3TODO: docs signal for condvar
4
55.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
6 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
7 time (found by Andy Grundman).
8
95.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
10 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
11 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
12 by Bas Denissen).
13 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
14 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
15 EV and Perl backends.
16 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
17 backends.
18 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
19 never documented nor universally supported).
20 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
21 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
22
235.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
24 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
25 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
26 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
27
285.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
29 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
30 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
31 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
32 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
33 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
34 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
35 by lucky accident on win32.
36 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
37 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
38 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
39 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
40 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
41 detection and eval.
42 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
43 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
44 (same algorithm as EV).
45 - update unicode idna mapping table.
46
475.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
48 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
49 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
50 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
51 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
52
535.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
54 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
55 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
56 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
57 - provide $AE::VERSION.
58 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
59
605.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
61 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
62 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
63 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
64 when passing scalar data to extensions).
65 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
66 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
67 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
68 (John Beppu).
69 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
70 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
71 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
72 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
73
745.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
75 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
76 (spotted by David Friedland).
77 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
78 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
79 unless you rip out everything but the core).
80 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
81 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
82
835.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
84 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
85 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
86 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
87 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
88 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
89
905.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
91 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
92 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
93 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
94 (analysed by elmex).
95
965.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
97 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
98 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
99 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
100 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
101 AnyEvent::Handle.
102 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
103 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
104 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
105 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
106
1075.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
108 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
109 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
110 by Michael S. Fischer).
111 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
112 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
113 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
114 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
115 by default.
116 - fix some prototypes.
117 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
118 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
119
1205.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
121 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
122 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
123 - port to broken win32 perls.
124
1255.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
126 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
127 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
128 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
129 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
130 OSes as well).
131
1325.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
133 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
134 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
135 to reduce dependency on JSON.
136
1375.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
138 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
139 one (was broken since 4.91).
140 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
141 when retrying a tcp_connect.
142 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
143 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
144
1455.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
146 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
147
1485.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
149 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
150 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
151 in AnyEvent::Handle.
152 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
153 settings.
154 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
155 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
156 exporting the probe function).
157 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
158 code to work around it's watcher limits.
159 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
160 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
161 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
162 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
163 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
164
1654.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
166 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
167 already contains some TLS handshake.
168 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
169 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
170 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
171 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
172 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
173
1744.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
175 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
176 a negative value, so avoid that.
177 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
178 after the condition is already signalled.
179 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
180 data.
181 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
182 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
183 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
184 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
185 any issues).
186 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
187 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
188 by name (not name or number).
189 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
190 only compiling signal code when necessary.
191 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
192 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
193 said future/alternative API.
194 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
195
1964.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
197 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
198 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
199 (analysed by elmex).
200
2014.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
202 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
203 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
204 for errors after every push_write etc.
205 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
206 platforms.
207
2084.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
209 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
210 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
211 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
212 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
213 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
214 tutorial accordingly.
215 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
216
2174.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
218 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
219 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
220 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
221 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
222 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
223 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
224 in IO::Async.
225
2264.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
227 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
228 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
229 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
230 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
231 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
232 documentation.
233 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
234 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
235 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
236 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
237 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
238 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
239
2404.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
241 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
242 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
243 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
244 this trap.
245 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
246 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
247 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
248 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
249 on_read callbacks.
250 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
251
2524.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
253 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
254 callbacks.
255 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
256 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
257 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
258 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
259 Event::Lib.
260 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
261 to rarely fail.
262
2634.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
264 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
265 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
266 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
267 in AnyEvent->io.
3 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF, 268 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
4 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE 269 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
5 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH. 270 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
6 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS. 271 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
272 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
273 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
274 portable_socketpair.
275 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
276 YMMV.
