3TODO: use idna stuff in socket/dns
4 - provide $AE::VERSION.
5 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
6 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
7 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
8
95.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
10 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
11 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
12 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
13 when passing scalar data to extensions).
14 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
15 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
16 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
17 (John Beppu).
18 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
19 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
20 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
21 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
22
235.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
24 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
25 (spotted by David Friedland).
26 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
27 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
28 unless you rip out everything but the core).
29 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
30 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
31
325.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
33 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
34 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
35 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
36 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
37 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
38
395.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
40 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
41 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
42 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
43 (analysed by elmex).
44
455.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
46 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
47 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
48 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
49 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
50 AnyEvent::Handle.
51 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
52 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
53 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
54 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
55
565.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
57 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
58 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
59 by Michael S. Fischer).
60 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
61 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
62 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
63 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
64 by default.
65 - fix some prototypes.
66 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
67 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
68
695.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
70 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
71 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
72 - port to broken win32 perls.
73
745.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
75 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
76 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
77 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
78 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
79 OSes as well).
80
815.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
82 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
83 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
84 to reduce dependency on JSON.
85
865.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
87 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
88 one (was broken since 4.91).
89 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
90 when retrying a tcp_connect.
91 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
92 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
93
945.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
95 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
96
975.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
98 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
99 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
100 in AnyEvent::Handle.
101 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
102 settings.
103 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
104 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
105 exporting the probe function).
106 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
107 code to work around it's watcher limits.
108 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
109 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
110 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
111 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
112 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
113
1144.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
115 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
116 already contains some TLS handshake.
117 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
118 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
119 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
120 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
121 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
122
1234.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
124 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
125 a negative value, so avoid that.
126 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
127 after the condition is already signalled.
128 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
129 data.
130 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
131 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
132 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
133 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
134 any issues).
135 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
136 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
137 by name (not name or number).
138 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
139 only compiling signal code when necessary.
140 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
141 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
142 said future/alternative API.
143 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
144
1454.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
146 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
147 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
148 (analysed by elmex).
149
1504.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
151 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
152 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
153 for errors after every push_write etc.
154 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
155 platforms.
156
1574.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
158 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
159 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
160 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
161 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
162 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
163 tutorial accordingly.
164 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
165
1664.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
167 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
168 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
169 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
170 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
171 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
172 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
173 in IO::Async.
174
1754.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
176 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
177 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
178 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
179 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
180 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
181 documentation.
182 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
183 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
184 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
185 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
186 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
187 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
188
1894.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
190 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
191 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
192 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
193 this trap.
194 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
195 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
196 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
197 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
198 on_read callbacks.
199 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
200
2014.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
202 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
203 callbacks.
204 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
205 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
206 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
207 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
208 Event::Lib.
209 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
210 to rarely fail.
211
2124.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
213 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
214 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
215 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
216 in AnyEvent->io.
217 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
218 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
219 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
220 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
221 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
222 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
223 portable_socketpair.
224 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
225 YMMV.
226
2274.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
228 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
229 uppercase targets.
230 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
231 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
232 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
233 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
234 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
235 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
236 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
237 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
238 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
239 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
240 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
241 in the common case.
242 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
243 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
244 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
245 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
246 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
247 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
248 from the constructor.
249 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
250 then fall back to JSON.
251 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
252 and because it was documented that way.
253
2544.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
255 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
256 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
257
2584.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
259 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
260 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
261 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
262 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
263 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
264 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
265 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
266 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
267 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
268
2694.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
270 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
271 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
272 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
273 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
274 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
275
2764.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
277 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
278 and set it on the default resolver.
279 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
280 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
281 when running in tainted mode.
282 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
283
2844.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
285 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
286
2874.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
288 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
289 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
290 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
291 destructors.
292 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
293 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
294 implementation.
295 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
296 for cosmetic reasons.
297
2984.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
299 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
300 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
301 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
302 - sped up Tk timer handling.
303 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
304 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
305 - fix Qt timers without interval.
306 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
307
3084.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
309 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
310 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
311 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
312
3134.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
314 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
315 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
316 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
317 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
318
3194.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
320 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
321 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
322 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
323 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
324 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
325 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
326 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
327 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
328 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
329 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
330 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
331
3324.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
333 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
334 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
335 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
336 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
337 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
338 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
339 backend.
340 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
341
3424.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
343 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
344 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
345 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
346 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
347 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
348 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
349
3504.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
351 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
352 illegal.
353 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
354 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
355 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
356 by Adam Rosenstein).
357 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
358 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
359 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
360
3614.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
362 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
363 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
364 the socket type.
365 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
366
3674.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
368 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
369 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
370 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
371 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
372 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
373 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
374
3754.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
376 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
377 unless one has been installed already.
378 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
379 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
380 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
381 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
382 client would first wait for some data by the server and
383 otherwise hang. (reported and analysed in an absolutely
384 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
385 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
386 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
387 (reported and analysed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
388 Rosenstein).
389 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
390 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
391 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
392 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
393 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
394 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
395 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
396 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
397 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
398 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
399 now, more to come, though.
400 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
401
4024.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
3 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported, 403 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
4 no trace events. 404 no trace events.
405 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
5 - perl backend will not use POSIX::times as monotonic clock 406 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
6 when available and the monotonic clock option is not. 407 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
7 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not 408 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
8 provide sub-second accuracy (all supported perl versions have 409 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
9 Time::HiRes). 410 Time::HiRes).

114.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008 4124.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
12 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang. 413 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
13 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments. 414 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
