35.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
4 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
5 (spotted by David Friedland).
6 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
7 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
8 unless you rip out everything but the core).
9 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
10 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
11
125.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
13 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
14 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
15 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
16 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
17 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
18
195.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
20 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
21 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
22 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
23 (analysed by elmex).
24
255.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
26 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
27 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
28 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
29 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
30 AnyEvent::Handle.
31 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
32 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
33 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
34 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
35
365.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
37 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
38 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
39 by Michael S. Fischer).
40 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
41 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
42 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
43 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
44 by default.
45 - fix some prototypes.
46 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
47 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
48
495.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
50 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
51 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
52 - port to broken win32 perls.
53
545.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
55 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
56 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
57 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
58 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
59 OSes as well).
60
615.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
62 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
63 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
64 to reduce dependency on JSON.
65
665.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
67 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
68 one (was broken since 4.91).
69 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
70 when retrying a tcp_connect.
71 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
72 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
73
745.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
75 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
76
775.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
78 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
79 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
80 in AnyEvent::Handle.
81 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
82 settings.
83 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
84 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
85 exporting the probe function).
86 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
87 code to work around it's watcher limits.
88 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
89 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
90 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
91 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
92 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
93
944.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
95 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
96 already contains some TLS handshake.
97 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
98 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
99 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
100 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
101 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
102
1034.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
104 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
105 a negative value, so avoid that.
106 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
107 after the condition is already signalled.
108 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
109 data.
110 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
111 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
112 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
113 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
114 any issues).
115 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
116 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
117 by name (not name or number).
118 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
119 only compiling signal code when necessary.
120 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
121 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
122 said future/alternative API.
123 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
124
1254.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
126 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
127 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
128 (analysed by elmex).
129
1304.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
131 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
132 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
133 for errors after every push_write etc.
134 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
135 platforms.
136
1374.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
138 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
139 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
140 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
141 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
142 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
143 tutorial accordingly.
144 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
145
1464.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
147 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
148 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
149 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
150 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
151 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
152 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
153 in IO::Async.
154
1554.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
156 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
157 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
158 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
159 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
160 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
161 documentation.
162 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
163 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
164 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
165 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
166 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
167 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
168
1694.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
170 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
171 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
172 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
173 this trap.
174 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
175 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
176 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
177 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
178 on_read callbacks.
179 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
180
1814.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
182 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
183 callbacks.
184 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
185 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
186 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
187 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
188 Event::Lib.
189 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
190 to rarely fail.
191
1924.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
193 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
194 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
195 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
196 in AnyEvent->io.
197 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
198 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
199 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
200 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
201 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
202 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
203 portable_socketpair.
204 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
205 YMMV.
206
2074.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
208 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
209 uppercase targets.
210 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
211 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
212 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
213 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
214 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
215 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
216 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
217 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
218 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
219 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
220 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
221 in the common case.
222 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
223 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
224 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
225 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
226 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
227 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
228 from the constructor.
229 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
230 then fall back to JSON.
231 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
232 and because it was documented that way.
233
2344.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
235 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
236 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
237
2384.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
239 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
240 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
241 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
242 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
243 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
244 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
245 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
246 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
247 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
248
2494.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
250 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
251 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
252 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
253 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
254 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
255
2564.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
257 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
258 and set it on the default resolver.
259 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
260 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
261 when running in tainted mode.
262 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
263
2644.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
265 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
266
2674.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
268 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
269 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
270 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
271 destructors.
272 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
273 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
274 implementation.
275 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
276 for cosmetic reasons.
277
2784.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
279 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
280 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
281 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
282 - sped up Tk timer handling.
283 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
284 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
285 - fix Qt timers without interval.
286 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
287
2884.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
289 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
290 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
291 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
292
2934.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
294 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
295 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
296 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
297 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
298
2994.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
300 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
301 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
302 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
303 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
304 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
305 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
306 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
307 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
308 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
309 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
310 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
311
3124.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
313 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
314 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
315 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
316 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
317 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
318 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
319 backend.
320 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
321
3224.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
323 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
324 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
325 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
326 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
327 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
328 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
329
3304.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
331 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
332 illegal.
333 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
334 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
335 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
336 by Adam Rosenstein).
337 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
338 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
339 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
340
3414.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
342 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
343 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
344 the socket type.
345 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
346
3474.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
3 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method. 348 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
4 - hint about unexpected effects in tls mode. 349 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
5 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays 350 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
6 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :) 351 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
352 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
353 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
7 354
84.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008 3554.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
