2 2
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 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
12 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
13 by name (not name or number).
14 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
15 only compiling signal code when necessary.
16
174.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
18 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
19 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
20 (analyzed by elmex).
21
224.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
23 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
24 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
25 for errors after every push_write etc.
26 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
27 platforms.
28
294.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
30 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
31 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
32 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
33 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
34 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
35 tutorial accordingly.
36 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
37
384.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
39 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
40 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
41 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
42 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
43 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
44 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
45 in IO::Async.
46
474.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
48 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
49 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
50 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
51 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
52 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
53 documentation.
54 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
55 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
56 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
57 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
58 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
59 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
60
614.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
62 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
63 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
64 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
65 this trap.
66 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
67 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
68 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
69 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
70 on_read callbacks.
71 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
72
734.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
74 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
75 callbacks.
76 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
77 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
78 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
79 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
80 Event::Lib.
81 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
82 to rarely fail.
83
844.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
85 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
86 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
87 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
88 in AnyEvent->io.
89 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
90 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
91 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
92 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
93 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
94 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
95 portable_socketpair.
96 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
97 YMMV.
98
994.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
100 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
101 uppercase targets.
102 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
103 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
104 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
4 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context 105 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context

13 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method. 114 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
14 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's 115 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
15 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available). 116 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
117 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.

19 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first, 121 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
20 then fall back to JSON. 122 then fall back to JSON.
123 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
124 and because it was documented that way.
