3 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
4 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
5 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
6 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
7 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
8 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
9 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
10 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
11 rfc 2782.
12 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
13 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
14 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
15 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
16 could die. this has been fixed.
17 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
18 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
19 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
20 for resolver class.
21 - update version numbers in all modules.
22
234.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
24 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
25 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
26 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
27 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
28 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
29 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
30 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
31 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
32 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
33 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
34 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
35 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
36 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
37 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
38 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
39 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
40 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
41 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
42 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
43 but EV also works around this).
44 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
45 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
46 vs. callback arguments.
47 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
48
494.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
50 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
51 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
52 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
53 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
54
554.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
56 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
57 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
58 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
59 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
60 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
61 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
62 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
63 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
64 sake of perl 5.8.
65 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
66 (still a hack...)
67 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
68 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
69 die handlers.
70
714.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
72 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
73 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
74 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
75 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
76 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
77 - updated documentation.
78 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
79 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
80 in AnyEvent::Handle.
81 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
82 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
83 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
84 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
85
864.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
87 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
88 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
89 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
90 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
91 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
92 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
93 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
94 verbatim ip addresses.
95 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
96 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
97 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
98 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
99 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
100 become writable until empty.
101 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
102 returns ENOTCONN.
103 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP brutal
104 override.
105 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
106
1073.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
108 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
109 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
110 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
111 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
112 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
113 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
114 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
115 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
116 first and second argument.
117 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
118 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
119 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
120 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
121 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
122
1233.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
124 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
125
1263.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
127 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful
128 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
129 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
130 (still subject to change).
131 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
132 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
133 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
134 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
135 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
136 via Coro::AnyEvent.
137
1383.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
139 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
140 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
141 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
142 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
143 the different event loops with each other.
144 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
145 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
146 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
147 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
148 kept alive.
149 - document the race between loading of an event module and
150 child processes exiting.
151 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
152 enough, and darn slow).
153 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
154 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
155 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
156 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
157 faster than Event and Glib :).
158 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
159 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
160 to other event loops where possible.
161
1623.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
163 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
164 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
165 for the same fh/poll combo).
166 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
167 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
168 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
169 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
170 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
171
1723.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
173 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
174 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
175 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
176 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
177 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
178 - do not send the signal to the process group
179 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
180
1813.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
182 - major documentation rework.
183 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
184 - fix the child watcher example.
185
1863.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
187 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
188 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
189 don't get fixed anytime soon).
190 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
191 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
192 such strong limits).
193 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
194 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
195 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
196 any restrictions...).
197 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
198
1993.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
200 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
201 up the Coro implementation in general.
202 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
203 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
204 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.

98 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer). 301 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
99 - don't die when some modules are not available. 302 - don't die when some modules are not available.
