1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2 2
34.92 3 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
4 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
5 by Bas Denissen).
6 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
7 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
8 EV and Perl backends.
9 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
10 backends.
11 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
12 never documented nor universally supported).
13 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
14 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
15
165.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
17 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
18 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
19 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
20
215.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
22 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
23 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
24 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
25 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
26 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
27 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
28 by lucky accident on win32.
29 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
30 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
31 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
32 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
33 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
34 detection and eval.
35 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
36 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
37 (same algorithm as EV).
38 - update unicode idna mapping table.
39
405.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
41 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
42 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
43 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
44 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
45
465.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
47 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
48 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
49 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
50 - provide $AE::VERSION.
51 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
52
535.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
54 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
55 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
56 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
57 when passing scalar data to extensions).
58 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
59 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
60 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
61 (John Beppu).
62 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
63 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
64 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
65 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
66
675.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
68 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
69 (spotted by David Friedland).
70 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
71 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
72 unless you rip out everything but the core).
73 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
74 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
75
765.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
77 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
78 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
79 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
80 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
81 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
82
835.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
84 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
85 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
86 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
87 (analysed by elmex).
88
895.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
90 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
91 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
92 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
93 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
94 AnyEvent::Handle.
95 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
96 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
97 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
98 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
99
1005.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
101 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
102 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
103 by Michael S. Fischer).
104 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
105 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
106 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
107 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
108 by default.
109 - fix some prototypes.
110 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
111 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
112
1135.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
114 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
115 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
116 - port to broken win32 perls.
117
1185.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
119 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
120 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
121 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
122 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
123 OSes as well).
124
1255.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
126 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
127 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
128 to reduce dependency on JSON.
129
1305.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
131 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
132 one (was broken since 4.91).
133 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
134 when retrying a tcp_connect.
135 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
136 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
137
1385.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
139 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
140

142 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
4 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect 143 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect

6 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout 145 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
7 settings. 146 settings.
8 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at 147 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
9 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids 148 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
10 exporting the probe function). 149 exporting the probe function).
150 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
151 code to work around it's watcher limits.
152 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
153 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
154 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
11 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV is the backend. 155 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
12 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules. 156 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
