2 2
34.341 35.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
4 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
5
65.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
7 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
8 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
9 in AnyEvent::Handle.
10 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
11 settings.
12 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
13 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
14 exporting the probe function).
15 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
16 code to work around it's watcher limits.
17 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
18 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
19 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
20 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
21 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
22
234.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
24 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
25 already contains some TLS handshake.
26 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
27 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
28 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
29 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
30 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
31
324.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
33 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
34 a negative value, so avoid that.
35 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
36 after the condition is already signalled.
37 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
38 data.
39 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
40 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
41 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
42 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
43 any issues).
44 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
45 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
46 by name (not name or number).
47 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
48 only compiling signal code when necessary.
49 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
50 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
51 said future/alternative API.
52 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
53
544.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
55 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
56 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
57 (analyzed by elmex).
58
594.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
60 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
61 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
62 for errors after every push_write etc.
63 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
64 platforms.
65
664.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
67 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
68 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
69 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
70 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
71 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
72 tutorial accordingly.
73 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
74
754.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
76 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
77 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
78 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
79 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
80 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
81 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
82 in IO::Async.
83
844.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
85 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
86 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
87 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
88 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
89 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
90 documentation.
91 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
92 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
93 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
94 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
95 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
96 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
97
984.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
99 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
100 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
101 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
102 this trap.
103 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
104 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
105 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
106 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
107 on_read callbacks.
108 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
109
1104.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
111 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
112 callbacks.
113 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
114 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
115 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
116 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
117 Event::Lib.
118 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
119 to rarely fail.
120
1214.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
122 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
123 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
124 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
125 in AnyEvent->io.
126 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
127 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
128 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
129 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
130 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
131 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
132 portable_socketpair.
133 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
134 YMMV.
135
1364.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
137 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
138 uppercase targets.
139 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
140 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
141 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
142 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
143 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
144 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
145 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
146 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
147 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
148 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
149 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
150 in the common case.
151 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
152 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
153 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
154 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
155 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
156 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
157 from the constructor.
158 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
159 then fall back to JSON.
160 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
161 and because it was documented that way.
162
1634.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
164 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
165 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
166
1674.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
168 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
169 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
170 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
171 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
172 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
173 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
174 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
175 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
176 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
177
1784.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
179 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
180 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
181 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
182 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
183 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
184
1854.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
186 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
187 and set it on the default resolver.
188 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
189 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
190 when running in tainted mode.
191 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
192
1934.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
194 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
195
1964.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
197 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
198 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
199 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
200 destructors.
201 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
202 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
203 implementation.
204 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
205 for cosmetic reasons.
206
2074.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
208 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
209 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
210 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
211 - sped up Tk timer handling.
212 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
213 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
214 - fix Qt timers without interval.
215 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
216
2174.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
218 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
219 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
220 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
221
2224.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
223 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
224 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
225 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
226 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
227
2284.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
4 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did 229 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did

6 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own 231 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
7 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make 232 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
8 callback execution synchronous to the event loop. 233 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
234 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
235 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
9 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker. 236 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
10 - document that changing global variables without restoring them 237 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
