156.0 (not officially released)
16 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
17 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve directly,
18 and ->request and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions
19 such as AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither
20 is AnyEvent::Socket.
21 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
22 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
23 methods.
24 - DEPRECIATION: please change
25 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
26 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
27 in your programs, for future compatibility.
28 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
29 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
30 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
31 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
32 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
33 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
34 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
35 - new function: AnyEvent::postpone.
36 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
37 a debug shell.
38 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
39 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
40 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications $_ by the callback.
41 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
42 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
43 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
44 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
45 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
46 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
47 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
48 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
49 and (newly introduced) in POE.
50 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
51 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
52 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
53 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
54 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
55 (reported by Gerald Galster).
56 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
57 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
58 do not support blocking waits.
59 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
60 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
61 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
62 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
63 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
64 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
65 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
66 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
67
685.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
69 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
70 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
71 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
72
735.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
74 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
75 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
76 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
77 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
78 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
79 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
80 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
81 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
82 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
83 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
84 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
85 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
86 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
87
885.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
89 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
90 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
91 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
92 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
93 documentation for caveats.
94 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
95 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
96 AnyEvent::Handle).
97 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
98 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
99
1005.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
101 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
102 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
103 the availabilty of a default loop!
104 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
105 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
106 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
107 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
108 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
109 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
110 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
111 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
112
1135.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
114 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
115 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
116 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
117 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
118 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
119 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
120 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
121 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
122 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
123 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
124 as part of the perl core.
125 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
126 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
127 minimal perl...).
128
1295.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
130 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
131 actually used in tcp_server.
132 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
133 missing.
134 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
135 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
136 resulting in more informative error messages.
137 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
138 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
139 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
140 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
141 of AnyEvent::TLS.
142 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
143 requested by Ron Isaacson.
144 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
145 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
146 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
147 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
148 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
149
1505.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
151 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
152
1535.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
154 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
155 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
156 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
5 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many 157 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
6 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working. 158 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
7 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section. 159 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
160 - better/more condvar examples.
