1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2 2
3 - fix a problem where socket consntants were called with parameters
4 (spotted by David Friedland).
5 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
6 unless you rip out everything but the core).
7
85.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
9 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
10 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
11 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
12 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
13 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
14
155.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
16 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
17 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
18 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
19 (analysed by elmex).
20
215.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
22 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
23 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
24 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
25 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
26 AnyEvent::Handle.
27 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
28 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
29 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
30 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
31
325.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
33 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
34 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
35 by Michael S. Fischer).
36 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
37 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
38 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
39 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
40 by default.
41 - fix some prototypes.
42 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
43 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
44
455.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
46 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
47 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
48 - port to broken win32 perls.
49
505.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
51 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
52 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
53 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
54 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
55 OSes as well).
56
575.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
58 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
59 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
60 to reduce dependency on JSON.
61
625.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
63 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
64 one (was broken since 4.91).
65 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
66 when retrying a tcp_connect.
67 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
68 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
69
705.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
71 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
72
735.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
74 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
75 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
76 in AnyEvent::Handle.
77 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
78 settings.
79 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
80 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
81 exporting the probe function).
82 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
83 code to work around it's watcher limits.
84 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
85 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
86 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
87 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
88 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
89
904.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
91 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
92 already contains some TLS handshake.
93 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
94 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
95 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
96 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
97 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
98
994.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
100 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
101 a negative value, so avoid that.
102 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
103 after the condition is already signalled.
104 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
105 data.
106 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
107 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
108 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
109 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
110 any issues).
111 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
112 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
113 by name (not name or number).
114 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
115 only compiling signal code when necessary.
116 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
117 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
118 said future/alternative API.
119 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
120
1214.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
122 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
123 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
124 (analysed by elmex).
125
1264.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
127 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
128 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
129 for errors after every push_write etc.
130 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
131 platforms.
132
1334.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
134 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
135 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
136 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
137 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
138 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
139 tutorial accordingly.
140 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
141
1424.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
143 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
144 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
145 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
146 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
147 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
148 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
149 in IO::Async.
150
1514.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
152 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
153 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
154 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
155 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
156 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
157 documentation.
158 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
159 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
160 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
161 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
162 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
163 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
164
1654.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
166 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
167 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
168 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
169 this trap.
170 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
171 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
172 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
173 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
174 on_read callbacks.
175 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
176
1774.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
178 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
179 callbacks.
180 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
181 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
182 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
183 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
184 Event::Lib.
185 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
186 to rarely fail.
187
1884.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
189 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
190 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
191 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
192 in AnyEvent->io.
193 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
194 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
195 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
196 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
197 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
198 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
199 portable_socketpair.
200 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
201 YMMV.
202
2034.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
204 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
205 uppercase targets.
206 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
207 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
208 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
209 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
210 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
211 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
212 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
213 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
214 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
3 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS, 215 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
4 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint 216 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
5 in the common case. 217 in the common case.
6 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method. 218 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
7 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's 219 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
8 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available). 220 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
221 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
9 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction 222 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
10 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case 223 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
11 from the constructor. 224 from the constructor.
225 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
226 then fall back to JSON.
227 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
228 and because it was documented that way.
