2 2
3 - provide $AE::VERSION.
4 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
5
65.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
7 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
8 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
9 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
10 when passing scalar data to extensions).
11 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
12 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
13 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
14 (John Beppu).
15 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
16 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
17 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
18 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
19
205.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
21 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
22 (spotted by David Friedland).
23 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
24 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
25 unless you rip out everything but the core).
26 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
27 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
28
295.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
30 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
31 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
32 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
33 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
34 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
35
365.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
37 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
38 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
39 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
40 (analysed by elmex).
41
425.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
43 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
44 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
45 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
46 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
47 AnyEvent::Handle.
48 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
49 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
50 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
51 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
52
535.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
54 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
55 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
56 by Michael S. Fischer).
57 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
58 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
59 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
60 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
61 by default.
62 - fix some prototypes.
63 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
64 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
65
665.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
67 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
68 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
69 - port to broken win32 perls.
70
715.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
72 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
73 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
74 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
75 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
76 OSes as well).
77
785.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
79 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
80 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
81 to reduce dependency on JSON.
82
835.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
84 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
85 one (was broken since 4.91).
86 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
87 when retrying a tcp_connect.
88 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
89 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
90
915.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
92 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
93
945.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
95 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
96 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
97 in AnyEvent::Handle.
98 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
99 settings.
100 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
101 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
102 exporting the probe function).
103 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
104 code to work around it's watcher limits.
105 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
106 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
107 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
108 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
109 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
110
1114.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
112 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
113 already contains some TLS handshake.
114 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
115 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
116 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
117 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
118 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
119
1204.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
121 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
122 a negative value, so avoid that.
123 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
124 after the condition is already signalled.
125 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
126 data.
127 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
128 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
129 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
130 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
131 any issues).
132 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
133 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
134 by name (not name or number).
135 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
136 only compiling signal code when necessary.
137 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
138 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
139 said future/alternative API.
140 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
141
1424.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
143 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
144 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
145 (analysed by elmex).
146
1474.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
148 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
149 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
150 for errors after every push_write etc.
151 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
152 platforms.
153
1544.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
155 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
156 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
157 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
158 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
159 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
160 tutorial accordingly.
161 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
162
1634.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
164 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
165 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
166 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
167 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
168 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
169 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
170 in IO::Async.
171
1724.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
173 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
174 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
175 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
176 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
177 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
178 documentation.
179 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
180 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
181 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
182 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
183 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
184 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
185
1864.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
187 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
188 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
189 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
190 this trap.
191 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
192 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
193 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
194 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
195 on_read callbacks.
196 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
197
1984.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
199 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
200 callbacks.
201 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
202 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
203 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
204 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
205 Event::Lib.
206 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
207 to rarely fail.
208
2094.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
210 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
211 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
212 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
213 in AnyEvent->io.
214 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
215 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
216 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
217 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
218 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
219 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
220 portable_socketpair.
221 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
222 YMMV.
223
2244.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
225 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
226 uppercase targets.
227 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
228 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
229 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
230 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
231 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
232 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
233 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
234 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
235 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
3 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS, 236 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
4 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint 237 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
5 in the common case. 238 in the common case.
239 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
240 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
241 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
242 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
6 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction 243 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
7 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case 244 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
8 from the constructor. 245 from the constructor.
246 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
247 then fall back to JSON.
248 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
249 and because it was documented that way.
250
2514.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
252 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
253 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
