1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2 2
3TODO: Danga::Socket backend. 3 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
4 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
5 by lucky accident on win32.
6 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
7 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
8 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
9 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
10 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
11 detection and eval.
12 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.

5TODO: delay tcp_connect 145.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
64.901 15 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
16 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
17 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
18 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
19
205.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
21 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
22 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
23 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
24 - provide $AE::VERSION.
25 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
26
275.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
28 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
29 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
30 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
31 when passing scalar data to extensions).
32 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
33 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
34 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
35 (John Beppu).
36 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
37 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
38 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
39 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
40
415.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
42 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
43 (spotted by David Friedland).
44 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
45 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
46 unless you rip out everything but the core).
47 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
48 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
49
505.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
51 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
52 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
53 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
54 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
55 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
56
575.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
58 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
59 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
60 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
61 (analysed by elmex).
62
635.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
64 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
65 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
66 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
67 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
68 AnyEvent::Handle.
69 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
70 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
71 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
72 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
73
745.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
75 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
76 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
77 by Michael S. Fischer).
78 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
79 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
80 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
81 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
82 by default.
83 - fix some prototypes.
84 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
85 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
86
875.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
88 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
89 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
90 - port to broken win32 perls.
91
925.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
93 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
94 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
95 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
96 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
97 OSes as well).
98
995.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
100 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
101 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
102 to reduce dependency on JSON.
103
1045.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
105 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
106 one (was broken since 4.91).
107 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
108 when retrying a tcp_connect.
109 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
110 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
111
1125.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
113 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
114
1155.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
116 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
117 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
118 in AnyEvent::Handle.
119 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
120 settings.
121 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
122 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
123 exporting the probe function).
124 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
125 code to work around it's watcher limits.
126 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
127 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
128 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
129 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
130 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
131

10 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster). 136 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
137 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
138 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
139 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
