1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2 2
3 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
4 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
5 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
6 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
7 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
8 by lucky accident on win32.
9 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
10 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
11 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
12 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
13 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
14 detection and eval.
15 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
16 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
17 (ame algorithm as EV).
18
195.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
20 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
21 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
22 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
23 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
24
255.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
26 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
27 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
28 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
29 - provide $AE::VERSION.
30 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
31
325.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
33 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
34 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
35 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
36 when passing scalar data to extensions).
37 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
38 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
39 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
40 (John Beppu).
41 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
42 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
43 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
44 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
45
465.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
47 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
48 (spotted by David Friedland).
49 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
50 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
51 unless you rip out everything but the core).
52 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
53 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
54
555.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
56 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
57 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
58 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
59 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
60 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
61
625.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
63 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
64 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
65 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
66 (analysed by elmex).
67
685.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
69 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
70 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
71 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
72 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
73 AnyEvent::Handle.
74 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
75 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
76 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
77 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
78
795.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
80 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
81 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
82 by Michael S. Fischer).
83 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
84 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
85 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
86 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
87 by default.
88 - fix some prototypes.
89 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
90 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
91
925.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
93 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
94 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
95 - port to broken win32 perls.
96
975.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
98 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
99 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
100 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
101 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
102 OSes as well).
103
1045.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
105 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
106 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
107 to reduce dependency on JSON.
108
1095.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
110 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
111 one (was broken since 4.91).
112 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
113 when retrying a tcp_connect.
114 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
115 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
116
1175.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
118 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
119
1205.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
121 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
122 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
123 in AnyEvent::Handle.
124 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
125 settings.
126 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
127 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
128 exporting the probe function).
129 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
130 code to work around it's watcher limits.
131 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
132 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
133 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
134 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
135 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
136
1374.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
138 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
139 already contains some TLS handshake.
140 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
141 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
142 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
143 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
144 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
145
1464.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
147 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
148 a negative value, so avoid that.
149 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
150 after the condition is already signalled.
151 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
152 data.
153 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
154 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
155 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
156 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
157 any issues).
158 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
159 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
160 by name (not name or number).
161 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
162 only compiling signal code when necessary.
163 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
164 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
165 said future/alternative API.
166 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
167
1684.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
169 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
170 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
171 (analysed by elmex).
172
1734.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
174 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
175 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
176 for errors after every push_write etc.
177 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
178 platforms.
179
1804.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
181 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
182 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
183 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
184 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
185 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
186 tutorial accordingly.
187 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
188
1894.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
190 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
191 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
192 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
193 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
194 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
195 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
196 in IO::Async.
197
1984.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
199 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
200 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
201 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
202 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
203 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
204 documentation.
205 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
206 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
207 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
208 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
209 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
210 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
211
2124.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
213 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
214 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
215 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
216 this trap.
217 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
218 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
219 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
220 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
221 on_read callbacks.
222 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
223
2244.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
225 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
226 callbacks.
227 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
228 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
229 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
230 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
231 Event::Lib.
232 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
233 to rarely fail.
234
2354.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
236 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
237 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
238 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
239 in AnyEvent->io.
240 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
241 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
242 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
243 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
244 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
245 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
246 portable_socketpair.
247 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
248 YMMV.
249
2504.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
251 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
252 uppercase targets.
253 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
254 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
255 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
256 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
257 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
258 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
259 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
260 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
261 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
262 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
263 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
264 in the common case.
265 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
266 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
267 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
268 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
269 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
270 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
271 from the constructor.
272 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
273 then fall back to JSON.
274 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
275 and because it was documented that way.
276
2774.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
278 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
279 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
280
2814.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
282 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
283 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
284 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
285 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
286 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
287 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
288 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
289 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
290 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
291
2924.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
293 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
294 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
295 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
296 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
297 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
298
2994.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
300 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
301 and set it on the default resolver.
302 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
303 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
304 when running in tainted mode.
305 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
306
3074.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
308 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
309
3104.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
311 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
312 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
313 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
314 destructors.
315 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
316 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
317 implementation.
318 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
319 for cosmetic reasons.
320
3214.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
322 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
323 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
324 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
325 - sped up Tk timer handling.
326 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
327 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
328 - fix Qt timers without interval.
329 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
330
3314.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
332 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
333 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
334 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
335
3364.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
337 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
338 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
339 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
340 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
341
3424.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
343 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
344 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
345 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
346 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
347 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
348 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
349 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
350 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
351 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
352 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
353 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
354
3554.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
356 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
357 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
358 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
359 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
360 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
361 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
362 backend.
363 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
364
3654.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
366 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
367 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
368 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
369 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
370 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
371 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
372
3734.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
374 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
375 illegal.
376 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
377 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
378 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
379 by Adam Rosenstein).
380 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
381 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
382 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
383
3844.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
385 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
386 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
387 the socket type.
388 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
389
3904.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
391 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
392 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
393 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
394 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
395 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
396 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
397
3984.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
399 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
400 unless one has been installed already.
401 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
402 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
403 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
404 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
405 client would first wait for some data by the server and
406 otherwise hang. (reported and analysed in an absolutely
407 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
408 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
409 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
410 (reported and analysed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
411 Rosenstein).
412 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
413 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
414 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
415 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
416 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
417 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
418 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
419 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
420 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
421 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
422 now, more to come, though.
423 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
424
4254.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
3 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported, 426 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
4 no trace events. 427 no trace events.
428 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
5 - perl backend will not use POSIX::times as monotonic clock 429 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
6 when available and the monotonic clock option is not. 430 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
7 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not 431 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
8 provide sub-second accuracy (all supported perl versions have 432 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
9 Time::HiRes). 433 Time::HiRes).

114.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008 4354.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
12 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang. 436 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
13 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments. 437 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
