3TODO: document TCP_*** constants
4TODO: catch AE::xxx for anyevent struct and anyevent debug
5TODO: anyevent::trace? or debug tracing all watchers?
6TODO: anyevent strict etc. for AE::
7
8 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API.
9 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
10 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
11 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
12
135.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
14 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
15 actually used in tcp_server.
16 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
17 missing.
18 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
19 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
20 resulting in more informative error messages.
21 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
22 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
23 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
24 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
25 of AnyEvent::TLS.
26 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
27 requested by Ron Isaacson.
28 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
29 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
30 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
31 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
32 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
33
345.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
35 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
36
375.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
38 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
39 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
40 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
41 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
42 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
43 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
44 - better/more condvar examples.
45
465.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
47 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
48 time (found by Andy Grundman).
49
505.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
51 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
52 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
53 by Bas Denissen).
54 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
55 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
56 EV and Perl backends.
57 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
58 backends.
59 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
60 never documented nor universally supported).
61 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
62 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
63
645.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
65 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
66 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
67 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
68
695.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
70 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
71 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
72 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
73 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
74 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
75 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
76 by lucky accident on win32.
77 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
78 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
79 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
80 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
81 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
82 detection and eval.
83 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
84 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
85 (same algorithm as EV).
86 - update unicode idna mapping table.
87
885.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
89 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
90 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
91 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
92 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
93
945.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
95 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
96 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
97 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
98 - provide $AE::VERSION.
99 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
100
1015.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
102 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
103 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
104 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
105 when passing scalar data to extensions).
106 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
107 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
108 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
109 (John Beppu).
110 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
111 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
112 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
113 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
114
1155.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
116 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
117 (spotted by David Friedland).
118 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
119 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
120 unless you rip out everything but the core).
121 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
122 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
123
1245.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
125 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
126 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
127 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
128 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
129 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
130
1315.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
132 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
133 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
134 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
135 (analysed by elmex).
136
1375.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
138 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
139 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
140 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
141 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
142 AnyEvent::Handle.
143 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
144 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
145 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
146 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
147
1485.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
149 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
150 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
151 by Michael S. Fischer).
152 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
153 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
154 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
155 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
156 by default.
157 - fix some prototypes.
158 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
159 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
160
1615.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
162 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
163 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
164 - port to broken win32 perls.
165
1665.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
167 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
168 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
169 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
170 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
171 OSes as well).
172
1735.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
174 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
175 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
176 to reduce dependency on JSON.
177
1785.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
179 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
180 one (was broken since 4.91).
181 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
182 when retrying a tcp_connect.
183 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
184 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
185
1865.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
187 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
188
1895.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
190 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
191 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
192 in AnyEvent::Handle.
193 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
194 settings.
195 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
196 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
197 exporting the probe function).
198 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
199 code to work around it's watcher limits.
200 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
201 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
202 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
203 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
204 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
205
2064.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
207 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
208 already contains some TLS handshake.
209 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
210 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
211 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
212 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
213 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
214
2154.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
216 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
217 a negative value, so avoid that.
218 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
219 after the condition is already signalled.
220 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
221 data.
222 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
223 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
224 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
225 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
226 any issues).
227 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
228 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
229 by name (not name or number).
230 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
231 only compiling signal code when necessary.
232 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
233 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
234 said future/alternative API.
235 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
236
2374.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
238 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
239 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
240 (analysed by elmex).
241
2424.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
243 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
244 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
245 for errors after every push_write etc.
246 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
247 platforms.
248
2494.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
250 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
251 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
252 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
253 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
254 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
255 tutorial accordingly.
256 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
257
2584.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
259 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
260 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
261 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
262 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
263 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
264 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
265 in IO::Async.
266
2674.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
268 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
269 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
270 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
271 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
272 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
273 documentation.
274 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
275 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
276 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
277 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
278 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
279 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
280
