3TODO: document TCP_*** constants
4TODO: catch AE::xxx for anyevent strict and anyevent debug
5TODO: anyevent::trace? or debug tracing all watchers?
6TODO: anyevent strict checking for $_ changes?
7
8TODO: redesign Impl
9TODO: make ae::run mroe robust against eintr, Andrew Suffield
10TODO: IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer -wait for IO::Async release.
11 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
12 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve directly,
13 and ->request and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions
14 such as AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected.
15 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
16 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
17 methods.
18 - DEPRECIATION: please change
19 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
20 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
21 in your programs, for future compatibility.
22 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
23 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
24 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
25 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
26 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
27 - new function: AnyEvent::postpone.
28 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
29 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
30 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
31 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
32 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
33 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
34 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
35 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
36 and (newly introduced) in POE.
37 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
38 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
39 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
40 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
41 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
42 (reported by Gerald Galster).
43 - resolve AnyEvent::Util::guard at first-use-time, not at load time,
44 for further speed and memory savings when not used.
45 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
46 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
47 do not support blocking waits.
48 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
49 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
50 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
51 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
52
535.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
54 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
55 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
56 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
57
585.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
59 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
60 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
61 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
62 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
63 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
64 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
65 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
66 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
67 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
68 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
69 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
70 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
71 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
72
735.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
74 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
75 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
76 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
77 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
78 documentation for caveats.
79 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
80 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
81 AnyEvent::Handle).
82 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
83 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
84
855.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
86 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
87 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
88 the availabilty of a default loop!
89 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
90 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
91 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
92 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
93 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
94 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
95 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
96 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
97
985.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
99 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
100 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
101 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
102 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
103 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
104 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
105 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
106 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
107 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
108 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
109 as part of the perl core.
110 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
111 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
112 minimal perl...).
113
1145.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
115 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
116 actually used in tcp_server.
117 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
118 missing.
119 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
120 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
121 resulting in more informative error messages.
122 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
123 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
124 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
125 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
126 of AnyEvent::TLS.
127 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
128 requested by Ron Isaacson.
129 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
130 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
131 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
132 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
133 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
134
1355.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
136 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
137
1385.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
139 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
140 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
141 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
142 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
143 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
144 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
145 - better/more condvar examples.
146
1475.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
148 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
149 time (found by Andy Grundman).
150
1515.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
152 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
153 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
154 by Bas Denissen).
155 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
156 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
157 EV and Perl backends.
158 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
159 backends.
160 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
161 never documented nor universally supported).
162 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
163 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
164
1655.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
166 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
167 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
168 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
