115.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
12 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
13 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
14 the availabilty of a default loop!
15 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
16 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
17 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
18 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
19 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
20 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
21 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
22 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
23
245.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
25 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
26 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
27 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
28 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
29 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
30 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
31 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
32 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
33 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
34 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
35 as part of the perl core.
36 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
37 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
38 minimal perl...).
39
405.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
41 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
42 actually used in tcp_server.
43 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
44 missing.
45 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
46 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
47 resulting in more informative error messages.
48 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
49 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
50 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
51 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
52 of AnyEvent::TLS.
53 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
54 requested by Ron Isaacson.
55 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
56 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
57 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
58 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
59 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
60
615.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
62 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
63
645.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
65 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
66 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
67 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
68 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
69 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
70 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
71 - better/more condvar examples.
72
735.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
74 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
75 time (found by Andy Grundman).
76
775.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
78 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
79 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
80 by Bas Denissen).
81 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
82 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
83 EV and Perl backends.
84 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
85 backends.
86 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
87 never documented nor universally supported).
88 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
89 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
90
915.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
92 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
93 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
94 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
95
965.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
97 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
98 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
99 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
100 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
101 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
102 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
103 by lucky accident on win32.
104 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
105 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
106 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
107 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
108 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
109 detection and eval.
110 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
111 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
112 (same algorithm as EV).
113 - update unicode idna mapping table.
114
1155.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
116 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
117 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
118 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
119 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
120
1215.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
122 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
123 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
124 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
125 - provide $AE::VERSION.
126 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
127
1285.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
129 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
130 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
131 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
132 when passing scalar data to extensions).
133 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
134 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
135 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
136 (John Beppu).
137 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
138 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
139 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
140 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
141
1425.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
143 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
144 (spotted by David Friedland).
145 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
146 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
147 unless you rip out everything but the core).
148 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
149 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
150
1515.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
152 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
153 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
154 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
155 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
156 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
157
1585.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
159 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
160 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
161 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
162 (analysed by elmex).
163
1645.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
165 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
166 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
167 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
168 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
169 AnyEvent::Handle.
170 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
171 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
172 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
173 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
174
1755.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
176 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
177 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
178 by Michael S. Fischer).
179 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
180 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
181 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
182 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
183 by default.
184 - fix some prototypes.
185 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
186 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
187
1885.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
189 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
190 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
191 - port to broken win32 perls.
192
1935.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
194 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
195 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
196 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
197 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
198 OSes as well).
199
2005.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
201 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
202 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
203 to reduce dependency on JSON.
204
2055.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
206 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
207 one (was broken since 4.91).
208 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
209 when retrying a tcp_connect.
210 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
211 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
212
2135.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
214 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
215
2165.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
217 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
218 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
219 in AnyEvent::Handle.
220 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
221 settings.
222 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
223 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
224 exporting the probe function).
225 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
226 code to work around it's watcher limits.
227 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
228 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
229 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
230 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
231 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
232
2334.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
234 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
235 already contains some TLS handshake.
236 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
237 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
238 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
239 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
240 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
241
2424.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
243 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
244 a negative value, so avoid that.
245 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
246 after the condition is already signalled.
247 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
248 data.
249 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
250 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
251 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
252 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
253 any issues).
254 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
255 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
256 by name (not name or number).
257 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
258 only compiling signal code when necessary.
259 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
260 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
261 said future/alternative API.
262 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
263
2644.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
265 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
266 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
267 (analysed by elmex).
268
2694.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
270 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
271 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
272 for errors after every push_write etc.
273 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
274 platforms.
275
2764.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
6 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh. 277 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
7 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply 278 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply

9 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters 280 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
10 connetc, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). 281 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
282 tutorial accordingly.
11 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend. 283 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.

134.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009 2854.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
14 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document 286 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
15 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure. 287 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
