105.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
11 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
12 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
13 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
14 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
15 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
16 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
17 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
18 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
19 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
20 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
21 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
22 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
23
245.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
25 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
26 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
27 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
28 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
29 documentation for caveats.
30 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
31 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
32 AnyEvent::Handle).
33 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
34 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
35
365.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
37 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
38 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
39 the availabilty of a default loop!
40 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
41 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
42 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
43 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
44 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
45 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
46 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
47 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
48
495.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
50 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
51 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
52 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
53 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
54 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
55 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
56 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
57 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
58 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
59 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
60 as part of the perl core.
61 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
62 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
63 minimal perl...).
64
655.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
66 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
67 actually used in tcp_server.
68 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
69 missing.
70 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
71 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
72 resulting in more informative error messages.
73 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
74 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
75 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
76 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
77 of AnyEvent::TLS.
78 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
79 requested by Ron Isaacson.
80 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
81 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
82 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
83 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
84 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
85
865.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
87 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
88
895.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
90 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
91 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
92 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
93 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
94 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
95 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
96 - better/more condvar examples.
97
985.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
99 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
100 time (found by Andy Grundman).
101
1025.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
103 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
104 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
105 by Bas Denissen).
106 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
107 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
108 EV and Perl backends.
109 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
110 backends.
111 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
112 never documented nor universally supported).
113 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
114 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
115
1165.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
117 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
118 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
119 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
120
1215.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
122 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
123 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
124 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
125 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
126 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
127 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
128 by lucky accident on win32.
129 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
130 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
131 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
132 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
133 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
134 detection and eval.
135 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
136 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
137 (same algorithm as EV).
138 - update unicode idna mapping table.
139
1405.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
141 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
142 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
143 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
144 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
145
1465.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
147 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
148 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
149 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
150 - provide $AE::VERSION.
151 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
152
1535.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
154 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
155 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
156 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
157 when passing scalar data to extensions).
158 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
159 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
160 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
161 (John Beppu).
162 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
163 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
164 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
165 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
166
1675.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
168 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
169 (spotted by David Friedland).
170 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
171 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
172 unless you rip out everything but the core).
173 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
174 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
175
1765.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
177 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
178 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
179 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
180 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
181 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
182
1835.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
184 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
185 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
186 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
187 (analysed by elmex).
188
1895.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
190 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
191 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
192 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
193 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
194 AnyEvent::Handle.
195 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
196 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
197 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
198 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
199
2005.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
201 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
202 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
203 by Michael S. Fischer).
204 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
205 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
206 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
207 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
208 by default.
209 - fix some prototypes.
210 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
211 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
212
2135.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
214 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
215 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
216 - port to broken win32 perls.
217
2185.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
219 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
220 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
221 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
222 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
223 OSes as well).
224
2255.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
226 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
227 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
228 to reduce dependency on JSON.
229
2305.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
231 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
232 one (was broken since 4.91).
233 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
234 when retrying a tcp_connect.
235 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
236 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
237
2385.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
239 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
240
2415.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
242 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
243 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
244 in AnyEvent::Handle.
245 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
246 settings.
247 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
248 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
249 exporting the probe function).
250 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
251 code to work around it's watcher limits.
252 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
253 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
254 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
255 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
256 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
257
2584.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
259 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
260 already contains some TLS handshake.
261 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
262 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
263 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
264 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
265 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
