3MAYBE: http://svn.xantus.org/shortbus/trunk/cometd-perl/lab/aio.pl 34.3
4 (poe makes their own "anyevent", unfortunately). 4 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
5 unless one has been installed already.
6 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
7 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
8 client would first wait for some data by the server and
9 otherwise hang. (Reported and analyzed in an absolutely
10 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
11 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
12 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
13 (Reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
14 Rosenstein).
15 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
16 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
17 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
18 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
19 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
20 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
21 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
22 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
23 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
24 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
25 now, more to come, though.
26 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
27
284.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
29 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
30 no trace events.
31 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
32 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
33 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
34 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
35 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
36 Time::HiRes).
37
384.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
39 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
40 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
41
424.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
43 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
44 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
45 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
46 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
47
484.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
49 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
50 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
51 perls without resource leaks or worse).
52
534.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
54 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
55 the callback.
56 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
57 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
58 eol marker.
59 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
60 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
61 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
62
634.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
64 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
65 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
66 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
67 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
68 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
69
704.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
71 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
72 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
73 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
74 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
75 unusable way.
76 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
77 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
78 K. Sharifulin).
79
804.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
81 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
82 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
83 be delayed under some circumstances.
84 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
85 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
86 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
87 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
88 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
89 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
90
914.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
92 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
93 assumption that all data could be written before read
94 (reported by Jim Razmus).
95
964.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
97 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
98 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
99 implementation (also affected child watchers).
100 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
101
1024.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
103 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
104 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
105 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
106
1074.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
108 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
109 works.
110
1114.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
112 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
113 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
114 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
115 for AnyEvent::Handle.
116 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
117 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
118
1194.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
120 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
121 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
122 executing the guard block as warnings.
123 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
124
1254.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
126 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
127 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
128 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
129 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
130 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
131 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
132 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
133 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
134 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
135 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
136 enter an endless loop.
137 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
138 busy again after idling.
139 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
140 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
141 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
142 (hopefully).
143 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
144 away any time.
145
1464.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
147 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
148 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
149 - allow more options in on_error.
150
1514.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
152 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
153 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
154 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
155 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
156 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
157 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
158 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
159 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
160 rfc 2782.
161 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
162 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
163 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
164 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
165 could die. this has been fixed.
166 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
167 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
168 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
169 for resolver class.
170 - update version numbers in all modules.
171
1724.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
173 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
174 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
175 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
176 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
177 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
178 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
179 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
180 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
181 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
182 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
183 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
184 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
185 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
186 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
187 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
188 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
189 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
190 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
191 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
192 but EV also works around this).
193 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
194 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
195 vs. callback arguments.
196 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
197
1984.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
199 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
200 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
201 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
202 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
203
2044.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
205 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
206 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
207 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
208 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
209 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
210 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
211 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
212 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
213 sake of perl 5.8.
214 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
215 (still a hack...)
216 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
217 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
218 die handlers.
219
2204.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
221 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
222 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
223 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
224 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
225 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
226 - updated documentation.
227 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
228 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
229 in AnyEvent::Handle.
230 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
231 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
232 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
233 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
234
2354.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
236 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
237 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
238 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
239 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
240 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
241 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
242 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
243 verbatim ip addresses.
244 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
245 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
246 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
247 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
248 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
249 become writable until empty.
250 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
251 returns ENOTCONN.
252 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
253 override.
254 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
255
2563.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
257 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
258 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
259 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
260 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
261 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
262 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
263 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
264 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
265 first and second argument.
266 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
267 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
268 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
269 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
270 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
271
2723.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
273 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
274
2753.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
276 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
277 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
278 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
279 (still subject to change).
280 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
281 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
282 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
283 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
284 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
285 via Coro::AnyEvent.
286
2873.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
288 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
289 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
290 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
291 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
292 the different event loops with each other.
293 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
294 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
295 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
296 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
297 kept alive.
298 - document the race between loading of an event module and
299 child processes exiting.
300 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
301 enough, and darn slow).
302 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
303 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
304 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
305 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
306 faster than Event and Glib :).
307 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
308 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
309 to other event loops where possible.
310
3113.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
312 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
313 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
314 for the same fh/poll combo).
315 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
316 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
317 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
318 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
319 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
320
3213.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
322 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
323 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
324 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
325 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
326 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
327 - do not send the signal to the process group
328 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
329
3303.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
331 - major documentation rework.
332 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
333 - fix the child watcher example.
334
3353.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
336 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
337 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
338 don't get fixed anytime soon).
339 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
340 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
341 such strong limits).
342 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
343 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
344 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
345 any restrictions...).
346 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
347
3483.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
349 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
350 up the Coro implementation in general.
351 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
352 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
353 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
354
3552.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
356 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
357
3582.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
359 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
360 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
361
3622.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
363 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
364 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
365 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
366 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
367 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
368 (except when Event or EV are installed).
369
3702.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
371 - fix bug in testsuite.
372 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
373 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
5 374
62.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007 3752.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
7 - add EV to the list of supported event models. 376 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
8 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them. 377 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
9 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers. 378 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
75 - fixed documentation. 444 - fixed documentation.
76 - clarified some corner cases. 445 - clarified some corner cases.
77 - vastly improved documentation with a long example. 446 - vastly improved documentation with a long example.

790.2 Thu Dec 1 22:18:49 CET 2005 4480.2 Thu Dec 1 22:18:49 CET 2005
80 - check wether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops. 449 - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
81 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer). 450 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
82 - don't die when some modules are not available. 451 - don't die when some modules are not available.
83 - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works. 452 - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works.
