2 2
3TODO: release a:i 1.0
4TODO: ae::strict should chekc for signal names (enforced)
5 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
6 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
7
84.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
9 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
10 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
11 (analyzed by elmex).
12
134.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
14 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
15 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
16 for errors after every push_write etc.
17 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
18 platforms.
19
204.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
21 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
22 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
23 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
24 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
25 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
26 tutorial accordingly.
27 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
28
294.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
30 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
31 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
32 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
33 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
34 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
35 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
36 in IO::Async.
37
384.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
39 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
40 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
41 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
42 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
43 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
44 documentation.
45 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
46 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
47 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
48 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
49 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
50 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
51
524.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
53 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
54 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
55 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
56 this trap.
57 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
58 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
59 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
60 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
61 on_read callbacks.
62 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
63
644.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
65 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
66 callbacks.
67 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
68 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
69 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
70 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
71 Event::Lib.
72 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
73 to rarely fail.
74
754.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
76 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
77 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
78 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
79 in AnyEvent->io.
80 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
81 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
82 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
83 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
84 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
85 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
86 portable_socketpair.
87 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
88 YMMV.
89
904.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
91 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
92 uppercase targets.
93 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
94 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
95 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
96 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
97 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
98 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
99 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
100 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
101 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
102 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
103 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
104 in the common case.
105 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
106 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
107 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
108 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
109 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
110 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
111 from the constructor.
112 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
113 then fall back to JSON.
114 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
115 and because it was documented that way.
116
1174.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
118 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
119 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
120
1214.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
122 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
123 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
124 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
125 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
126 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
127 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
128 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
129 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
130 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
131
1324.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
133 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
134 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
135 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
136 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
137 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
138
1394.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
140 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
141 and set it on the default resolver.
142 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
143 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
144 when running in tainted mode.
145 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
146
1474.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
148 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
149
1504.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
151 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
152 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
153 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
154 destructors.
155 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
156 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
157 implementation.
158 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
159 for cosmetic reasons.
160
1614.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
162 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
163 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
164 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
165 - sped up Tk timer handling.
166 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
167 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
168 - fix Qt timers without interval.
169 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
170
1714.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
172 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
173 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
174 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
175
1764.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
3 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32. 177 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
178 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
179 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
4 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too). 180 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
