9 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API.
10 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
11 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
12 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
13 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
14 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
15
165.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
17 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
18 actually used in tcp_server.
19 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
20 missing.
21 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
22 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
23 resulting in more informative error messages.
24 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
25 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
26 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
27 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
28 of AnyEvent::TLS.
29 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
30 requested by Ron Isaacson.
31 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
32 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
33 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
34 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
35 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
36
375.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
38 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
39
405.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
41 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
42 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
43 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
44 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
45 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
46 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
47 - better/more condvar examples.
48
495.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
50 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
51 time (found by Andy Grundman).
52
535.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
54 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
55 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
56 by Bas Denissen).
57 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
58 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
59 EV and Perl backends.
60 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
61 backends.
62 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
63 never documented nor universally supported).
64 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
65 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
66
675.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
68 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
69 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
70 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
71
725.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
73 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
74 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
75 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
76 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
77 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
78 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
79 by lucky accident on win32.
80 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
81 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
82 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
83 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
84 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
85 detection and eval.
86 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
87 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
88 (same algorithm as EV).
89 - update unicode idna mapping table.
90
915.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
92 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
93 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
94 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
95 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
96
975.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
98 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
99 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
100 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
101 - provide $AE::VERSION.
102 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
103
1045.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
105 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
106 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
107 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
108 when passing scalar data to extensions).
109 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
110 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
111 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
112 (John Beppu).
113 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
114 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
115 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
116 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
117
1185.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
119 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
120 (spotted by David Friedland).
121 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
122 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
123 unless you rip out everything but the core).
124 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
125 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
126
1275.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
128 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
129 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
130 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
131 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
132 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
133
1345.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
135 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
136 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
137 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
138 (analysed by elmex).
139
1405.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
141 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
142 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
143 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
144 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
145 AnyEvent::Handle.
146 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
147 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
148 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
149 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
150
1515.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
152 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
153 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
154 by Michael S. Fischer).
155 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
156 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
157 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
158 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
159 by default.
160 - fix some prototypes.
161 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
162 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
163
1645.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
165 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
166 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
167 - port to broken win32 perls.
168
1695.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
170 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
171 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
172 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
173 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
174 OSes as well).
175
1765.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
177 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
178 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
179 to reduce dependency on JSON.
180
1815.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
182 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
183 one (was broken since 4.91).
184 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
185 when retrying a tcp_connect.
186 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
187 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
188
1895.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
190 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
191
1925.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
193 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
194 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
195 in AnyEvent::Handle.
196 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
197 settings.
198 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
199 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
200 exporting the probe function).
201 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
202 code to work around it's watcher limits.
203 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
204 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
205 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
206 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
207 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
208
2094.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
210 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
211 already contains some TLS handshake.
212 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
213 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
214 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
215 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
216 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
217
2184.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
219 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
220 a negative value, so avoid that.
221 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
222 after the condition is already signalled.
223 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
224 data.
225 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
226 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
227 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
228 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
229 any issues).
230 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
231 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
232 by name (not name or number).
233 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
234 only compiling signal code when necessary.
235 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
236 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
237 said future/alternative API.
238 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
239
2404.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
241 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
242 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
243 (analysed by elmex).
244
2454.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
246 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
247 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
248 for errors after every push_write etc.
249 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
250 platforms.
251
2524.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
253 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
254 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
255 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
256 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
257 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
258 tutorial accordingly.
259 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
260
2614.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
262 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
263 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
264 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
265 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
266 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
267 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
268 in IO::Async.
269
2704.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
271 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
272 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
273 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
274 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
275 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
276 documentation.
277 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
278 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
279 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
280 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
281 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
282 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
283
2844.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
285 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
286 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
287 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
288 this trap.
289 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
290 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
291 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
292 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
293 on_read callbacks.
294 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
295
2964.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
297 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
298 callbacks.
299 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
300 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
301 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
302 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
303 Event::Lib.
304 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
305 to rarely fail.
306
3074.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
308 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
309 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
310 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
311 in AnyEvent->io.
312 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
313 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
314 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
315 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
316 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
317 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
318 portable_socketpair.
319 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
320 YMMV.
321
3224.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
323 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
324 uppercase targets.
325 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
326 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
327 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
328 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
329 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
330 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
331 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
332 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
333 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
334 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
335 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
336 in the common case.
337 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
338 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
339 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
340 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
341 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
342 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
343 from the constructor.
344 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
345 then fall back to JSON.
346 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
347 and because it was documented that way.
348
3494.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
350 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
351 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
352
3534.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
354 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
355 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
356 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
357 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
358 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
359 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
360 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
361 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
362 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
363
3644.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
3 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async. 365 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
4 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in 366 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
5 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses 367 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
6 even when the calling env acts stupidly. 368 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
7 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well. 369 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
