3TODO: Danga::Socket backend.
4
5TODO: delay tcp_connect
64.901
7 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
8 already contains some TLS handshake.
9 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
10 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
11 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
12 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
13
144.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
15 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
16 a negative value, so avoid that.
17 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
18 after the condition is already signalled.
19 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
20 data.
21 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
22 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
23 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
24 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
25 any issues).
26 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
27 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
28 by name (not name or number).
29 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
30 only compiling signal code when necessary.
31 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
32 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
33 said future/alternative API.
34 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
35
364.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
37 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
38 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
39 (analyzed by elmex).
40
414.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
42 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
43 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
44 for errors after every push_write etc.
45 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
46 platforms.
47
484.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
49 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
50 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
51 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
52 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
53 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
54 tutorial accordingly.
55 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
56
574.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
58 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
59 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
60 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
61 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
62 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
63 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
64 in IO::Async.
65
664.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
67 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
68 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
69 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
70 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
71 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
72 documentation.
73 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
74 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
75 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
76 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
77 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
78 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
79
804.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
81 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
82 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
83 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
84 this trap.
85 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
86 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
87 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
88 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
89 on_read callbacks.
90 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
91
924.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
93 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
94 callbacks.
95 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
96 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
97 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
98 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
99 Event::Lib.
100 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
101 to rarely fail.
102
1034.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
104 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
105 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
106 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
107 in AnyEvent->io.
108 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
109 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
110 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
111 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
112 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
113 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
114 portable_socketpair.
115 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
116 YMMV.
117
1184.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
119 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
120 uppercase targets.
121 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
122 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
123 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
124 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
125 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
126 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
127 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
128 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
129 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
130 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
131 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
132 in the common case.
133 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
134 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
135 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
136 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
137 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
138 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
139 from the constructor.
140 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
141 then fall back to JSON.
142 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
143 and because it was documented that way.
144
1454.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
146 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
147 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
148
1494.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
150 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
151 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
152 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
153 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
154 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
155 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
156 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
157 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
158 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
159
1604.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
161 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
162 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
163 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
164 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
165 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
166
1674.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
168 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
169 and set it on the default resolver.
170 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
171 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
172 when running in tainted mode.
173 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
174
1754.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
176 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
177
1784.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
179 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
180 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
181 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
182 destructors.
183 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
184 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
185 implementation.
186 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
187 for cosmetic reasons.
188
1894.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
190 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
191 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
192 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
193 - sped up Tk timer handling.
194 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
195 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
196 - fix Qt timers without interval.
197 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
198
1994.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
200 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
201 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
202 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
203
2044.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
205 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
206 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
207 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
208 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
209
2104.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
211 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
212 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
213 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
214 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
215 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
216 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
217 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
218 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
219 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
220 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
221 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
222
2234.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
224 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
225 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
226 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
227 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
228 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
229 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
230 backend.
231 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
232
2334.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
234 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
235 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
236 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
237 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
238 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
239 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
240
2414.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
242 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
243 illegal.
244 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
245 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
246 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
247 by Adam Rosenstein).
248 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
249 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
250 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
251
2524.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
253 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
254 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
255 the socket type.
256 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
257
2584.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
259 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
260 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
261 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
262 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
263 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
264 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
265
2664.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
267 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
268 unless one has been installed already.
269 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
270 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
271 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
272 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
273 client would first wait for some data by the server and
274 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
275 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
276 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
277 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
278 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
279 Rosenstein).
280 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
281 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
282 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
283 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
284 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
285 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
286 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
287 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
288 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
289 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
290 now, more to come, though.
291 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
292
2934.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
294 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
295 no trace events.
296 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
297 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
298 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
299 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
300 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
301 Time::HiRes).
302
3034.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
304 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
305 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
306
3074.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
308 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
309 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
310 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
311 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
312
3134.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
314 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
315 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
316 perls without resource leaks or worse).
