3ZERO_RETURN - stoptls? 35.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
4 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
5 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
6 to reduce dependency on JSON.

85.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
9 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
10 one (was broken since 4.91).
11 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
12 when retrying a tcp_connect.
13 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
14 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
15
165.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
17 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
18
195.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
20 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
21 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
22 in AnyEvent::Handle.
23 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
24 settings.
25 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
26 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
27 exporting the probe function).
28 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
29 code to work around it's watcher limits.
30 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
31 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
32 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
33 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
34 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
35
364.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
37 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
38 already contains some TLS handshake.
39 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
40 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
41 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
42 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
43 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
44
454.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
46 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
47 a negative value, so avoid that.
48 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
49 after the condition is already signalled.
50 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
51 data.
52 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
53 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
54 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
55 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
56 any issues).
57 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
58 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
59 by name (not name or number).
60 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
61 only compiling signal code when necessary.
62 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
63 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
64 said future/alternative API.
65 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
66
674.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
68 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
69 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
70 (analyzed by elmex).
71
724.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
73 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
74 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
75 for errors after every push_write etc.
76 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
77 platforms.
78
794.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
80 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
81 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
82 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
83 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
84 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
85 tutorial accordingly.
86 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
87
884.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
89 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
90 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
91 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
92 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
93 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
94 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
95 in IO::Async.
96
974.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
98 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
99 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
100 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
101 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
102 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
103 documentation.
104 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
105 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
106 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
107 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
108 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
109 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
110
1114.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
112 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
113 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
114 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
115 this trap.
116 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
117 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
118 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
119 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
120 on_read callbacks.
121 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
122
1234.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
124 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
125 callbacks.
126 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
127 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
128 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
129 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
130 Event::Lib.
131 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
132 to rarely fail.
133
1344.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
135 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
136 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
137 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
138 in AnyEvent->io.
139 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
140 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
141 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
142 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
143 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
144 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
145 portable_socketpair.
146 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
147 YMMV.
148
1494.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
150 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
151 uppercase targets.
152 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
153 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
154 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
155 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
156 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
157 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
158 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
159 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
160 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
4 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS, 161 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
5 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint 162 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
6 in the common case. 163 in the common case.
7 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method. 164 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
8 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's 165 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
9 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available). 166 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
167 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
10 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction 168 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
11 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case 169 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
12 from the constructor. 170 from the constructor.
13 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first, 171 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
14 then fall back to JSON. 172 then fall back to JSON.
173 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
174 and because it was documented that way.

164.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009 1764.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
17 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle 177 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
18 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP. 178 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
