1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.

3 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
4 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
5 by Bas Denissen).
6 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
7 EV and Perl backends.
8 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
9 backends.
10 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
11 never documented nor universally supported).
12 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
13 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
14
155.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
16 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
17 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
18 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
19
205.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
21 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
22 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
23 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
24 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
25 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
26 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
27 by lucky accident on win32.
28 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
29 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
30 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
31 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
32 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
33 detection and eval.
34 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
35 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
36 (same algorithm as EV).
37 - update unicode idna mapping table.
38
395.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
40 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
41 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
42 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
43 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
44
455.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
46 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
47 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
48 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
49 - provide $AE::VERSION.
50 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
51
525.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
53 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
54 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
55 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
56 when passing scalar data to extensions).
57 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
58 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
59 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
60 (John Beppu).
61 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
62 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
63 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
64 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
65
665.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
67 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
68 (spotted by David Friedland).
69 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
70 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
71 unless you rip out everything but the core).
72 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
73 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
74
755.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
76 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
77 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
78 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
79 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
80 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
81
825.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
83 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
84 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
85 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
86 (analysed by elmex).
87
885.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
89 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
90 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
91 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
92 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
93 AnyEvent::Handle.
94 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
95 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
96 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
97 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
98
995.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
100 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
101 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
102 by Michael S. Fischer).
103 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
104 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
105 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
106 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
107 by default.
108 - fix some prototypes.
109 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
110 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
111
1125.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
113 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
114 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
115 - port to broken win32 perls.
116
1175.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
118 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
119 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
120 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
121 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
122 OSes as well).
123
1245.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
125 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
126 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
127 to reduce dependency on JSON.
