3TODO: implement condvars... 35.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
4 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
5 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
6 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
7 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
8 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
9 by lucky accident on win32.
10 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
11 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
12 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
13 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
14 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
15 detection and eval.
16 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
17 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
18 (ame algorithm as EV).
19
205.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
21 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
22 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
23 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
24 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
25
265.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
27 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
28 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
29 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
30 - provide $AE::VERSION.
31 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
32
335.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
34 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
35 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
36 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
37 when passing scalar data to extensions).
38 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
39 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
40 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
41 (John Beppu).
42 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
43 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
44 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
45 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
46
475.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
48 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
49 (spotted by David Friedland).
50 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
51 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
52 unless you rip out everything but the core).
53 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
54 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
55
565.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
57 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
58 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
59 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
60 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
61 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
62
635.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
64 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
65 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
66 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
67 (analysed by elmex).
68
695.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
70 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
71 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
72 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
73 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
74 AnyEvent::Handle.
75 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
76 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
77 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
78 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
79
805.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
81 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
82 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
83 by Michael S. Fischer).
84 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
85 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
86 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
87 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
88 by default.
89 - fix some prototypes.
90 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
91 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
92
935.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
94 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
95 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
96 - port to broken win32 perls.
97
985.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
99 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
100 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
101 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
102 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
103 OSes as well).
104
1055.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
106 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
107 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
108 to reduce dependency on JSON.
109
1105.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
111 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
112 one (was broken since 4.91).
113 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
114 when retrying a tcp_connect.
115 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
116 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
117
1185.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
119 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
120
1215.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
122 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
123 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
124 in AnyEvent::Handle.
125 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
126 settings.
127 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
128 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
129 exporting the probe function).
130 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
131 code to work around it's watcher limits.
132 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
133 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
134 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
135 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
136 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
137
1384.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
139 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
140 already contains some TLS handshake.
141 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
142 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
143 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
144 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
145 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
146
1474.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
148 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
149 a negative value, so avoid that.
150 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
151 after the condition is already signalled.
152 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
153 data.
154 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
155 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
156 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
157 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
158 any issues).
159 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
160 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
161 by name (not name or number).
162 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
163 only compiling signal code when necessary.
164 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
165 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
166 said future/alternative API.
167 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
168
1694.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
170 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
171 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
172 (analysed by elmex).
173
1744.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
175 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
176 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
177 for errors after every push_write etc.
178 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
179 platforms.
180
1814.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
182 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
183 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
184 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
185 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
186 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
187 tutorial accordingly.
188 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
189
1904.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
191 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
192 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
193 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
194 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
195 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
196 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
197 in IO::Async.
198
1994.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
200 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
201 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
202 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
203 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
204 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
205 documentation.
206 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
207 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
208 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
209 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
210 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
211 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
212
2134.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
214 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
215 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
216 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
217 this trap.
218 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
219 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
220 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
221 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
222 on_read callbacks.
223 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
224
2254.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
226 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
227 callbacks.
228 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
229 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
230 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
231 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
232 Event::Lib.
233 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
234 to rarely fail.
235
2364.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
237 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
238 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
239 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
240 in AnyEvent->io.
241 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
242 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
243 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
244 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
245 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
246 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
247 portable_socketpair.
248 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
249 YMMV.
250
2514.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
252 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
253 uppercase targets.
254 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
255 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
256 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
257 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
258 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
259 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
260 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
261 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
262 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
263 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
264 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
265 in the common case.
266 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
267 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
268 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
269 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
270 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
271 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
272 from the constructor.
273 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
274 then fall back to JSON.
275 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
276 and because it was documented that way.
277
2784.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
279 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
280 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
281
2824.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
283 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
284 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
285 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
286 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
287 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
288 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
289 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
290 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
291 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
292
2934.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
294 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
295 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
296 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
297 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
298 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
299
3004.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
301 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
302 and set it on the default resolver.
303 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
304 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
305 when running in tainted mode.
306 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
307
3084.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
309 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
310
3114.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
312 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
313 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
314 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
315 destructors.
316 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
317 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
318 implementation.
319 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
320 for cosmetic reasons.
321
3224.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
323 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
324 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
325 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
326 - sped up Tk timer handling.
327 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
328 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
329 - fix Qt timers without interval.
