1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2 2
34.92 3 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
4 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
5 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
6 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
7 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
8 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
9 - better/more condvar examples.
10
115.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
12 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
13 time (found by Andy Grundman).
14
155.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
16 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
17 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
18 by Bas Denissen).
19 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
20 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
21 EV and Perl backends.
22 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
23 backends.
24 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
25 never documented nor universally supported).
26 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
27 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
28
295.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
30 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
31 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
32 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
33
345.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
35 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
36 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
37 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
38 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
39 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
40 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
41 by lucky accident on win32.
42 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
43 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
44 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
45 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
46 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
47 detection and eval.
48 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
49 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
50 (same algorithm as EV).
51 - update unicode idna mapping table.
52
535.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
54 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
55 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
56 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
57 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
58
595.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
60 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
61 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
62 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
63 - provide $AE::VERSION.
64 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
65
665.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
67 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
68 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
69 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
70 when passing scalar data to extensions).
71 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
72 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
73 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
74 (John Beppu).
75 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
76 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
77 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
78 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
79
805.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
81 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
82 (spotted by David Friedland).
83 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
84 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
85 unless you rip out everything but the core).
86 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
87 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
88
895.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
90 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
91 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
92 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
93 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
94 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
95
965.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
97 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
98 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
99 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
100 (analysed by elmex).
101
1025.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
103 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
104 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
105 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
106 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
107 AnyEvent::Handle.
108 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
109 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
110 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
111 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
112
1135.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
114 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
115 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
116 by Michael S. Fischer).
117 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
118 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
119 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
120 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
121 by default.
122 - fix some prototypes.
123 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
124 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
125
1265.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
127 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
128 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
129 - port to broken win32 perls.
130
1315.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
132 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
133 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
134 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
135 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
136 OSes as well).
137
1385.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
139 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
140 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
141 to reduce dependency on JSON.
142
1435.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
144 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
145 one (was broken since 4.91).
146 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
147 when retrying a tcp_connect.
148 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
149 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
150
1515.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
152 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
153
1545.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
155 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
4 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect 156 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
5 in AnyEvent::Handle. 157 in AnyEvent::Handle.
6 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout 158 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
7 settings. 159 settings.
160 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
161 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
162 exporting the probe function).
163 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
164 code to work around it's watcher limits.
165 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
166 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
167 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
8 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV is the backend. 168 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
9 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules. 169 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
