2 2
3TODO: document ->loop, and maybe one_event. 34.9
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 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
17 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
18 said future/alternative API.

204.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
21 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
22 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
23 (analyzed by elmex).
24
254.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
26 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
27 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
28 for errors after every push_write etc.
29 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
30 platforms.
31
324.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
33 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
34 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
35 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
36 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
37 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
38 tutorial accordingly.
39 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
40
414.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
42 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
43 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
44 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
45 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
46 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
47 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
48 in IO::Async.
49
504.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
51 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
52 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
53 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
54 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
55 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
56 documentation.
57 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
58 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
59 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
60 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
61 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
62 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
63
644.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
65 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
66 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
67 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
68 this trap.
69 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
70 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
71 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
72 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
73 on_read callbacks.
74 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
75
764.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
77 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
78 callbacks.
79 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
80 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
81 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
82 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
83 Event::Lib.
84 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
85 to rarely fail.
86
874.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
88 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
89 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
90 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
91 in AnyEvent->io.
92 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
93 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
94 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
95 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
96 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
97 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
98 portable_socketpair.
99 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
100 YMMV.
101
1024.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
103 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
104 uppercase targets.
105 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
106 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
107 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
108 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
109 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
110 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
111 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
112 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
113 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
114 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
115 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
116 in the common case.
117 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
118 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
119 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
120 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
121 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
122 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
123 from the constructor.
124 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
125 then fall back to JSON.
126 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
127 and because it was documented that way.
128
1294.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
130 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
131 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
132
1334.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
134 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
135 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
136 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
137 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
138 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
139 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
140 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
141 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
142 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
143
1444.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
145 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
146 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
147 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
148 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
149 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
150
1514.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
4 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS 152 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
5 and set it on the default resolver. 153 and set it on the default resolver.
6 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop. 154 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
7 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV 155 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
