156.01 16TODO: check that uts46 9.0.0 is released
17 - Only call tlsext_host_name for non-empty common names (reported
18 by Maxime Soulé).
19 - log a (single) notice message if SNI is not supported.
20 - upgrade to UTS-46:9.0.0 and switch to non-transitional behaviour.
16 21
176.0 (not officially released) 227.12 Wed Jan 27 19:12:26 CET 2016
23 - use common name as hostname for tls connects, if Net::SSLeay
24 supports SNI.
25 - fix documentation of tls_autostart read type in AnyEvent::Handle,
26 analyzed by Felix Ostmann.
27
287.11 Thu Jul 16 14:36:00 CEST 2015
29 - AnyEvent::Socket::parse_ipv6 could accept malformed ipv6
30 addresses (extra "::" at end and similar cases).
31 - add a more explicit warning to AnyEvent::Handle that it doesn't
32 work on files, people keep getting confused.
33 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::tcp_bind.
34 - new functions AnyEvent::fh_block and AnyEvent::fh_unblock.
35 - aligned ipv6 address formatting with RFC 5952 (by not shortening
36 a single :0: to ::).
37 - added stability canary support.
38
397.09 Sat May 2 16:38:53 CEST 2015
40 - AnyEvent::Debug called an internal function (AnyEvent::Log::ft)
41 that was renamed to AnyEvent::Log:format_time. uinder its old name
42 (analyzed by Michael Stovenour).
43 - update AnyEvent::DNS fallback resolver addresses:
44 seems google effectively killed most other free dns resolvers,
45 so remove them, but add cable and wireless (ecrc) since it was
46 stable for 20 years or so, official or not, and there should be
47 an alternative to google.
48 - perl5porters broke windows error codes in 5.20, and mapped
49 WSAEWOULDBLOCK on the (different) EWOULDBLOCK error code, and
50 WSAEINPROGRESS into the incompatible ERINPROGRESS code, probably
51 because they were so cool. They probably broke other error codes
52 for no reason, too, but I didn't care for checking, it's too
53 depressing. This version only works around the WSAEWOULDBLOCK
54 issue, because I don't have a nice way to work around the
55 WSAEINPROGRESS bug.
56
577.08 Wed Dec 10 05:27:17 CET 2014
58 - work around a newly introduced bug in Socket 2.011 (an
59 errornous sun_length check) (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
60 - AnyEvent::TLS didn't load (but refer to) AnyEvent::Socket
61 (analyzed by Ben Magistro).
62 - AnyEvent::Strict will now confess, not croak. This is in line with
63 it being a development/debugging tool.
64 - work around a number of libglib bugs (debug builds of libglib enforce
65 certain undocumented behaviour patterns such as not being able to
66 remove a child watch source after it has fired, which we will try
67 to emulate to avoid "criticals". what where they thinking...).
68 - mention json security issues in AnyEvent::Handle, now that Douglas
69 Crockford has foolishly and incompatibly changed JSON.
70 - changed default dns resolver "max_outstanding" value from 1 to 10,
71 the latter beinfg the intended value all along
72 (reported by Ilya Chesnokov).
73 - added new "AnyEvent::Impl::UV" interface module to the UV event lib
74 (written by Mike Lowell).
75
767.07 Tue Dec 17 17:45:02 CET 2013
77 - the documentation for custom tls verify schemes was wrong. make it agree
78 with the code (reported by Maxime Soulé).
79 - added cbor read and write types to AnyEvent::Handle (using CBOR::XS).
80 - work around an API change in openssl that could cause wrong tls connection
81 aborts, likely on windows only (analyzed by sten).
82 - calling AnyEvent->now_update with AnyEvent::Impl::Perl caused an
83 endless loop (reported by Dietrich Rebmann).
84 - add tlsv1_1 and tlsv1_2 protocols to AnyEvent::TLS
85 (patch by Maxime Soulé).
86 - document AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync::set_loop and
87 $AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync::LOOP. Though only documented now, this
88 functionality has _always_ been available.
89 - force a toplevel domain name in t/81_hosts.t (analyzed by
90 David Jack Wange Olrik).
91 - document that AnyEvent::Log uses AnyEvent::IO.
92 - warn about AnyEvent::Filesys::Notify performance.
93 - praise the joys of AnyEvent::Fork::*.
94 - time for an =encoding directive.
95 - do no longer use JSON to create a default json coder, use
96 JSON::XS or JSON::PP directly.
97
987.05 Wed Aug 21 10:38:08 CEST 2013
99 - uts46data.pl couldn't be found due to wrong naming of the file
100 (reported by Fulko Hew).
101 - handle lone \015's properly in AE::Handle's default line read
102 (reported by various people).
103 - untaint ip addresses found in /etc/hosts (patch by José Micó).
104 - the memleak fix in 7.03 caused resolving via /etc/hosts to always
105 fail on first use (reported and testcase by Andrew Whatson).
106 - expose AnyEvent::Log::format_time, and allow users to redefine it.
107 - expose AnyEvent::Log::default_format, and allow redefinition.
108 - expose AnyEvent::Log::fatal_exit, to allow redefinition.
109 - AnyEvent::Debug shell can now run coro shell commands, if available.
110 - t/63* tests were wrongly in MANIFEST.
111 - kernel.org's finger server went MIA, switch to freebsd.org and
112 icculus.org.
