3TODO: document TCP_*** constants

5TODO: anyevent::trace? or debug tracing all watchers?

10 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
11 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
12
135.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
14 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
15 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
16 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
17 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
18 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
19 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
20 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
21 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
22 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
23 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
24 as part of the perl core.
25 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
26 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
27 minimal perl...).
28
295.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
30 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
31 actually used in tcp_server.
32 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
33 missing.
34 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
35 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
36 resulting in more informative error messages.
37 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
38 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
39 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
40 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
41 of AnyEvent::TLS.
42 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
43 requested by Ron Isaacson.
44 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
45 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
46 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
47 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
48 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
49
505.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
51 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
52
535.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
54 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
55 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
56 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
57 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
58 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
59 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
60 - better/more condvar examples.
61
625.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
63 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
64 time (found by Andy Grundman).
65
665.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
67 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
68 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
69 by Bas Denissen).
70 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
71 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
72 EV and Perl backends.
73 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
74 backends.
75 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
76 never documented nor universally supported).
77 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
78 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
79
805.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
81 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
82 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
83 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
84
855.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
86 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
87 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
88 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
89 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
90 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
91 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
92 by lucky accident on win32.
93 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
94 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
95 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
96 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
97 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
98 detection and eval.
99 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
100 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
101 (same algorithm as EV).
102 - update unicode idna mapping table.
103
1045.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
105 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
106 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
107 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
108 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
109
1105.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
111 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
112 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
113 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
114 - provide $AE::VERSION.
115 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
116
1175.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
118 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
119 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
120 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
121 when passing scalar data to extensions).
122 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
123 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
124 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
125 (John Beppu).
126 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
127 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
128 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
129 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
130
1315.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
132 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
133 (spotted by David Friedland).
134 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
135 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
136 unless you rip out everything but the core).
137 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
138 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
139
1405.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
141 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
142 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
143 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
144 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
145 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
146
1475.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
3 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken 148 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
4 (reported by Torsten Foertsch). 149 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
150 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
151 (analysed by elmex).
