156.01 197.05 Wed Aug 21 10:38:08 CEST 2013
20 - uts46data.pl couldn't be found due to wrong naming of the file
21 (reported by Fulko Hew).
22 - handle lone \015's properly in AE::Handle's default line read
23 (reported by various people).
24 - untaint ip addresses found in /etc/hosts (patch by José Micó).
25 - the memleak fix in 7.03 caused resolving via /etc/hosts to always
26 fail on first use (reported and testcase by Andrew Whatson).
27 - expose AnyEvent::Log::format_time, and allow users to redefine it.
28 - expose AnyEvent::Log::default_format, and allow redefinition.
29 - expose AnyEvent::Log::fatal_exit, to allow redefinition.
30 - AnyEvent::Debug shell can now run coro shell commands, if available.
31 - t/63* tests were wrongly in MANIFEST.
32 - kernel.org's finger server went MIA, switch to freebsd.org and
33 icculus.org.
34 - clarify that IO::AIO and AnyEvent::AIO are needed for AnyEvent::IO
35 to function asynchronously (reported by Daniel Carosone).
36 - hard-disable $^W in most tests, it generates too much garbage output.
37 - use a (hopefully) more future-proof method to emulate common::sense.
38 - upgrade to UTS-46:6.2.0.
39 - switch to INSTLIB from INSTLIBDIR, as INSTLIBDIR was wrongly
40 documented. should not affect anything.

176.0 (not officially released) 427.04 Thu Nov 15 02:23:58 CET 2012
43 - debugging code left in.
44
457.03 Thu Nov 15 02:16:11 CET 2012
46 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton did not work when dns resolution was
47 used to find the addresses (analyzed and patch by Maxime Soulé).
48 - fix a memory leak in the /etc/hosts lookup code when hosts don't
49 resolve and are not in hosts (analyzed by sten).
50
517.02 Tue Aug 14 04:27:58 CEST 2012
52 - AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd could block indefinitely (analyzed and test
53 program by Yorhel).
54 - verified that AnyEvent::Socket follows RFC5952.
55 - try to parse "ADDR#PORT" in addition to "ADDR PORT".
56
577.01 Sun May 13 01:03:17 CEST 2012
58 - fail with EPROTO in AnyEvent::Handle wqhen TLS is requested but
59 not available, instead of throwing an exception.
60 - use File::Spec to get the tmpdir in t/*, to avoid needless
61 failures on (most, not mine :) windows boxes.
62 - new handle read types: tls_detect and tls_autostart.
63
647.0 Fri Apr 13 06:33:30 CEST 2012
65 - child watchers are broken in POE 1.352 (also many earlier
66 versions) and there seems to be no way to work around it, as POE
67 itself is inherently racy. Document this regression and add a delay
68 in t/68_poe_03_child.t for the time being.
69 - new module AnyEvent::IO, that is a frontend to either a pure-perl
70 synchronous I/O implementation (AnyEvent::IO::Perl), or to the
71 asynchronous I/O extension IO::AIO (AnyEvent::IO::IOAIO).
72 - load /etc/hosts only when DNS has no answer.
73 - stat /etc/hosts on every access and reload it if it changed.
74 - load /etc/hosts via AnyEvent::IO - potentially asynchronous.
75 - fix a buggy croak in the dh parameter reading in AnyEvent::TLS.
76 - AnyEvent::Log log_to_file and log_to_path now use AnyEvent::IO. As
77 a side effect, they now use true appending as opposed to libc
78 appending, and the file might not have been opened when the function
79 returns.
80 - the default logging level was not properly documented in a variety of
81 places, this has hopefully been rectified.
82 - updated uts46data.pl for unicode 6.1.0.
83 - made log messages generated by AnyEvent submodules not
84 include the package name anymore, as it will be logged
85 by default already.
86 - upgrade to the trick used by common-sense 3.5 to work
87 around extra warning torture/breakage under perl 5.15.x.
88 - log messages by anyevent are now ucfirst, are usually full
89 sentences and do no longer include the package name.
90 - the storable read type would sometimes throw an exception instead
91 of causing EBADMSG (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
92 - work around a bug in openssl 1.0.1 which enforces a minimum rsa
93 keysize (reported by Paul Howarth).
94 - documented Rocco fabricating statements about AnyEvent and me.
95
966.14 Tue Jan 31 20:00:24 CET 2012
97 - AnyEvent::Impl::Tk was broken due to a mysterious "die" inside,
98 probably an editing mistake (reported by Darin McBride).
99
1006.13 Thu Jan 12 07:27:01 CET 2012
101 - AnyEvent::Util::fork_call checked for POSIX availability in the wrong way,
102 causing it to fail if POSIX wasn't loaded already (analysed by Rock Power).
103 - AnyEvent::Handle::push_read (line => did pass $1 directly, so
104 regex-matching inside the callback would change the parameter, despite
105 $1 being dynamically scoped per-block. this perl bug is now being
106 worked around (testcase by Cindy Wang).
107
1086.12 Mon Dec 12 13:21:10 CET 2011
109 - $! was clobbered by subsequent calls in tcp_connect, due to
110 the postpone not saving/restoring it (analyzed by Richard Garnish).
111
1126.11 Tue Nov 22 10:36:05 CET 2011
113 - Tk cannot create windows when tainted unless you set a title, so
114 set a dummy title for AnyEvent's dummy mainwindow. How dummy.
115 - escape any nonprintable/nonascii characters when stringifying
116 backtraces.
117 - log the reason loading an interface module fails to load at level debug.
118
1196.1 Tue Oct 4 19:44:30 CEST 2011
120 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
121 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
122 to higher log levels to print by default.
123 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
124 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
125 how that module sucks.
126 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
127 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
128 of 127.0.0.1).
129 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
130 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
131 - AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to.
132 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
133 intervals.
134 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
135 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
136 which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
137 delivery.
138 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
139 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
140 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
141 of the context as title.
142 - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback
143 died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging...
144 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
145 to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
146 to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
147 attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
148 AnyEvent.
149
1506.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
151 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
152 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
153 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
154 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
155 to work around.
156 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
