2 2
35.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
4 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
5 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
6
75.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
8 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
9 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
10 in AnyEvent::Handle.
11 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
12 settings.
13 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
14 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
15 exporting the probe function).
16 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
17 code to work around it's watcher limits.
18 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
19 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
20 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
21 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
22 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
23
244.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
25 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
26 already contains some TLS handshake.
27 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
28 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
29 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
30 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
31 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
32
334.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
34 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
35 a negative value, so avoid that.
36 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
37 after the condition is already signalled.
38 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
39 data.
40 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
41 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
42 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
43 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
44 any issues).
45 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
46 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
47 by name (not name or number).
48 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
49 only compiling signal code when necessary.
50 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
51 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
52 said future/alternative API.
53 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
54
554.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
56 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
57 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
58 (analyzed by elmex).
59
604.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
61 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
62 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
63 for errors after every push_write etc.
64 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
65 platforms.
66
674.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
68 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
69 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
70 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
71 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
72 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
73 tutorial accordingly.
74 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
75
764.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
77 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
78 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
79 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
80 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
81 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
82 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
83 in IO::Async.
84
854.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
86 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
87 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
88 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
89 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
90 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
91 documentation.
92 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
93 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
94 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
95 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
96 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
97 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
98
994.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
100 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
101 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
102 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
103 this trap.
104 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
105 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
106 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
107 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
108 on_read callbacks.
109 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
110
1114.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
112 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
113 callbacks.
114 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
115 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
116 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
117 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
118 Event::Lib.
119 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
120 to rarely fail.
121
1224.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
123 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
124 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
125 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
126 in AnyEvent->io.
127 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
128 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
129 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
130 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
131 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
132 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
133 portable_socketpair.
134 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
135 YMMV.
136
1374.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
138 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
139 uppercase targets.
140 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
141 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
142 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
143 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
144 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
145 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
146 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
147 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
148 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
149 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
150 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
151 in the common case.
152 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
153 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
154 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
155 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
156 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
157 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
158 from the constructor.
159 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
160 then fall back to JSON.
161 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
162 and because it was documented that way.
163
1644.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
165 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
166 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
167
1684.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
169 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
170 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
171 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
172 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
173 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
174 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
175 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
176 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
177 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
178
1794.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
180 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
181 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
182 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
183 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
184 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
185
1864.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
187 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
188 and set it on the default resolver.
189 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
190 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
191 when running in tainted mode.
192 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
193
1944.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
195 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
196
1974.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
198 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
199 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
200 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
201 destructors.
202 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
203 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
204 implementation.
205 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
206 for cosmetic reasons.
207
2084.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
209 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
210 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
211 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
212 - sped up Tk timer handling.
213 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
214 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
215 - fix Qt timers without interval.
216 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
217
2184.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
219 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
220 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
221 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
222
2234.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
224 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
225 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
226 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
227 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
228
2294.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
230 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
231 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
232 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
233 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
234 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
235 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
236 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
237 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
238 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
239 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
240 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
241
2424.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
243 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
244 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
245 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
246 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
247 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
248 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
249 backend.
250 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
251
2524.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
253 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
254 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
255 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
256 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
257 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
258 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
259
2604.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
261 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
262 illegal.
263 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
264 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
265 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
266 by Adam Rosenstein).
267 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
268 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
269 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
270
2714.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
272 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
273 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
274 the socket type.
275 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
276
2774.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
278 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
279 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
280 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
281 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
282 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
283 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
284
2854.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
286 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
287 unless one has been installed already.
288 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
289 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
290 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
291 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
292 client would first wait for some data by the server and
293 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
294 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
295 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
296 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
297 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
298 Rosenstein).
299 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
300 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
301 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
302 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
303 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
304 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
305 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
306 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
307 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
308 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
309 now, more to come, though.
310 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
311
3124.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
313 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
314 no trace events.
315 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
316 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
317 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
318 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
319 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
320 Time::HiRes).
321
3224.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
323 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
324 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
325
3264.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
327 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
328 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
329 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
330 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
331
3324.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
333 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
334 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
335 perls without resource leaks or worse).
336
3374.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
3 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be 338 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
4 the callback. 339 the callback.
340 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
341 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
342 eol marker.
343 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
344 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
345 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
