1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2 2
3 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
4 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
5 for errors after every push_write etc.
6
74.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
8 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
9 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
10 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
11 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
12 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
13 tutorial accordingly.
14 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
15
164.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
17 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
18 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
19 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
20 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
21 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
22 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
23 in IO::ASync.
24
254.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
26 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
27 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
28 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
29 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
30 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
31 documentation.
32 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
33 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
34 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
35 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
36 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
37 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
38
394.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
40 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
41 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
42 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
43 this trap.
44 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
45 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
46 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
47 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
48 on_read callbacks.
49 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
50
514.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
52 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
53 callbacks.
54 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
55 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
56 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
57 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
58 Event::Lib.
59 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
60 to rarely fail.
61
624.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
63 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
64 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
65 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
66 in AnyEvent->io.
67 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
68 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
69 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
70 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
71 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
72 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
73 portable_socketpair.
74 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
75 YMMV.
76
774.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
78 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
79 uppercase targets.
80 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
81 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
82 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
83 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
84 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
85 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
86 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
87 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
88 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
89 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
90 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
91 in the common case.
92 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
93 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
94 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
95 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
96 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
97 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
98 from the constructor.
99 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
100 then fall back to JSON.
101 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
102 and because it was documented that way.
103
1044.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
105 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
106 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
107
1084.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
109 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
110 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
111 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
112 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
113 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
114 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
115 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
116 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
117 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
118
1194.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
120 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
121 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
122 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
123 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
124 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
125
1264.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
127 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
128 and set it on the default resolver.
129 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
130 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
131 when running in tainted mode.
132 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
133
1344.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
135 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
136
1374.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
138 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
139 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
140 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
141 destructors.
142 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
143 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
144 implementation.
145 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
146 for cosmetic reasons.
147
1484.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
149 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
150 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
151 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
152 - sped up Tk timer handling.
153 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
154 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
155 - fix Qt timers without interval.
156 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
157
1584.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
159 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
160 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
161 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
162
1634.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
164 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
165 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
166 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
167 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
168
1694.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
170 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
171 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
172 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
173 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
174 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
175 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
176 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
177 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
178 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
179 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
180 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
181
1824.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
183 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
184 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
185 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
186 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
187 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
188 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
189 backend.
190 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
191
1924.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
193 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
194 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
195 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
196 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
197 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
198 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
199
2004.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
201 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
202 illegal.
3 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend 203 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
4 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle. 204 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
5 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported 205 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
6 by Adam Rosenstein). 206 by Adam Rosenstein).
207 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
208 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
209 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
7 210
84.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008 2114.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
9 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support 212 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
10 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for 213 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
11 the socket type. 214 the socket type.
