1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2 2
3 - provide $AE::VERSION.
4 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
5 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep
6 and idn_to_ascii operations in AnyEvent::Util.
7
85.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
9 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
10 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
11 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
12 when passing scalar data to extensions).
13 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
14 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
15 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
16 (John Beppu).
17 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
18 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
19 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
20 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
21
225.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
23 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
24 (spotted by David Friedland).
25 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
26 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
27 unless you rip out everything but the core).
28 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
29 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
30
315.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
32 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
33 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
34 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
35 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
36 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
37
385.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
39 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
40 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
41 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
42 (analysed by elmex).
43
445.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
45 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
46 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
47 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
48 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
49 AnyEvent::Handle.
50 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
51 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
52 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
53 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
54
555.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
56 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
57 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
58 by Michael S. Fischer).
59 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
60 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
61 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
62 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
63 by default.
64 - fix some prototypes.
65 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
66 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
67
685.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
69 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
70 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
71 - port to broken win32 perls.
72
735.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
74 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
75 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
76 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
77 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
78 OSes as well).
79
805.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
81 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
82 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
83 to reduce dependency on JSON.
84
855.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
86 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
87 one (was broken since 4.91).
88 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
89 when retrying a tcp_connect.
90 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
91 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
92
935.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
94 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
95
965.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
97 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
98 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
99 in AnyEvent::Handle.
100 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
101 settings.
102 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
103 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
104 exporting the probe function).
105 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
106 code to work around it's watcher limits.
107 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
108 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
109 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
110 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
111 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
112
1134.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
114 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
115 already contains some TLS handshake.
116 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
117 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
118 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
119 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
120 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
121
1224.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
123 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
124 a negative value, so avoid that.
125 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
126 after the condition is already signalled.
127 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
128 data.
129 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
130 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
131 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
132 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
133 any issues).
134 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
135 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
136 by name (not name or number).
137 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
138 only compiling signal code when necessary.
139 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
140 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
141 said future/alternative API.
142 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
143
1444.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
145 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
146 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
147 (analysed by elmex).
148
1494.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
150 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
151 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
152 for errors after every push_write etc.
153 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
154 platforms.
155
1564.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
157 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
158 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
159 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
160 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
161 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
162 tutorial accordingly.
163 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
164
1654.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
166 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
167 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
168 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
169 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
170 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
171 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
172 in IO::Async.
173
1744.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
175 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
176 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
177 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
178 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
179 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
180 documentation.
181 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
182 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
183 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
184 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
185 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
186 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
187
1884.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
189 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
190 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
191 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
192 this trap.
193 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
194 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
195 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
196 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
197 on_read callbacks.
198 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
199
2004.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
201 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
202 callbacks.
203 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
204 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
205 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
206 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
207 Event::Lib.
208 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
209 to rarely fail.
210
2114.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
212 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
213 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
214 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
215 in AnyEvent->io.
216 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
217 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
218 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
219 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
220 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
221 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
222 portable_socketpair.
223 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
224 YMMV.
225
2264.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
227 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
228 uppercase targets.
229 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
230 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
231 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
232 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
233 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
234 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
235 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
236 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
237 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
238 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
239 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
240 in the common case.
241 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
242 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
243 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
244 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
245 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
246 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
247 from the constructor.
248 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
249 then fall back to JSON.
250 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
251 and because it was documented that way.
252
2534.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
254 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
255 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
256
2574.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
258 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
259 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
260 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
261 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
262 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
263 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
264 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
265 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
266 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
267
2684.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
269 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
270 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
271 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
272 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
273 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
274
2754.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
276 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
277 and set it on the default resolver.
278 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
279 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
280 when running in tainted mode.
281 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
282
2834.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
284 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
285
2864.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
287 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
288 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
289 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
290 destructors.
291 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
292 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
293 implementation.
294 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
295 for cosmetic reasons.
296
2974.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
298 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
299 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
300 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
301 - sped up Tk timer handling.
302 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
303 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
304 - fix Qt timers without interval.
305 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
306
3074.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
308 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
309 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
310 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
311
3124.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
313 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
314 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
315 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
316 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
317
3184.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
319 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
320 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
321 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
322 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
323 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
324 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
325 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
326 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
327 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
328 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
329 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
330
3314.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
332 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
333 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
334 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
3 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors. 335 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
4 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß). 336 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
5 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl 337 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
6 backend. 338 backend.
339 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
