10 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
11 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
12 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
13 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
14 AnyEvent::Socket.
15 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
16 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
17 methods.
18 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
19 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
20 - DEPRECIATION: please change
21 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
22 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
23 in your programs, for future compatibility.
24 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
25 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
26 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
27 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
28 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
29 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
30 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
31 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
32 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
33 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
34 a debug shell.
35 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
36 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
37 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
38 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications $_ by the callback
39 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
40 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
41 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
42 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
43 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
44 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
45 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
46 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
47 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
48 and (newly introduced) in POE.
49 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
50 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
51 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
52 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
53 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
54 (reported by Gerald Galster).
55 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
56 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
57 do not support blocking waits.
58 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
59 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
60 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
61 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
62 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
63 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
64 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
65 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
66 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
67 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
68
696.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)
70
715.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
72 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
73 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
74 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
75
765.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
77 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
78 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
79 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
80 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
81 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
82 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
83 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
84 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
85 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
86 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
87 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
88 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
89 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
90
915.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
92 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
93 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
94 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
95 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
96 documentation for caveats.
97 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
98 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
99 AnyEvent::Handle).
100 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
101 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
102
1035.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
104 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
105 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
106 the availabilty of a default loop!
107 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
108 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
109 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
110 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
111 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
112 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
113 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
114 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
115
1165.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
11 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API. 117 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
12 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add 118 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
13 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048. 119 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
120 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
14 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle. 121 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
15 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle. 122 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
123 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
16 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid. 124 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
125 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
17 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent 126 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
18 as part of the perl core. 127 as part of the perl core.
19 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8. 128 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
20 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a 129 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
21 minimal perl...). 130 minimal perl...).
