34.41 Wed May 13 14:41:29 CEST 2009 3TODO: Event seems to have some racy signal handling.
4
5 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
6 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
7 in IO::ASync.
8 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
9
104.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
11 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
12 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
13 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
14 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
15 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
16 documentation.
17 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
18 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
19 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
20 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
21 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
22 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
23
244.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
25 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
26 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
27 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
28 this trap.
29 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
30 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
31 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
32 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
33 on_read callbacks.
34 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
35
364.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
37 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
38 callbacks.
39 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
40 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
41 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
42 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
43 Event::Lib.
44 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
45 to rarely fail.
46
474.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
48 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
49 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
50 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
51 in AnyEvent->io.
52 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
53 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
54 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
55 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
56 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
57 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
58 portable_socketpair.
59 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
60 YMMV.
61
624.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
63 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
64 uppercase targets.
65 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
66 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
67 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
68 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
69 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
70 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
71 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
72 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
73 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
74 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
75 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
76 in the common case.
77 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
78 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
79 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
80 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
81 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
82 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
83 from the constructor.
84 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
85 then fall back to JSON.
86 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
87 and because it was documented that way.
88
894.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
90 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
91 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
92
934.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
94 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
95 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
96 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
97 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
98 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
99 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
100 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
101 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
102 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
103
1044.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
105 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
106 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
107 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
108 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
109 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
110
1114.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
112 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
113 and set it on the default resolver.
114 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
115 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
116 when running in tainted mode.
117 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
118
1194.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
120 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
121
1224.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
123 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
124 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
125 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
126 destructors.
127 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
128 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
129 implementation.
4 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name 130 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
5 for cosmetic reasons. 131 for cosmetic reasons.
6 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
7 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
