1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2 2
3TODO: document ->loop, and maybe one_event. 3TODO: release a:i 1.0
4TODO: iolae.pl 4TODO: ae::strict should chekc for signal names (enforced)
5 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
6 a negative value, so avoid that.
7 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
8 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
9 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
10 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
11 any issues).
12 - reduce memory footprint int ypical cases by ~50kb by
13 only compiling signal code when necessary.
14
154.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
16 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
17 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
18 (analyzed by elmex).
19
204.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
21 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
22 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
23 for errors after every push_write etc.
24 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
25 platforms.
26
274.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
28 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
29 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
30 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
31 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
32 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
33 tutorial accordingly.
34 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
35
364.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
37 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
38 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
39 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
40 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
41 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
42 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
43 in IO::Async.
44
454.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
46 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
47 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
48 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
49 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
50 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
51 documentation.
52 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
53 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
54 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
55 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
56 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
57 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
58
594.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
60 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
61 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
62 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
63 this trap.
64 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
65 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
66 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
67 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
68 on_read callbacks.
69 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
70
714.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
72 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
73 callbacks.
74 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
75 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
76 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
77 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
78 Event::Lib.
79 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
80 to rarely fail.
81
824.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
83 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
84 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
85 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
86 in AnyEvent->io.
87 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
88 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
89 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
90 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
91 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
92 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
93 portable_socketpair.
94 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
95 YMMV.
96
974.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
98 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
99 uppercase targets.
100 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
101 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
102 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
103 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
104 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
105 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
106 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
107 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
108 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
109 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
110 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
111 in the common case.
112 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
113 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
114 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
115 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
116 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
117 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
118 from the constructor.
119 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
120 then fall back to JSON.
121 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
122 and because it was documented that way.
123
1244.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
125 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
126 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
127
1284.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
129 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
130 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
131 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
132 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
133 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
134 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
135 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
136 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
137 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
138
1394.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
140 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
141 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
142 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
143 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
144 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
145
1464.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
5 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS 147 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
6 and set it on the default resolver. 148 and set it on the default resolver.
7 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop. 149 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
8 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV 150 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
9 when running in tainted mode. 151 when running in tainted mode.
152 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
