5TODO: anyevent::trace? or debug tracing all watchers?
6TODO: anyevent strict checking for $_ changes?
7
8 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
9 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
10 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
11 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
12 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
13 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
14 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
15 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
16 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
17 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
18 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
19 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
20
215.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
22 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
23 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
24 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
25 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
26 documentation for caveats.
27 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
28 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
29 AnyEvent::Handle).
30 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
31 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
32
335.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
34 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
35 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
36 the availabilty of a default loop!
37 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
38 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
39 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
40 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
41 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
42 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
43 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
44 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
45
465.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
47 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
48 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
49 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
50 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
51 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
52 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
53 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
54 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
55 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
56 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
57 as part of the perl core.
58 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
59 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
60 minimal perl...).
61
625.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
63 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
64 actually used in tcp_server.
65 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
66 missing.
67 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
68 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
69 resulting in more informative error messages.
70 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
71 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
72 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
73 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
74 of AnyEvent::TLS.
75 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
76 requested by Ron Isaacson.
77 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
78 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
79 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
80 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
81 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
82
835.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
84 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
85
865.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
87 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
88 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
89 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
90 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
91 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
92 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
93 - better/more condvar examples.
94
955.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
96 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
97 time (found by Andy Grundman).
98
995.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
100 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
101 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
102 by Bas Denissen).
103 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
104 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
105 EV and Perl backends.
106 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
107 backends.
108 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
109 never documented nor universally supported).
110 - some more memory µ-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
111 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
112
1135.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
114 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
115 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
116 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
117
1185.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
119 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
120 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
121 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
122 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
123 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
124 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
125 by lucky accident on win32.
126 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
127 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
128 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
129 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
130 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
131 detection and eval.
132 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
133 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
134 (same algorithm as EV).
135 - update unicode idna mapping table.
136
1375.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
138 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
139 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
140 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
141 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
142
1435.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
144 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
145 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
146 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
147 - provide $AE::VERSION.
148 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
149
1505.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
151 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
152 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
153 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
154 when passing scalar data to extensions).
155 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
156 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
157 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
158 (John Beppu).
159 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
160 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
161 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
162 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
163
1645.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
165 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
166 (spotted by David Friedland).
167 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
168 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
169 unless you rip out everything but the core).
170 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
171 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
172
1735.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
174 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
175 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
176 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
177 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
178 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
179
1805.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
181 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
182 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
183 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
184 (analysed by elmex).
185
1865.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
187 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
188 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
189 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
190 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
191 AnyEvent::Handle.
192 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
193 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
194 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
195 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
196
1975.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
198 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
199 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
200 by Michael S. Fischer).
201 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
202 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
203 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
204 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
205 by default.
206 - fix some prototypes.
207 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
208 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
209
2105.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
211 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
212 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
213 - port to broken win32 perls.
214
2155.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
216 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
217 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
218 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
219 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
220 OSes as well).
221
2225.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
223 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
224 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
225 to reduce dependency on JSON.
226
2275.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
228 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
229 one (was broken since 4.91).
230 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
231 when retrying a tcp_connect.
232 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
233 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
234
2355.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
236 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
237
2385.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
239 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
240 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
241 in AnyEvent::Handle.
242 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
243 settings.
244 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
245 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
246 exporting the probe function).
247 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
248 code to work around it's watcher limits.
249 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
250 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
251 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
252 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
253 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
254
2554.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
256 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
257 already contains some TLS handshake.
258 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
259 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
260 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
261 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
262 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
263
2644.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
265 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
266 a negative value, so avoid that.
267 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
268 after the condition is already signalled.
269 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
270 data.
271 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
272 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
273 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
274 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
275 any issues).
276 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
277 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
278 by name (not name or number).
279 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
280 only compiling signal code when necessary.
281 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
282 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
283 said future/alternative API.
284 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
285
2864.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
287 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
288 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
289 (analysed by elmex).
290
2914.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
292 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
293 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
294 for errors after every push_write etc.
295 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
296 platforms.
297
2984.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
299 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
300 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
301 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
302 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
303 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
304 tutorial accordingly.
305 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
306
3074.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
308 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
309 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
310 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
311 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
312 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
313 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
314 in IO::Async.
315
3164.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
317 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
318 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
319 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
320 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
321 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
322 documentation.
323 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
324 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
325 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
326 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
327 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
328 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
329
3304.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
331 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
332 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
333 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
334 this trap.
335 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
336 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
337 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
338 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
339 on_read callbacks.
340 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
341
3424.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
343 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
344 callbacks.
345 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
346 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
347 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
348 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
349 Event::Lib.
350 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
351 to rarely fail.
352
3534.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
354 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
355 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
356 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
357 in AnyEvent->io.
358 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
359 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
360 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
361 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
362 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
363 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
364 portable_socketpair.
