3TODO: release a:i 1.0
4 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
5 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
6
74.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
8 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
9 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
10 (analyzed by elmex).
11
124.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
13 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
14 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
15 for errors after every push_write etc.
16 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
17 platforms.
18
194.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
20 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
21 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
22 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
23 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
24 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
25 tutorial accordingly.
26 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
27
284.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
29 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
30 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
31 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
32 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
33 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
34 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
35 in IO::Async.
36
374.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
38 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
39 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
40 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
41 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
42 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
43 documentation.
44 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
45 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
46 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
47 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
48 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
49 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
50
514.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
52 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
53 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
54 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
55 this trap.
56 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
57 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
58 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
59 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
60 on_read callbacks.
61 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
62
634.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
64 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
65 callbacks.
66 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
67 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
68 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
69 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
70 Event::Lib.
71 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
72 to rarely fail.
73
744.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
75 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
76 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
77 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
78 in AnyEvent->io.
79 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
80 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
81 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
82 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
83 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
84 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
85 portable_socketpair.
86 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
87 YMMV.
88
894.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
90 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
91 uppercase targets.
92 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
93 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
94 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
95 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
96 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
97 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
98 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
99 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
100 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
101 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
102 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
103 in the common case.
104 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
105 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
106 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
107 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
108 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
109 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
110 from the constructor.
111 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
112 then fall back to JSON.
113 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
114 and because it was documented that way.
115
1164.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
117 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
118 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.

4 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create 121 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
5 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh. 122 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
6 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both 123 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
