3TODO: check for -w? somehow?
4TODO: _start might call on_error with ETIMEDOUT??
5TODO: document TCP_*** constants
6TODO: FAQ!!
7AnyEvent::Handle uncaught error: Connection timed out at
8 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/AnyEvent/HTTP.pm line 473
9 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
10 actually used in tcp_server.
11 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
12 missing.
13 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
14 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
15 resulting in more informative error messages.
16 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
17 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
18 requested by Ron Isaacson.
19 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
20 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
21 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
22 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
23
245.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
25 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
26
275.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
28 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
29 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
30 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
31 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
32 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
33 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
34 - better/more condvar examples.
35
365.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
37 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
38 time (found by Andy Grundman).
39
405.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
41 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
42 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
43 by Bas Denissen).
44 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
45 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
46 EV and Perl backends.
47 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
48 backends.
49 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
50 never documented nor universally supported).
51 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
52 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
53
545.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
55 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
56 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
57 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
58
595.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
60 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
61 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
62 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
63 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
64 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
65 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
66 by lucky accident on win32.
67 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
68 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
69 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
70 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
71 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
72 detection and eval.
73 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
74 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
75 (same algorithm as EV).
76 - update unicode idna mapping table.
77
785.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
79 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
80 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
81 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
82 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
83
845.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
85 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
86 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
87 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
88 - provide $AE::VERSION.
89 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
90
915.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
92 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
93 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
94 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
95 when passing scalar data to extensions).
96 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
97 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
98 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
99 (John Beppu).
100 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
101 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
102 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
103 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
104
1055.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
106 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
107 (spotted by David Friedland).
108 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
109 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
110 unless you rip out everything but the core).
111 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
112 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
113
1145.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
115 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
116 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
117 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
118 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
119 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
120
1215.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
122 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
123 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
124 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
125 (analysed by elmex).
126
1275.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
128 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
129 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
130 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
131 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
132 AnyEvent::Handle.
133 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
134 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
135 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
136 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
