105.29
11 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API.
12 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
13 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
14 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
15 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
16 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
17 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
18 as part of the perl core.
19
205.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
21 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
22 actually used in tcp_server.
23 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
24 missing.
25 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
26 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
27 resulting in more informative error messages.
28 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
29 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
30 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
31 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
32 of AnyEvent::TLS.
33 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
34 requested by Ron Isaacson.
35 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
36 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
37 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
38 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
39 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
40
415.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
42 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
43
445.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
45 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
46 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
47 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
48 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
49 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
50 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
51 - better/more condvar examples.
52
535.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
54 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
55 time (found by Andy Grundman).
56
575.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
58 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
59 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
60 by Bas Denissen).
61 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
62 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
63 EV and Perl backends.
64 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
65 backends.
66 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
67 never documented nor universally supported).
68 - some more memory µ-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
69 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
70
715.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
72 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
73 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
74 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
75
765.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
77 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
78 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
79 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
80 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
81 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
82 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
83 by lucky accident on win32.
84 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
85 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
86 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
87 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
88 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
89 detection and eval.
90 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
91 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
92 (same algorithm as EV).
93 - update unicode idna mapping table.
94
955.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
96 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
97 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
98 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
99 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
100
1015.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
102 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
103 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
104 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
105 - provide $AE::VERSION.
106 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
107
1085.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
109 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
110 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
111 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
112 when passing scalar data to extensions).
113 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
114 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
115 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
116 (John Beppu).
117 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
118 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
119 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
120 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
121
1225.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
123 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
124 (spotted by David Friedland).
125 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
126 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
127 unless you rip out everything but the core).
128 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
129 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
130
1315.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
132 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
133 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
134 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
135 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
136 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
137
1385.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
139 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
140 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
141 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
142 (analysed by elmex).
143
1445.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
145 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
146 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
147 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
148 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
149 AnyEvent::Handle.
150 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
151 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
152 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
153 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
154
1555.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
156 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
157 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
158 by Michael S. Fischer).
159 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
160 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
161 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
162 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
163 by default.
164 - fix some prototypes.
165 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
166 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
167
1685.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
169 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
170 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
171 - port to broken win32 perls.
172
1735.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
174 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
175 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
176 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
177 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
178 OSes as well).
179
1805.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
181 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
182 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
183 to reduce dependency on JSON.
184
1855.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
186 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
187 one (was broken since 4.91).
188 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
189 when retrying a tcp_connect.
190 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
191 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
192
1935.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
194 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
195
1965.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
197 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
198 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
199 in AnyEvent::Handle.
200 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
201 settings.
202 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
203 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
204 exporting the probe function).
205 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
206 code to work around it's watcher limits.
207 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
208 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
209 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
210 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
211 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
212
2134.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
214 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
215 already contains some TLS handshake.
216 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
217 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
218 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
219 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
220 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
221
2224.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
223 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
224 a negative value, so avoid that.
225 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
226 after the condition is already signalled.
227 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
228 data.
229 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
230 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
231 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
232 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
233 any issues).
234 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
235 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
236 by name (not name or number).
237 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
238 only compiling signal code when necessary.
239 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
240 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
241 said future/alternative API.
242 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
243
2444.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
245 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
246 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
247 (analysed by elmex).
248
2494.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
250 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
251 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
252 for errors after every push_write etc.
253 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
254 platforms.
255
2564.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
257 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
258 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
259 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
260 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
261 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
262 tutorial accordingly.
263 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
264
2654.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
266 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
267 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
268 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
269 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
270 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
271 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
272 in IO::Async.
273
2744.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
275 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
276 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
277 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
278 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
279 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
280 documentation.
281 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
282 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
283 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
284 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
285 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
286 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
287
2884.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
289 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
290 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
291 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
292 this trap.
293 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
294 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
295 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
296 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
297 on_read callbacks.
298 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
299
3004.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
301 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
302 callbacks.
