3TODO: packagename for ae types 3TODO: document TCP_*** constants
4 4
5TODO: log message level redistribute?
6TOOD: stop internals abusing
7TODO: AE::logger
8TODO: add debug/trace logging to some modules
9TODO: poe child watcher hang?
10TODO: $autload model kill?
11 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
12 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
13 to higher log levels to print by default.
14 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
15 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
16 of 127.0.0.1).
17 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
18 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
19 intervals.
20 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
21 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
22 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx.
23 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
24
256.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
26 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
27 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
28 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
29 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
30 to work around.
31 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
32
336.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011
34 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
35 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
36 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
37 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
38 AnyEvent::Socket.
39 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
40 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
41 methods.
42 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
43 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
44 - DEPRECIATION: please change
45 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
46 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
47 in your programs, for future compatibility.
48 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
49 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
50 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
51 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
52 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
53 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
54 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
55 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
56 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
57 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
58 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
59 a debug shell.
60 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
61 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
62 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
63 F</etc/hosts> can be found.
64 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
65 configuration.
66 - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
67 PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
68 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
69 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications $_ by the callback
70 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
71 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
72 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
73 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
74 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
75 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
76 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
77 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
78 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
79 supports /etc/hosts overrides.
80 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
81 and (newly introduced) in POE.
82 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
83 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
84 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
85 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
86 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
87 (reported by Gerald Galster).
88 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
89 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
90 do not support blocking waits.
91 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
92 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
93 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
94 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
95 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
96 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
97 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
98 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
99 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
100 - suppress the idiotic warning inside POE by patching the POE::Kernel
101 run flags instead of asking the user to jump through contortions.
102 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
103 - replace PF_UNSPEC by 0, for good old minix.
104
1056.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)
106
1075.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
108 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
109 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
110 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
111
1125.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
113 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
114 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
115 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
116 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
117 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
118 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
119 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
120 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
121 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
122 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
123 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
124 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
125 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
126
1275.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
128 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
129 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
130 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
131 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
132 documentation for caveats.
133 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
134 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
135 AnyEvent::Handle).
136 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
137 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
138
1395.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
140 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
141 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
142 the availabilty of a default loop!
143 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
144 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
145 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
146 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
147 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
148 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
149 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
150 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
151
1525.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
153 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
154 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
155 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
156 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
157 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
158 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
159 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
160 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
161 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
162 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
163 as part of the perl core.
164 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
165 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
166 minimal perl...).
167
1685.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
169 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
170 actually used in tcp_server.
171 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
172 missing.
173 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
174 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
175 resulting in more informative error messages.
176 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
177 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
178 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
179 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
180 of AnyEvent::TLS.
181 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
182 requested by Ron Isaacson.
183 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
184 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
185 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
186 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
187 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
188
1895.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
190 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
191
1925.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
193 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
194 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
195 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
196 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
197 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
198 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
199 - better/more condvar examples.
200
2015.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
202 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
203 time (found by Andy Grundman).
204
2055.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
206 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
207 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
208 by Bas Denissen).
209 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
210 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
211 EV and Perl backends.
212 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
213 backends.
214 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
215 never documented nor universally supported).
216 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
217 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
218
2195.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
220 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
221 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
222 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
223
2245.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
225 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
226 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
227 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
228 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
229 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
230 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
231 by lucky accident on win32.
232 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
233 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
234 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
235 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
236 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
237 detection and eval.
238 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
239 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
240 (same algorithm as EV).
241 - update unicode idna mapping table.
242
2435.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
244 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
245 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
246 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
247 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
248
2495.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
250 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
251 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
252 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
253 - provide $AE::VERSION.
254 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
255
2565.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
257 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
258 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
259 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
260 when passing scalar data to extensions).
261 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
262 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
263 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
264 (John Beppu).
265 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
266 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
267 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
268 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
269
2705.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
271 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
272 (spotted by David Friedland).
273 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
274 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
275 unless you rip out everything but the core).
276 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
277 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
278
2795.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
280 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
281 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
282 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
283 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
284 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
285
2865.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
287 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
288 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
289 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
290 (analysed by elmex).
291
2925.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
293 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
294 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
295 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
296 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
297 AnyEvent::Handle.
5 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline". 298 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
6 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues. 299 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
300 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
301 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
