4 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
5 one (was broken since 4.91).
6 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
7 when retrying a tcp_connect.
8 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
9 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
10
115.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
12 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
13
145.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
15 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
16 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
17 in AnyEvent::Handle.
18 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
19 settings.
20 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
21 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
22 exporting the probe function).
23 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
24 code to work around it's watcher limits.
25 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
26 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
27 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
28 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
29 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
30
314.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
32 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
33 already contains some TLS handshake.
34 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
35 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
36 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
37 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
38 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
39
404.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
41 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
42 a negative value, so avoid that.
43 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
44 after the condition is already signalled.
45 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
46 data.
47 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
48 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
49 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
50 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
51 any issues).
52 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
53 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
54 by name (not name or number).
55 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
56 only compiling signal code when necessary.
57 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
58 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
59 said future/alternative API.
60 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
61
624.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
63 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
64 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
65 (analyzed by elmex).
66
674.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
68 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
69 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
70 for errors after every push_write etc.
71 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
72 platforms.
73
744.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
75 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
76 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
77 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
78 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
79 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
80 tutorial accordingly.
81 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
82
834.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
84 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
85 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
86 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
87 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
88 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
89 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
90 in IO::Async.
91
924.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
93 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
94 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
95 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
96 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
97 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
98 documentation.
99 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
100 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
101 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
102 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
103 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
104 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
105
1064.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
107 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
108 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
109 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
110 this trap.
111 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
112 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
113 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
114 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
115 on_read callbacks.
116 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
117
1184.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
119 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
120 callbacks.
121 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
122 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
123 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
124 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
125 Event::Lib.
126 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
127 to rarely fail.
128
1294.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
130 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
131 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
132 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
133 in AnyEvent->io.
134 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
135 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
136 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
137 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
138 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
139 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
140 portable_socketpair.
141 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
142 YMMV.
143
1444.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
145 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
146 uppercase targets.
147 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
148 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
149 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
150 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
151 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
152 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
153 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
154 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
155 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
156 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
157 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
158 in the common case.
159 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
160 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
161 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
162 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
163 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
164 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
165 from the constructor.
166 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
167 then fall back to JSON.
168 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
169 and because it was documented that way.
170
1714.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
172 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
173 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
174
1754.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
176 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
177 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
178 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
179 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
180 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
181 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
182 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
183 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
184 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
185
1864.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
3 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async. 187 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
4 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in 188 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
5 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses 189 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
6 even when the calling env acts stupidly. 190 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
7 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well. 191 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
