8TODO: wbuf_max for anyevent
9TODO: fix with the rest: POE + IO::Async? No go. Tk + Event? No go. Again: if
10 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
11 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
12 the availabilty of a default loop!
13 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
14 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
15 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
16 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
17 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
18
195.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
20 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
21 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
22 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
23 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
24 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
25 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
26 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
27 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
28 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
29 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
30 as part of the perl core.
31 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
32 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
33 minimal perl...).
34
355.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
36 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
37 actually used in tcp_server.
38 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
39 missing.
40 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
41 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
42 resulting in more informative error messages.
43 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
44 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
45 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
46 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
47 of AnyEvent::TLS.
48 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
49 requested by Ron Isaacson.
50 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
51 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
52 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
53 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
54 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
55
565.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
57 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
58
595.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
60 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
61 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
62 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
63 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
64 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
65 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
66 - better/more condvar examples.
67
685.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
69 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
70 time (found by Andy Grundman).
71
725.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
73 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
74 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
75 by Bas Denissen).
76 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
77 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
78 EV and Perl backends.
79 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
80 backends.
81 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
82 never documented nor universally supported).
83 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
84 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
85
865.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
87 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
88 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
89 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
90
915.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
92 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
93 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
94 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
95 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
96 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
97 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
98 by lucky accident on win32.
99 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
100 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
101 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
102 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
103 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
104 detection and eval.
105 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
106 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
107 (same algorithm as EV).
108 - update unicode idna mapping table.
109
1105.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
111 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
112 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
113 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
114 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
115
1165.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
117 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
118 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
119 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
120 - provide $AE::VERSION.
121 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
122
1235.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
124 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
125 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
126 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
127 when passing scalar data to extensions).
128 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
129 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
130 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
131 (John Beppu).
132 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
133 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
134 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
135 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
136
1375.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
138 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
139 (spotted by David Friedland).
140 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
141 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
142 unless you rip out everything but the core).
143 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
144 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
145
1465.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
147 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
148 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
149 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
150 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
151 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
152
1535.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
154 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
155 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
156 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
157 (analysed by elmex).
158
1595.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
160 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
161 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
162 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
163 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
164 AnyEvent::Handle.
5 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline". 165 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
6 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues. 166 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
167 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
168 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
