2 2
3TODO: docs signal for condvar 3TODO: document TCP_*** constants
4 4
5TODO: AE::logger
6TODO: add debug/trace logging to some modules
7 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
8 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
9 to higher log levels to print by default.
10 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
11 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
12 how that module sucks.
13 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
14 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
15 of 127.0.0.1).
16 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
17 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
18 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
19 intervals.
20 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
21 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
22 which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
23 delivery.
24 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
25 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
26 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
27 of the context as title.
28 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
29 to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
30 to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
31 attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
32 AnyEvent.
33
346.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
35 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
36 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
37 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
38 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
39 to work around.
40 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
41
426.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011
43 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
44 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
45 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
46 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
47 AnyEvent::Socket.
48 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
49 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
50 methods.
51 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
52 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
53 - DEPRECIATION: please change
54 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
55 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
56 in your programs, for future compatibility.
57 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
58 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
59 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
60 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
61 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
62 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
63 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
64 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
65 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
66 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
67 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
68 a debug shell.
69 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
70 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
71 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
72 /etc/hosts can be found.
73 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
74 configuration.
75 - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
76 PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
77 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
78 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications $_ by the callback
79 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
80 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
81 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
82 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
83 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
84 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
85 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
86 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
87 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
88 supports /etc/hosts overrides.
89 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
90 and (newly introduced) in POE.
91 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
92 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
93 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
94 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
95 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
96 (reported by Gerald Galster).
97 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
98 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
99 do not support blocking waits.
100 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
101 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
102 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
103 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
104 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
105 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
106 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
107 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
108 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
109 - suppress the idiotic warning inside POE by patching the POE::Kernel
110 run flags instead of asking the user to jump through contortions.
111 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
112 - replace PF_UNSPEC by 0, for good old minix.
113
1146.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)
115
1165.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
117 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
118 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
119 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
120
1215.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
122 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
123 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
124 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
125 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
126 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
127 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
128 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
129 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
130 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
131 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
132 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
133 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
134 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
135
1365.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
137 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
138 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
139 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
140 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
141 documentation for caveats.
142 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
143 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
144 AnyEvent::Handle).
145 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
146 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
147
1485.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
149 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
150 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
151 the availabilty of a default loop!
152 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
153 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
154 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
155 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
156 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
157 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
158 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
159 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
160
1615.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
162 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
163 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
164 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
165 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
166 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
167 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
168 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
169 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
170 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
171 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
172 as part of the perl core.
173 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
174 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
175 minimal perl...).
176
1775.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
178 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
179 actually used in tcp_server.
180 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
181 missing.
182 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
183 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
184 resulting in more informative error messages.
185 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
186 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
187 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
188 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
189 of AnyEvent::TLS.
190 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
191 requested by Ron Isaacson.
192 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
193 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
194 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
195 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
196 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
197
1985.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
199 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
200
2015.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
202 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
203 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
204 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
205 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
206 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
207 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
208 - better/more condvar examples.
209
2105.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
5 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration 211 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
6 time (found by Andy Grundman). 212 time (found by Andy Grundman).
