14 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx.
15
166.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
17 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
18 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
19 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
20 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
21 to work around.
22 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
23
246.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011
25 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
26 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
27 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
28 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
29 AnyEvent::Socket.
30 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
31 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
32 methods.
33 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
34 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
35 - DEPRECIATION: please change
36 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
37 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
38 in your programs, for future compatibility.
39 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
40 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
41 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
42 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
43 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
44 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
45 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
46 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
47 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
48 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
49 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
50 a debug shell.
51 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
52 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
53 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
54 F</etc/hosts> can be found.
55 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
56 configuration.
57 - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
58 PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
59 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
60 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications $_ by the callback
61 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
62 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
63 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
64 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
65 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
66 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
67 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
68 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
69 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
70 supports /etc/hosts overrides.
71 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
72 and (newly introduced) in POE.
73 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
74 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
75 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
76 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
77 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
78 (reported by Gerald Galster).
79 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
80 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
81 do not support blocking waits.
82 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
83 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
84 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
85 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
86 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
87 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
88 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
89 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
90 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
91 - suppress the idiotic warning inside POE by patching the POE::Kernel
92 run flags instead of asking the user to jump through contortions.
93 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
94 - replace PF_UNSPEC by 0, for good old minix.
95
966.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)
97
985.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
99 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
100 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
101 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
102
1035.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
104 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
105 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
106 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
107 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
108 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
109 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
110 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
111 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
112 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
113 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
114 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
115 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
116 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
117
1185.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
119 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
120 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
121 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
122 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
123 documentation for caveats.
124 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
125 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
126 AnyEvent::Handle).
127 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
128 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
129
1305.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
131 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
132 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
133 the availabilty of a default loop!
134 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
135 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
136 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
137 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
138 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
139 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
140 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
141 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
142
1435.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
144 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
145 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
146 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
147 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
148 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
149 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
150 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
151 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
152 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
153 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
154 as part of the perl core.
155 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
156 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
157 minimal perl...).
158
1595.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
160 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
161 actually used in tcp_server.
162 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
163 missing.
164 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
165 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
166 resulting in more informative error messages.
167 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
168 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
169 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
170 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
171 of AnyEvent::TLS.
172 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
173 requested by Ron Isaacson.
174 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
175 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
176 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
177 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
178 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
179
1805.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
181 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
182
1835.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
184 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
185 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
186 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
187 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
188 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
189 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
190 - better/more condvar examples.
191
1925.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
193 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
194 time (found by Andy Grundman).
195
1965.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
197 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
198 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
199 by Bas Denissen).
200 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
201 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
202 EV and Perl backends.
203 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
204 backends.
205 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
206 never documented nor universally supported).
207 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
208 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
209
2105.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
211 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
212 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
213 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
214
2155.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
216 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
217 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
218 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
219 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
3 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6. 220 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
4 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only 221 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
5 by lucky accident on win32. 222 by lucky accident on win32.
6 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking. 223 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
224 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
225 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
226 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
227 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
228 detection and eval.
229 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
230 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
231 (same algorithm as EV).
232 - update unicode idna mapping table.

9 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives 235 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
10 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and 236 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
11 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack. 237 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
