9 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
10 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
11 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
12 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
13 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
14 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
15 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
16 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
17 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
18 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
19 as part of the perl core.
20 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
21 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
22 minimal perl...).
23
245.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
25 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
26 actually used in tcp_server.
27 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
28 missing.
29 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
30 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
31 resulting in more informative error messages.
32 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
33 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
34 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
35 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
36 of AnyEvent::TLS.
37 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
38 requested by Ron Isaacson.
39 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
40 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
41 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
42 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
43 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
44
455.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
46 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
47
485.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
49 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
50 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
51 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
52 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
53 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
54 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
55 - better/more condvar examples.
56
575.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
58 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
59 time (found by Andy Grundman).
60
615.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
62 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
63 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
64 by Bas Denissen).
65 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
66 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
67 EV and Perl backends.
68 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
69 backends.
70 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
71 never documented nor universally supported).
72 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
73 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
74
755.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
76 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
77 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
78 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
79
805.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
81 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
82 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
83 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
84 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
85 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
86 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
87 by lucky accident on win32.
88 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
89 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
90 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
91 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
92 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
93 detection and eval.
94 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
95 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
96 (same algorithm as EV).
97 - update unicode idna mapping table.
98
995.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
100 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
101 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
102 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
103 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
104
1055.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
106 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
107 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
108 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
109 - provide $AE::VERSION.
110 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
111
1125.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
113 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
114 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
115 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
116 when passing scalar data to extensions).
117 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
118 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
119 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
120 (John Beppu).
121 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
122 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
123 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
124 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
125
1265.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
127 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
128 (spotted by David Friedland).
129 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
130 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
131 unless you rip out everything but the core).
132 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
133 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
134
1355.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
136 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
137 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
138 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
139 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
140 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
141
1425.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
143 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
144 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
145 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
146 (analysed by elmex).
147
1485.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
149 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
150 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
151 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
152 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
153 AnyEvent::Handle.
154 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
155 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
156 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
157 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
158
1595.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
160 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
161 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
162 by Michael S. Fischer).
163 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
164 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
165 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
166 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
167 by default.
168 - fix some prototypes.
169 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
170 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
171
1725.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009

175 - port to broken win32 perls.
