3ZERO_RETURN - stoptls? 3TODO: document TCP_*** constants
4TODO: catch AE::xxx for anyevent strict and anyevent debug
5TODO: anyevent::trace? or debug tracing all watchers?
6TODO: anyevent strict checking for $_ changes?
7
8TODO: wbuf_max for anyevent
9TODO: fix with the rest: POE + IO::Async? No go. Tk + Event? No go. Again: if
10TODO: ioasync stuff
11TODO: install arch-dependen constants.pl in some arch-dependend path. somehow.
12 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
13 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
14 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
15 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
16
175.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
18 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
19 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
20 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
21 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
22 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
23 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
24 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
25 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
26 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
27 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
28 as part of the perl core.
29 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
30 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
31 minimal perl...).
32
335.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
34 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
35 actually used in tcp_server.
36 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
37 missing.
38 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
39 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
40 resulting in more informative error messages.
41 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
42 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
43 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
44 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
45 of AnyEvent::TLS.
46 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
47 requested by Ron Isaacson.
48 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
49 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
50 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
51 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
52 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
53
545.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
55 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
56
575.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
58 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
59 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
60 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
61 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
62 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
63 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
64 - better/more condvar examples.
65
665.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
67 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
68 time (found by Andy Grundman).
69
705.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
71 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
72 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
73 by Bas Denissen).
74 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
75 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
76 EV and Perl backends.
77 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
78 backends.
79 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
80 never documented nor universally supported).
81 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
82 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
83
845.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
85 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
86 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
87 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
88
895.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
90 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
91 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
92 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
93 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
94 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
95 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
96 by lucky accident on win32.
97 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
98 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
99 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
100 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
101 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
102 detection and eval.
103 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
104 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
105 (same algorithm as EV).
106 - update unicode idna mapping table.
107
1085.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
109 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
110 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
111 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
112 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
113
1145.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
115 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
116 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
117 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
118 - provide $AE::VERSION.
119 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
120
1215.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
122 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
123 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
124 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
125 when passing scalar data to extensions).
126 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
127 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
128 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
129 (John Beppu).
130 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
131 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
132 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
133 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
134
1355.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
136 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
137 (spotted by David Friedland).
138 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
139 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
140 unless you rip out everything but the core).
141 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
142 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
143
1445.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
145 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
146 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
147 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
148 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
149 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
150
1515.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
152 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
153 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
154 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
155 (analysed by elmex).
156
1575.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
158 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
159 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
160 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
161 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
162 AnyEvent::Handle.
163 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
164 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
165 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
166 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
167
1685.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
169 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
170 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
171 by Michael S. Fischer).
172 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
173 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
174 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
175 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
176 by default.
177 - fix some prototypes.
178 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
179 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
180
1815.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
182 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
183 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
184 - port to broken win32 perls.
185
1865.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
187 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
188 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
189 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
190 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
191 OSes as well).
192
1935.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
194 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
195 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
196 to reduce dependency on JSON.
197
1985.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
199 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
200 one (was broken since 4.91).
201 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
202 when retrying a tcp_connect.
203 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
204 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
205
2065.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
207 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
208
2095.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
210 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
211 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
212 in AnyEvent::Handle.
213 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
214 settings.
215 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
216 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
217 exporting the probe function).
218 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
219 code to work around it's watcher limits.
220 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
221 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
222 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
223 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
224 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
225
2264.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
227 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
228 already contains some TLS handshake.
229 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
230 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
231 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
232 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
233 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
234
2354.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
236 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
237 a negative value, so avoid that.
238 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
239 after the condition is already signalled.
240 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
241 data.
242 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
243 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
244 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
245 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
246 any issues).
247 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
248 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
249 by name (not name or number).
250 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
251 only compiling signal code when necessary.
252 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
253 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
254 said future/alternative API.
255 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
256
2574.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
258 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
259 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
260 (analysed by elmex).
261
2624.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
263 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
264 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
265 for errors after every push_write etc.
266 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
267 platforms.
268
2694.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
270 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
271 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
272 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
273 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
274 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
275 tutorial accordingly.
276 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
277
2784.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
279 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
280 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
281 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
282 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
283 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
284 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
285 in IO::Async.
286
2874.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
288 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
289 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
290 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
291 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
292 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
293 documentation.
294 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
295 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
296 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
297 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
298 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
299 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
300
3014.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
302 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
303 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
304 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
305 this trap.
306 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
307 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
308 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
309 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
310 on_read callbacks.
311 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
312
3134.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
314 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
315 callbacks.
316 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
317 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
318 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
319 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
320 Event::Lib.
321 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
322 to rarely fail.
323
3244.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
325 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
326 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
327 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
328 in AnyEvent->io.
329 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
330 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
331 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
332 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
333 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
334 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
335 portable_socketpair.
336 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
337 YMMV.
338
3394.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
4 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with 340 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
5 uppercase targets. 341 uppercase targets.

8 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception. 344 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
1514.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008 4874.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
