9 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
10 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
11 documentation for caveats.
12 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set.
13
145.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
15 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
16 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
17 the availabilty of a default loop!
18 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
19 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
20 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
21 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
22 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
23 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
24 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
25 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
26
275.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
28 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
29 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
30 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
31 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
32 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
33 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
34 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
35 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
36 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
37 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
38 as part of the perl core.
39 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
40 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
41 minimal perl...).
42
435.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
44 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
45 actually used in tcp_server.
46 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
47 missing.
48 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
49 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
50 resulting in more informative error messages.
51 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
52 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
53 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
54 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
55 of AnyEvent::TLS.
56 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
57 requested by Ron Isaacson.
58 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
59 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
60 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
61 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
62 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
63
645.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
65 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
66
675.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
68 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
69 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
70 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
71 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
72 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
73 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
74 - better/more condvar examples.
75
765.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
77 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
78 time (found by Andy Grundman).
79
805.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
81 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
82 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
83 by Bas Denissen).
84 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
85 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
86 EV and Perl backends.
87 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
88 backends.
89 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
90 never documented nor universally supported).
91 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
92 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
93
945.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
95 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
96 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
97 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
98
995.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
100 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
101 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
102 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
103 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
104 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
105 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
106 by lucky accident on win32.
107 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
108 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
109 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
110 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
111 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
112 detection and eval.
113 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
114 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
115 (same algorithm as EV).
116 - update unicode idna mapping table.
117
1185.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
119 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
120 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
121 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
122 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
123
1245.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
125 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
126 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
127 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
128 - provide $AE::VERSION.
129 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
130
1315.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
132 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
133 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
134 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
135 when passing scalar data to extensions).
136 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
137 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
138 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
139 (John Beppu).
140 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
141 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
142 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
143 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
144
1455.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
146 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
147 (spotted by David Friedland).
148 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
149 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
150 unless you rip out everything but the core).
151 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
152 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
153
1545.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
155 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
156 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
157 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
158 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
159 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
160
1615.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
162 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
163 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
164 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
165 (analysed by elmex).
166
1675.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
168 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
169 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
170 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
171 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
172 AnyEvent::Handle.
173 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
174 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
175 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
176 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
177
1785.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
179 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
180 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
181 by Michael S. Fischer).
182 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
183 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
184 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
185 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
186 by default.
187 - fix some prototypes.
188 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
189 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
190
1915.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
192 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
193 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
194 - port to broken win32 perls.
195
1965.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
197 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
198 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
199 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
200 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
201 OSes as well).
202
2035.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
204 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
205 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
206 to reduce dependency on JSON.
207
2085.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
209 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
210 one (was broken since 4.91).
211 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
212 when retrying a tcp_connect.
213 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
214 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
215
2165.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
217 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
218
2195.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
220 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
221 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
222 in AnyEvent::Handle.
223 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
224 settings.
225 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
226 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
227 exporting the probe function).
228 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
229 code to work around it's watcher limits.
230 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
231 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
232 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
233 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
234 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
235
2364.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
237 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
238 already contains some TLS handshake.
6 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger 239 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
7 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster). 240 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
241 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
242 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
243 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
