2 2
3TODO: _AVOID_, _VERBOSE_ 3TODO: packagename for ae types
4 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop. 4
5 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
6 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
7 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
8 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in AnyEvent::Handle.
9 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
10 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
11
125.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
13 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
14 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
15 by Michael S. Fischer).
16 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
17 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
18 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
19 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
20 by default.
21 - fix some prototypes.
22 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
23 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
24
255.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
26 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
27 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
28 - port to broken win32 perls.
29
305.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
31 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
32 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
33 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
34 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
35 OSes as well).
36
375.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
38 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
39 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
40 to reduce dependency on JSON.
41
425.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
43 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
44 one (was broken since 4.91).
45 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
46 when retrying a tcp_connect.
47 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
48 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
49
505.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
51 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
52
535.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
54 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
55 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
56 in AnyEvent::Handle.
57 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
58 settings.
59 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
60 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
61 exporting the probe function).
62 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
63 code to work around it's watcher limits.
64 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
65 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
66 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
67 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
68 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
69
704.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
71 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
72 already contains some TLS handshake.
73 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
74 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
75 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
76 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
77 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
78
794.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
80 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
81 a negative value, so avoid that.
82 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
83 after the condition is already signalled.
84 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
85 data.
86 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
87 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
88 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
89 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
90 any issues).
91 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
92 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
93 by name (not name or number).
94 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
95 only compiling signal code when necessary.
96 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
97 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
98 said future/alternative API.
99 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
100
1014.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
102 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
103 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
104 (analyzed by elmex).
105
1064.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
107 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
108 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
109 for errors after every push_write etc.
110 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
111 platforms.
112
1134.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
114 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
115 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
116 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
117 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
118 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
119 tutorial accordingly.
120 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
121
1224.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
123 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
124 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
125 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
126 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
127 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
128 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
129 in IO::Async.

1314.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
5 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all 132 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
6 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY). 133 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
7 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available. 134 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
8 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only. 135 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
9 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent 136 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
10 documentation. 137 documentation.
11 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty) 138 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
12 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules. 139 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
13 - work around buggy windows perls and provide EBADMSG and EPROTO 140 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
14 ourselves. 141 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
142 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
143 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
