3TODO: document TCP_*** constants
4TODO: catch AE::xxx for anyevent strict and anyevent debug
5TODO: anyevent::trace? or debug tracing all watchers?
6TODO: anyevent strict checking for $_ changes?
7
8TODO: redesign Impl
9TODO: make ae::run mroe robust against eintr, find out which env still causes these issues Andrew Suffield
10TODO: IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer. Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
11 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
12 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve directly,
13 and ->request and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions
14 such as AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected.
15 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
16 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
17 methods.
18 - DEPRECIATION: please change
19 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
20 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
21 in your programs, for future compatibility.
22 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
23 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
24 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
25 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
26 - new function: AnyEvent::postpone.
27 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
28 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
29 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
30 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
31 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
32 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
33 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
34 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
35 and (newly introduced) in POE.
36 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
37 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
38 - add support for (currently third-party) AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK.
39 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
40 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
41 (reported by Gerald Galster).
42 - resolve AnyEvent::Util::guard at first-use-time, not at load time,
43 for further speed and memory savings when not used.
44 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
45 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
46 do not support blocking waits.
47 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
48 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
49
505.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
51 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
52 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
53 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
54
555.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
56 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
57 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
58 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
59 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
60 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
61 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
62 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
63 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
64 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
65 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
66 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
67 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
68 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
69
705.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
71 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
72 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
73 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
74 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
75 documentation for caveats.
76 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
77 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
78 AnyEvent::Handle).
79 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
80 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
81
825.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
83 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
84 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
85 the availabilty of a default loop!
86 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
87 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
88 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
89 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
90 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
91 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
92 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
93 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
94
955.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
96 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
97 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
98 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
99 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
100 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
101 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
102 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
103 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
104 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
105 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
106 as part of the perl core.
107 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
108 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
109 minimal perl...).
110
1115.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
112 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
113 actually used in tcp_server.
114 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
115 missing.
116 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
117 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
118 resulting in more informative error messages.
119 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
120 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
121 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
122 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
123 of AnyEvent::TLS.
124 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
125 requested by Ron Isaacson.
126 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
127 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
128 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
129 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
130 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
131
1325.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
133 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
134
1355.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
136 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
137 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
138 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
139 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
140 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
141 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
142 - better/more condvar examples.
143
1445.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
145 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
146 time (found by Andy Grundman).
147
1485.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
149 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
150 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
151 by Bas Denissen).
152 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
153 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
154 EV and Perl backends.
155 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
156 backends.
157 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
158 never documented nor universally supported).
159 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
160 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
161
1625.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
163 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
164 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
165 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
166
1675.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
168 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
169 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
170 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
171 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
172 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
173 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
174 by lucky accident on win32.
175 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
176 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
177 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
178 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
179 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
180 detection and eval.
181 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
182 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
183 (same algorithm as EV).
184 - update unicode idna mapping table.
185
1865.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
187 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
188 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
189 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
190 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.

35.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009 1925.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
4 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect. 193 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
5 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep, 194 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
6 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util. 195 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.

383 client would first wait for some data by the server and 572 client would first wait for some data by the server and
384 otherwise hang. (reported and analysed in an absolutely 573 otherwise hang. (reported and analysed in an absolutely
385 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein). 574 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
