3ZERO_RETURN - stoptls? 3TODO: release a:i 1.0
4 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
5 a negative value, so avoid that.
6 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
7 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
8 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
9 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
10 any issues).
11 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
12 by name (not name or number).
13 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
14 only compiling signal code when necessary.
15
164.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
17 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
18 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
19 (analyzed by elmex).
20
214.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
22 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
23 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
24 for errors after every push_write etc.
25 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
26 platforms.
27
284.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
29 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
30 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
31 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
32 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
33 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
34 tutorial accordingly.
35 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
36
374.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
38 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
39 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
40 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
41 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
42 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
43 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
44 in IO::Async.
45
464.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
47 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
48 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
49 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
50 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
51 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
52 documentation.
53 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
54 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
55 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
56 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
57 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
58 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
59
604.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
61 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
62 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
63 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
64 this trap.
65 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
66 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
67 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
68 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
69 on_read callbacks.
70 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
71
724.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
73 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
74 callbacks.
75 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
76 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
77 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
78 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
79 Event::Lib.
80 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
81 to rarely fail.
82
834.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
84 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
85 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
86 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
87 in AnyEvent->io.
88 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
89 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
90 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
91 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
92 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
93 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
94 portable_socketpair.
95 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
96 YMMV.
97
984.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
99 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
100 uppercase targets.
101 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
102 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
103 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
104 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
105 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
106 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
107 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
108 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
109 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
4 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS, 110 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
5 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint 111 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
6 in the common case. 112 in the common case.
7 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method. 113 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
8 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's 114 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
9 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available). 115 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
116 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
10 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction 117 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
11 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case 118 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
12 from the constructor. 119 from the constructor.
13 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first, 120 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
14 then fall back to JSON. 121 then fall back to JSON.
122 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
123 and because it was documented that way.

17 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle 126 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
18 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP. 127 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
