56.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
6 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
7 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
8 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
9 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
10 to work around.
11 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
12
136.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011
14 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
15 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
16 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
17 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
18 AnyEvent::Socket.
19 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
20 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
21 methods.
22 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
23 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
24 - DEPRECIATION: please change
25 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
26 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
27 in your programs, for future compatibility.
28 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
29 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
30 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
31 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
32 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
33 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
34 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
35 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
36 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
37 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
38 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
39 a debug shell.
40 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
41 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
42 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
43 F</etc/hosts> can be found.
44 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
45 configuration.
46 - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
47 PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
48 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
49 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications $_ by the callback
50 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
51 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
52 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
53 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
54 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
55 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
56 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
57 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
58 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
59 supports /etc/hosts overrides.
60 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
61 and (newly introduced) in POE.
62 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
63 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
64 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
65 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
66 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
67 (reported by Gerald Galster).
68 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
69 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
70 do not support blocking waits.
71 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
72 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
73 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
74 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
75 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
76 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
77 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
78 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
79 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
80 - suppress the idiotic warning inside POE by patching the POE::Kernel
81 run flags instead of asking the user to jump through contortions.
82 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
83 - replace PF_UNSPEC by 0, for good old minix.
84
856.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)
86
875.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
88 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
89 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
90 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
91
925.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
93 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
94 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
95 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
96 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
97 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
98 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
99 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
100 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
101 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
102 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
103 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
104 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
105 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
106
1075.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
108 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
109 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
110 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
111 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
112 documentation for caveats.
113 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
114 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
115 AnyEvent::Handle).
116 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
117 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
118
1195.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
120 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
121 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
122 the availabilty of a default loop!
123 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
124 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
125 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
126 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
127 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
128 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
129 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
130 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
131
1325.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
133 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
134 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
135 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
136 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
137 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
138 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
139 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
140 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
141 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
142 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
143 as part of the perl core.
144 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
145 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
146 minimal perl...).
147
1485.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
149 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
150 actually used in tcp_server.
151 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
152 missing.
153 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
154 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
155 resulting in more informative error messages.
156 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
157 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
158 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
159 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
160 of AnyEvent::TLS.
161 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
162 requested by Ron Isaacson.
163 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
164 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
165 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
166 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
167 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
168
1695.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
170 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
171
1725.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
173 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
174 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
175 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
176 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
177 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
178 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
179 - better/more condvar examples.
180
1815.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
182 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
183 time (found by Andy Grundman).
184
1855.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
186 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
187 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
188 by Bas Denissen).
189 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
190 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
191 EV and Perl backends.
192 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
193 backends.
194 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
195 never documented nor universally supported).
196 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
197 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
198
1995.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
200 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
201 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
202 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
203
2045.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
205 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
206 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
207 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
208 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
209 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
210 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
211 by lucky accident on win32.
212 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
213 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
214 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
215 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
216 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
217 detection and eval.
218 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
219 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
220 (same algorithm as EV).
221 - update unicode idna mapping table.
222
2235.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
224 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
225 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
226 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
227 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
228
2295.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
230 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
231 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
232 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
233 - provide $AE::VERSION.
234 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
235
2365.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
237 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
238 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
239 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
240 when passing scalar data to extensions).
241 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
242 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
243 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
244 (John Beppu).
245 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
246 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
247 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
248 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
249
2505.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
251 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
252 (spotted by David Friedland).
253 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
254 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
255 unless you rip out everything but the core).
256 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
257 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
258
2595.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
260 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
261 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
262 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
263 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
264 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
265
2665.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
267 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
268 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
269 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
270 (analysed by elmex).
271
2725.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
273 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
274 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
275 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
276 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
277 AnyEvent::Handle.
278 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
279 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
280 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
281 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
282
2835.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
284 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
285 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
286 by Michael S. Fischer).
287 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
288 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
289 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
290 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
291 by default.
292 - fix some prototypes.
293 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
294 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
295
2965.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
297 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
298 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
299 - port to broken win32 perls.
300
3015.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
302 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
303 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
304 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
305 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
306 OSes as well).
307
3085.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
309 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
310 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
311 to reduce dependency on JSON.
312
3135.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
314 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
315 one (was broken since 4.91).
316 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
317 when retrying a tcp_connect.
318 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
319 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
320
3215.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
322 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
323
3245.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
325 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
326 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
327 in AnyEvent::Handle.
328 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
329 settings.
330 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
331 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
332 exporting the probe function).
333 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
334 code to work around it's watcher limits.
335 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
336 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
337 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
338 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
339 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
340
3414.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
342 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
343 already contains some TLS handshake.
344 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
345 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
346 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
347 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
348 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
349
3504.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
351 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
352 a negative value, so avoid that.
353 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
354 after the condition is already signalled.
355 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
356 data.
357 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
358 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
359 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
360 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
361 any issues).
362 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
363 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
364 by name (not name or number).
365 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
366 only compiling signal code when necessary.
367 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
368 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
369 said future/alternative API.
370 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
371
3724.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
373 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
374 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
375 (analysed by elmex).
376
3774.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
378 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
379 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
380 for errors after every push_write etc.
381 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
382 platforms.
383
3844.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
6 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh. 385 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
7 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply 386 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
8 segfault in Net::SSLeay. 387 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
388 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
389 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
390 tutorial accordingly.
391 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
9 392
104.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009 3934.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
11 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document 394 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
12 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure. 395 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
13 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib. 396 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
14 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries. 397 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
15 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts. 398 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
16 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness 399 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
17 in IO::ASync. 400 in IO::Async.

194.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009 4024.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
20 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all 403 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
21 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY). 404 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
22 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available. 405 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
2194.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008 6024.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