113 - clarify that IO::AIO and AnyEvent::AIO are needed for AnyEvent::IO
114 to function asynchronously (reported by Daniel Carosone).
115 - hard-disable $^W in most tests, it generates too much garbage output.
116 - use a (hopefully) more future-proof method to emulate common::sense.
117 - upgrade to UTS-46:6.2.0.
118 - switch to INSTLIB from INSTLIBDIR, as INSTLIBDIR was wrongly
119 documented. should not affect anything.
120
1217.04 Thu Nov 15 02:23:58 CET 2012
122 - debugging code left in.
123
1247.03 Thu Nov 15 02:16:11 CET 2012
125 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton did not work when dns resolution was
126 used to find the addresses (analyzed and patch by Maxime Soulé).
127 - fix a memory leak in the /etc/hosts lookup code when hosts don't
128 resolve and are not in hosts (analyzed by sten).
129
1307.02 Tue Aug 14 04:27:58 CEST 2012
131 - AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd could block indefinitely (analyzed and test
132 program by Yorhel).
133 - verified that AnyEvent::Socket follows RFC5952.
134 - try to parse "ADDR#PORT" in addition to "ADDR PORT".
135
1367.01 Sun May 13 01:03:17 CEST 2012
137 - fail with EPROTO in AnyEvent::Handle wqhen TLS is requested but
138 not available, instead of throwing an exception.
139 - use File::Spec to get the tmpdir in t/*, to avoid needless
140 failures on (most, not mine :) windows boxes.
141 - new handle read types: tls_detect and tls_autostart.
142
1437.0 Fri Apr 13 06:33:30 CEST 2012
144 - child watchers are broken in POE 1.352 (also many earlier
145 versions) and there seems to be no way to work around it, as POE
146 itself is inherently racy. Document this regression and add a delay
147 in t/68_poe_03_child.t for the time being.
148 - new module AnyEvent::IO, that is a frontend to either a pure-perl
149 synchronous I/O implementation (AnyEvent::IO::Perl), or to the
150 asynchronous I/O extension IO::AIO (AnyEvent::IO::IOAIO).
151 - load /etc/hosts only when DNS has no answer.
152 - stat /etc/hosts on every access and reload it if it changed.
153 - load /etc/hosts via AnyEvent::IO - potentially asynchronous.
154 - fix a buggy croak in the dh parameter reading in AnyEvent::TLS.
155 - AnyEvent::Log log_to_file and log_to_path now use AnyEvent::IO. As
156 a side effect, they now use true appending as opposed to libc
157 appending, and the file might not have been opened when the function
158 returns.
159 - the default logging level was not properly documented in a variety of
160 places, this has hopefully been rectified.
161 - updated uts46data.pl for unicode 6.1.0.
162 - made log messages generated by AnyEvent submodules not
163 include the package name anymore, as it will be logged
164 by default already.
165 - upgrade to the trick used by common-sense 3.5 to work
166 around extra warning torture/breakage under perl 5.15.x.
167 - log messages by anyevent are now ucfirst, are usually full
168 sentences and do no longer include the package name.
169 - the storable read type would sometimes throw an exception instead
170 of causing EBADMSG (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
171 - work around a bug in openssl 1.0.1 which enforces a minimum rsa
172 keysize (reported by Paul Howarth).
173 - documented Rocco fabricating statements about AnyEvent and me.
174
1756.14 Tue Jan 31 20:00:24 CET 2012
176 - AnyEvent::Impl::Tk was broken due to a mysterious "die" inside,
177 probably an editing mistake (reported by Darin McBride).
178
1796.13 Thu Jan 12 07:27:01 CET 2012
180 - AnyEvent::Util::fork_call checked for POSIX availability in the wrong way,
181 causing it to fail if POSIX wasn't loaded already (analysed by Rock Power).
182 - AnyEvent::Handle::push_read (line => did pass $1 directly, so
183 regex-matching inside the callback would change the parameter, despite
184 $1 being dynamically scoped per-block. this perl bug is now being
185 worked around (testcase by Cindy Wang).
186
1876.12 Mon Dec 12 13:21:10 CET 2011
188 - $! was clobbered by subsequent calls in tcp_connect, due to
189 the postpone not saving/restoring it (analyzed by Richard Garnish).
190
1916.11 Tue Nov 22 10:36:05 CET 2011
192 - Tk cannot create windows when tainted unless you set a title, so
193 set a dummy title for AnyEvent's dummy mainwindow. How dummy.
194 - escape any nonprintable/nonascii characters when stringifying
195 backtraces.
196 - log the reason loading an interface module fails to load at level debug.
197
1986.1 Tue Oct 4 19:44:30 CEST 2011
199 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
200 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
201 to higher log levels to print by default.
202 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
203 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
204 how that module sucks.
205 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
206 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
207 of 127.0.0.1).
208 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
209 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
210 - AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to.
211 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
212 intervals.
213 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
214 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
215 which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
216 delivery.
217 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
218 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
219 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
220 of the context as title.
221 - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback
222 died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging...
223 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
224 to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
225 to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
226 attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
227 AnyEvent.
228
2296.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
230 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
231 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
232 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
233 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
234 to work around.
235 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
236
2376.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011

23 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement 243 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
24 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll 244 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
25 methods. 245 methods.
