3TODO: inet_aton does not actually deliver ipv6 addresses
4 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
5 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
6 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
7 when passing scalar data to extensions).
8 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
9 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
10 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
11 (John Beppu).
12 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
13 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
14 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
15
165.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
17 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
18 (spotted by David Friedland).
19 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
20 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
21 unless you rip out everything but the core).
22 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
23 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
24
255.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
26 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
27 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
28 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
29 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
30 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
31
325.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
33 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
34 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
35 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
36 (analysed by elmex).
37
385.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
39 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
40 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
41 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
42 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
43 AnyEvent::Handle.
44 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
45 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
46 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
47 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
48
495.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
50 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
51 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
52 by Michael S. Fischer).
53 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
54 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
55 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
56 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
57 by default.
58 - fix some prototypes.
59 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
60 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
61
625.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
63 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
64 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
65 - port to broken win32 perls.
66
675.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
68 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
69 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
70 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
71 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
72 OSes as well).
73
745.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
75 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
76 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
77 to reduce dependency on JSON.
78
795.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
80 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
81 one (was broken since 4.91).
82 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
83 when retrying a tcp_connect.
84 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
85 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
86
875.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
88 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
89
905.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
91 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
92 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
93 in AnyEvent::Handle.
94 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
95 settings.
96 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
97 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
98 exporting the probe function).
99 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
100 code to work around it's watcher limits.
101 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
102 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
103 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
104 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
105 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
106
1074.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
108 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
109 already contains some TLS handshake.
110 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
111 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
112 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
113 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
114 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
115
1164.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
117 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
118 a negative value, so avoid that.
119 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
120 after the condition is already signalled.
121 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
122 data.
123 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
124 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
125 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
126 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
127 any issues).
128 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
129 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
130 by name (not name or number).
131 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
132 only compiling signal code when necessary.
133 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
134 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
135 said future/alternative API.
136 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
137
1384.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
139 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
140 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
141 (analysed by elmex).
142
1434.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
144 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
145 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
146 for errors after every push_write etc.
147 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
148 platforms.
149
1504.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
151 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
152 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
153 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
154 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
155 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
156 tutorial accordingly.
157 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
158
1594.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
160 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
161 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
162 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
163 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
164 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
165 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
166 in IO::Async.

207 (patch by Adam Rosenstein). 372 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
208 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle: 373 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
209 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the 374 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
210 client would first wait for some data by the server and 375 client would first wait for some data by the server and
211 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely 376 otherwise hang. (reported and analysed in an absolutely
212 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein). 377 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
213 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated 378 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
214 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state. 379 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
215 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam 380 (reported and analysed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
216 Rosenstein). 381 Rosenstein).

218 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) - 383 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
219 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever. 384 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
