9 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
10 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
11 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
12 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
13 documentation for caveats.
14 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set.
15
165.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
17 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
18 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
19 the availabilty of a default loop!
20 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
21 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
22 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
23 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
24 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
25 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
26 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
27 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
28
295.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
30 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
31 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
32 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
33 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
34 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
35 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
36 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
37 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
38 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
39 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
40 as part of the perl core.
41 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
42 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
43 minimal perl...).
44
455.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
46 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
47 actually used in tcp_server.
48 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
49 missing.
50 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
51 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
52 resulting in more informative error messages.
53 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
54 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
55 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
56 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
57 of AnyEvent::TLS.
58 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
59 requested by Ron Isaacson.
60 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
61 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
62 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
63 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
64 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
65
665.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
67 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
68
695.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
70 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
71 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
72 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
73 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
74 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
75 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
76 - better/more condvar examples.
77
785.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
79 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
80 time (found by Andy Grundman).
81
825.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
83 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
84 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
85 by Bas Denissen).
86 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
87 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
88 EV and Perl backends.
89 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
90 backends.
91 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
92 never documented nor universally supported).
93 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
94 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
95
965.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
97 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
98 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
99 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
100
1015.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
102 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
103 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
104 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
105 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
106 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
107 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
108 by lucky accident on win32.
109 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
110 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
111 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
112 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
113 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
114 detection and eval.
115 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
116 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
117 (same algorithm as EV).
118 - update unicode idna mapping table.
119
1205.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
121 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
122 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
123 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
124 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
125
1265.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
127 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
128 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
129 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
130 - provide $AE::VERSION.
131 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
132
1335.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
134 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
135 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
136 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
137 when passing scalar data to extensions).
138 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
139 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
140 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
141 (John Beppu).
142 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
143 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
144 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
145 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
146
1475.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
148 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
149 (spotted by David Friedland).
150 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
151 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
152 unless you rip out everything but the core).
153 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
154 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
155
1565.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
157 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
158 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
159 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
160 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
161 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
162
1635.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
164 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
165 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
166 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
167 (analysed by elmex).
168
1695.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
170 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
171 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
172 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
173 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
174 AnyEvent::Handle.
175 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
176 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
177 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
178 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
179
1805.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
181 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
182 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
183 by Michael S. Fischer).
184 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
185 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
186 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
187 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
188 by default.
189 - fix some prototypes.
190 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
191 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
192
1935.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
194 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
195 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
196 - port to broken win32 perls.
197
1985.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
199 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
200 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
201 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
202 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
203 OSes as well).
204
2055.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
206 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
207 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
208 to reduce dependency on JSON.
209
2105.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
211 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
212 one (was broken since 4.91).
213 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
214 when retrying a tcp_connect.
215 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
216 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
217
2185.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
219 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
220
2215.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
222 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
223 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
224 in AnyEvent::Handle.
225 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
226 settings.
227 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
228 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
229 exporting the probe function).
230 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
231 code to work around it's watcher limits.
232 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
233 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
234 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
235 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
236 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
237
2384.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
239 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
240 already contains some TLS handshake.
241 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
242 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
243 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
244 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
245 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
246
