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 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
20
215.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
22 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
23 actually used in tcp_server.
24 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
25 missing.
26 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
27 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
28 resulting in more informative error messages.
29 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
30 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
31 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
32 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
33 of AnyEvent::TLS.
34 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
35 requested by Ron Isaacson.
36 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
37 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
38 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
39 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
40 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
41
425.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
43 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
44
455.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
46 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
47 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
48 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
49 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
50 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
51 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
52 - better/more condvar examples.
53
545.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
55 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
56 time (found by Andy Grundman).
57
585.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
59 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
60 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
61 by Bas Denissen).
62 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
63 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
64 EV and Perl backends.
65 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
66 backends.
67 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
68 never documented nor universally supported).
69 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
70 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
71
725.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
73 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
74 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
75 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
76
775.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
78 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
79 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
80 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
81 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
82 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
83 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
84 by lucky accident on win32.
85 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
86 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
87 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
88 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
89 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
90 detection and eval.
91 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
92 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
93 (same algorithm as EV).
94 - update unicode idna mapping table.
95
965.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
97 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
98 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
99 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
100 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
101
1025.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
103 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
104 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
105 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
106 - provide $AE::VERSION.
107 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
108
1095.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
110 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
111 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
112 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
113 when passing scalar data to extensions).
114 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
115 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
116 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
117 (John Beppu).
118 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
119 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
120 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
121 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
122
1235.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
124 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
125 (spotted by David Friedland).
126 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
127 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
128 unless you rip out everything but the core).
129 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
130 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
131
1325.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
133 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
134 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
135 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
136 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
137 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
138
1395.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
140 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
141 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
142 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
143 (analysed by elmex).
144
1455.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
146 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
147 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
148 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
149 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
150 AnyEvent::Handle.
151 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
152 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
153 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
154 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
155
1565.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
157 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
158 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
159 by Michael S. Fischer).
160 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
161 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
162 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
163 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
164 by default.
165 - fix some prototypes.
166 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
167 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
168
1695.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
170 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
171 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
172 - port to broken win32 perls.
173
1745.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
175 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
176 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
177 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
178 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
179 OSes as well).
180
1815.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
182 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
183 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
184 to reduce dependency on JSON.
185
1865.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
187 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
188 one (was broken since 4.91).
189 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
190 when retrying a tcp_connect.
191 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
192 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
193
1945.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
195 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
196
1975.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
198 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
199 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
200 in AnyEvent::Handle.
201 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
202 settings.
203 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
204 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
205 exporting the probe function).
206 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
207 code to work around it's watcher limits.
208 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
209 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
210 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
211 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
212 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
213
2144.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
215 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
216 already contains some TLS handshake.
217 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
218 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
219 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
220 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
221 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
222
2234.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
224 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
225 a negative value, so avoid that.
226 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
227 after the condition is already signalled.
228 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
229 data.
230 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
231 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
232 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
233 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
234 any issues).
235 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
236 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
237 by name (not name or number).
238 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
239 only compiling signal code when necessary.
240 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
241 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
242 said future/alternative API.
243 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
244
2454.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
246 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
247 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
248 (analysed by elmex).
249
2504.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
251 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
252 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
253 for errors after every push_write etc.
254 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
255 platforms.
256
2574.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
6 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh. 258 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
7 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply 259 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
8 segfault in Net::SSLeay. 260 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
261 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
262 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
263 tutorial accordingly.
264 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.

104.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009 2664.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
11 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document 267 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
12 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure. 268 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
