3TODO: pass values to anyevent condvar callback, make this count as recv.
45.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
5 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
6 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
7 - port to broken win32 perls.
8
95.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
10 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
11 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
12 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
13 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
14 OSes as well).
15
165.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
17 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
18 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
19 to reduce dependency on JSON.
20
215.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
22 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
23 one (was broken since 4.91).
24 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
25 when retrying a tcp_connect.
26 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
27 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
28
295.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
30 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
31
325.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
33 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
34 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
35 in AnyEvent::Handle.
36 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
37 settings.
38 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
39 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
40 exporting the probe function).
41 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
42 code to work around it's watcher limits.
43 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
44 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
45 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
46 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
47 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
48
494.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
50 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
51 already contains some TLS handshake.
52 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
53 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
54 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
55 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
56 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
57
584.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
59 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
60 a negative value, so avoid that.
61 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
62 after the condition is already signalled.
63 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
64 data.
65 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
66 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
67 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
68 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
69 any issues).
70 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
71 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
72 by name (not name or number).
73 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
74 only compiling signal code when necessary.
75 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
76 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
77 said future/alternative API.
78 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
79
804.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
81 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
82 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
83 (analyzed by elmex).
84
854.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
86 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
87 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
88 for errors after every push_write etc.
89 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
90 platforms.
91
924.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
93 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
94 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
95 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
96 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
97 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
98 tutorial accordingly.
99 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
100
1014.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
102 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
103 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
104 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
105 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
106 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
107 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
108 in IO::Async.
109
1104.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
111 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
112 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
113 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
114 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
115 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
116 documentation.
117 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
118 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
119 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
120 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
121 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
122 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
123
1244.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
125 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
126 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
127 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
128 this trap.
129 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
130 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
131 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
132 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
133 on_read callbacks.
134 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
135
1364.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
137 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
138 callbacks.
139 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
140 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
141 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
142 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
143 Event::Lib.
144 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
145 to rarely fail.
146
1474.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
148 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
149 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
150 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
151 in AnyEvent->io.
152 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
153 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
154 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
155 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
156 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
157 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
158 portable_socketpair.
159 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
160 YMMV.
161
1624.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
163 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
164 uppercase targets.
165 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
166 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
167 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
168 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
169 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
170 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
171 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
172 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
173 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
174 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
175 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
176 in the common case.
177 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
178 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
179 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
180 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
181 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
182 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
183 from the constructor.
184 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
185 then fall back to JSON.
186 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
187 and because it was documented that way.
188
1894.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
190 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
191 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
192
1934.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
194 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
195 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
196 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
197 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
198 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
199 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
200 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
201 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
202 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
203
2044.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
205 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
206 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
207 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
208 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
209 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
210
2114.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
212 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
213 and set it on the default resolver.
214 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
215 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
216 when running in tainted mode.
217 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
218
2194.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
220 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
221
2224.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
223 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
224 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
225 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
226 destructors.
227 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
228 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
229 implementation.
230 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
231 for cosmetic reasons.
232
2334.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
234 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
235 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
236 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
237 - sped up Tk timer handling.
238 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
239 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
240 - fix Qt timers without interval.
241 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
242
2434.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
244 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
245 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
246 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
247
2484.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
249 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
250 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
251 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
252 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
253
2544.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
255 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
256 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
257 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
258 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
259 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
260 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
261 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
262 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
263 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
264 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
265 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
266
2674.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
268 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
269 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
270 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
271 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
272 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
273 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
274 backend.
275 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
276
2774.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
278 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
279 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
280 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
281 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
282 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
283 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
284
2854.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
286 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
287 illegal.
288 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
289 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
290 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
291 by Adam Rosenstein).
292 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
293 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
294 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
295
2964.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
297 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
298 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
299 the socket type.
300 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
301
3024.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
3 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method. 303 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
4 - hint about unexpected effects in tls mode. 304 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
5 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays 305 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
6 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :) 306 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
7 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug. 307 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
8 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free. 308 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
