9 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
10 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve directly,
11 and ->request and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions
12 such as AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected.
13 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
14 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
15 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
16 - add support for (currently third-party) AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK.
17 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
18 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
19 (reported by Gerald Galster).
20 - resolve AnyEvent::Util::guard at first-use-time, not at load time,
21 for further speed and memory savings when not used.
22 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
23 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
24 do not support blockign waits.
25
265.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
27 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
28 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
29 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
30
315.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
32 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
33 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
34 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
35 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
36 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
37 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
38 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
39 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
40 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
41 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
42 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
43 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
44 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
45
465.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
47 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
48 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
49 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
50 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
51 documentation for caveats.
52 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
53 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
54 AnyEvent::Handle).
55 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
56 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
57
585.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
59 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
60 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
61 the availabilty of a default loop!
62 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
63 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
64 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
65 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
66 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
67 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
68 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
69 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
70
715.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
72 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
73 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
74 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
75 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
76 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
77 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
78 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
79 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
80 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
81 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
82 as part of the perl core.
83 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
84 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
85 minimal perl...).
86
875.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
88 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
89 actually used in tcp_server.
90 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
91 missing.
92 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
93 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
94 resulting in more informative error messages.
95 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
96 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
97 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
98 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
99 of AnyEvent::TLS.
100 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
101 requested by Ron Isaacson.
102 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
103 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
104 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
105 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
106 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
107
1085.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
109 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
110
1115.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
112 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
113 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
114 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
115 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
116 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
117 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
118 - better/more condvar examples.
119
1205.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
121 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
122 time (found by Andy Grundman).
123
1245.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
125 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
126 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
127 by Bas Denissen).
128 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
129 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
130 EV and Perl backends.
131 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
132 backends.
133 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
134 never documented nor universally supported).
135 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
136 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
137
1385.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
139 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
140 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
141 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
142
1435.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
144 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
145 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
146 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
147 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
148 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
149 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
150 by lucky accident on win32.
151 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
152 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
153 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
154 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
155 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
156 detection and eval.
157 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
158 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
159 (same algorithm as EV).
160 - update unicode idna mapping table.
161
1625.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
163 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
164 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
165 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
166 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
167
1685.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
169 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
170 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
171 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
172 - provide $AE::VERSION.
173 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
174
1755.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
176 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
177 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
178 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
179 when passing scalar data to extensions).
180 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
181 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
182 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
183 (John Beppu).
184 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
185 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
186 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
187 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
188
1895.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
190 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
191 (spotted by David Friedland).
192 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
193 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
194 unless you rip out everything but the core).
195 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
196 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
197
1985.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
199 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
200 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
3 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the 201 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
4 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might 202 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
5 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve). 203 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
