1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2 2
35.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
4 - make test failed if it was run before make install, and
5 older versions of perl make our live very difficult, so
6 write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
7
85.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
9 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
10 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
11 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
12 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
13 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
14 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
15 by lucky accident on win32.
16 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
17 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
18 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
19 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
20 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
21 detection and eval.
22 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
23 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
24 (ame algorithm as EV).
25 - update unicode idna mapping table.
26
275.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
28 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
29 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
30 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
31 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
32
335.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
34 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
35 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
36 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
37 - provide $AE::VERSION.
38 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
39
405.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
41 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
42 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
43 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
44 when passing scalar data to extensions).
45 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
46 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
47 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
48 (John Beppu).
49 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
50 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
51 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
52 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
53
545.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
55 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
56 (spotted by David Friedland).
57 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
58 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
59 unless you rip out everything but the core).
60 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
61 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
62
635.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
64 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
65 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
66 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
67 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
68 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
69
705.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
71 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
72 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
73 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
74 (analysed by elmex).
75
765.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
77 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
78 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
79 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
80 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
81 AnyEvent::Handle.
82 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
83 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
84 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
85 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
86
875.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
88 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
89 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
90 by Michael S. Fischer).
91 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
92 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
93 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
94 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
95 by default.
96 - fix some prototypes.
97 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
98 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
99
1005.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
101 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
102 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
103 - port to broken win32 perls.
104
1055.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
106 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
107 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
108 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
109 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
110 OSes as well).
111
1125.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
113 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
114 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
115 to reduce dependency on JSON.
116
1175.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
118 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
119 one (was broken since 4.91).
120 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
121 when retrying a tcp_connect.
122 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
123 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
124
1255.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
126 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
127
1285.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
129 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
130 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
131 in AnyEvent::Handle.
132 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
133 settings.
134 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
135 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
136 exporting the probe function).
137 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
138 code to work around it's watcher limits.
139 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
140 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
141 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
142 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
143 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
144
1454.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
146 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
147 already contains some TLS handshake.
148 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
149 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
150 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
151 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
152 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
153
1544.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
155 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
156 a negative value, so avoid that.
157 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
158 after the condition is already signalled.
159 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
160 data.
161 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
162 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
163 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
164 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
165 any issues).
166 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
167 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
168 by name (not name or number).
169 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
170 only compiling signal code when necessary.
171 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
172 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
173 said future/alternative API.
174 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
175
1764.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
177 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
178 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
179 (analysed by elmex).
180
1814.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
182 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
183 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
184 for errors after every push_write etc.
185 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
186 platforms.
187
1884.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
189 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
190 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
191 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
192 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
193 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
194 tutorial accordingly.
195 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
196
1974.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
198 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
199 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
200 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
201 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
202 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
203 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
204 in IO::Async.
205
2064.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
207 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
208 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
209 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
210 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
211 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
212 documentation.
213 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
214 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
215 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
216 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
217 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
218 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
219
2204.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
221 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
222 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
223 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
224 this trap.
225 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
226 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
227 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
228 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
229 on_read callbacks.
230 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
231
2324.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
233 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
234 callbacks.
235 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
236 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
237 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
238 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
239 Event::Lib.
240 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
241 to rarely fail.
242
2434.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
244 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
245 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
246 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
247 in AnyEvent->io.
248 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
249 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
250 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
251 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
252 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
253 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
254 portable_socketpair.
255 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
256 YMMV.
257
2584.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
259 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
260 uppercase targets.
261 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
262 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
263 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
264 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
265 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
266 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
267 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
268 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
269 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
3 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS, 270 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
4 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint 271 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
5 in the common case. 272 in the common case.
273 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
274 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
275 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
276 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
277 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
278 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
279 from the constructor.
280 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
281 then fall back to JSON.
282 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
283 and because it was documented that way.
284
2854.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
286 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
287 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
