2 2
3TODO: inet_aton does not actually deliver ipv6 addresses
4 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
5 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
6 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
7 when passing scalar data to extensions).
8 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
9 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
10
115.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
12 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
13 (spotted by David Friedland).
14 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
15 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
16 unless you rip out everything but the core).
17 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
18 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
19
205.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
21 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
22 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
23 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
24 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
25 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
26
275.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
28 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
29 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
30 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
31 (analysed by elmex).
32
335.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
34 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
35 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
36 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
37 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
38 AnyEvent::Handle.
39 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
40 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
41 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
42 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
43
445.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
45 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
46 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
47 by Michael S. Fischer).
48 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
49 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
50 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
51 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
52 by default.
53 - fix some prototypes.
54 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
55 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
56
575.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
58 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
59 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
60 - port to broken win32 perls.
61
625.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
63 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
64 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
65 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
66 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
67 OSes as well).
68
695.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
70 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
71 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
72 to reduce dependency on JSON.
73
745.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
75 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
76 one (was broken since 4.91).
77 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
78 when retrying a tcp_connect.
79 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
80 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
81
825.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
83 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
84
855.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
86 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
87 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
88 in AnyEvent::Handle.
89 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
90 settings.
91 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
92 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
93 exporting the probe function).
94 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
95 code to work around it's watcher limits.
96 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
97 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
98 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
99 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
100 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
101
1024.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
103 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
104 already contains some TLS handshake.
105 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
106 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
107 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
108 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
109 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
110
1114.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
112 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
113 a negative value, so avoid that.
114 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
115 after the condition is already signalled.
116 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
117 data.
118 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
119 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
120 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
121 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
122 any issues).
123 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
124 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
125 by name (not name or number).
126 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
127 only compiling signal code when necessary.
128 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
129 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
130 said future/alternative API.
131 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
132
1334.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
134 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
135 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
136 (analysed by elmex).
137
1384.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
139 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
140 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
141 for errors after every push_write etc.
142 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
143 platforms.
144
1454.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
146 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
147 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
148 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
149 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
150 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
151 tutorial accordingly.
152 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
153
1544.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
155 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
156 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
157 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
158 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
159 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
160 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
161 in IO::Async.
162
1634.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
164 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
165 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
166 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
167 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
168 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
169 documentation.
170 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
171 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
172 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
173 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
174 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
175 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
176
1774.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
178 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
179 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
180 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
181 this trap.
182 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
183 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
184 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
185 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
186 on_read callbacks.
3 - ignore possible spurious wake-ups. 187 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
