3TODO: document TCP_*** constants
4TODO: catch AE::xxx for anyevent strict and anyevent debug
5TODO: anyevent::trace? or debug tracing all watchers?
6TODO: anyevent strict checking for $_ changes?
7
8 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
9 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
10 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
11 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
12 - passes the uts46 testsuite except for three cases which apparently
13 are bugs in the tetssuite itself.
14
155.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
16 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
17 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
18 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
19 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
20 documentation for caveats.
21 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
22 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
23 AnyEvent::Handle).
24 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
25 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
26
275.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
28 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
29 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
30 the availabilty of a default loop!
31 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
32 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
33 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
34 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
35 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
36 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
37 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
38 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
39
405.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
41 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
42 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
43 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
44 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
45 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
46 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
47 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
48 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
49 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
50 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
51 as part of the perl core.
52 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
53 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
54 minimal perl...).
55
565.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
57 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
58 actually used in tcp_server.
59 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
60 missing.
61 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
62 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
63 resulting in more informative error messages.
64 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
65 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
66 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
67 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
68 of AnyEvent::TLS.
69 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
70 requested by Ron Isaacson.
71 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
72 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
73 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
74 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
75 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
76
775.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
78 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
79
805.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
81 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
82 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
83 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
84 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
85 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
86 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
87 - better/more condvar examples.
88
895.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
90 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
91 time (found by Andy Grundman).
92
935.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
94 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
95 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
96 by Bas Denissen).
97 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
98 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
99 EV and Perl backends.
100 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
101 backends.
102 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
103 never documented nor universally supported).
104 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
105 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
106
1075.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
108 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
109 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
110 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
111
1125.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
113 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
114 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
115 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
116 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
117 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
118 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
119 by lucky accident on win32.
120 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
121 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
122 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
123 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
124 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
125 detection and eval.
126 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
127 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
128 (same algorithm as EV).
129 - update unicode idna mapping table.
130
1315.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
132 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
133 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
134 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
135 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
136
1375.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
138 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
139 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
140 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
141 - provide $AE::VERSION.
142 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
143
1445.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
145 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
146 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
147 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
148 when passing scalar data to extensions).
149 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
150 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
151 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
152 (John Beppu).
153 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
154 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
155 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
156 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
157
1585.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
159 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
160 (spotted by David Friedland).
161 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
162 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
163 unless you rip out everything but the core).
164 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
165 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
166
1675.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
168 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
169 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
170 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
171 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
172 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
173
1745.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
175 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
176 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
177 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
178 (analysed by elmex).
179
1805.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
181 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
182 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
183 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
184 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
185 AnyEvent::Handle.
186 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
187 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
188 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
189 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
190
1915.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
192 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
193 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
194 by Michael S. Fischer).
195 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
196 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
197 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
198 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
199 by default.
200 - fix some prototypes.
201 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
202 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
