11TODO: maybe always try to downgrade in push_write.
12 - AnyEvent::Debug shell can now run coro shell commands, if
13 available.
14 - t/63* tests were wrongly in MANIFEST.
15 - mention IO::AIO as optional dependency.
16
177.04 Thu Nov 15 02:23:58 CET 2012
18 - debugging code left in.
19
207.03 Thu Nov 15 02:16:11 CET 2012
21 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton did not work when dns resolution was
22 used to find the addresses (analyzed and patch by Maxime Soulé).
23 - fix a memory leak in the /etc/hosts lookup code when hosts don't
24 resolve and are not in hosts (analyzed by sten).
25
267.02 Tue Aug 14 04:27:58 CEST 2012
27 - AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd could block indefinitely (analyzed and test
28 program by Yorhel).
29 - verified that AnyEvent::Socket follows RFC5952.
30 - try to parse "ADDR#PORT" in addition to "ADDR PORT".
31
327.01 Sun May 13 01:03:17 CEST 2012
33 - fail with EPROTO in AnyEvent::Handle wqhen TLS is requested but
34 not available, instead of throwing an exception.
35 - use File::Spec to get the tmpdir in t/*, to avoid needless
36 failures on (most, not mine :) windows boxes.
37 - new handle read types: tls_detect and tls_autostart.
38
397.0 Fri Apr 13 06:33:30 CEST 2012
40 - child watchers are broken in POE 1.352 (also many earlier
41 versions) and there seems to be no way to work around it, as POE
42 itself is inherently racy. Document this regression and add a delay
43 in t/68_poe_03_child.t for the time being.
44 - new module AnyEvent::IO, that is a frontend to either a pure-perl
45 synchronous I/O implementation (AnyEvent::IO::Perl), or to the
46 asynchronous I/O extension IO::AIO (AnyEvent::IO::IOAIO).
47 - load /etc/hosts only when DNS has no answer.
48 - stat /etc/hosts on every access and reload it if it changed.
49 - load /etc/hosts via AnyEvent::IO - potentially asynchronous.
50 - fix a buggy croak in the dh parameter reading in AnyEvent::TLS.
51 - AnyEvent::Log log_to_file and log_to_path now use AnyEvent::IO. As
52 a side effect, they now use true appending as opposed to libc
53 appending, and the file might not have been opened when the function
54 returns.
55 - the default logging level was not properly documented in a variety of
56 places, this has hopefully been rectified.
57 - updated uts46data.pl for unicode 6.1.0.
58 - made log messages generated by AnyEvent submodules not
59 include the package name anymore, as it will be logged
60 by default already.
61 - upgrade to the trick used by common-sense 3.5 to work
62 around extra warning torture/breakage under perl 5.15.x.
63 - log messages by anyevent are now ucfirst, are usually full
64 sentences and do no longer include the package name.
65 - the storable read type would sometimes throw an exception instead
66 of causing EBADMSG (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
67 - work around a bug in openssl 1.0.1 which enforces a minimum rsa
68 keysize (reported by Paul Howarth).
69 - documented Rocco fabricating statements about AnyEvent and me.
70
716.14 Tue Jan 31 20:00:24 CET 2012
72 - AnyEvent::Impl::Tk was broken due to a mysterious "die" inside,
73 probably an editing mistake (reported by Darin McBride).
74
756.13 Thu Jan 12 07:27:01 CET 2012
76 - AnyEvent::Util::fork_call checked for POSIX availability in the wrong way,
77 causing it to fail if POSIX wasn't loaded already (analysed by Rock Power).
78 - AnyEvent::Handle::push_read (line => did pass $1 directly, so
79 regex-matching inside the callback would change the parameter, despite
80 $1 being dynamically scoped per-block. this perl bug is now being
81 worked around (testcase by Cindy Wang).
82
836.12 Mon Dec 12 13:21:10 CET 2011
84 - $! was clobbered by subsequent calls in tcp_connect, due to
85 the postpone not saving/restoring it (analyzed by Richard Garnish).
