Revision 1.448 by root, Tue Jul 19 08:24:05 2011 UTC

1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2 2
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
8TODO: break the API and put the rr ttl where it belongs.
9TODO: Kevin Ryde (3.8K) 1 inbox Glib child processes
10 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
11 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve directly,
12 and ->request and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions
13 such as AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected.
14 - add support for (currently third-party) AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK.
15 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
16 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
17 (reported by Gerald Galster).
18
195.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
20 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
21 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
22 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
23
245.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
25 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
26 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
27 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
28 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
29 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
30 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
31 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
32 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
33 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
34 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
35 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
36 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
37 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
38
395.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
40 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
41 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
42 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
43 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
44 documentation for caveats.
45 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
46 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
47 AnyEvent::Handle).
48 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
49 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
50
515.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
52 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
53 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
54 the availabilty of a default loop!
55 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
56 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
57 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
58 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
59 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
60 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
61 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
62 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
63
645.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
65 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
66 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
67 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
68 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
69 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
70 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
71 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
72 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
73 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
74 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
75 as part of the perl core.
76 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
77 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
78 minimal perl...).
79
805.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
81 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
82 actually used in tcp_server.
83 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
84 missing.
85 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
86 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
87 resulting in more informative error messages.
88 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
89 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
90 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
91 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
92 of AnyEvent::TLS.
93 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
94 requested by Ron Isaacson.
95 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
96 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
97 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
98 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
99 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
100
1015.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
102 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
103
1045.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
105 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
106 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
107 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
108 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
109 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
110 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
111 - better/more condvar examples.
112
1135.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
114 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
115 time (found by Andy Grundman).
116
1175.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
118 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
119 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
120 by Bas Denissen).
121 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
122 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
123 EV and Perl backends.
124 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
125 backends.
126 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
127 never documented nor universally supported).
128 - some more memory µ-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
129 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
130
1315.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
132 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
133 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
134 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
135
1365.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
137 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
138 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
139 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
140 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
141 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
142 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
143 by lucky accident on win32.
144 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
145 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
146 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
147 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
148 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
149 detection and eval.
150 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
151 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
152 (same algorithm as EV).
153 - update unicode idna mapping table.
154
1555.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
156 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
157 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
158 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
159 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
160
1615.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
162 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
163 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
164 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
165 - provide $AE::VERSION.
166 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
167
1685.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
169 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
170 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
171 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
172 when passing scalar data to extensions).
173 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
174 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
175 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
176 (John Beppu).
177 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
178 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
179 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
180 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
181
1825.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
183 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
184 (spotted by David Friedland).
185 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
186 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
187 unless you rip out everything but the core).
188 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
189 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
190
1915.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
192 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
193 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
194 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
195 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
196 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
197
1985.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
199 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
200 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
201 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
202 (analysed by elmex).
203
2045.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
205 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
206 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
207 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
208 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
209 AnyEvent::Handle.
210 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
211 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
212 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
213 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
214
2155.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
216 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
217 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
218 by Michael S. Fischer).
219 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
220 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
221 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
222 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
223 by default.
224 - fix some prototypes.
225 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
226 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
227
2285.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
229 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
230 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
231 - port to broken win32 perls.
232
2335.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
234 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
235 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
236 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
237 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
238 OSes as well).
239
2405.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
241 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
242 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
243 to reduce dependency on JSON.
244
2455.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
246 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
247 one (was broken since 4.91).
248 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
249 when retrying a tcp_connect.
250 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
251 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
252
2535.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
254 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
255
2565.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
257 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
258 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
259 in AnyEvent::Handle.
260 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
261 settings.
262 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
263 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
264 exporting the probe function).
265 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
266 code to work around it's watcher limits.
267 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
268 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
269 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
270 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
271 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
272
2734.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
274 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
275 already contains some TLS handshake.
276 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
277 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
278 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
279 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
280 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
281
2824.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
283 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
284 a negative value, so avoid that.
285 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
286 after the condition is already signalled.
287 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
288 data.
289 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
290 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
291 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
292 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
293 any issues).
294 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
295 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
296 by name (not name or number).
297 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
298 only compiling signal code when necessary.
299 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
300 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
301 said future/alternative API.
302 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
303
3044.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
305 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
306 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
307 (analysed by elmex).
308
3094.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
310 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
311 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
312 for errors after every push_write etc.
313 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
314 platforms.
315
3164.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
317 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
318 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
319 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
320 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
321 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
322 tutorial accordingly.
323 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
324
3254.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
326 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
327 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
328 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
329 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
330 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
331 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
332 in IO::Async.
333
3344.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
335 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
336 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
337 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
338 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
339 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
340 documentation.
341 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
342 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
343 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
344 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
345 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
346 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
347
3484.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
349 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
350 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
351 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
352 this trap.
353 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
354 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
355 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
356 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
357 on_read callbacks.
