20 - AnyEvent::Socket::parse_ipv6 would NOT, as advertised, accept ipv4
21 addresses. It now does and converts them to ipv4 mapped addresses.
22 - support CAA records, based on patch by Steve Atkins.
23 - add freenom and cloudflare nameservers as dns fallback.
14 24
156.0 (not officially released) 257.14 Sat Jun 24 01:44:19 CEST 2017
26 - fix a crash bug in AnyEvent::Handle with openssl 1.1.0 (patched
27 by Paul Howarth and apparently tracked down by Mike McCauley).
28 - AnyEvent::Handle->keepalive was documented (and defined) twice
29 (found by Matt Merhar).
30 - AnyEvent::Socket::tcp_bind/tcp_server would immediately unlink a unix
31 listening socket unless a guard is used. Change this so that no
32 cleanup will be performed unless a guard is used and document this more
33 clearly.
34 - make tcp_bind/tcp_server error messages more regular.
35 - work around latest perl upstream breakage - this time, perl5porters were
36 apparently bullied by a bogus CVE (CVE-2016-1238), and since distros
37 stupidly apply anything that has "security fix" stamped on it, it's likely
38 going to be a problem in practise (and working around it is trivial on
39 windows and unix).
40 - add TCP_FASTOPEN/MSG_FASTOPEN and MSG_NOSIGNAL/MSG_MORE/MSG_DONTWAIT
41 to constants.
42 - update warnings to common::sense 3.74 standards.
43
447.13 Sat Sep 17 04:31:49 CEST 2016
45 - Only call tlsext_host_name for non-empty common names (reported
46 by Maxime Soulé).
47 - log a (single) notice message if SNI is not supported.
48 - upgrade to UTS-46:9.0.0 draft and switch to non-transitional
49 behaviour, beating thunderbird, ie, edge, chrome and safari to it :)
50 (see also https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1218179)
51 - turns out the UTS-46 IDNA testcase failures were indeed bugs in the
52 testcases and the specification and not in the code - the post-9.0.0
53 unicode files have all known problems fixed, so finally the AnyEvent
54 IDNA implementation can pass the full IDNA testsuite - without needing
55 a single fix :)
56 - guarantee (and document) that condvar callbacks will be removed
57 on invocation - important to avoid circular references.
58
597.12 Wed Jan 27 19:12:26 CET 2016
60 - use common name as hostname for tls connects, if Net::SSLeay
61 supports SNI.
62 - fix documentation of tls_autostart read type in AnyEvent::Handle,
63 analyzed by Felix Ostmann.
64
657.11 Thu Jul 16 14:36:00 CEST 2015
66 - AnyEvent::Socket::parse_ipv6 could accept malformed ipv6
67 addresses (extra "::" at end and similar cases).
68 - add a more explicit warning to AnyEvent::Handle that it doesn't
69 work on files, people keep getting confused.
70 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::tcp_bind.
71 - new functions AnyEvent::fh_block and AnyEvent::fh_unblock.
72 - aligned ipv6 address formatting with RFC 5952 (by not shortening
73 a single :0: to ::).
74 - added stability canary support.
75
767.09 Sat May 2 16:38:53 CEST 2015
77 - AnyEvent::Debug called an internal function (AnyEvent::Log::ft)
78 that was renamed to AnyEvent::Log:format_time. uinder its old name
79 (analyzed by Michael Stovenour).
80 - update AnyEvent::DNS fallback resolver addresses:
81 seems google effectively killed most other free dns resolvers,
82 so remove them, but add cable and wireless (ecrc) since it was
83 stable for 20 years or so, official or not, and there should be
84 an alternative to google.
85 - perl5porters broke windows error codes in 5.20, and mapped
86 WSAEWOULDBLOCK on the (different) EWOULDBLOCK error code, and
87 WSAEINPROGRESS into the incompatible ERINPROGRESS code, probably
88 because they were so cool. They probably broke other error codes
89 for no reason, too, but I didn't care for checking, it's too
90 depressing. This version only works around the WSAEWOULDBLOCK
91 issue, because I don't have a nice way to work around the
92 WSAEINPROGRESS bug.
93
947.08 Wed Dec 10 05:27:17 CET 2014
95 - work around a newly introduced bug in Socket 2.011 (an
96 errornous sun_length check) (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
97 - AnyEvent::TLS didn't load (but refer to) AnyEvent::Socket
98 (analyzed by Ben Magistro).
