35.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
4 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
5 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
6 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
7 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
8 AnyEvent::Handle.
9 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
10 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
11 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
12 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
13
145.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
15 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
16 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
17 by Michael S. Fischer).
18 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
19 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
20 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
21 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
22 by default.
23 - fix some prototypes.
24 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
25 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
26
275.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
28 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
29 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
30 - port to broken win32 perls.
31
325.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
33 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
34 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
35 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
36 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
37 OSes as well).
38
395.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
40 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
41 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
42 to reduce dependency on JSON.
43
445.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
45 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
46 one (was broken since 4.91).
47 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
48 when retrying a tcp_connect.
49 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
50 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
51
525.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
53 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
54
555.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
56 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
57 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
58 in AnyEvent::Handle.
59 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
60 settings.
61 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
62 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
63 exporting the probe function).
64 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
65 code to work around it's watcher limits.
66 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
67 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
68 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
69 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
70 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
71
724.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
73 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
74 already contains some TLS handshake.
75 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
76 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
77 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
78 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
79 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
80
814.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
82 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
83 a negative value, so avoid that.
84 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
85 after the condition is already signalled.
86 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
87 data.
88 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
89 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
90 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
91 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
92 any issues).
93 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
94 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
95 by name (not name or number).
96 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
97 only compiling signal code when necessary.
98 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
99 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
100 said future/alternative API.
101 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
102
1034.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
104 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
105 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
106 (analyzed by elmex).
107
1084.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
109 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
110 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
111 for errors after every push_write etc.
112 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
113 platforms.
114
1154.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
116 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
117 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
118 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
119 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
120 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
121 tutorial accordingly.
122 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
123
1244.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
125 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
126 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
127 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
128 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
129 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
130 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
131 in IO::Async.
132
1334.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
134 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
135 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
136 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
137 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
138 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
139 documentation.
140 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
141 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
142 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
143 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
144 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
145 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
146
1474.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
148 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
149 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
150 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
151 this trap.
152 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
153 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
154 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
155 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
156 on_read callbacks.
157 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
158
1594.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
160 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
161 callbacks.
162 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
163 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
164 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
165 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
166 Event::Lib.
167 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
168 to rarely fail.
169
1704.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
171 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
172 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
173 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
174 in AnyEvent->io.
175 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
176 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
177 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
178 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
179 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
180 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
181 portable_socketpair.
182 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
183 YMMV.
184
1854.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
186 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
187 uppercase targets.
188 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
189 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
190 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
191 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
192 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
193 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
194 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
195 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
196 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
197 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
198 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
199 in the common case.
200 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
201 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
202 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
203 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
204 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
205 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
206 from the constructor.
207 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
208 then fall back to JSON.
209 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
210 and because it was documented that way.
211
2124.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
213 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
214 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
215
2164.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
217 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
218 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
219 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
220 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
221 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
222 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
223 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
224 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
225 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
226
2274.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
228 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
229 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
230 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
231 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
232 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
233
2344.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
235 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
236 and set it on the default resolver.
237 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
238 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
239 when running in tainted mode.
240 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
241
2424.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
243 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
244
2454.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
246 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
247 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
248 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
249 destructors.
250 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
251 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
252 implementation.
253 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
254 for cosmetic reasons.
255
2564.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
257 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
258 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
259 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
260 - sped up Tk timer handling.
261 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
262 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
263 - fix Qt timers without interval.
264 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
265
2664.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
267 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
268 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
269 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
270
2714.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
272 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
273 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
274 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
275 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
276
2774.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
278 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
279 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
280 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
281 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
282 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
283 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
284 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
285 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
286 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
287 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
288 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
289
2904.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
291 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
292 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
293 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
3 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors. 294 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
4 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß). 295 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
5 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl 296 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
6 backend. 297 backend.
7 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl. 298 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
