6 13
14 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::tcp_bind.
15 - aligned ipv6 address formatting with RFC 5952 (by not shortening
16 a single :0: to ::).
17 - added stability canary support.
18
197.09 Sat May 2 16:38:53 CEST 2015
20 - AnyEvent::Debug called an internal function (AnyEvent::Log::ft)
21 that was renamed to AnyEvent::Log:format_time. uinder its old name
22 (analyzed by Michael Stovenour).
23 - update AnyEvent::DNS fallback resolver addresses:
24 seems google effectively killed most other free dns resolvers,
25 so remove them, but add cable and wireless (ecrc) since it was
26 stable for 20 years or so, official or not, and there should be
27 an alternative to google.
28 - perl5porters broke windows error codes in 5.20, and mapped
29 WSAEWOULDBLOCK on the (different) EWOULDBLOCK error code, and
30 WSAEINPROGRESS into the incompatible ERINPROGRESS code, probably
31 because they were so cool. They probably broke other error codes
32 for no reason, too, but I didn't care for checking, it's too
33 depressing. This version only works around the WSAEWOULDBLOCK
34 issue, because I don't have a nice way to work around the
35 WSAEINPROGRESS bug.
36
377.08 Wed Dec 10 05:27:17 CET 2014
38 - work around a newly introduced bug in Socket 2.011 (an
39 errornous sun_length check) (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
40 - AnyEvent::TLS didn't load (but refer to) AnyEvent::Socket
41 (analyzed by Ben Magistro).
42 - AnyEvent::Strict will now confess, not croak. This is in line with
43 it being a development/debugging tool.
44 - work around a number of libglib bugs (debug builds of libglib enforce
45 certain undocumented behaviour patterns such as not being able to
46 remove a child watch source after it has fired, which we will try
47 to emulate to avoid "criticals". what where they thinking...).
48 - mention json security issues in AnyEvent::Handle, now that Douglas
49 Crockford has foolishly and incompatibly changed JSON.
50 - changed default dns resolver "max_outstanding" value from 1 to 10,
51 the latter beinfg the intended value all along
52 (reported by Ilya Chesnokov).
53 - added new "AnyEvent::Impl::UV" interface module to the UV event lib
54 (written by Mike Lowell).
55
567.07 Tue Dec 17 17:45:02 CET 2013
57 - the documentation for custom tls verify schemes was wrong. make it agree
58 with the code (reported by Maxime Soulé).
59 - added cbor read and write types to AnyEvent::Handle (using CBOR::XS).
60 - work around an API change in openssl that could cause wrong tls connection
61 aborts, likely on windows only (analyzed by sten).
62 - calling AnyEvent->now_update with AnyEvent::Impl::Perl caused an
63 endless loop (reported by Dietrich Rebmann).
64 - add tlsv1_1 and tlsv1_2 protocols to AnyEvent::TLS
65 (patch by Maxime Soulé).
66 - document AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync::set_loop and
67 $AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync::LOOP. Though only documented now, this
68 functionality has _always_ been available.
69 - force a toplevel domain name in t/81_hosts.t (analyzed by
70 David Jack Wange Olrik).
71 - document that AnyEvent::Log uses AnyEvent::IO.
72 - warn about AnyEvent::Filesys::Notify performance.
73 - praise the joys of AnyEvent::Fork::*.
74 - time for an =encoding directive.
75 - do no longer use JSON to create a default json coder, use
76 JSON::XS or JSON::PP directly.
77
787.05 Wed Aug 21 10:38:08 CEST 2013
79 - uts46data.pl couldn't be found due to wrong naming of the file
80 (reported by Fulko Hew).
81 - handle lone \015's properly in AE::Handle's default line read
82 (reported by various people).
83 - untaint ip addresses found in /etc/hosts (patch by José Micó).
84 - the memleak fix in 7.03 caused resolving via /etc/hosts to always
85 fail on first use (reported and testcase by Andrew Whatson).
86 - expose AnyEvent::Log::format_time, and allow users to redefine it.
87 - expose AnyEvent::Log::default_format, and allow redefinition.
88 - expose AnyEvent::Log::fatal_exit, to allow redefinition.
89 - AnyEvent::Debug shell can now run coro shell commands, if available.
90 - t/63* tests were wrongly in MANIFEST.
91 - kernel.org's finger server went MIA, switch to freebsd.org and
92 icculus.org.
93 - clarify that IO::AIO and AnyEvent::AIO are needed for AnyEvent::IO
94 to function asynchronously (reported by Daniel Carosone).
95 - hard-disable $^W in most tests, it generates too much garbage output.
96 - use a (hopefully) more future-proof method to emulate common::sense.
97 - upgrade to UTS-46:6.2.0.
98 - switch to INSTLIB from INSTLIBDIR, as INSTLIBDIR was wrongly
99 documented. should not affect anything.
100
1017.04 Thu Nov 15 02:23:58 CET 2012
102 - debugging code left in.
103
1047.03 Thu Nov 15 02:16:11 CET 2012
105 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton did not work when dns resolution was
106 used to find the addresses (analyzed and patch by Maxime Soulé).
107 - fix a memory leak in the /etc/hosts lookup code when hosts don't
108 resolve and are not in hosts (analyzed by sten).
109
1107.02 Tue Aug 14 04:27:58 CEST 2012
111 - AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd could block indefinitely (analyzed and test
112 program by Yorhel).
113 - verified that AnyEvent::Socket follows RFC5952.
114 - try to parse "ADDR#PORT" in addition to "ADDR PORT".
115
1167.01 Sun May 13 01:03:17 CEST 2012
117 - fail with EPROTO in AnyEvent::Handle wqhen TLS is requested but
118 not available, instead of throwing an exception.
