/alternative API.
242 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
243
2444.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
245 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
246 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
247 (analysed by elmex).
248
2494.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
250 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
251 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
252 for errors after every push_write etc.
253 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
254 platforms.
255
2564.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
257 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
258 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
259 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
260 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
261 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
262 tutorial accordingly.
263 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
264
2654.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
266 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
267 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
268 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
269 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
270 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
271 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
272 in IO::Async.
273
