176.0 (not officially released)
18 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
19 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve directly,
20 and ->request and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions
21 such as AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither
22 is AnyEvent::Socket.
23 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
24 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
25 methods.
26 - DEPRECIATION: please change
27 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
28 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
29 in your programs, for future compatibility.
30 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
31 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
32 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
33 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
34 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
35 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
36 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
37 - new function: AnyEvent::postpone.
38 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
39 a debug shell.
40 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
41 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
42 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
43 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
44 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
45 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
46 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
47 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
48 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
49 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
50 and (newly introduced) in POE.
51 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
52 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
53 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
54 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
55 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
56 (reported by Gerald Galster).
57 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
58 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
59 do not support blocking waits.
60 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
61 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
62 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
63 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
64 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
65 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
66 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
67 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
68
695.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
70 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
71 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
72 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
73
745.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
75 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
76 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
77 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
78 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
79 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
80 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
81 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
82 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
83 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
84 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
85 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
86 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
87 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
88
895.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
90 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
91 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
92 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
93 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
94 documentation for caveats.
95 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
96 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
97 AnyEvent::Handle).
98 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
99 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
100
1015.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
102 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
103 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
104 the availabilty of a default loop!
105 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
106 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
107 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
108 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
109 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
110 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
111 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
112 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
113
1145.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
115 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
116 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
117 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
118 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
119 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
120 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
121 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
122 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
123 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
124 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
125 as part of the perl core.
126 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
127 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
128 minimal perl...).
129
1305.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
131 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
132 actually used in tcp_server.
133 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
134 missing.
135 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
136 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
137 resulting in more informative error messages.
138 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
139 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
140 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
141 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
142 of AnyEvent::TLS.
143 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
144 requested by Ron Isaacson.
145 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
146 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
147 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
148 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
149 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
150
1515.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
152 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
153
1545.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
155 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
156 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
157 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
158 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
159 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
160 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
161 - better/more condvar examples.
162
1635.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
5 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration 164 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
6 time (found by Andy Grundman). 165 time (found by Andy Grundman).
