4 6
7 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.

95.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
10 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
11 actually used in tcp_server.
12 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
13 missing.
14 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
15 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
16 resulting in more informative error messages.
17 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
18 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
19 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
20 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
21 of AnyEvent::TLS.
22 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
23 requested by Ron Isaacson.
24 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
25 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
26 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
27 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
28 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
29
305.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
31 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
32
335.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
34 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
35 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
36 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
37 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
38 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
39 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
40 - better/more condvar examples.
41
425.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
43 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
44 time (found by Andy Grundman).
45
465.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
47 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
48 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
49 by Bas Denissen).
50 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
51 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
52 EV and Perl backends.
53 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
54 backends.
55 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
56 never documented nor universally supported).
57 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
58 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
59
605.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
61 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
62 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
63 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
64
655.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
66 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
67 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
68 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
69 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
70 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
71 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
72 by lucky accident on win32.
73 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
74 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
75 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
76 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
77 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
78 detection and eval.
79 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
80 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
81 (same algorithm as EV).
82 - update unicode idna mapping table.
83
845.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
85 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
86 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
87 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
88 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
89
905.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
91 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
92 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
93 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
94 - provide $AE::VERSION.
95 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
96
975.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
98 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
99 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
100 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
101 when passing scalar data to extensions).
102 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
103 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
104 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
105 (John Beppu).
106 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
107 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
108 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
109 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
110
1115.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
112 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
113 (spotted by David Friedland).
114 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
115 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
116 unless you rip out everything but the core).
117 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
118 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
119
1205.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
121 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
122 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
123 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
124 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
125 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
126
1275.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
128 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
129 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
130 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
131 (analysed by elmex).
132
1335.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
134 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
135 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
136 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
137 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
138 AnyEvent::Handle.
5 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline". 139 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
6 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues. 140 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
141 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
142 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
