156.0 (not officially released)
16 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
17 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve directly,
18 and ->request and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions
19 such as AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither
20 is AnyEvent::Socket.
21 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
22 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
23 methods.
24 - DEPRECIATION: please change
25 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
26 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
27 in your programs, for future compatibility.
28 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
29 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
30 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
31 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
32 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
33 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
34 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
35 - new function: AnyEvent::postpone.
36 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
37 a debug shell.
38 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
39 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
40 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
41 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
42 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
43 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
44 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
45 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
46 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
47 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
48 and (newly introduced) in POE.
49 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
50 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
51 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
52 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
53 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
54 (reported by Gerald Galster).
55 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
56 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
57 do not support blocking waits.
58 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
59 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
60 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
61 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
62 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
63 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
64
655.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
66 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
67 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
68 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
69
705.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
71 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
72 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
73 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
74 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
75 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
76 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
77 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
78 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
79 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
80 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
81 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
82 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
83 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
84
855.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
86 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
87 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
88 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
89 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
90 documentation for caveats.
91 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
92 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
93 AnyEvent::Handle).
94 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
95 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
96
975.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
98 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
99 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
100 the availabilty of a default loop!
101 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
102 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
103 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
104 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
105 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
106 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
107 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
108 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
109
1105.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
111 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
112 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
113 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
114 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
115 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
116 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
117 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
118 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
119 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
120 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
121 as part of the perl core.
122 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
123 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
124 minimal perl...).
125
1265.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
127 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
128 actually used in tcp_server.
129 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
130 missing.
131 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
132 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
133 resulting in more informative error messages.
134 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
135 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
136 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
137 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
138 of AnyEvent::TLS.
139 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
140 requested by Ron Isaacson.
141 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
142 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
143 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
144 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
145 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
146
1475.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
148 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
149
1505.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
151 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
152 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
153 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
154 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
155 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
156 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
157 - better/more condvar examples.
158
1595.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
160 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
161 time (found by Andy Grundman).
162
1635.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
164 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
165 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
166 by Bas Denissen).
167 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
168 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
169 EV and Perl backends.
170 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
171 backends.
172 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
173 never documented nor universally supported).
174 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
175 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
176
1775.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
178 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
179 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
180 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
181
1825.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
183 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
184 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
185 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
186 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
187 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
188 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
189 by lucky accident on win32.
190 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
191 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
192 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
193 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
194 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
195 detection and eval.
196 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
197 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
198 (same algorithm as EV).
199 - update unicode idna mapping table.
200
2015.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
202 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
203 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
204 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
205 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
206
2075.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
208 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
209 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
210 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
211 - provide $AE::VERSION.
212 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
213
2145.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
215 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
216 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
217 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
218 when passing scalar data to extensions).
219 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
220 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
221 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
222 (John Beppu).
223 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
224 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
225 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
226 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
227
2285.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
229 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
230 (spotted by David Friedland).
231 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
232 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
233 unless you rip out everything but the core).
234 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
235 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
236
2375.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
238 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
239 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
3 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the 240 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
4 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might 241 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
5 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve). 242 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
