34.92
4 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
5 in AnyEvent::Handle.
6 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
7 settings.
8 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV is the backend.
9 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
10
114.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
12 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
13 already contains some TLS handshake.
14 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
15 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
16 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
17 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
18 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
19
204.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
21 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
22 a negative value, so avoid that.
23 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
24 after the condition is already signalled.
25 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
26 data.
27 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
28 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
29 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
30 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
31 any issues).
32 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
33 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
34 by name (not name or number).
35 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
36 only compiling signal code when necessary.
37 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
38 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
39 said future/alternative API.
40 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
41
424.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
43 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
44 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
45 (analyzed by elmex).
46
474.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
48 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
49 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
50 for errors after every push_write etc.
51 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
52 platforms.
53
544.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
55 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
56 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
57 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
58 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
59 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
60 tutorial accordingly.
61 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
62
634.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
64 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
65 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
66 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
67 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
68 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
69 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
70 in IO::Async.
71
724.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
73 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
74 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
75 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
76 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
77 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
78 documentation.
79 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
80 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
81 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
82 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
83 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
84 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
85
864.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
87 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
88 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
89 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
90 this trap.
91 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
92 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
93 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
94 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
95 on_read callbacks.
96 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
97
984.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
99 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
100 callbacks.
101 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
102 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
103 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
104 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
105 Event::Lib.
106 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
107 to rarely fail.
108
1094.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
110 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
111 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
112 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
113 in AnyEvent->io.
114 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
115 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
116 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
117 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
118 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
119 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
120 portable_socketpair.
121 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
122 YMMV.
123
1244.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
125 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
126 uppercase targets.
127 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
128 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
129 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
130 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
131 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
132 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
133 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
134 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
135 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
136 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
137 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
138 in the common case.
139 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
140 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
141 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
142 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
143 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
144 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
145 from the constructor.
146 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
147 then fall back to JSON.
148 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
149 and because it was documented that way.
150
1514.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
152 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
153 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
154
1554.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
156 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
157 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
158 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
159 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
160 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
161 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
162 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
163 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
164 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
165
1664.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
167 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
168 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
169 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
170 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
171 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
172
1734.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
174 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
175 and set it on the default resolver.
176 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
177 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
178 when running in tainted mode.
179 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
180
1814.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
182 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
183
1844.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
185 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
186 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
187 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
188 destructors.
189 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
190 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
191 implementation.
192 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
193 for cosmetic reasons.
194
1954.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
196 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
197 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
198 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
199 - sped up Tk timer handling.
200 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
201 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
202 - fix Qt timers without interval.
203 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
204
2054.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
206 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
207 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
208 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
209
2104.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
211 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
212 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
213 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
214 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
215
2164.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
217 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
218 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
219 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
220 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
221 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
222 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
223 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
224 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
225 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
226 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
227 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
228
2294.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
230 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
231 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
232 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
233 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
234 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
235 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
236 backend.
237 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
238
2394.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
240 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
241 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
242 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
243 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
244 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
245 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
246
2474.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
248 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
249 illegal.
250 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
251 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
252 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
253 by Adam Rosenstein).
254 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
255 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
256 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
257
2584.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
259 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
260 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
261 the socket type.
262 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
263
2644.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
265 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
266 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
267 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
268 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
269 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
270 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
271
2724.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
273 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
274 unless one has been installed already.
275 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
276 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
277 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
278 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
279 client would first wait for some data by the server and
280 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
281 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
282 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
283 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
284 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
285 Rosenstein).
286 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
287 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
288 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
289 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
290 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
291 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
292 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
293 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
294 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
295 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
296 now, more to come, though.
297 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
298
2994.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
300 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
301 no trace events.
302 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
303 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
304 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
3 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not 305 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
4 provide sub-second accuracy (all supported perl versions have 306 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
5 Time::HiRes). 307 Time::HiRes).

74.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008 3094.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
8 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang. 310 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
9 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments. 311 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
