8 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
9 actually used in tcp_server.
10 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
11 missing.
12 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
13 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
14 resulting in more informative error messages.
15 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
16 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
17 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
18 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
19 of AnyEvent::TLS.
20 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
21 requested by Ron Isaacson.
22 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
23 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
24 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
25 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
26 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
27
285.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
29 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
30
315.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
32 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
33 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
34 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
35 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
36 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
37 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
38 - better/more condvar examples.
39
405.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
41 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
42 time (found by Andy Grundman).
43
445.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
45 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
46 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
47 by Bas Denissen).
48 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
49 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
50 EV and Perl backends.
51 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
52 backends.
53 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
54 never documented nor universally supported).
55 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
56 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
57
585.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
59 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
60 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
61 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
62
635.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
64 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
65 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
66 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
67 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
68 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
69 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
70 by lucky accident on win32.
71 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
72 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
73 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
74 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
75 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
76 detection and eval.
77 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
78 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
79 (same algorithm as EV).
80 - update unicode idna mapping table.
81
825.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
83 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
84 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
85 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
86 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
87
885.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
89 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
90 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
91 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
92 - provide $AE::VERSION.
93 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
94
955.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
96 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
97 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
98 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
99 when passing scalar data to extensions).
100 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
101 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
102 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
103 (John Beppu).
104 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
105 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
106 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
107 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
108
1095.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
110 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
111 (spotted by David Friedland).
112 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
113 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
114 unless you rip out everything but the core).
115 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
116 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
117
1185.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
119 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
120 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
121 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
122 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
123 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
124
1255.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
126 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
127 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
128 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
129 (analysed by elmex).
130
1315.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
132 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
133 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
134 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
135 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
136 AnyEvent::Handle.
5 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline". 137 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
6 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues. 138 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
139 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
140 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
