105.29 11 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton did not work when dns resolution was
12 used to find the addresses (analyzed and patch by Maxime Soulé).
13 - fix a memory leak in the /etc/hosts lookup code when hosts don't
14 resolve and are not in hosts (analyzed by sten).
15
167.02 Tue Aug 14 04:27:58 CEST 2012
17 - AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd could block indefinitely (analyzed and test
18 program by Yorhel).
19 - verified that AnyEvent::Socket follows RFC5952.
20 - try to parse "ADDR#PORT" in addition to "ADDR PORT".
21
227.01 Sun May 13 01:03:17 CEST 2012
23 - fail with EPROTO in AnyEvent::Handle wqhen TLS is requested but
24 not available, instead of throwing an exception.
25 - use File::Spec to get the tmpdir in t/*, to avoid needless
26 failures on (most, not mine :) windows boxes.
27 - new handle read types: tls_detect and tls_autostart.
28
297.0 Fri Apr 13 06:33:30 CEST 2012
30 - child watchers are broken in POE 1.352 (also many earlier
31 versions) and there seems to be no way to work around it, as POE
32 itself is inherently racy. Document this regression and add a delay
33 in t/68_poe_03_child.t for the time being.
34 - new module AnyEvent::IO, that is a frontend to either a pure-perl
35 synchronous I/O implementation (AnyEvent::IO::Perl), or to the
36 asynchronous I/O extension IO::AIO (AnyEvent::IO::IOAIO).
37 - load /etc/hosts only when DNS has no answer.
38 - stat /etc/hosts on every access and reload it if it changed.
39 - load /etc/hosts via AnyEvent::IO - potentially asynchronous.
40 - fix a buggy croak in the dh parameter reading in AnyEvent::TLS.
41 - AnyEvent::Log log_to_file and log_to_path now use AnyEvent::IO. As
42 a side effect, they now use true appending as opposed to libc
43 appending, and the file might not have been opened when the function
44 returns.
45 - the default logging level was not properly documented in a variety of
46 places, this has hopefully been rectified.
47 - updated uts46data.pl for unicode 6.1.0.
48 - made log messages generated by AnyEvent submodules not
49 include the package name anymore, as it will be logged
50 by default already.
51 - upgrade to the trick used by common-sense 3.5 to work
52 around extra warning torture/breakage under perl 5.15.x.
53 - log messages by anyevent are now ucfirst, are usually full
54 sentences and do no longer include the package name.
55 - the storable read type would sometimes throw an exception instead
56 of causing EBADMSG (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
57 - work around a bug in openssl 1.0.1 which enforces a minimum rsa
58 keysize (reported by Paul Howarth).
59 - documented Rocco fabricating statements about AnyEvent and me.
60
616.14 Tue Jan 31 20:00:24 CET 2012
62 - AnyEvent::Impl::Tk was broken due to a mysterious "die" inside,
63 probably an editing mistake (reported by Darin McBride).
64
656.13 Thu Jan 12 07:27:01 CET 2012
66 - AnyEvent::Util::fork_call checked for POSIX availability in the wrong way,
67 causing it to fail if POSIX wasn't loaded already (analysed by Rock Power).
68 - AnyEvent::Handle::push_read (line => did pass $1 directly, so
69 regex-matching inside the callback would change the parameter, despite
70 $1 being dynamically scoped per-block. this perl bug is now being
71 worked around (testcase by Cindy Wang).
72
736.12 Mon Dec 12 13:21:10 CET 2011
74 - $! was clobbered by subsequent calls in tcp_connect, due to
75 the postpone not saving/restoring it (analyzed by Richard Garnish).
76
776.11 Tue Nov 22 10:36:05 CET 2011
78 - Tk cannot create windows when tainted unless you set a title, so
79 set a dummy title for AnyEvent's dummy mainwindow. How dummy.
80 - escape any nonprintable/nonascii characters when stringifying
81 backtraces.
82 - log the reason loading an interface module fails to load at level debug.
83
846.1 Tue Oct 4 19:44:30 CEST 2011
85 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
86 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
87 to higher log levels to print by default.
88 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
89 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
90 how that module sucks.
91 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
92 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
93 of 127.0.0.1).
94 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
95 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
96 - AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to.
97 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
98 intervals.
99 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
100 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
101 which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
102 delivery.
103 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
104 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
105 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
106 of the context as title.
107 - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback
108 died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging...
109 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
110 to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
111 to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
112 attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
113 AnyEvent.
114
1156.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
116 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
117 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
118 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
119 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
120 to work around.
121 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
122
1236.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011
124 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
125 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
126 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
127 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
128 AnyEvent::Socket.
129 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
130 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
131 methods.
132 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
133 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
134 - DEPRECIATION: please change
135 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
136 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
137 in your programs, for future compatibility.
138 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
139 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
140 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
141 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
142 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
143 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
144 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
145 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
146 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
147 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
148 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
149 a debug shell.
150 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
151 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
152 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
153 /etc/hosts can be found.
154 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
155 configuration.
156 - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
157 PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
158 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
159 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications of $_ by the callback
160 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
161 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
162 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
163 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
164 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
165 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
166 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
167 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
168 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
169 supports /etc/hosts overrides.
170 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
171 and (newly introduced) in POE.
172 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
173 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
174 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
175 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
176 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
177 (reported by Gerald Galster).
178 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
179 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
180 do not support blocking waits.
181 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
182 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
183 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
184 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
185 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
186 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
187 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
188 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
189 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
190 - suppress the idiotic warning inside POE by patching the POE::Kernel
191 run flags instead of asking the user to jump through contortions.
192 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
193 - replace PF_UNSPEC by 0, for good old minix.
194
1956.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)
196
1975.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
198 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
199 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
200 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
201
2025.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
203 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
204 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
205 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
206 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
207 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
208 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
209 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
210 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
211 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
212 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
213 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
214 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
215 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
216
2175.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
218 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
219 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
220 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
221 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
222 documentation for caveats.
223 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
224 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
225 AnyEvent::Handle).
226 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
227 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
228
2295.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
230 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
231 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
232 the availabilty of a default loop!
233 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
234 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
235 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
236 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
237 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
238 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
239 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
240 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
241
2425.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
11 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API. 243 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
12 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add 244 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
13 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048. 245 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
246 - 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. 247 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
15 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle. 248 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
249 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
16 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid. 250 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
251 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
17 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent 252 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
18 as part of the perl core. 253 as part of the perl core.
19 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8. 254 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
20 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a 255 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
21 minimal perl...). 256 minimal perl...).
