1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2 2
3 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
4 (spotted by David Friedland).
5 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
6 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
7 unless you rip out everything but the core).
8
95.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
10 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
11 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
12 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
13 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
14 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
15
165.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
17 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
18 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
19 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
20 (analysed by elmex).
21
225.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
23 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
24 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
25 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
26 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
27 AnyEvent::Handle.
28 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
29 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
30 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
31 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
32
335.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
34 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
35 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
36 by Michael S. Fischer).
37 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
38 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
39 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
40 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
41 by default.
42 - fix some prototypes.
43 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
44 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
45
465.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
47 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
48 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
49 - port to broken win32 perls.
50
515.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
52 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
53 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
54 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
55 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
56 OSes as well).
57
585.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
59 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
60 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
61 to reduce dependency on JSON.
62
635.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
64 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
65 one (was broken since 4.91).
66 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
67 when retrying a tcp_connect.
68 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
69 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
70
715.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
72 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
73
745.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
75 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
76 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
77 in AnyEvent::Handle.
78 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
79 settings.
80 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
81 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
82 exporting the probe function).
83 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
84 code to work around it's watcher limits.
85 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
86 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
87 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
88 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
89 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
90
914.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
92 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
93 already contains some TLS handshake.
94 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
95 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
96 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
97 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
98 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
99
1004.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
101 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
102 a negative value, so avoid that.
103 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
104 after the condition is already signalled.
105 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
106 data.
107 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
108 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
109 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
110 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
111 any issues).
112 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
113 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
114 by name (not name or number).
115 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
116 only compiling signal code when necessary.
117 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
118 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
119 said future/alternative API.
120 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
121
1224.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
123 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
124 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
125 (analysed by elmex).
126
1274.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
128 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
129 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
130 for errors after every push_write etc.
131 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
132 platforms.
133
1344.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
135 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
136 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
137 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
138 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
139 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
140 tutorial accordingly.
141 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
142
1434.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
144 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
145 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
146 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
147 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
148 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
149 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
150 in IO::Async.
151
1524.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
153 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
154 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
155 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
156 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
157 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
158 documentation.
159 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
160 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
161 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
162 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
163 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
164 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
165
1664.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
167 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
168 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
169 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
170 this trap.
171 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
172 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
173 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
174 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
175 on_read callbacks.
176 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
177
1784.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
179 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
180 callbacks.
181 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
182 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
183 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
184 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
185 Event::Lib.
186 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
187 to rarely fail.
188
1894.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
190 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
191 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
192 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
193 in AnyEvent->io.
194 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
195 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
196 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
197 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
198 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
199 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
200 portable_socketpair.
201 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
202 YMMV.
203
2044.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
205 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
206 uppercase targets.
207 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
208 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
209 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
210 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
211 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
212 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
213 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
214 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
215 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
216 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
217 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
218 in the common case.
219 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
220 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
221 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
222 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
223 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
224 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
225 from the constructor.
226 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
227 then fall back to JSON.
228 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
229 and because it was documented that way.
230
2314.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
232 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
233 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
234
2354.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
236 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
237 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
238 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
239 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
240 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
241 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
242 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
243 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
244 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
245
2464.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
247 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
248 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
249 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
250 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
251 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
252
2534.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
254 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
255 and set it on the default resolver.
256 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
257 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
258 when running in tainted mode.
259 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
260
2614.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
262 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
263
2644.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
265 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
266 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
267 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
268 destructors.
269 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
270 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
271 implementation.
272 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
273 for cosmetic reasons.
274
2754.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
276 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
277 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
278 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
279 - sped up Tk timer handling.
280 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
281 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
282 - fix Qt timers without interval.
283 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
284
2854.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
286 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
287 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
288 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
289
2904.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
291 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
292 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
293 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
294 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
295
2964.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
297 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
298 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
299 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
300 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
301 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
302 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
303 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
304 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
305 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
306 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
307 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
308
3094.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
310 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
311 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
312 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
313 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
314 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
315 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
316 backend.
317 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
318
3194.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
320 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
321 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
322 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
323 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
324 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
325 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
326
3274.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
328 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
329 illegal.
330 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
331 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
332 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
333 by Adam Rosenstein).
334 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
335 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
336 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
337
3384.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
339 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
340 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
341 the socket type.
342 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
343
3444.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
3 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method. 345 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
4 - hint about unexpected effects in tls mode. 346 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
5 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays 347 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
6 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :) 348 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
7 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug. 349 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
8 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free. 350 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
9 351
13 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough 355 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
14 (patch by Adam Rosenstein). 356 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
15 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle: 357 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
16 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the 358 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
17 client would first wait for some data by the server and 359 client would first wait for some data by the server and
18 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely 360 otherwise hang. (reported and analysed in an absolutely
19 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein). 361 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
20 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated 362 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
21 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state. 363 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.

23 Rosenstein). 365 Rosenstein).
24 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context 366 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
25 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) - 367 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
26 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever. 368 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
27 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode. 369 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