317
3184.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
319 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
320 the callback.
321 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
322 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
323 eol marker.
324 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
325 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
326 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
327
3284.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
329 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
330 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
331 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
332 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
333 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
334
3354.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
336 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
337 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
338 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
339 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
340 unusable way.
341 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
342 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
343 K. Sharifulin).
344
3454.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
346 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
347 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
348 be delayed under some circumstances.
349 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
350 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
351 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
352 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
353 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
354 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
355
3564.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
357 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
358 assumption that all data could be written before read
359 (reported by Jim Razmus).
360
3614.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
362 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
363 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
364 implementation (also affected child watchers).
365 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
366
3674.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
368 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
369 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
370 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
371
3724.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
373 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
374 works.
375
3764.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
377 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
378 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
379 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
380 for AnyEvent::Handle.
381 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
382 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
383
3844.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
385 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
386 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
387 executing the guard block as warnings.
388 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
389
3904.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
391 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
392 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
393 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
394 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
395 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
396 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
397 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
398 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
399 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
400 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
401 enter an endless loop.
402 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
403 busy again after idling.
404 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
405 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
406 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
407 (hopefully).
408 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
409 away any time.
410
4114.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
412 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
413 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
414 - allow more options in on_error.
415
4164.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
417 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
418 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
419 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
420 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
421 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
422 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
423 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
424 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
425 rfc 2782.
426 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
427 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
428 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
429 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
430 could die. this has been fixed.
431 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
432 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
433 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
434 for resolver class.
435 - update version numbers in all modules.
436
4374.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
438 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
439 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
440 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
441 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
442 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
443 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
444 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
445 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
446 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
447 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
448 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
449 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
450 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
451 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
452 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
453 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
454 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
455 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
456 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
457 but EV also works around this).
458 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
459 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
460 vs. callback arguments.
461 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
462
4634.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
464 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
465 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
466 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
467 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
468

470 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
471 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
472 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
473 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
474 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
475 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
476 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
477 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
478 sake of perl 5.8.
479 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
480 (still a hack...)
481 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
482 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
483 die handlers.
484
4854.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
486 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
487 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
488 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
489 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
490 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
491 - updated documentation.
492 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
493 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
494 in AnyEvent::Handle.
495 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
496 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
497 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
498 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
499
5004.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
501 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
502 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
503 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
504 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
505 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
506 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
507 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
508 verbatim ip addresses.
509 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
510 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
511 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
512 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
513 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
514 become writable until empty.
515 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
516 returns ENOTCONN.
517 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
518 override.
519 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
520
5213.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
522 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
523 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
524 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
525 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
526 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
527 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
528 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
529 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
530 first and second argument.
531 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
532 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
533 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
534 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
535 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
536
5373.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
538 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
539
5403.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
541 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
542 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
543 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
544 (still subject to change).
545 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
546 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
547 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
548 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
549 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
550 via Coro::AnyEvent.
551
5523.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
553 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
554 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
555 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
556 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
557 the different event loops with each other.
558 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
559 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
560 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
561 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
562 kept alive.
563 - document the race between loading of an event module and
564 child processes exiting.
565 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
566 enough, and darn slow).
567 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
568 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
569 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
570 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
571 faster than Event and Glib :).
572 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
573 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
574 to other event loops where possible.
575
5763.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
577 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
578 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
579 for the same fh/poll combo).
580 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
581 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
582 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
583 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
584 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
585
5863.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
587 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
588 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
589 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
590 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
591 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
592 - do not send the signal to the process group
593 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
594
5953.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
596 - major documentation rework.
597 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
598 - fix the child watcher example.
599
6003.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
601 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
602 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
603 don't get fixed anytime soon).
604 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
605 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
606 such strong limits).
607 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
608 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
609 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
610 any restrictions...).
611 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
612
6133.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
614 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
615 up the Coro implementation in general.
616 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
617 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
618 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
