7
8 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
9 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
10 the availabilty of a default loop!
11 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
12 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
13 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
14 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
15 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
16 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
17 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
18 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
19
205.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
21 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
22 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
23 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
24 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
25 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
26 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
27 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
28 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
29 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
30 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
31 as part of the perl core.
32 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
33 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
34 minimal perl...).
35
365.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
37 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
38 actually used in tcp_server.
39 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
40 missing.
41 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
42 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
43 resulting in more informative error messages.
44 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
45 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
46 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
47 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
48 of AnyEvent::TLS.
49 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
50 requested by Ron Isaacson.
51 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
52 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
53 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
54 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
55 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
56
575.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
58 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
59
605.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
61 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
62 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
63 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
64 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
65 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
66 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
67 - better/more condvar examples.
68
695.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
70 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
71 time (found by Andy Grundman).
72
735.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
74 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
75 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
76 by Bas Denissen).
77 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
78 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
79 EV and Perl backends.
80 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
81 backends.
82 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
83 never documented nor universally supported).
84 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
85 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
86
875.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
88 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
89 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
90 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
91
925.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
93 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
94 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
95 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
96 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
97 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
98 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
99 by lucky accident on win32.
100 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
101 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
102 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
103 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
104 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
105 detection and eval.
106 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
107 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
108 (same algorithm as EV).
109 - update unicode idna mapping table.
110
1115.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
112 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
113 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
114 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
115 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
116
1175.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
118 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
119 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
120 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
121 - provide $AE::VERSION.
122 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
123
1245.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
125 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
126 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
127 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
128 when passing scalar data to extensions).
129 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
130 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
131 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
132 (John Beppu).
133 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
134 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
135 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
136 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
137
1385.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
139 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
140 (spotted by David Friedland).
141 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
142 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
143 unless you rip out everything but the core).
144 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
145 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
146
1475.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
148 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
149 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
150 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
151 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
152 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
153
1545.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
155 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
156 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
157 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
158 (analysed by elmex).
159
1605.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
161 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
162 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
163 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
164 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
165 AnyEvent::Handle.
166 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
167 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
168 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
169 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
170
1715.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
172 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
173 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
174 by Michael S. Fischer).
175 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
176 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
177 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
178 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
179 by default.
180 - fix some prototypes.
181 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
182 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
183
1845.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
185 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
186 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
187 - port to broken win32 perls.
188
1895.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
190 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
191 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
192 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
193 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
194 OSes as well).
195
1965.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
197 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
198 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
199 to reduce dependency on JSON.
200
2015.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
202 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
203 one (was broken since 4.91).
204 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
205 when retrying a tcp_connect.
206 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
207 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
208
2095.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
210 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
211
2125.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
213 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
214 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
215 in AnyEvent::Handle.
216 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
217 settings.
218 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
219 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
220 exporting the probe function).
221 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
222 code to work around it's watcher limits.
223 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
224 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
225 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
226 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
227 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
228
2294.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
230 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
231 already contains some TLS handshake.
232 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
233 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
234 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
235 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
236 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
237
2384.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
239 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
240 a negative value, so avoid that.
241 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
242 after the condition is already signalled.
243 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
244 data.
245 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
246 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
247 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
248 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
249 any issues).
250 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
251 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
252 by name (not name or number).
253 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
254 only compiling signal code when necessary.
255 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
256 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
257 said future/alternative API.
258 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
259
2604.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
261 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
262 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
263 (analysed by elmex).
264
2654.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
266 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
267 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
268 for errors after every push_write etc.
269 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
270 platforms.
271
2724.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
273 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
274 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
275 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
276 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
277 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
278 tutorial accordingly.
279 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
280
2814.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
282 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
283 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
284 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
285 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
286 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
287 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
288 in IO::Async.
289
2904.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
291 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
292 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
293 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
294 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
295 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
296 documentation.
297 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
298 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
299 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
300 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
301 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
302 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
303
3044.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
305 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
306 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
307 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
308 this trap.
309 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
310 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
311 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
312 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
313 on_read callbacks.
314 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
315
3164.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
317 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
318 callbacks.
319 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
320 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
321 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
322 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
323 Event::Lib.
324 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
325 to rarely fail.
326
3274.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
328 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
329 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
330 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
331 in AnyEvent->io.
332 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
333 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
334 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
335 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
336 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
337 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
338 portable_socketpair.
339 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
340 YMMV.
341
3424.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
343 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
344 uppercase targets.
345 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
346 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
347 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
348 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
349 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
350 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
351 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
352 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
353 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
354 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
355 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
356 in the common case.
357 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
358 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
359 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
360 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
361 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
362 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
363 from the constructor.
364 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
365 then fall back to JSON.
366 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
367 and because it was documented that way.
368
3694.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
370 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
371 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
372
3734.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
374 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
375 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
376 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
377 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
378 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
379 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
380 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
381 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
382 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
383
3844.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
385 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
386 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
387 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
388 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
389 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
390
3914.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
392 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
393 and set it on the default resolver.
394 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
395 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
396 when running in tainted mode.
397 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
398
3994.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
400 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