358 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
359
3604.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
361 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
362 callbacks.
363 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
364 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
365 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
366 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
367 Event::Lib.
368 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
369 to rarely fail.
370
3714.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
372 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
373 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
374 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
375 in AnyEvent->io.
376 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
377 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
378 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
379 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
380 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
381 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
382 portable_socketpair.
383 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
384 YMMV.
385
3864.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
387 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
388 uppercase targets.
389 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
390 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
391 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
392 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
393 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
394 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
395 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
396 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
397 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
398 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
399 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
400 in the common case.
401 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
402 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
403 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
404 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
405 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
406 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
407 from the constructor.
408 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
409 then fall back to JSON.
410 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
411 and because it was documented that way.
412
4134.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
414 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
415 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
416
4174.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
418 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
419 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
420 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
421 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
422 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
423 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
424 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
425 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
426 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
427
4284.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
429 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
430 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
431 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
432 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
433 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
434
4354.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
436 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
437 and set it on the default resolver.
438 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
439 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
440 when running in tainted mode.
441 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
442
4434.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
444 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
445
4464.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
447 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
448 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
449 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
450 destructors.
451 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
452 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
453 implementation.
454 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
455 for cosmetic reasons.
456
4574.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
458 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
459 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
460 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
461 - sped up Tk timer handling.
462 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
463 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
464 - fix Qt timers without interval.
465 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
466
4674.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
468 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
469 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
470 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
471
4724.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
473 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
474 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
475 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
476 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
477
4784.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
479 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
480 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
481 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
482 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
483 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
484 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
485 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
486 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
487 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
488 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
489 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
490
4914.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
492 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
493 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
494 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
495 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
496 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
497 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
498 backend.
499 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
500
5014.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
502 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
503 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
504 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
505 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
506 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
507 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
508
5094.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
510 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
511 illegal.
512 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
513 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
514 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
515 by Adam Rosenstein).
516 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
517 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
518 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
519
5204.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
521 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
522 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
523 the socket type.
524 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
525
5264.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
527 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
528 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
529 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
530 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
531 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
532 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
533
5344.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
535 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
536 unless one has been installed already.
537 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
538 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
539 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle.
540 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
541 client would first wait for some data by the server and
542 otherwise hang. (reported and analysed in an absolutely
543 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
544 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
545 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
546 (reported and analysed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
547 Rosenstein).
548 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
549 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
550 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
551 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
552 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
553 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
554 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
555 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
556 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
557 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
558 now, more to come, though.
559 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
560
5614.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
562 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
563 no trace events.
564 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
565 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
566 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
567 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
568 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
569 Time::HiRes).
570
5714.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
572 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
573 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
574
5754.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
576 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
577 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
578 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
579 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
580
5814.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
582 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
583 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
584 perls without resource leaks or worse).
585
5864.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
587 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
588 the callback.
589 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
590 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
591 eol marker.
592 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
593 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
594 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
595
5964.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
597 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
598 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
599 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
600 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
601 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
602
6034.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
604 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
605 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
606 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
607 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
608 unusable way.
609 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
610 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
611 K. Sharifulin).
612
6134.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
614 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
615 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
616 be delayed under some circumstances.
617 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
618 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
619 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
620 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
621 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
622 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
623
6244.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
625 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
626 assumption that all data could be written before read
627 (reported by Jim Razmus).
628
6294.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
630 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
631 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
632 implementation (also affected child watchers).
633 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
634
6354.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
636 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
637 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
638 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
639
6404.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
641 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
642 works.
643
6444.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
645 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
646 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
647 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
648 for AnyEvent::Handle.
649 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
650 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
651
6524.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
653 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
654 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
655 executing the guard block as warnings.
656 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
657
6584.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
659 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
660 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
661 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
662 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
663 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
664 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
665 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
666 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
667 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
668 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
669 enter an endless loop.
670 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
671 busy again after idling.
672 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
673 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
674 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
675 (hopefully).
676 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
677 away any time.
678
6794.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
680 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
681 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
682 - allow more options in on_error.
683
6844.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
685 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
686 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
687 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
688 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
689 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
690 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
691 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
692 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
693 rfc 2782.
694 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
695 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
696 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
697 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
698 could die. this has been fixed.
699 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
700 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
701 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
702 for resolver class.
703 - update version numbers in all modules.
704
7054.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
706 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
707 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
708 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
709 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
710 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
711 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
712 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
713 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
714 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
715 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
716 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
717 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
718 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
719 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
720 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
721 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
722 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
723 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
724 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
725 but EV also works around this).
726 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
727 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
728 vs. callback arguments.
729 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
730
7314.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
732 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
733 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
734 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
3 - undo the import WIN32 hack. 735 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
4 - use sockaddr_family instead of relying on structure layout (because,
5 of course, darwin is broken again).
