85.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
9 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
10 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
11 the availabilty of a default loop!
12 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
13 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
14 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
15 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
16 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
17 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
18 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
19 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
20
215.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
22 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
23 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
24 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
25 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
26 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
27 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
28 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
29 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
30 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
31 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
32 as part of the perl core.
33 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
34 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
35 minimal perl...).
36
375.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
38 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
39 actually used in tcp_server.
40 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
41 missing.
42 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
43 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
44 resulting in more informative error messages.
45 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
46 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
47 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
48 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
49 of AnyEvent::TLS.
50 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
51 requested by Ron Isaacson.
52 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
53 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
54 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
55 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
56 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
57
585.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
59 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
60
615.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
62 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
63 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
64 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
65 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
66 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
67 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
68 - better/more condvar examples.
69
705.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
71 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
72 time (found by Andy Grundman).
73
745.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
75 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
76 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
77 by Bas Denissen).
78 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
79 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
80 EV and Perl backends.
81 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
82 backends.
83 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
84 never documented nor universally supported).
85 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
86 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
87
885.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
89 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
90 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
91 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
92
935.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
94 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
95 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
96 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
97 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
98 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
99 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
100 by lucky accident on win32.
101 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
102 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
103 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
104 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
105 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
106 detection and eval.
107 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
108 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
109 (same algorithm as EV).
110 - update unicode idna mapping table.
111
1125.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
113 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
114 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
115 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
116 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
117
1185.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
119 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
120 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
121 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
122 - provide $AE::VERSION.
123 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
124
1255.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
126 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
127 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
128 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
129 when passing scalar data to extensions).
130 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
131 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
132 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
133 (John Beppu).
134 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
135 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
136 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
137 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
138
1395.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
140 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
141 (spotted by David Friedland).
142 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
143 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
144 unless you rip out everything but the core).
145 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
146 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
147
1485.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
149 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
150 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
151 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
152 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
153 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
154
1555.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
156 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
157 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
158 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
159 (analysed by elmex).
160
1615.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
162 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
163 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
164 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
165 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
166 AnyEvent::Handle.
167 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
168 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
169 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
170 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
171
1725.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
173 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
174 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
175 by Michael S. Fischer).
176 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
177 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
178 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
179 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
180 by default.
181 - fix some prototypes.
182 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
183 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
184
1855.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
186 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
187 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
188 - port to broken win32 perls.
189
1905.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
191 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
192 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
193 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
194 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
195 OSes as well).
196
1975.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
198 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
199 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
200 to reduce dependency on JSON.
201
2025.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
203 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
204 one (was broken since 4.91).
205 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
206 when retrying a tcp_connect.
207 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
208 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
209
2105.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
211 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
