2 2
3ZERO_RETURN - stoptls? 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.

4 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with 103 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
5 uppercase targets. 104 uppercase targets.
6 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records 105 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records

18 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method. 117 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
19 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's 118 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
20 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available). 119 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
120 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
21 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction 121 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
22 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case 122 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case

24 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first, 124 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
25 then fall back to JSON. 125 then fall back to JSON.
