12 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
13 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve directly,
14 and ->request and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions
15 such as AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither
16 is AnyEvent::Socket.
17 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
18 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
19 methods.
20 - DEPRECIATION: please change
21 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
22 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
23 in your programs, for future compatibility.
24 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
25 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
26 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
27 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
28 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
29 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
30 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
31 - new function: AnyEvent::postpone.
32 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
33 a debug shell.
34 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
35 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
36 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
37 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
38 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
39 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
40 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
41 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
42 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
43 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
44 and (newly introduced) in POE.
45 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
46 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
47 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
48 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
49 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
50 (reported by Gerald Galster).
51 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
52 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
53 do not support blocking waits.
54 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
55 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
56 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
57 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
58 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
59 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
60
615.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
62 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
63 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
64 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
65
665.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
67 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
68 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
69 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
70 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
71 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
72 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
73 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
74 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
75 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
76 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
77 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
78 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
79 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
80
815.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
82 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
83 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
84 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
85 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
86 documentation for caveats.
87 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
88 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
89 AnyEvent::Handle).
90 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
91 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
92
935.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
94 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
95 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
96 the availabilty of a default loop!
97 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
98 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
99 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
100 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
101 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
102 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
103 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
104 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
105
1065.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
107 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
108 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
109 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
110 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
111 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
112 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
113 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
114 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
115 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
116 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
117 as part of the perl core.
118 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
119 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
120 minimal perl...).
121
1225.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
123 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
124 actually used in tcp_server.
125 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
126 missing.
127 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
128 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
129 resulting in more informative error messages.
130 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
131 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
132 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
133 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
134 of AnyEvent::TLS.
135 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
136 requested by Ron Isaacson.
137 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
138 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
139 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
140 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
141 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
142
1435.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
144 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
145
1465.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
147 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
148 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
149 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
150 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
151 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
152 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
153 - better/more condvar examples.
154
1555.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
156 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
157 time (found by Andy Grundman).
158
1595.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
160 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
161 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
162 by Bas Denissen).
163 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
164 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
165 EV and Perl backends.
166 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
167 backends.
168 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
169 never documented nor universally supported).
170 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
171 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
172
1735.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
174 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
175 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
176 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
177
1785.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
179 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
180 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
181 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
182 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
183 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
184 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
185 by lucky accident on win32.
186 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
187 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
188 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
189 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
190 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
191 detection and eval.
192 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
193 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
194 (same algorithm as EV).
195 - update unicode idna mapping table.
196
1975.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
198 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
199 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
200 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
201 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
202
2035.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
204 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
205 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
206 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
207 - provide $AE::VERSION.
208 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
209

5 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly. 212 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
6 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info 213 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info

11 (John Beppu). 218 (John Beppu).
219 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
12 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure 220 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
13 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all 221 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
14 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config. 222 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
