3TODO: document TCP_*** constants
4TODO: catch AE::xxx for anyevent strict and anyevent debug
5TODO: anyevent::trace? or debug tracing all watchers?
6TODO: anyevent strict checking for $_ changes?
7
8 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
9 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
10 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
11
125.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
13 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
14 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
15 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
16 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
17 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
18 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
19 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
20 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
21 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
22 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
23 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
24 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
25
265.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
27 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
28 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
29 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
30 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
31 documentation for caveats.
32 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
33 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
34 AnyEvent::Handle).
35 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
36 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
37
385.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
39 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
40 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
41 the availabilty of a default loop!
42 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
43 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
44 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
45 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
46 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
47 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
48 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
49 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
50
515.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
52 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
53 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
54 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
55 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
56 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
57 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
58 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
59 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
60 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
61 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
62 as part of the perl core.
63 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
64 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
65 minimal perl...).
66
675.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
68 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
69 actually used in tcp_server.
70 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
71 missing.
72 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
73 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
74 resulting in more informative error messages.
75 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
76 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
77 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
78 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
79 of AnyEvent::TLS.
80 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
81 requested by Ron Isaacson.
82 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
83 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
84 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
85 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
86 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
87
885.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
89 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
90
915.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
92 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
93 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
94 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
95 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
96 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
97 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
98 - better/more condvar examples.
99
1005.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
101 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
102 time (found by Andy Grundman).
103
1045.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
105 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
106 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
107 by Bas Denissen).
108 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
109 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
110 EV and Perl backends.
111 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
112 backends.
113 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
114 never documented nor universally supported).
115 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
116 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
117
1185.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
119 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
120 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
121 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
122
1235.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
124 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
125 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
126 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
127 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
128 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
129 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
130 by lucky accident on win32.
131 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
132 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
133 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
134 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
135 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
136 detection and eval.
137 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
138 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
139 (same algorithm as EV).
140 - update unicode idna mapping table.
141
1425.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
143 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
144 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
145 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
146 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
147
1485.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
149 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
150 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
151 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
152 - provide $AE::VERSION.
153 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
154
1555.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
156 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
157 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
158 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
159 when passing scalar data to extensions).
160 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
161 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
162 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
163 (John Beppu).
164 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
165 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
166 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
167 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
168
1695.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
170 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
171 (spotted by David Friedland).
172 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
173 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
174 unless you rip out everything but the core).
175 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
176 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
177
1785.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
179 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
180 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
181 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
182 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
183 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
184
1855.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
186 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
187 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
188 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
189 (analysed by elmex).
190
1915.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
192 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
193 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
194 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
195 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
196 AnyEvent::Handle.
197 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
198 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
199 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
200 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
201
2025.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
203 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
204 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
205 by Michael S. Fischer).
206 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
207 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
208 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
209 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
210 by default.
211 - fix some prototypes.
212 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
213 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
214
2155.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
216 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
217 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
218 - port to broken win32 perls.
219
2205.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
221 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
222 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
223 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
224 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
225 OSes as well).
226
2275.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
228 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
229 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
230 to reduce dependency on JSON.
231
2325.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
233 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
234 one (was broken since 4.91).
235 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
236 when retrying a tcp_connect.
237 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
238 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
239
2405.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
241 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
242
2435.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
244 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
245 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
246 in AnyEvent::Handle.
247 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
248 settings.
249 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
250 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
251 exporting the probe function).
252 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
253 code to work around it's watcher limits.
254 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
255 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
256 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
257 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
258 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
259
2604.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
261 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
262 already contains some TLS handshake.
263 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
264 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
265 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
266 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
267 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
268
2694.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
270 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
271 a negative value, so avoid that.
272 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
273 after the condition is already signalled.
274 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
275 data.
276 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
277 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
278 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
279 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
280 any issues).
281 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
282 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
283 by name (not name or number).
284 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
285 only compiling signal code when necessary.
286 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
287 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
288 said future/alternative API.
289 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
290
2914.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
292 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
293 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
294 (analysed by elmex).
295
2964.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
297 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
298 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
299 for errors after every push_write etc.
300 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
301 platforms.
302
3034.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
304 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
305 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
306 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
307 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
308 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
309 tutorial accordingly.
310 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
311
3124.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
313 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
314 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
315 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
316 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
317 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
318 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
319 in IO::Async.
320
3214.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
322 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
323 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
324 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
325 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
326 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
327 documentation.
328 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
329 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
330 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
331 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
332 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
333 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
334
3354.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
336 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
337 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
338 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
339 this trap.
340 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
341 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
342 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
343 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
344 on_read callbacks.
345 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
346
3474.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
348 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
349 callbacks.
3 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names 350 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
4 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX 351 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
5 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/. 352 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
6 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in 353 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
7 Event::Lib. 354 Event::Lib.