119 - use File::Spec to get the tmpdir in t/*, to avoid needless
120 failures on (most, not mine :) windows boxes.
121 - new handle read types: tls_detect and tls_autostart.
122
1237.0 Fri Apr 13 06:33:30 CEST 2012
124 - child watchers are broken in POE 1.352 (also many earlier
125 versions) and there seems to be no way to work around it, as POE
126 itself is inherently racy. Document this regression and add a delay
127 in t/68_poe_03_child.t for the time being.
128 - new module AnyEvent::IO, that is a frontend to either a pure-perl
129 synchronous I/O implementation (AnyEvent::IO::Perl), or to the
130 asynchronous I/O extension IO::AIO (AnyEvent::IO::IOAIO).
131 - load /etc/hosts only when DNS has no answer.
132 - stat /etc/hosts on every access and reload it if it changed.
133 - load /etc/hosts via AnyEvent::IO - potentially asynchronous.
134 - fix a buggy croak in the dh parameter reading in AnyEvent::TLS.
135 - AnyEvent::Log log_to_file and log_to_path now use AnyEvent::IO. As
136 a side effect, they now use true appending as opposed to libc
137 appending, and the file might not have been opened when the function
138 returns.
139 - the default logging level was not properly documented in a variety of
140 places, this has hopefully been rectified.
141 - updated uts46data.pl for unicode 6.1.0.
142 - made log messages generated by AnyEvent submodules not
143 include the package name anymore, as it will be logged
144 by default already.
145 - upgrade to the trick used by common-sense 3.5 to work
146 around extra warning torture/breakage under perl 5.15.x.
147 - log messages by anyevent are now ucfirst, are usually full
148 sentences and do no longer include the package name.
149 - the storable read type would sometimes throw an exception instead
150 of causing EBADMSG (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
151 - work around a bug in openssl 1.0.1 which enforces a minimum rsa
152 keysize (reported by Paul Howarth).
153 - documented Rocco fabricating statements about AnyEvent and me.
154
1556.14 Tue Jan 31 20:00:24 CET 2012
156 - AnyEvent::Impl::Tk was broken due to a mysterious "die" inside,
157 probably an editing mistake (reported by Darin McBride).
158
1596.13 Thu Jan 12 07:27:01 CET 2012
160 - AnyEvent::Util::fork_call checked for POSIX availability in the wrong way,
161 causing it to fail if POSIX wasn't loaded already (analysed by Rock Power).
162 - AnyEvent::Handle::push_read (line => did pass $1 directly, so
163 regex-matching inside the callback would change the parameter, despite
164 $1 being dynamically scoped per-block. this perl bug is now being
165 worked around (testcase by Cindy Wang).
166
1676.12 Mon Dec 12 13:21:10 CET 2011
168 - $! was clobbered by subsequent calls in tcp_connect, due to
169 the postpone not saving/restoring it (analyzed by Richard Garnish).
170
1716.11 Tue Nov 22 10:36:05 CET 2011
172 - Tk cannot create windows when tainted unless you set a title, so
173 set a dummy title for AnyEvent's dummy mainwindow. How dummy.
174 - escape any nonprintable/nonascii characters when stringifying
175 backtraces.
176 - log the reason loading an interface module fails to load at level debug.
177
1786.1 Tue Oct 4 19:44:30 CEST 2011
179 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
180 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
181 to higher log levels to print by default.
182 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
183 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
184 how that module sucks.
185 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
186 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
187 of 127.0.0.1).
188 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
189 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
190 - AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to.
191 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
192 intervals.
193 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
194 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
195 which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
196 delivery.
197 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
198 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
199 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
200 of the context as title.
201 - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback
202 died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging...
203 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
204 to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
205 to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
206 attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
207 AnyEvent.
208
2096.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
210 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
211 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
212 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
213 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
214 to work around.
215 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
216
2176.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011
218 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
219 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
220 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
221 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
222 AnyEvent::Socket.
223 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
224 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
225 methods.
226 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
227 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
228 - DEPRECIATION: please change
229 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
230 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
231 in your programs, for future compatibility.
232 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
233 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
234 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
235 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
236 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
237 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
238 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
239 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
240 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
241 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
242 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
243 a debug shell.
244 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
245 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
246 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
247 /etc/hosts can be found.
248 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
249 configuration.
250 - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
251 PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
252 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
253 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications of $_ by the callback
254 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
255 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
256 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
257 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
258 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
259 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
260 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
261 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
262 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
263 supports /etc/hosts overrides.
264 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
265 and (newly introduced) in POE.
266 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
267 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
268 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
269 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
270 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
271 (reported by Gerald Galster).
272 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
273 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
274 do not support blocking waits.
275 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
276 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
277 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
278 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
279 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
280 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
281 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
282 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
283 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
284 - suppress the idiotic warning inside POE by patching the POE::Kernel
285 run flags instead of asking the user to jump through contortions.
286 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
287 - replace PF_UNSPEC by 0, for good old minix.
288
2896.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)
290
2915.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
292 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
293 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
294 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
295
2965.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
297 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
298 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
299 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
300 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
301 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
302 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
303 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
304 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
305 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
306 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
307 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
308 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
309 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
310
3115.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
312 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
313 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
314 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
315 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
316 documentation for caveats.
317 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
318 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
319 AnyEvent::Handle).
320 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
321 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
322
3235.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
324 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
325 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
326 the availabilty of a default loop!
327 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
328 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
329 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
330 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
331 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
332 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
333 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
334 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
335
3365.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
337 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
338 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
339 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
340 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
7 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle. 341 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
342 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
343 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
344 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
345 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
346 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
347 as part of the perl core.
348 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
349 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
350 minimal perl...).