303 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
304 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
305 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
306 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
307 Event::Lib.
308 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
309 to rarely fail.
310
3114.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
312 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
313 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
314 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
315 in AnyEvent->io.
316 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
317 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
318 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
319 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
320 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
321 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
322 portable_socketpair.
323 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
324 YMMV.
325
3264.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
327 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
328 uppercase targets.
329 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
330 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
331 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
332 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
333 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
334 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
335 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
336 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
337 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
338 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
339 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
340 in the common case.
341 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
342 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
343 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
344 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
345 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
346 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
347 from the constructor.
348 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
349 then fall back to JSON.
350 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
351 and because it was documented that way.
352
3534.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
354 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
355 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
356
3574.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
358 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
359 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
360 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
361 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
362 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
363 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
364 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
365 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
366 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
367
3684.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
369 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
370 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
371 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
372 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
373 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
374
3754.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
376 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
377 and set it on the default resolver.
378 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
379 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
380 when running in tainted mode.
381 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
382
3834.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
384 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
385
3864.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
387 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
388 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
389 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
390 destructors.
391 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
392 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
393 implementation.
394 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
395 for cosmetic reasons.
396
3974.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
398 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
399 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
400 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
401 - sped up Tk timer handling.
402 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
403 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
404 - fix Qt timers without interval.
405 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
406
4074.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
408 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
409 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
410 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
411
4124.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
413 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
414 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
415 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
416 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
417
4184.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
419 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
420 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
421 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
422 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
423 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
424 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
425 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
426 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
427 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
428 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
429 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
430
4314.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
432 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
433 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
434 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
435 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
436 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
437 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
438 backend.
439 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
440
4414.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
442 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
443 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
444 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
445 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
446 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
447 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
448
4494.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
450 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
451 illegal.
452 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
453 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
454 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
455 by Adam Rosenstein).
456 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
457 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
458 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
459
4604.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
461 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
462 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
463 the socket type.
464 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
465
4664.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
467 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
468 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
469 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
470 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
471 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
472 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
473
4744.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
475 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
476 unless one has been installed already.
477 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
478 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
479 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle.
480 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
481 client would first wait for some data by the server and
482 otherwise hang. (reported and analysed in an absolutely
483 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
484 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
485 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
486 (reported and analysed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
487 Rosenstein).
488 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
489 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
490 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
491 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
492 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
493 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
494 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
495 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
496 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
497 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
498 now, more to come, though.
499 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
500
5014.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
502 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
503 no trace events.
504 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
505 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
506 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
507 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
508 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
509 Time::HiRes).
510
5114.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
512 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
513 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
514
5154.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
516 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
517 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
518 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
519 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
520
5214.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
522 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
523 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
524 perls without resource leaks or worse).
525
5264.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
527 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
528 the callback.
529 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
530 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
531 eol marker.
532 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
533 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
534 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
535
5364.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
537 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
538 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
539 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
540 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
541 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
542
5434.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
544 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
545 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
546 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
547 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
548 unusable way.
549 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
550 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
551 K. Sharifulin).
552
5534.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
554 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
555 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
556 be delayed under some circumstances.
557 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
558 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
559 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
560 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
561 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
562 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
563
5644.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
565 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
566 assumption that all data could be written before read
567 (reported by Jim Razmus).
568
5694.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
570 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
571 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
572 implementation (also affected child watchers).
573 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
574
5754.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
576 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
577 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
578 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
579
5804.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
581 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
582 works.
583
5844.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
585 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
586 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
587 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
588 for AnyEvent::Handle.
589 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
590 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
591
5924.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
593 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
594 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
595 executing the guard block as warnings.
596 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
597
5984.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
599 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
600 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
601 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
602 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
603 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
604 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
605 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
606 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
607 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
608 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
609 enter an endless loop.
610 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
611 busy again after idling.
612 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
613 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
614 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
615 (hopefully).
616 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
617 away any time.
618
6194.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
620 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
621 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
622 - allow more options in on_error.
623
6244.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