99 - AnyEvent::Strict will now confess, not croak. This is in line with
100 it being a development/debugging tool.
101 - work around a number of libglib bugs (debug builds of libglib enforce
102 certain undocumented behaviour patterns such as not being able to
103 remove a child watch source after it has fired, which we will try
104 to emulate to avoid "criticals". what where they thinking...).
105 - mention json security issues in AnyEvent::Handle, now that Douglas
106 Crockford has foolishly and incompatibly changed JSON.
107 - changed default dns resolver "max_outstanding" value from 1 to 10,
108 the latter beinfg the intended value all along
109 (reported by Ilya Chesnokov).
110 - added new "AnyEvent::Impl::UV" interface module to the UV event lib
111 (written by Mike Lowell).
112
1137.07 Tue Dec 17 17:45:02 CET 2013
114 - the documentation for custom tls verify schemes was wrong. make it agree
115 with the code (reported by Maxime Soulé).
116 - added cbor read and write types to AnyEvent::Handle (using CBOR::XS).
117 - work around an API change in openssl that could cause wrong tls connection
118 aborts, likely on windows only (analyzed by sten).
119 - calling AnyEvent->now_update with AnyEvent::Impl::Perl caused an
120 endless loop (reported by Dietrich Rebmann).
121 - add tlsv1_1 and tlsv1_2 protocols to AnyEvent::TLS
122 (patch by Maxime Soulé).
123 - document AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync::set_loop and
124 $AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync::LOOP. Though only documented now, this
125 functionality has _always_ been available.
126 - force a toplevel domain name in t/81_hosts.t (analyzed by
127 David Jack Wange Olrik).
128 - document that AnyEvent::Log uses AnyEvent::IO.
129 - warn about AnyEvent::Filesys::Notify performance.
130 - praise the joys of AnyEvent::Fork::*.
131 - time for an =encoding directive.
132 - do no longer use JSON to create a default json coder, use
133 JSON::XS or JSON::PP directly.
134
1357.05 Wed Aug 21 10:38:08 CEST 2013
136 - uts46data.pl couldn't be found due to wrong naming of the file
137 (reported by Fulko Hew).
138 - handle lone \015's properly in AE::Handle's default line read
139 (reported by various people).
140 - untaint ip addresses found in /etc/hosts (patch by José Micó).
141 - the memleak fix in 7.03 caused resolving via /etc/hosts to always
142 fail on first use (reported and testcase by Andrew Whatson).
143 - expose AnyEvent::Log::format_time, and allow users to redefine it.
144 - expose AnyEvent::Log::default_format, and allow redefinition.
145 - expose AnyEvent::Log::fatal_exit, to allow redefinition.
146 - AnyEvent::Debug shell can now run coro shell commands, if available.
147 - t/63* tests were wrongly in MANIFEST.
148 - kernel.org's finger server went MIA, switch to freebsd.org and
149 icculus.org.
150 - clarify that IO::AIO and AnyEvent::AIO are needed for AnyEvent::IO
151 to function asynchronously (reported by Daniel Carosone).
152 - hard-disable $^W in most tests, it generates too much garbage output.
153 - use a (hopefully) more future-proof method to emulate common::sense.
154 - upgrade to UTS-46:6.2.0.
155 - switch to INSTLIB from INSTLIBDIR, as INSTLIBDIR was wrongly
156 documented. should not affect anything.
157
1587.04 Thu Nov 15 02:23:58 CET 2012
159 - debugging code left in.
160
1617.03 Thu Nov 15 02:16:11 CET 2012
162 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton did not work when dns resolution was
163 used to find the addresses (analyzed and patch by Maxime Soulé).
164 - fix a memory leak in the /etc/hosts lookup code when hosts don't
165 resolve and are not in hosts (analyzed by sten).
166
1677.02 Tue Aug 14 04:27:58 CEST 2012
168 - AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd could block indefinitely (analyzed and test
169 program by Yorhel).
170 - verified that AnyEvent::Socket follows RFC5952.
171 - try to parse "ADDR#PORT" in addition to "ADDR PORT".
