3TODO: docs signal for condvar
4
5 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
6 time (found by Andy Grundman).
7
85.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
9 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
10 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
11 by Bas Denissen).
12 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
13 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
14 EV and Perl backends.
15 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
16 backends.
17 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
18 never documented nor universally supported).
19 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
20 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
21
225.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
23 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
24 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
25 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
26
275.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
28 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
29 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
30 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
31 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
32 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
33 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
34 by lucky accident on win32.
35 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
36 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
37 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
38 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
39 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
40 detection and eval.
41 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
42 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
43 (same algorithm as EV).
44 - update unicode idna mapping table.
45
465.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
47 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
48 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
49 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
50 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
51
525.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
53 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
54 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
55 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
56 - provide $AE::VERSION.
57 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
58
595.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
60 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
61 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
62 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
63 when passing scalar data to extensions).
64 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
65 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
66 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
67 (John Beppu).
68 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
69 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
70 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
71 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
72
735.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
74 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
75 (spotted by David Friedland).
76 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
77 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
78 unless you rip out everything but the core).
79 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
80 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
81
825.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
83 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
84 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
85 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
86 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
87 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
88
895.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
90 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
91 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
92 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
93 (analysed by elmex).
94
955.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
96 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
97 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
98 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
99 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
100 AnyEvent::Handle.
101 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
102 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
103 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
104 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
105
1065.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
107 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
108 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
109 by Michael S. Fischer).
110 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
111 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
112 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
113 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
114 by default.
115 - fix some prototypes.
116 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
117 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
118
1195.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
120 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
121 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
122 - port to broken win32 perls.
123
1245.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
125 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
126 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
127 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
128 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
129 OSes as well).
130
1315.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
132 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
133 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
134 to reduce dependency on JSON.
135
1365.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
137 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
138 one (was broken since 4.91).
139 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
140 when retrying a tcp_connect.
141 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
142 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
