11TODO: install arch-dependen constants.pl in some arch-dependend path. somehow. 14TODO: maybe implement env variable to give hosts precedence
15 - uts46data.pl couldn't be found due to wrong naming of the file
16 (reported by Fulko Hew).
17 - expose AnyEvent::Log::format_time, and allow users to redefine it.
18 - expose AnyEvent::Log::default_format, and allow redefinition.
19 - expose AnyEvent::Log::fatal_exit, to allow redefinition.
20 - AnyEvent::Debug shell can now run coro shell commands, if available.
21 - t/63* tests were wrongly in MANIFEST.
22 - mention IO::AIO as optional dependency.
23 - kernel.org's finger server went MIA, switch to freebsd.org and
24 icculus.org.
25 - handle lone \015's properly in AE::Handle's default line read
26 (reported by various people).
27 - hard-disable $^W in most tests, it generates too much garbage output.
28 - use a (hopefully) more future-proof method to emulate common::sense.
29 - upgrade to UTS-46:6.2.0.
30
317.04 Thu Nov 15 02:23:58 CET 2012
32 - debugging code left in.
33
347.03 Thu Nov 15 02:16:11 CET 2012
35 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton did not work when dns resolution was
36 used to find the addresses (analyzed and patch by Maxime Soulé).
37 - fix a memory leak in the /etc/hosts lookup code when hosts don't
38 resolve and are not in hosts (analyzed by sten).
39
407.02 Tue Aug 14 04:27:58 CEST 2012
41 - AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd could block indefinitely (analyzed and test
42 program by Yorhel).
43 - verified that AnyEvent::Socket follows RFC5952.
44 - try to parse "ADDR#PORT" in addition to "ADDR PORT".
45
467.01 Sun May 13 01:03:17 CEST 2012
47 - fail with EPROTO in AnyEvent::Handle wqhen TLS is requested but
48 not available, instead of throwing an exception.
49 - use File::Spec to get the tmpdir in t/*, to avoid needless
50 failures on (most, not mine :) windows boxes.
51 - new handle read types: tls_detect and tls_autostart.
52
537.0 Fri Apr 13 06:33:30 CEST 2012
54 - child watchers are broken in POE 1.352 (also many earlier
55 versions) and there seems to be no way to work around it, as POE
56 itself is inherently racy. Document this regression and add a delay
57 in t/68_poe_03_child.t for the time being.
58 - new module AnyEvent::IO, that is a frontend to either a pure-perl
59 synchronous I/O implementation (AnyEvent::IO::Perl), or to the
60 asynchronous I/O extension IO::AIO (AnyEvent::IO::IOAIO).
61 - load /etc/hosts only when DNS has no answer.
62 - stat /etc/hosts on every access and reload it if it changed.
63 - load /etc/hosts via AnyEvent::IO - potentially asynchronous.
64 - fix a buggy croak in the dh parameter reading in AnyEvent::TLS.
65 - AnyEvent::Log log_to_file and log_to_path now use AnyEvent::IO. As
66 a side effect, they now use true appending as opposed to libc
67 appending, and the file might not have been opened when the function
68 returns.
69 - the default logging level was not properly documented in a variety of
70 places, this has hopefully been rectified.
71 - updated uts46data.pl for unicode 6.1.0.
72 - made log messages generated by AnyEvent submodules not
73 include the package name anymore, as it will be logged
74 by default already.
75 - upgrade to the trick used by common-sense 3.5 to work
76 around extra warning torture/breakage under perl 5.15.x.
77 - log messages by anyevent are now ucfirst, are usually full
78 sentences and do no longer include the package name.
79 - the storable read type would sometimes throw an exception instead
80 of causing EBADMSG (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
81 - work around a bug in openssl 1.0.1 which enforces a minimum rsa
82 keysize (reported by Paul Howarth).
83 - documented Rocco fabricating statements about AnyEvent and me.
84
856.14 Tue Jan 31 20:00:24 CET 2012
86 - AnyEvent::Impl::Tk was broken due to a mysterious "die" inside,
87 probably an editing mistake (reported by Darin McBride).
88
896.13 Thu Jan 12 07:27:01 CET 2012
90 - AnyEvent::Util::fork_call checked for POSIX availability in the wrong way,
91 causing it to fail if POSIX wasn't loaded already (analysed by Rock Power).
92 - AnyEvent::Handle::push_read (line => did pass $1 directly, so
93 regex-matching inside the callback would change the parameter, despite
94 $1 being dynamically scoped per-block. this perl bug is now being
95 worked around (testcase by Cindy Wang).
96
976.12 Mon Dec 12 13:21:10 CET 2011
98 - $! was clobbered by subsequent calls in tcp_connect, due to
99 the postpone not saving/restoring it (analyzed by Richard Garnish).
100
1016.11 Tue Nov 22 10:36:05 CET 2011
102 - Tk cannot create windows when tainted unless you set a title, so
103 set a dummy title for AnyEvent's dummy mainwindow. How dummy.
104 - escape any nonprintable/nonascii characters when stringifying
105 backtraces.
106 - log the reason loading an interface module fails to load at level debug.
107
1086.1 Tue Oct 4 19:44:30 CEST 2011
109 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
110 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
111 to higher log levels to print by default.
112 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
113 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
114 how that module sucks.
115 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
116 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
117 of 127.0.0.1).
118 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
119 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
120 - AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to.
121 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
122 intervals.
123 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
124 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
125 which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
126 delivery.
127 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
128 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
129 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
130 of the context as title.
131 - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback
132 died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging...
133 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
134 to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
135 to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
136 attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
137 AnyEvent.
138
1396.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
140 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
141 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
142 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
143 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
144 to work around.
145 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
146
1476.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011
148 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
149 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
150 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
151 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
152 AnyEvent::Socket.
153 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
154 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
155 methods.
156 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
157 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
158 - DEPRECIATION: please change
159 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
160 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
161 in your programs, for future compatibility.
162 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
163 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
164 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
165 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
166 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
167 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
168 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
169 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
170 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
171 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
172 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
173 a debug shell.
174 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
175 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
176 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
177 /etc/hosts can be found.
178 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
179 configuration.
180 - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
181 PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
182 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
183 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications of $_ by the callback
184 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
185 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
186 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
187 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
188 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
189 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
190 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
191 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
192 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
193 supports /etc/hosts overrides.
194 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
195 and (newly introduced) in POE.
196 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
197 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
198 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
199 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
200 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
201 (reported by Gerald Galster).
202 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
203 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
204 do not support blocking waits.
205 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
206 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
207 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
208 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
209 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
210 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
211 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
212 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
213 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
214 - suppress the idiotic warning inside POE by patching the POE::Kernel
215 run flags instead of asking the user to jump through contortions.
216 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
217 - replace PF_UNSPEC by 0, for good old minix.
218
2196.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)
220
2215.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
222 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
223 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
224 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
225
2265.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
227 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
228 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
229 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
230 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
231 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
232 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
233 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
234 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
235 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
236 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
237 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
238 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
239 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
240
2415.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
242 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
243 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
244 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
245 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
246 documentation for caveats.
247 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
248 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
249 AnyEvent::Handle).
250 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
251 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
252
2535.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
254 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
255 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
256 the availabilty of a default loop!
257 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
258 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
259 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
260 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
12 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd, 261 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
13 to avoid leaking them to any child processes. 262 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
14 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the 263 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
15 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it. 264 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
