1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2 2
3 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
4
55.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
6 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
7 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
8 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
9 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
10 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
11 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
12 - better/more condvar examples.
13
145.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
15 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
16 time (found by Andy Grundman).
17
185.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
19 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
20 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
21 by Bas Denissen).
22 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
23 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
24 EV and Perl backends.
25 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
26 backends.
27 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
28 never documented nor universally supported).
29 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
30 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
31
325.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
33 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
34 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
35 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
36
375.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
38 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
39 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
40 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
41 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
42 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
43 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
44 by lucky accident on win32.
45 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
46 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
47 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
48 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
49 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
50 detection and eval.
51 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
52 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
53 (same algorithm as EV).
54 - update unicode idna mapping table.
55
565.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
57 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
58 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
59 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
60 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
61
625.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
63 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
64 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
65 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
66 - provide $AE::VERSION.
67 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
68
695.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
70 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
71 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
72 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
73 when passing scalar data to extensions).
74 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
75 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
76 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
77 (John Beppu).
78 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
79 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
80 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
81 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
82
835.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
84 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
85 (spotted by David Friedland).
86 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
87 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
88 unless you rip out everything but the core).
89 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
90 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
91
925.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
93 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
94 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
95 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
96 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
97 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
98
995.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
100 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
101 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
102 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
103 (analysed by elmex).
104
1055.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
106 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
107 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
108 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
109 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
110 AnyEvent::Handle.
111 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
112 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
113 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
114 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
115
1165.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
117 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
118 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
119 by Michael S. Fischer).
120 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
121 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
122 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
123 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
124 by default.
125 - fix some prototypes.
126 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
127 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
