167.08 Wed Dec 10 05:27:17 CET 2014
17 - work around a newly introduced bug in Socket 2.011 (an
18 errornous sun_length check) (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
19 - AnyEvent::TLS didn't load (but refer to) AnyEvent::Socket
20 (analyzed by Ben Magistro).
21 - AnyEvent::Strict will now confess, not croak. This is in line with
22 it being a development/debugging tool.
23 - work around a number of libglib bugs (debug builds of libglib enforce
24 certain undocumented behaviour patterns such as not being able to
25 remove a child watch source after it has fired, which we will try
26 to emulate to avoid "criticals". what where they thinking...).
27 - mention json security issues in AnyEvent::Handle, now that Douglas
28 Crockford has foolishly and incompatibly changed JSON.
29 - changed default dns resolver "max_outstanding" value from 1 to 10,
30 the latter beinfg the intended value all along
31 (reported by Ilya Chesnokov).
32 - added new "AnyEvent::Impl::UV" interface module to the UV event lib
33 (written by Mike Lowell).
34
357.07 Tue Dec 17 17:45:02 CET 2013
36 - the documentation for custom tls verify schemes was wrong. make it agree
37 with the code (reported by Maxime Soulé).
38 - added cbor read and write types to AnyEvent::Handle (using CBOR::XS).
39 - work around an API change in openssl that could cause wrong tls connection
40 aborts, likely on windows only (analyzed by sten).
41 - calling AnyEvent->now_update with AnyEvent::Impl::Perl caused an
42 endless loop (reported by Dietrich Rebmann).
43 - add tlsv1_1 and tlsv1_2 protocols to AnyEvent::TLS
44 (patch by Maxime Soulé).
45 - document AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync::set_loop and
46 $AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync::LOOP. Though only documented now, this
47 functionality has _always_ been available.
48 - force a toplevel domain name in t/81_hosts.t (analyzed by
49 David Jack Wange Olrik).
50 - document that AnyEvent::Log uses AnyEvent::IO.
51 - warn about AnyEvent::Filesys::Notify performance.
52 - praise the joys of AnyEvent::Fork::*.
53 - time for an =encoding directive.
54 - do no longer use JSON to create a default json coder, use
55 JSON::XS or JSON::PP directly.
56
577.05 Wed Aug 21 10:38:08 CEST 2013
58 - uts46data.pl couldn't be found due to wrong naming of the file
59 (reported by Fulko Hew).
60 - handle lone \015's properly in AE::Handle's default line read
61 (reported by various people).
62 - untaint ip addresses found in /etc/hosts (patch by José Micó).
63 - the memleak fix in 7.03 caused resolving via /etc/hosts to always
64 fail on first use (reported and testcase by Andrew Whatson).
65 - expose AnyEvent::Log::format_time, and allow users to redefine it.
66 - expose AnyEvent::Log::default_format, and allow redefinition.
67 - expose AnyEvent::Log::fatal_exit, to allow redefinition.
68 - AnyEvent::Debug shell can now run coro shell commands, if available.
69 - t/63* tests were wrongly in MANIFEST.
70 - kernel.org's finger server went MIA, switch to freebsd.org and
71 icculus.org.
72 - clarify that IO::AIO and AnyEvent::AIO are needed for AnyEvent::IO
73 to function asynchronously (reported by Daniel Carosone).
74 - hard-disable $^W in most tests, it generates too much garbage output.
75 - use a (hopefully) more future-proof method to emulate common::sense.
76 - upgrade to UTS-46:6.2.0.
77 - switch to INSTLIB from INSTLIBDIR, as INSTLIBDIR was wrongly
78 documented. should not affect anything.
79
807.04 Thu Nov 15 02:23:58 CET 2012
81 - debugging code left in.
82
837.03 Thu Nov 15 02:16:11 CET 2012
84 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton did not work when dns resolution was
85 used to find the addresses (analyzed and patch by Maxime Soulé).
86 - fix a memory leak in the /etc/hosts lookup code when hosts don't
87 resolve and are not in hosts (analyzed by sten).
88
897.02 Tue Aug 14 04:27:58 CEST 2012
90 - AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd could block indefinitely (analyzed and test
91 program by Yorhel).