172
1737.01 Sun May 13 01:03:17 CEST 2012
174 - fail with EPROTO in AnyEvent::Handle wqhen TLS is requested but
175 not available, instead of throwing an exception.
176 - use File::Spec to get the tmpdir in t/*, to avoid needless
177 failures on (most, not mine :) windows boxes.
178 - new handle read types: tls_detect and tls_autostart.
179
1807.0 Fri Apr 13 06:33:30 CEST 2012
181 - child watchers are broken in POE 1.352 (also many earlier
182 versions) and there seems to be no way to work around it, as POE
183 itself is inherently racy. Document this regression and add a delay
184 in t/68_poe_03_child.t for the time being.
185 - new module AnyEvent::IO, that is a frontend to either a pure-perl
186 synchronous I/O implementation (AnyEvent::IO::Perl), or to the
187 asynchronous I/O extension IO::AIO (AnyEvent::IO::IOAIO).
188 - load /etc/hosts only when DNS has no answer.
189 - stat /etc/hosts on every access and reload it if it changed.
190 - load /etc/hosts via AnyEvent::IO - potentially asynchronous.
191 - fix a buggy croak in the dh parameter reading in AnyEvent::TLS.
192 - AnyEvent::Log log_to_file and log_to_path now use AnyEvent::IO. As
193 a side effect, they now use true appending as opposed to libc
194 appending, and the file might not have been opened when the function
195 returns.
196 - the default logging level was not properly documented in a variety of
197 places, this has hopefully been rectified.
198 - updated uts46data.pl for unicode 6.1.0.
199 - made log messages generated by AnyEvent submodules not
200 include the package name anymore, as it will be logged
201 by default already.
202 - upgrade to the trick used by common-sense 3.5 to work
203 around extra warning torture/breakage under perl 5.15.x.
204 - log messages by anyevent are now ucfirst, are usually full
205 sentences and do no longer include the package name.
206 - the storable read type would sometimes throw an exception instead
207 of causing EBADMSG (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
208 - work around a bug in openssl 1.0.1 which enforces a minimum rsa
209 keysize (reported by Paul Howarth).
210 - documented Rocco fabricating statements about AnyEvent and me.
211
2126.14 Tue Jan 31 20:00:24 CET 2012
213 - AnyEvent::Impl::Tk was broken due to a mysterious "die" inside,
214 probably an editing mistake (reported by Darin McBride).
215
2166.13 Thu Jan 12 07:27:01 CET 2012
217 - AnyEvent::Util::fork_call checked for POSIX availability in the wrong way,
218 causing it to fail if POSIX wasn't loaded already (analysed by Rock Power).
219 - AnyEvent::Handle::push_read (line => did pass $1 directly, so
220 regex-matching inside the callback would change the parameter, despite
221 $1 being dynamically scoped per-block. this perl bug is now being
222 worked around (testcase by Cindy Wang).
223
2246.12 Mon Dec 12 13:21:10 CET 2011
225 - $! was clobbered by subsequent calls in tcp_connect, due to
226 the postpone not saving/restoring it (analyzed by Richard Garnish).
227
2286.11 Tue Nov 22 10:36:05 CET 2011
229 - Tk cannot create windows when tainted unless you set a title, so
230 set a dummy title for AnyEvent's dummy mainwindow. How dummy.
231 - escape any nonprintable/nonascii characters when stringifying
232 backtraces.
233 - log the reason loading an interface module fails to load at level debug.
234
2356.1 Tue Oct 4 19:44:30 CEST 2011
236 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
237 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
238 to higher log levels to print by default.
239 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
240 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
241 how that module sucks.
242 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
243 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
244 of 127.0.0.1).
245 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
246 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
247 - AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to.
248 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
249 intervals.
250 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
251 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
252 which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
253 delivery.
254 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
255 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
256 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
257 of the context as title.
258 - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback
259 died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging...
260 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
261 to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
262 to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
263 attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
264 AnyEvent.
265
2666.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
267 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
268 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
269 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
270 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
271 to work around.
272 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
273
2746.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011
16 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include 275 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include

21 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement 280 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
22 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll 281 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
23 methods. 282 methods.
283 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
284 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
24 - DEPRECIATION: please change 285 - DEPRECIATION: please change
