17
187.04 Thu Nov 15 02:23:58 CET 2012
19 - debugging code left in.
20
217.03 Thu Nov 15 02:16:11 CET 2012
22 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton did not work when dns resolution was
23 used to find the addresses (analyzed and patch by Maxime Soulé).
24 - fix a memory leak in the /etc/hosts lookup code when hosts don't
25 resolve and are not in hosts (analyzed by sten).
26
277.02 Tue Aug 14 04:27:58 CEST 2012
28 - AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd could block indefinitely (analyzed and test
29 program by Yorhel).
30 - verified that AnyEvent::Socket follows RFC5952.
31 - try to parse "ADDR#PORT" in addition to "ADDR PORT".
32
337.01 Sun May 13 01:03:17 CEST 2012
34 - fail with EPROTO in AnyEvent::Handle wqhen TLS is requested but
35 not available, instead of throwing an exception.
36 - use File::Spec to get the tmpdir in t/*, to avoid needless
37 failures on (most, not mine :) windows boxes.
38 - new handle read types: tls_detect and tls_autostart.
39
407.0 Fri Apr 13 06:33:30 CEST 2012
41 - child watchers are broken in POE 1.352 (also many earlier
42 versions) and there seems to be no way to work around it, as POE
43 itself is inherently racy. Document this regression and add a delay
44 in t/68_poe_03_child.t for the time being.
45 - new module AnyEvent::IO, that is a frontend to either a pure-perl
46 synchronous I/O implementation (AnyEvent::IO::Perl), or to the
47 asynchronous I/O extension IO::AIO (AnyEvent::IO::IOAIO).
48 - load /etc/hosts only when DNS has no answer.
49 - stat /etc/hosts on every access and reload it if it changed.
50 - load /etc/hosts via AnyEvent::IO - potentially asynchronous.
51 - fix a buggy croak in the dh parameter reading in AnyEvent::TLS.
52 - AnyEvent::Log log_to_file and log_to_path now use AnyEvent::IO. As
53 a side effect, they now use true appending as opposed to libc
54 appending, and the file might not have been opened when the function
55 returns.
56 - the default logging level was not properly documented in a variety of
57 places, this has hopefully been rectified.
58 - updated uts46data.pl for unicode 6.1.0.
59 - made log messages generated by AnyEvent submodules not
60 include the package name anymore, as it will be logged
61 by default already.
62 - upgrade to the trick used by common-sense 3.5 to work
63 around extra warning torture/breakage under perl 5.15.x.
64 - log messages by anyevent are now ucfirst, are usually full
65 sentences and do no longer include the package name.
66 - the storable read type would sometimes throw an exception instead
67 of causing EBADMSG (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
68 - work around a bug in openssl 1.0.1 which enforces a minimum rsa
69 keysize (reported by Paul Howarth).
70 - documented Rocco fabricating statements about AnyEvent and me.
71
726.14 Tue Jan 31 20:00:24 CET 2012
73 - AnyEvent::Impl::Tk was broken due to a mysterious "die" inside,
74 probably an editing mistake (reported by Darin McBride).
75
766.13 Thu Jan 12 07:27:01 CET 2012
77 - AnyEvent::Util::fork_call checked for POSIX availability in the wrong way,
78 causing it to fail if POSIX wasn't loaded already (analysed by Rock Power).
79 - AnyEvent::Handle::push_read (line => did pass $1 directly, so
80 regex-matching inside the callback would change the parameter, despite
81 $1 being dynamically scoped per-block. this perl bug is now being
82 worked around (testcase by Cindy Wang).
83
846.12 Mon Dec 12 13:21:10 CET 2011
85 - $! was clobbered by subsequent calls in tcp_connect, due to
86 the postpone not saving/restoring it (analyzed by Richard Garnish).
87
886.11 Tue Nov 22 10:36:05 CET 2011
89 - Tk cannot create windows when tainted unless you set a title, so
90 set a dummy title for AnyEvent's dummy mainwindow. How dummy.
91 - escape any nonprintable/nonascii characters when stringifying
92 backtraces.
93 - log the reason loading an interface module fails to load at level debug.
94
956.1 Tue Oct 4 19:44:30 CEST 2011
96 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
97 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
98 to higher log levels to print by default.
99 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
100 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
101 how that module sucks.
102 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
103 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
104 of 127.0.0.1).
105 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
106 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
107 - AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to.
108 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
109 intervals.
110 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
111 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
112 which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
113 delivery.
114 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
115 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
116 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
117 of the context as title.
118 - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback
119 died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging...
120 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
121 to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
122 to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
123 attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
124 AnyEvent.
125
1266.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
127 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
128 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
129 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
130 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
131 to work around.
132 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.

17 such as AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected. 138 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
139 AnyEvent::Socket.
18 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement 140 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