92 - verified that AnyEvent::Socket follows RFC5952.
93 - try to parse "ADDR#PORT" in addition to "ADDR PORT".
94
957.01 Sun May 13 01:03:17 CEST 2012
96 - fail with EPROTO in AnyEvent::Handle wqhen TLS is requested but
97 not available, instead of throwing an exception.
98 - use File::Spec to get the tmpdir in t/*, to avoid needless
99 failures on (most, not mine :) windows boxes.
100 - new handle read types: tls_detect and tls_autostart.
101
1027.0 Fri Apr 13 06:33:30 CEST 2012
103 - child watchers are broken in POE 1.352 (also many earlier
104 versions) and there seems to be no way to work around it, as POE
105 itself is inherently racy. Document this regression and add a delay
106 in t/68_poe_03_child.t for the time being.
107 - new module AnyEvent::IO, that is a frontend to either a pure-perl
108 synchronous I/O implementation (AnyEvent::IO::Perl), or to the
109 asynchronous I/O extension IO::AIO (AnyEvent::IO::IOAIO).
110 - load /etc/hosts only when DNS has no answer.
111 - stat /etc/hosts on every access and reload it if it changed.
112 - load /etc/hosts via AnyEvent::IO - potentially asynchronous.
113 - fix a buggy croak in the dh parameter reading in AnyEvent::TLS.
114 - AnyEvent::Log log_to_file and log_to_path now use AnyEvent::IO. As
115 a side effect, they now use true appending as opposed to libc
116 appending, and the file might not have been opened when the function
117 returns.
118 - the default logging level was not properly documented in a variety of
119 places, this has hopefully been rectified.
120 - updated uts46data.pl for unicode 6.1.0.
121 - made log messages generated by AnyEvent submodules not
122 include the package name anymore, as it will be logged
123 by default already.
124 - upgrade to the trick used by common-sense 3.5 to work
125 around extra warning torture/breakage under perl 5.15.x.
126 - log messages by anyevent are now ucfirst, are usually full
127 sentences and do no longer include the package name.
128 - the storable read type would sometimes throw an exception instead
129 of causing EBADMSG (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
130 - work around a bug in openssl 1.0.1 which enforces a minimum rsa
131 keysize (reported by Paul Howarth).
132 - documented Rocco fabricating statements about AnyEvent and me.
133
1346.14 Tue Jan 31 20:00:24 CET 2012
135 - AnyEvent::Impl::Tk was broken due to a mysterious "die" inside,
136 probably an editing mistake (reported by Darin McBride).
137
1386.13 Thu Jan 12 07:27:01 CET 2012
139 - AnyEvent::Util::fork_call checked for POSIX availability in the wrong way,
140 causing it to fail if POSIX wasn't loaded already (analysed by Rock Power).
141 - AnyEvent::Handle::push_read (line => did pass $1 directly, so
142 regex-matching inside the callback would change the parameter, despite
143 $1 being dynamically scoped per-block. this perl bug is now being
144 worked around (testcase by Cindy Wang).
145
1466.12 Mon Dec 12 13:21:10 CET 2011
147 - $! was clobbered by subsequent calls in tcp_connect, due to
148 the postpone not saving/restoring it (analyzed by Richard Garnish).
149
1506.11 Tue Nov 22 10:36:05 CET 2011
151 - Tk cannot create windows when tainted unless you set a title, so
152 set a dummy title for AnyEvent's dummy mainwindow. How dummy.
153 - escape any nonprintable/nonascii characters when stringifying
154 backtraces.
155 - log the reason loading an interface module fails to load at level debug.
156
1576.1 Tue Oct 4 19:44:30 CEST 2011
158 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
159 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
160 to higher log levels to print by default.
161 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
162 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
163 how that module sucks.
164 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
165 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
166 of 127.0.0.1).
167 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
168 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
169 - AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to.
170 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
171 intervals.
172 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
173 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
174 which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
175 delivery.
176 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
177 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
178 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
179 of the context as title.
180 - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback
181 died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging...
182 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
183 to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
184 to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
185 attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
186 AnyEvent.
187
1886.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
189 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
190 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
191 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
192 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
193 to work around.
194 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
195
