76.01
8 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
9 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
10 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
11 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
12 AnyEvent::Socket.
13 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
14 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
15 methods.
16 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
17 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
18 - DEPRECIATION: please change
19 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
20 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
21 in your programs, for future compatibility.
22 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
23 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
24 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
25 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
26 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
27 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
28 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
29 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
30 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
31 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
32 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
33 a debug shell.
34 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
35 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
36 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
37 F</etc/hosts> can be found.
38 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
39 configuration.
40 - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
41 PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
42 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
43 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications $_ by the callback
44 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
45 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
46 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
47 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
48 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
49 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
50 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
51 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
52 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
53 supports /etc/hosts overrides.
54 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
55 and (newly introduced) in POE.
56 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
57 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
58 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
59 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
60 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
61 (reported by Gerald Galster).
62 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
63 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
64 do not support blocking waits.
65 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
66 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
67 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
68 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
69 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
70 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
71 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
72 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
73 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
74 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
75
766.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)
77
785.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
79 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
80 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
81 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
82
835.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
84 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
85 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
86 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
87 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
88 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
89 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
90 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
91 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
92 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
93 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
94 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
95 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
96 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
97
985.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
99 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
100 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
101 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
102 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
103 documentation for caveats.
104 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
105 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
106 AnyEvent::Handle).
107 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
108 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
109
1105.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
111 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
112 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
113 the availabilty of a default loop!
114 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
115 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
116 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
117 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
118 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
119 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
120 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
121 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
122
1235.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
124 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
125 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
126 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
127 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
128 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
129 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
130 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
131 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
132 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
133 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
134 as part of the perl core.
135 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
136 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
137 minimal perl...).
138
1395.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
140 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
141 actually used in tcp_server.
142 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
143 missing.
144 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
145 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
146 resulting in more informative error messages.
147 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
148 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
149 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
150 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
151 of AnyEvent::TLS.
152 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
153 requested by Ron Isaacson.
154 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
155 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
156 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
157 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
158 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
159
1605.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
161 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
162
1635.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
164 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
165 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
166 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
167 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
168 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
169 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
170 - better/more condvar examples.
171
1725.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
173 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
174 time (found by Andy Grundman).
175
1765.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
177 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
178 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
179 by Bas Denissen).
180 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
181 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
182 EV and Perl backends.
183 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
184 backends.
185 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
186 never documented nor universally supported).
187 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
188 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
189
1905.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
191 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
192 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
193 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
194
1955.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
196 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
197 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
198 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
199 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
200 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
201 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
202 by lucky accident on win32.
203 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
204 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
205 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
206 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
207 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
208 detection and eval.
209 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
210 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
211 (same algorithm as EV).
212 - update unicode idna mapping table.
213
2145.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
215 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
216 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
217 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
218 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
219
2205.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
221 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
222 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
223 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
224 - provide $AE::VERSION.
225 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
226
2275.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
228 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
229 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
230 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
231 when passing scalar data to extensions).
232 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
233 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
234 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
235 (John Beppu).
236 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
237 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
238 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
239 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
240
2415.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
242 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
243 (spotted by David Friedland).
244 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
245 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
246 unless you rip out everything but the core).
247 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
248 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
249
2505.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
251 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
252 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
253 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
254 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
255 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
256
2575.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
258 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
259 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
260 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
261 (analysed by elmex).
262
2635.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
264 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
265 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
266 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
267 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
268 AnyEvent::Handle.
269 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
270 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
271 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
272 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
273
2745.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
275 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
276 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
277 by Michael S. Fischer).
278 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
279 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
280 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
281 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
282 by default.
283 - fix some prototypes.
284 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
285 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
286
2875.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
288 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
289 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
290 - port to broken win32 perls.
291
2925.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
293 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
294 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
295 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
296 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
297 OSes as well).
298
2995.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
300 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
301 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
302 to reduce dependency on JSON.
303
3045.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
305 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
306 one (was broken since 4.91).
307 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
308 when retrying a tcp_connect.
309 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
310 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
311
3125.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
313 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
314
3155.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
316 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
317 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
318 in AnyEvent::Handle.
319 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
320 settings.
321 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
322 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
323 exporting the probe function).
324 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
325 code to work around it's watcher limits.
326 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
327 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
328 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
329 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
330 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
331
3324.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
333 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
334 already contains some TLS handshake.
335 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
336 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
337 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
338 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
339 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
340
