3TODO: docs signal for condvar
4
55.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
6 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
7 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
8 by Bas Denissen).
9 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
10 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
11 EV and Perl backends.
12 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
13 backends.
14 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
15 never documented nor universally supported).
16 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
17 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
18
195.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
20 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
21 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
22 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
23
245.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
25 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
26 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
27 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
28 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
29 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
30 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
31 by lucky accident on win32.
32 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
33 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
34 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
35 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
36 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
37 detection and eval.
38 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
39 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
40 (same algorithm as EV).
41 - update unicode idna mapping table.
42
435.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
44 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
45 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
46 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
47 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
48
495.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
50 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
51 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
52 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
53 - provide $AE::VERSION.
54 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
55
565.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
57 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
58 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
59 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
60 when passing scalar data to extensions).
61 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
62 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
63 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
64 (John Beppu).
65 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
66 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
67 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
68 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
69
705.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
71 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
72 (spotted by David Friedland).
73 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
74 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
75 unless you rip out everything but the core).
76 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
77 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
78
795.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
80 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
81 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
82 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
83 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
84 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
85
865.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
87 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
88 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
89 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
90 (analysed by elmex).
91
925.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
93 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
94 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
95 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
96 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
97 AnyEvent::Handle.
98 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
99 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
100 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
101 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
102
1035.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
104 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
105 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
106 by Michael S. Fischer).
107 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
108 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
109 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
110 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
111 by default.
112 - fix some prototypes.
113 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
114 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
115
1165.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
117 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
118 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
119 - port to broken win32 perls.
120
1215.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
122 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
123 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
124 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
125 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
126 OSes as well).
127
1285.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
129 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
130 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
131 to reduce dependency on JSON.
132
1335.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
134 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
135 one (was broken since 4.91).
136 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
137 when retrying a tcp_connect.
138 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
139 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
140
1415.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
142 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
143
1445.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
145 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
146 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
147 in AnyEvent::Handle.
148 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
149 settings.
150 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
151 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
152 exporting the probe function).
153 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
154 code to work around it's watcher limits.
155 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
156 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
157 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
158 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
159 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
160
1614.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
162 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
163 already contains some TLS handshake.
164 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
165 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
166 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
167 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
168 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
169
1704.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
171 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
172 a negative value, so avoid that.
173 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
174 after the condition is already signalled.
175 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
176 data.
177 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
178 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
179 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
180 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
181 any issues).
182 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
183 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
184 by name (not name or number).
185 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
186 only compiling signal code when necessary.
187 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
188 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
189 said future/alternative API.
190 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
191
1924.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
193 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
194 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
195 (analysed by elmex).
196
1974.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
198 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
199 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
200 for errors after every push_write etc.
201 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
202 platforms.
203
2044.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
205 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
206 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
207 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
208 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
209 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
210 tutorial accordingly.
211 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
212
2134.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
214 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
215 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
216 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
217 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
218 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
219 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
220 in IO::Async.
221
2224.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
223 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
224 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
225 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
226 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
227 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
228 documentation.
229 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
230 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
231 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
232 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
233 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
234 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
235
2364.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
237 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
238 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
239 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
240 this trap.
241 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
242 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
243 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
244 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
245 on_read callbacks.
246 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
247
2484.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
249 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
250 callbacks.
251 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
252 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
253 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
254 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
255 Event::Lib.
256 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
257 to rarely fail.
258
2594.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
260 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
261 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
3 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles 262 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
4 in AnyEvent->io. 263 in AnyEvent->io.
5 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF, 264 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
6 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE 265 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
7 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH. 266 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
8 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS. 267 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
268 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
269 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
270 portable_socketpair.
271 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
272 YMMV.
