3TODO: inet_aton does not actually deliver ipv6 addresses 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?

8TODO: Kevin Ryde (3.8K) 1 inbox Glib child processes
9 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
10 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve directly,
11 and ->request and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions
12 such as AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected.
13 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
14 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
15 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
16 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
17 and (newly introduced) in POE.
18 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
19 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
20 - add support for (currently third-party) AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK.
21 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
22 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
23 (reported by Gerald Galster).
24 - resolve AnyEvent::Util::guard at first-use-time, not at load time,
25 for further speed and memory savings when not used.
26 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
27 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
28 do not support blocking waits.
29
305.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
31 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
32 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
33 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
34
355.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
36 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
37 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
38 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
39 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
40 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
41 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
42 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
43 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
44 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
45 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
46 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
47 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
48 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
49
505.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
51 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
52 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
53 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
54 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
55 documentation for caveats.
56 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
57 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
58 AnyEvent::Handle).
59 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
60 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
61
625.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
63 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
64 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
65 the availabilty of a default loop!
66 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
67 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
68 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
69 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
70 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
71 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
72 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
73 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
74
755.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
76 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
77 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
78 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
79 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
80 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
81 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
82 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
83 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
84 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
85 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
86 as part of the perl core.
87 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
88 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
89 minimal perl...).
90
915.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
92 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
93 actually used in tcp_server.
94 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
95 missing.
96 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
97 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
98 resulting in more informative error messages.
99 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
100 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
101 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
102 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
103 of AnyEvent::TLS.
104 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
105 requested by Ron Isaacson.
106 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
107 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
108 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
109 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
110 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
111
1125.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
113 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
114
1155.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
116 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
117 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
118 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
119 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
120 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
121 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
122 - better/more condvar examples.
123
1245.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
125 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
126 time (found by Andy Grundman).
127
1285.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
129 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
130 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
131 by Bas Denissen).
132 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
133 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
134 EV and Perl backends.
135 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
136 backends.
137 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
138 never documented nor universally supported).
139 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
140 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
141
1425.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
143 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
144 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
145 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
146
1475.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
148 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
149 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
150 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
151 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
152 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
153 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
154 by lucky accident on win32.
155 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
156 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
157 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
158 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
159 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
160 detection and eval.
161 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
162 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
163 (same algorithm as EV).
164 - update unicode idna mapping table.
165
1665.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
167 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
168 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
169 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
170 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
171
1725.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
173 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
174 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
175 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
176 - provide $AE::VERSION.
177 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
178

7 when passing scalar data to extensions). 183 when passing scalar data to extensions).
8 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage. 184 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
9 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03. 185 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
186 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
187 (John Beppu).
188 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
189 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
190 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
191 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