86
876.11 Tue Nov 22 10:36:05 CET 2011
88 - Tk cannot create windows when tainted unless you set a title, so
89 set a dummy title for AnyEvent's dummy mainwindow. How dummy.
90 - escape any nonprintable/nonascii characters when stringifying
91 backtraces.
92 - log the reason loading an interface module fails to load at level debug.
93
946.1 Tue Oct 4 19:44:30 CEST 2011
95 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
96 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
97 to higher log levels to print by default.
98 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
99 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
100 how that module sucks.
101 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
102 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
103 of 127.0.0.1).
104 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
105 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
106 - AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to.
107 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
108 intervals.
109 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
110 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
111 which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
112 delivery.
113 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
114 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
115 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
116 of the context as title.
117 - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback
118 died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging...
119 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
120 to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
121 to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
122 attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
123 AnyEvent.
124
1256.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
126 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
127 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
128 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
129 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
130 to work around.
131 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
132
1336.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011
134 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
135 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
136 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
137 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
138 AnyEvent::Socket.
139 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
140 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
141 methods.
142 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
143 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
144 - DEPRECIATION: please change
145 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
146 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
147 in your programs, for future compatibility.
148 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
149 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
150 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
151 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
152 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
153 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
154 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
155 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
156 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
157 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
158 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
159 a debug shell.
160 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
161 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
162 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
163 /etc/hosts can be found.
164 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
165 configuration.
166 - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
167 PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
168 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
169 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications of $_ by the callback
170 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
171 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
172 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
173 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
174 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
175 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
176 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
177 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
178 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
179 supports /etc/hosts overrides.
180 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
181 and (newly introduced) in POE.
182 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
183 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
184 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
185 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
186 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
187 (reported by Gerald Galster).
188 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
189 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
190 do not support blocking waits.
191 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
192 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
193 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
194 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
195 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
196 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
197 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
198 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
199 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
200 - suppress the idiotic warning inside POE by patching the POE::Kernel
201 run flags instead of asking the user to jump through contortions.
202 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
203 - replace PF_UNSPEC by 0, for good old minix.
204
2056.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)
206
2075.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
208 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
209 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
210 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
211
2125.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
213 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
214 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
215 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
216 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
217 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
218 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
219 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
220 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
221 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
222 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
223 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
224 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
225 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
226
2275.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
228 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
229 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
230 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
231 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
232 documentation for caveats.
233 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
234 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
235 AnyEvent::Handle).
236 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
237 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
238
2395.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
240 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
241 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
242 the availabilty of a default loop!
243 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
244 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
245 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
246 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
247 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
248 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
249 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
250 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
251
2525.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
253 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
254 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
255 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
256 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
257 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
258 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
259 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
260 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
261 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
262 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
263 as part of the perl core.
264 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
265 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
266 minimal perl...).
267
2685.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
269 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
270 actually used in tcp_server.
271 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
272 missing.
273 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
274 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
275 resulting in more informative error messages.
276 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
277 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
278 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
279 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
280 of AnyEvent::TLS.
281 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
282 requested by Ron Isaacson.
283 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
284 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
285 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
286 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
287 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
288
2895.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
290 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
291
2925.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
293 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
294 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
295 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
296 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
297 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
298 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
299 - better/more condvar examples.
300
3015.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
302 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
303 time (found by Andy Grundman).
304
3055.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
306 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
307 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
308 by Bas Denissen).
309 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
310 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
311 EV and Perl backends.
312 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
313 backends.
314 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
315 never documented nor universally supported).
316 - some more memory µ-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
317 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
318
3195.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
320 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
321 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
322 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
323
3245.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
325 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
326 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
327 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
328 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
3 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6. 329 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
330 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
331 by lucky accident on win32.
332 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
333 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
334 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
335 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
336 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
337 detection and eval.
338 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
339 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
340 (same algorithm as EV).
341 - update unicode idna mapping table.
4 342
55.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010 3435.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
6 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives 344 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
7 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and 345 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
8 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack. 346 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
