3TODO: document TCP_*** constants
4TODO: catch AE::xxx for anyevent struct and anyevent debug
5TODO: anyevent::trace? or debug tracing all watchers?
6TODO: anyevent strict etc. for AE::
7TODO: anyevent strict checking for $_ changes?
8
9 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API.
10 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
11 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
12 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
13 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
14
155.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
16 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
17 actually used in tcp_server.
18 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
19 missing.
20 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
21 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
22 resulting in more informative error messages.
23 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
24 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
25 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
26 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
27 of AnyEvent::TLS.
28 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
29 requested by Ron Isaacson.
30 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
31 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
32 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
33 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
34 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
35
365.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
37 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
38
395.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
40 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
41 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
42 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
43 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
44 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
45 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
46 - better/more condvar examples.
47
485.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
49 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
50 time (found by Andy Grundman).
51
525.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
53 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
54 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
55 by Bas Denissen).
56 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
57 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
58 EV and Perl backends.
59 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
60 backends.
61 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
62 never documented nor universally supported).
63 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
64 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
65
665.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
67 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
68 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
69 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
70
715.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
72 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
73 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
74 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
75 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
76 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
77 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
78 by lucky accident on win32.
79 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
80 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
81 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
82 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
83 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
84 detection and eval.
85 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
86 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
87 (same algorithm as EV).
88 - update unicode idna mapping table.
89
905.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
91 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
92 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
93 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
94 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
95
965.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
97 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
98 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
99 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
100 - provide $AE::VERSION.
101 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
102
1035.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
104 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
105 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
106 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
107 when passing scalar data to extensions).
108 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
109 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
110 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
111 (John Beppu).
112 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
113 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
114 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
115 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
116
1175.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
118 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
119 (spotted by David Friedland).
120 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
121 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
122 unless you rip out everything but the core).
123 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
124 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
125
1265.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
127 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
128 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
129 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
130 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
131 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
132
1335.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
134 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
135 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
136 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
137 (analysed by elmex).
138
1395.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
140 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
141 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
142 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
143 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
144 AnyEvent::Handle.
145 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
146 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
147 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
148 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
149
1505.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
151 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
152 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
153 by Michael S. Fischer).
154 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
155 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
156 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
157 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
158 by default.
159 - fix some prototypes.
160 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
161 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
162
1635.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
164 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
165 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
166 - port to broken win32 perls.
167
1685.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
169 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
170 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
171 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
172 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
173 OSes as well).
174
1755.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
176 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
177 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
178 to reduce dependency on JSON.
