1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2
3 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
4 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
5 by lucky accident on win32.
6 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
7 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
8 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
9 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
10 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
11 detection and eval.
12 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
13 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
14 (ame algorithm as EV).
15
165.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
17 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
18 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
19 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
20 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
21
225.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
23 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
24 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
25 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
26 - provide $AE::VERSION.
27 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
28
295.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
30 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
31 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
32 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
33 when passing scalar data to extensions).
34 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
35 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
36 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
37 (John Beppu).
38 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
39 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
40 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
41 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
42
435.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
44 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
45 (spotted by David Friedland).
46 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
47 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
48 unless you rip out everything but the core).
49 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
50 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
51
525.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
53 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
54 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
55 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
56 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
57 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
58
595.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
60 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
61 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
62 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
63 (analysed by elmex).
64
655.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
66 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
67 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
68 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
69 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
70 AnyEvent::Handle.
71 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
72 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
73 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
74 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
75
765.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
77 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
78 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
79 by Michael S. Fischer).
80 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
81 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
82 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
83 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
84 by default.
85 - fix some prototypes.
86 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
87 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
88
895.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
90 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
91 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
92 - port to broken win32 perls.
93
945.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
95 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
96 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
97 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
98 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
99 OSes as well).
100
1015.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
102 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
103 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
104 to reduce dependency on JSON.
105
1065.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
107 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
108 one (was broken since 4.91).
109 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
110 when retrying a tcp_connect.
111 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
112 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
113
1145.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
115 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
116
1175.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
118 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
119 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
120 in AnyEvent::Handle.
121 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
122 settings.
123 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
124 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
125 exporting the probe function).
126 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
127 code to work around it's watcher limits.
128 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
129 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
130 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
131 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
132 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
133
1344.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
135 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
136 already contains some TLS handshake.
137 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
138 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
139 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
140 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
141 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
142
1434.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
144 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
145 a negative value, so avoid that.
146 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
147 after the condition is already signalled.
148 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
149 data.
150 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
151 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
152 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
153 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
154 any issues).
155 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
156 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
157 by name (not name or number).
158 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
159 only compiling signal code when necessary.
160 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
161 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
162 said future/alternative API.
163 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
164
1654.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
166 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
167 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
168 (analysed by elmex).
169
1704.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
171 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
172 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
173 for errors after every push_write etc.
174 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
175 platforms.
176
1774.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
178 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
179 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
180 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
181 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
182 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
183 tutorial accordingly.
184 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.

4 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document 187 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
5 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure. 188 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
6 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib. 189 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
7 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries. 190 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
8 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts. 191 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
9 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness 192 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness

13 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all 196 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
14 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY). 197 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
