14 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
15 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve directly,
16 and ->request and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions
17 such as AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected.
18 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
19 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
20 methods.
21 - DEPRECIATION: please change
22 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
23 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
24 in your programs, for future compatibility.
25 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
26 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
27 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
28 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
29 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
30 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
31 - new function: AnyEvent::postpone.
32 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
33 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
34 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
35 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
36 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
37 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
38 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
39 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
40 and (newly introduced) in POE.
41 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
42 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
43 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
44 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
45 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
46 (reported by Gerald Galster).
47 - resolve AnyEvent::Util::guard at first-use-time, not at load time,
48 for further speed and memory savings when not used.
49 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
50 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
51 do not support blocking waits.
52 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
53 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
54 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
55 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
56 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
57
585.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
59 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
60 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
61 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
62
635.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
64 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
65 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
66 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
67 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
68 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
69 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
70 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
71 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
72 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
73 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
74 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
75 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
76 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
77
785.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
79 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
80 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
81 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
82 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
83 documentation for caveats.
84 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
85 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
86 AnyEvent::Handle).
87 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
88 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
89
905.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
91 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
92 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
93 the availabilty of a default loop!
94 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
95 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
96 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
97 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
98 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
99 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
100 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
101 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
102
1035.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
104 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
105 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
106 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
107 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
108 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
109 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
110 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
111 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
112 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
113 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
114 as part of the perl core.
115 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
116 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
117 minimal perl...).
118
1195.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
120 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
121 actually used in tcp_server.
122 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
123 missing.
124 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
125 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
126 resulting in more informative error messages.
127 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
128 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
129 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
130 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
131 of AnyEvent::TLS.
132 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
133 requested by Ron Isaacson.
134 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
135 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
136 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
137 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
138 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
139
1405.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
141 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
142
1435.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
144 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
145 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
146 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
147 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
148 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
149 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
150 - better/more condvar examples.
151
1525.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
153 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
154 time (found by Andy Grundman).
155
1565.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
157 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
158 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
159 by Bas Denissen).
160 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
161 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
162 EV and Perl backends.
163 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
164 backends.
165 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
166 never documented nor universally supported).
167 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
168 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
169
1705.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
171 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
172 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
173 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
174
1755.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
176 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
177 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
178 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
179 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
180 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
181 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
182 by lucky accident on win32.
183 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
184 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
185 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
186 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
187 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
188 detection and eval.
189 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
190 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
191 (same algorithm as EV).
192 - update unicode idna mapping table.
193
1945.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
195 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
196 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
197 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
198 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
199
2005.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
201 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
202 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
203 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
5 - provide $AE::VERSION. 204 - provide $AE::VERSION.
6 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'". 205 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
7 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
8 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
