136.0 (not officially released)
14 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
15 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve directly,
16 and ->request and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions
17 such as AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither
18 is AnyEvent::Socket.
19 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
20 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
21 methods.
22 - DEPRECIATION: please change
23 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
24 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
25 in your programs, for future compatibility.
26 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
27 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
28 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
29 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
30 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
31 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
32 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
33 - new function: AnyEvent::postpone.
34 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
35 a debug shell.
36 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
37 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
38 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
39 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications $_ by the callback.
40 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
41 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
42 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
43 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
44 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
45 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
46 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
47 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
48 and (newly introduced) in POE.
49 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
50 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
51 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
52 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
53 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
54 (reported by Gerald Galster).
55 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
56 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
57 do not support blocking waits.
58 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
59 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
60 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
61 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
62 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
63 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
64 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
65 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
66 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
67
685.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
69 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
70 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
71 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
72
735.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
74 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
75 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
76 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
77 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
78 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
79 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
80 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
81 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
82 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
83 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
84 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
85 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
86 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
87
885.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
89 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
90 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
91 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
92 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
93 documentation for caveats.
94 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
95 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
96 AnyEvent::Handle).
97 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
98 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
99
1005.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
101 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
102 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
103 the availabilty of a default loop!
104 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
105 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
106 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
107 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
108 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
109 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
110 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
111 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
112
1135.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
114 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
115 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
116 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
117 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
118 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
119 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
120 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
121 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
122 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
123 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
124 as part of the perl core.
125 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
126 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
127 minimal perl...).
128
1295.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
130 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
131 actually used in tcp_server.
132 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
133 missing.
134 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
135 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
136 resulting in more informative error messages.
137 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
138 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
139 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
140 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
141 of AnyEvent::TLS.
142 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
143 requested by Ron Isaacson.
144 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
145 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
146 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
147 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
148 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
149
1505.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
151 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
152
1535.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
154 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
155 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
156 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
157 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
158 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
159 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
160 - better/more condvar examples.
161
1625.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
163 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
164 time (found by Andy Grundman).
165
1665.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
167 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
168 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
169 by Bas Denissen).
170 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
171 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
172 EV and Perl backends.
173 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
174 backends.
175 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
176 never documented nor universally supported).
177 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
178 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
179
1805.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
181 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
182 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
183 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
184
1855.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
186 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
187 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
188 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
189 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
190 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
191 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
192 by lucky accident on win32.
193 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
194 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
195 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
196 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
197 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
198 detection and eval.
199 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
200 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
201 (same algorithm as EV).
202 - update unicode idna mapping table.
203
2045.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
205 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
206 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
207 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
208 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
209
2105.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
211 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
212 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
213 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
214 - provide $AE::VERSION.
215 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
216
2175.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
218 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
219 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
220 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
221 when passing scalar data to extensions).
222 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
223 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
224 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
225 (John Beppu).
226 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
227 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
228 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
229 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
230
2315.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
232 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
233 (spotted by David Friedland).
234 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
235 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
236 unless you rip out everything but the core).
237 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
238 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
239
2405.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
241 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
242 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
243 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
244 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
245 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
246
2475.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
248 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
249 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
250 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
251 (analysed by elmex).
252
2535.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
254 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
255 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
256 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
257 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
258 AnyEvent::Handle.
259 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
260 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
261 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
262 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
263
2645.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
265 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
266 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
267 by Michael S. Fischer).
268 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
269 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
270 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
271 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
272 by default.
273 - fix some prototypes.
274 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
275 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
276
2775.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
278 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
279 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
280 - port to broken win32 perls.
281
2825.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
283 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
284 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
285 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
286 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
287 OSes as well).
288
2895.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
290 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
291 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
292 to reduce dependency on JSON.
293
2945.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
295 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
296 one (was broken since 4.91).
297 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
298 when retrying a tcp_connect.
299 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
300 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
301
3025.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
303 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
304
3055.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
306 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
307 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
308 in AnyEvent::Handle.
309 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
310 settings.
311 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
312 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
313 exporting the probe function).
314 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
315 code to work around it's watcher limits.
316 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
317 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
318 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
319 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
320 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
