10AnyEvent::Handle uncaught error: Connection timed out at 10 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
11 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/AnyEvent/HTTP.pm line 473 11 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
12 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
13 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
14 AnyEvent::Socket.
15 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
16 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
17 methods.
18 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
19 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
20 - DEPRECIATION: please change
21 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
22 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
23 in your programs, for future compatibility.
24 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
25 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
26 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
27 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
28 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
29 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
30 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
31 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
32 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
33 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
34 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
35 a debug shell.
36 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
37 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
38 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
39 F</etc/hosts> can be found.
40 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
41 configuration.
42 - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
43 PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
44 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
45 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications $_ by the callback
46 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
47 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
48 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
49 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
50 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
51 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
52 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
53 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
54 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
55 supports /etc/hosts overrides.
56 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
57 and (newly introduced) in POE.
58 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
59 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
60 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
61 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
62 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
63 (reported by Gerald Galster).
64 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
65 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
66 do not support blocking waits.
67 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
68 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
69 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
70 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
71 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
72 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
73 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
74 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
75 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
76 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
77
786.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)
79
805.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
81 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
82 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
83 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
84
855.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
86 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
87 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
88 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
89 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
90 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
91 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
92 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
93 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
94 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
95 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
96 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
97 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
98 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
99
1005.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
101 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
102 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
103 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
104 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
105 documentation for caveats.
106 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
107 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
108 AnyEvent::Handle).
109 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
110 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
111
1125.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
113 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
114 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
115 the availabilty of a default loop!
116 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
117 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
118 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
119 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
120 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
121 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
122 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
123 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
124
1255.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
126 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
127 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
128 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
129 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
130 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
131 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
132 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
133 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
134 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
135 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
136 as part of the perl core.
137 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
138 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
139 minimal perl...).
140
1415.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
12 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't 142 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
13 actually used in tcp_server. 143 actually used in tcp_server.
144 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
145 missing.
146 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
14 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently, 147 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
15 resulting in more informative error messages. 148 resulting in more informative error messages.
149 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
16 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read. 150 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
151 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
152 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
153 of AnyEvent::TLS.
154 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
155 requested by Ron Isaacson.
156 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
17 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen. 157 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
158 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
159 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
160 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.

195.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010 1625.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