330 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
331
3324.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
333 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
334 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
335 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
336
3374.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
338 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
339 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
340 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
341 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
342
3434.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
344 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
345 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
346 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
347 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
348 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
349 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
350 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
351 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
352 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
353 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
354 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
355
3564.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
357 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
358 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
359 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
360 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
361 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
362 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
363 backend.
364 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
365
3664.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
367 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
368 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
369 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
370 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
371 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
372 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
373
3744.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
375 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
376 illegal.
377 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
378 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
379 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
380 by Adam Rosenstein).
381 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
382 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
383 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
384
3854.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
386 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
387 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
388 the socket type.
389 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
390
3914.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
392 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
393 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
394 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
395 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
396 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
397 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
398
3994.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
400 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
401 unless one has been installed already.
402 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
403 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
404 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
405 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
406 client would first wait for some data by the server and
407 otherwise hang. (reported and analysed in an absolutely
408 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
409 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
410 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
411 (reported and analysed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
412 Rosenstein).
413 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
414 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
415 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
416 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
417 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
418 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
419 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
420 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
421 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
422 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
423 now, more to come, though.
424 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
425
4264.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
427 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
428 no trace events.
429 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
430 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
431 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
432 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
433 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
434 Time::HiRes).
435
4364.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
437 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
438 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
439
4404.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
441 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
442 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
443 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
444 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
445
4464.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
447 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
448 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
449 perls without resource leaks or worse).
450
4514.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
452 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
453 the callback.
454 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
455 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
456 eol marker.
457 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
458 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
459 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
460
4614.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
462 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
463 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
464 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
465 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
466 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
467
4684.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
469 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
470 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
471 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
472 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
473 unusable way.
474 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
475 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
476 K. Sharifulin).
477
4784.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
479 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
480 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
481 be delayed under some circumstances.
482 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
483 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
484 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
485 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
486 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
487 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
488
4894.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
490 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
491 assumption that all data could be written before read
492 (reported by Jim Razmus).
493
4944.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
495 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
496 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
497 implementation (also affected child watchers).
498 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
499
5004.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
501 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
502 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
503 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
504
5054.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
506 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
507 works.
508
5094.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
510 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
511 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
512 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
513 for AnyEvent::Handle.
514 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
515 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
516
5174.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
518 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
519 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
520 executing the guard block as warnings.
521 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
522
5234.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
524 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
525 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
526 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
527 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
528 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
529 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
530 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
531 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
532 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
533 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
534 enter an endless loop.
535 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
536 busy again after idling.
537 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
538 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
539 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
540 (hopefully).
541 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
542 away any time.
543
5444.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
545 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
546 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
547 - allow more options in on_error.
548
5494.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
550 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
551 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
552 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
553 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
554 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
555 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
556 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
557 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
558 rfc 2782.
559 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
560 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
561 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
562 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
563 could die. this has been fixed.
564 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
565 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
566 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
567 for resolver class.
568 - update version numbers in all modules.
569
5704.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
571 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
572 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
573 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
574 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
575 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
576 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
577 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
578 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
579 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
580 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
581 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
582 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
583 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
584 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
585 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
586 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
587 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
588 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
589 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
590 but EV also works around this).
591 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
592 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
593 vs. callback arguments.
594 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
595
5964.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
597 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
598 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
599 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
600 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
601
6024.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
603 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
604 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
605 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
606 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
607 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
608 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
609 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
610 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
611 sake of perl 5.8.
612 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
613 (still a hack...)
614 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
615 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
616 die handlers.
617
6184.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
619 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
620 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
621 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
622 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
623 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
624 - updated documentation.
625 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
626 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
627 in AnyEvent::Handle.
628 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
629 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
630 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
631 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
632
6334.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
634 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
635 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
636 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
637 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
638 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
639 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
640 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
641 verbatim ip addresses.
642 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
643 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
644 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
645 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
646 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
647 become writable until empty.
648 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
649 returns ENOTCONN.
650 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
651 override.
652 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
653
6543.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
655 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
656 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
657 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
658 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
659 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
660 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
661 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
662 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
663 first and second argument.
664 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
665 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
666 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
667 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
668 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
669
6703.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
671 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
672
6733.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
674 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
675 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
676 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
677 (still subject to change).
4 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl. 678 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
679 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
680 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
681 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
682 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
683 via Coro::AnyEvent.
5 684
63.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008 6853.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
7 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules. 686 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
8 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive 687 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
