1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2 2
3TODO: destroy is a must when called inside read or write callbacks. 3 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
4TODO: delet {_rw} on tls eof solves https issues? 4 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
5 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
6 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
7 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
8 documentation.
9 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
10 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
11 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
12 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
13 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
14 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
15
164.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
17 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
18 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
19 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
20 this trap.
21 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
22 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
23 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
24 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
25 on_read callbacks.
26 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
27
284.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
29 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
30 callbacks.
31 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
32 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
33 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
34 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
35 Event::Lib.
36 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
37 to rarely fail.
38
394.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
40 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
41 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
42 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
43 in AnyEvent->io.
44 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
45 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
46 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
47 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
48 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
49 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
50 portable_socketpair.
51 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
52 YMMV.
53
544.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
55 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
56 uppercase targets.
57 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
58 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
59 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
60 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
61 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
62 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
63 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
64 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
65 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
66 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
67 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
68 in the common case.
69 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
70 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
71 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
72 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
73 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
74 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
75 from the constructor.
76 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
77 then fall back to JSON.
78 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
79 and because it was documented that way.
80
814.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
82 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
83 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
84
854.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
86 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
87 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
88 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
89 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
90 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
91 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
92 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
93 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
94 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
95
964.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
97 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
98 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
99 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
100 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
101 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
102
1034.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
104 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
105 and set it on the default resolver.
106 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
107 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
108 when running in tainted mode.
109 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
110
1114.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
112 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
113
1144.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
115 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
116 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
117 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
118 destructors.
119 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
120 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
121 implementation.
122 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
123 for cosmetic reasons.
124
1254.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
126 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
127 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
128 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
129 - sped up Tk timer handling.
130 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
131 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
132 - fix Qt timers without interval.
133 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
134
1354.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
136 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
137 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
138 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
139
1404.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
141 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
142 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
143 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
144 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
145
1464.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
147 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
148 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
149 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
150 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
151 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
152 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
153 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
154 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
155 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
156 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
157 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
158
1594.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
160 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
161 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
162 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
163 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
164 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
165 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
166 backend.
167 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
168
1694.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
170 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
171 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
172 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
173 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
174 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
175 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
176
1774.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
178 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
179 illegal.
180 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
181 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
182 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
183 by Adam Rosenstein).
184 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
185 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
186 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
187
1884.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
189 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
190 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
191 the socket type.
192 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
193
1944.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
5 - implement AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method. 195 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
6 - hint about unexpected effects in tls mode. 196 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
197 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
198 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
199 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
200 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
7 201
84.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008 2024.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
9 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE, 203 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
10 unless one has been installed already. 204 unless one has been installed already.
11 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough 205 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
