34.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
4 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
5 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
6 the socket type.
7 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
8
94.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
10 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
11 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
12 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
13 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
14 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
15 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
16
174.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
18 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
19 unless one has been installed already.
20 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
21 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
22 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
23 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
24 client would first wait for some data by the server and
25 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
26 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
27 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
28 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
29 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
30 Rosenstein).
31 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
32 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
33 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
34 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
35 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
36 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
37 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
38 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
39 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
40 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
41 now, more to come, though.
42 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
43
444.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
45 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
46 no trace events.
47 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
48 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
49 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
50 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
51 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
52 Time::HiRes).
53
544.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
55 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
56 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
57
584.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
59 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
60 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
61 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
62 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
63
644.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
65 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
66 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
67 perls without resource leaks or worse).
68
694.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
70 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
71 the callback.
72 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
73 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
74 eol marker.
75 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
76 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
77 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
78
794.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
80 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
81 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
82 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
83 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
84 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
85
864.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
87 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
88 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
89 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
90 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
91 unusable way.
92 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
93 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
94 K. Sharifulin).
95
964.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
97 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
98 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
99 be delayed under some circumstances.
100 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
101 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
102 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
103 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
104 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
105 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
106
1074.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
108 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
109 assumption that all data could be written before read
110 (reported by Jim Razmus).
111
1124.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
113 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
114 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
115 implementation (also affected child watchers).
116 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
117
1184.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
119 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
120 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
121 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
122
1234.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
124 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
125 works.
126
1274.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
128 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
129 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
130 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
131 for AnyEvent::Handle.
132 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
133 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
134
1354.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
136 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
137 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
138 executing the guard block as warnings.
139 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
140
1414.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
142 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
143 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
144 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
145 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
146 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
147 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
148 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
149 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
150 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
151 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
152 enter an endless loop.
153 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
154 busy again after idling.
155 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
156 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
157 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
158 (hopefully).
159 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
160 away any time.
161
1624.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
163 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
164 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
165 - allow more options in on_error.
166
1674.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
168 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
169 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
170 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
171 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
172 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
173 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
174 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
175 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
176 rfc 2782.
177 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
178 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
179 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
180 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
181 could die. this has been fixed.
182 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
183 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
184 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
185 for resolver class.
186 - update version numbers in all modules.
187
1884.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
189 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
190 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
191 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
192 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
193 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
194 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
195 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
196 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
197 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
198 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
199 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
200 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
201 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
202 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
203 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
204 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
205 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
206 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
207 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
208 but EV also works around this).
209 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
210 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
211 vs. callback arguments.
212 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
213
2144.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
215 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
216 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
217 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
218 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
219
2204.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
221 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
222 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
223 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
224 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
225 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
226 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
227 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
228 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
229 sake of perl 5.8.
230 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
231 (still a hack...)
232 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
233 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
234 die handlers.
235
2364.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
237 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
238 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
239 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
240 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
241 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
242 - updated documentation.
243 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
244 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
245 in AnyEvent::Handle.
246 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
247 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
248 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
249 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
250
2514.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
252 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
253 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
254 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
255 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
256 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
257 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
258 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
259 verbatim ip addresses.
260 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
261 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
262 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
263 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
264 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
265 become writable until empty.
266 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
267 returns ENOTCONN.
268 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
269 override.
270 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
271
2723.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
273 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
274 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
275 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
276 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
277 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
278 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
279 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
280 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
281 first and second argument.
282 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
283 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
284 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
285 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
286 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
287
2883.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
289 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
290
2913.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
292 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
293 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
294 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
295 (still subject to change).
296 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
297 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
298 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
299 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
300 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
301 via Coro::AnyEvent.
302
3033.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
304 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
305 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
306 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
307 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
308 the different event loops with each other.
309 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
310 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
311 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
312 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
313 kept alive.
314 - document the race between loading of an event module and
315 child processes exiting.
316 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
317 enough, and darn slow).
318 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
319 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
320 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
321 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
322 faster than Event and Glib :).
323 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
324 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
325 to other event loops where possible.
326
3273.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
328 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
329 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
330 for the same fh/poll combo).
331 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
332 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
333 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
334 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
335 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
336
3373.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
338 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
339 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
340 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
341 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
342 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
343 - do not send the signal to the process group
344 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
345
3463.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
347 - major documentation rework.
348 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
349 - fix the child watcher example.
350
3513.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
352 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
353 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
354 don't get fixed anytime soon).
355 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
356 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
357 such strong limits).
358 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
359 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
360 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
361 any restrictions...).
362 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
363
3643.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
365 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
366 up the Coro implementation in general.
367 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
368 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
369 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
370
3712.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
372 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.

32.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007 3742.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
4 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life 375 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
5 instead of reporting it to any watchers. 376 instead of reporting it to any watchers.

930.2 Thu Dec 1 22:18:49 CET 2005 4640.2 Thu Dec 1 22:18:49 CET 2005
94 - check wether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops. 465 - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
95 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer). 466 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
