3TODO: Danga::Socket backend.
4TODO: delay tcp_connect

6 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
7 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).

10 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
11 a negative value, so avoid that.
12 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
13 after the condition is already signalled.
14 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
15 data.
16 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
17 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
18 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
19 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
20 any issues).
21 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
22 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
23 by name (not name or number).
24 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
25 only compiling signal code when necessary.
26 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
27 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
28 said future/alternative API.
29 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
30
314.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
32 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
33 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
34 (analyzed by elmex).
35
364.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
37 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
38 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
39 for errors after every push_write etc.
40 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
41 platforms.
42
434.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
44 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
45 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
46 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
47 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
48 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
49 tutorial accordingly.
50 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
51
524.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
53 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
54 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
55 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
56 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
57 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
58 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
59 in IO::Async.
60
614.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
62 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
63 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
64 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
65 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
66 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
67 documentation.
68 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
69 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
70 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
71 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
72 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
73 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
74
754.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
76 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
77 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
78 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
79 this trap.
80 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
81 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
82 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
83 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
84 on_read callbacks.
85 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
86
874.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
88 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
89 callbacks.
90 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
91 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
92 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
93 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
94 Event::Lib.
95 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
96 to rarely fail.
97
984.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
99 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
100 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
101 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
102 in AnyEvent->io.
103 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
104 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
105 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
106 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
107 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
108 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
109 portable_socketpair.
110 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
111 YMMV.
112
1134.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
114 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
115 uppercase targets.
116 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
117 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
118 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
119 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
120 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
121 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
122 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
123 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
124 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
125 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
126 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
127 in the common case.
128 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
129 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
130 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
131 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
132 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
133 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
134 from the constructor.
135 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
136 then fall back to JSON.
137 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
138 and because it was documented that way.
139
1404.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
141 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
142 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
143
1444.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
145 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
146 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
147 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
148 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
149 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
150 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
151 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
152 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
153 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.

4 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async. 156 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
5 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in 157 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
6 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses 158 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
