105.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
11 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
12 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
13 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
14 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
15 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
16 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
17 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
18 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
19 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
20 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
21 as part of the perl core.
22 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
23 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
24 minimal perl...).
25
265.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
27 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
28 actually used in tcp_server.
29 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
30 missing.
31 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
32 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
33 resulting in more informative error messages.
34 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
35 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
36 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
37 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
38 of AnyEvent::TLS.
39 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
40 requested by Ron Isaacson.
41 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
42 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
43 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
44 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
45 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
46
475.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
48 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
49
505.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
51 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
52 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
53 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
54 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
55 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
56 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
57 - better/more condvar examples.
58
595.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
60 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
61 time (found by Andy Grundman).
62
635.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
64 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
65 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
66 by Bas Denissen).
67 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
68 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
69 EV and Perl backends.
70 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
71 backends.
72 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
73 never documented nor universally supported).
74 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
75 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
76
775.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
78 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
79 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
80 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
81
825.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
83 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
84 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
85 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
86 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
87 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
88 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
89 by lucky accident on win32.
90 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
91 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
92 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
93 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
94 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
95 detection and eval.
96 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
97 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
98 (same algorithm as EV).
99 - update unicode idna mapping table.
100
1015.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
102 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
103 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
104 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
105 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
106
1075.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
108 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
109 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
110 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
111 - provide $AE::VERSION.
112 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
113
1145.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
115 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
116 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
117 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
118 when passing scalar data to extensions).
119 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
120 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
121 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
122 (John Beppu).
123 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
124 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
125 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
126 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
127
1285.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
129 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
130 (spotted by David Friedland).
131 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
132 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
133 unless you rip out everything but the core).
134 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
135 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
136
1375.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
138 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
139 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
140 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
141 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
142 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
143
1445.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
145 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
146 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
147 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
148 (analysed by elmex).
149
1505.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
151 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
152 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
153 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
154 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
155 AnyEvent::Handle.
156 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
157 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
158 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
159 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
160
1615.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
162 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
163 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
164 by Michael S. Fischer).
165 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
166 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
167 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
168 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
169 by default.
170 - fix some prototypes.
171 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
172 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
173
1745.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009

177 - port to broken win32 perls.