365 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
366 YMMV.
367
3684.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
369 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
370 uppercase targets.
371 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
372 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
373 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
374 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
375 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
376 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
377 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
378 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
379 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
380 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
381 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
382 in the common case.
383 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
384 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
385 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
386 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
387 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
388 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
389 from the constructor.
390 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
391 then fall back to JSON.
392 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
393 and because it was documented that way.
394
3954.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
396 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
397 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
398
3994.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
400 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
401 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
402 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
403 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
404 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
405 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
406 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
407 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
408 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
409
4104.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
411 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
412 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
413 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
414 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
415 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
416
4174.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
418 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
419 and set it on the default resolver.
420 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
421 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
422 when running in tainted mode.
423 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
424
4254.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
426 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
427
4284.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
429 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
430 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
431 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
432 destructors.
433 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
434 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
435 implementation.
436 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
437 for cosmetic reasons.
438
4394.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
440 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
441 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
442 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
443 - sped up Tk timer handling.
444 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
445 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
446 - fix Qt timers without interval.
447 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
448
4494.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
450 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
451 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
452 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
453

455 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
456 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
457 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
458 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
459
4604.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
461 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
462 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
463 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
464 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
465 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
466 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
467 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
468 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
469 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
470 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
471 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
472
4734.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
474 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
475 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
476 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
477 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
478 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
479 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
480 backend.
481 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
482
4834.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
484 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
485 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
486 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
487 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
488 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
489 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
490
4914.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
492 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
493 illegal.
494 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
495 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
496 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
497 by Adam Rosenstein).
498 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
499 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
500 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
501
5024.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
503 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
504 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
505 the socket type.
506 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
507
5084.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
509 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
510 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
511 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
512 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
513 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
514 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
515
5164.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
517 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
518 unless one has been installed already.
519 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
520 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
521 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle.
522 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
523 client would first wait for some data by the server and
524 otherwise hang. (reported and analysed in an absolutely
525 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
526 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
527 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
528 (reported and analysed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
529 Rosenstein).
530 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
531 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
532 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
533 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
534 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
535 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
536 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
537 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
538 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
539 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
540 now, more to come, though.
541 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
542
5434.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
544 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
545 no trace events.
546 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
547 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
548 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
549 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
550 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
551 Time::HiRes).
552
5534.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
554 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
555 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
556
5574.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
558 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
559 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
560 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
561 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
562
5634.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
564 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
565 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
566 perls without resource leaks or worse).
567
5684.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
569 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
570 the callback.
571 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
572 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
573 eol marker.
574 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
575 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
576 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
577
5784.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
579 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
580 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
581 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
582 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
583 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
584
5854.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
586 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
587 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
588 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
589 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
590 unusable way.
591 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
592 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
593 K. Sharifulin).
594
5954.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
596 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
597 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
598 be delayed under some circumstances.
599 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
600 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
601 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
602 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
603 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
604 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
605
6064.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
607 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
608 assumption that all data could be written before read
609 (reported by Jim Razmus).
610
6114.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
612 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
613 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
614 implementation (also affected child watchers).
615 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
616
6174.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
618 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
619 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
620 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
621
6224.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
623 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
624 works.
625
6264.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
627 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
628 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
629 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
630 for AnyEvent::Handle.
631 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
632 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
633
6344.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
635 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
636 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
637 executing the guard block as warnings.
638 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
639
6404.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
641 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
642 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
643 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
644 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
645 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
646 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
647 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
648 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
649 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
650 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
651 enter an endless loop.
652 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
653 busy again after idling.
654 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
655 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
656 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
657 (hopefully).
658 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
659 away any time.
660
6614.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
662 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
663 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
664 - allow more options in on_error.
665
6664.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
667 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
668 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
669 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
670 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
671 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
672 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
673 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
674 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
675 rfc 2782.
676 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
677 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
678 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
679 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
680 could die. this has been fixed.
681 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
682 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
683 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
684 for resolver class.
685 - update version numbers in all modules.
686
6874.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
688 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
689 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
690 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
691 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
692 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
693 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
694 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
695 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
696 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
697 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
698 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
699 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
700 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
701 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
702 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
703 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
704 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
705 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
706 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
707 but EV also works around this).
708 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
709 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
710 vs. callback arguments.
711 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
712
7134.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
714 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
715 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
716 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
717 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
718
7194.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
720 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
721 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
722 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
723 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
724 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
725 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
726 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
727 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
728 sake of perl 5.8.
729 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
730 (still a hack...)
731 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
732 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
733 die handlers.
734
7354.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
736 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
737 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
738 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
739 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
740 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
741 - updated documentation.
742 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
743 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
744 in AnyEvent::Handle.
745 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
746 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
747 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
748 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
749
