18 - AnyEvent::Handle->keepalive was documented (and defined) twice
19 (found by Matt Merhar).
12 20
136.0 (not officially released) 217.13 Sat Sep 17 04:31:49 CEST 2016
22 - Only call tlsext_host_name for non-empty common names (reported
23 by Maxime Soulé).
24 - log a (single) notice message if SNI is not supported.
25 - upgrade to UTS-46:9.0.0 draft and switch to non-transitional
26 behaviour, beating thunderbird, ie, edge, chrome and safari to it :)
27 (see also https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1218179)
28 - turns out the UTS-46 IDNA testcase failures were indeed bugs in the
29 testcases and the specification and not in the code - the post-9.0.0
30 unicode files have all known problems fixed, so finally the AnyEvent
31 IDNA implementation can pass the full IDNA testsuite - without needing
32 a single fix :)
33 - guarantee (and document) that condvar callbacks will be removed
34 on invocation - important to avoid circular references.
35
367.12 Wed Jan 27 19:12:26 CET 2016
37 - use common name as hostname for tls connects, if Net::SSLeay
38 supports SNI.
39 - fix documentation of tls_autostart read type in AnyEvent::Handle,
40 analyzed by Felix Ostmann.
41
427.11 Thu Jul 16 14:36:00 CEST 2015
43 - AnyEvent::Socket::parse_ipv6 could accept malformed ipv6
44 addresses (extra "::" at end and similar cases).
45 - add a more explicit warning to AnyEvent::Handle that it doesn't
46 work on files, people keep getting confused.
47 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::tcp_bind.
48 - new functions AnyEvent::fh_block and AnyEvent::fh_unblock.
49 - aligned ipv6 address formatting with RFC 5952 (by not shortening
50 a single :0: to ::).
51 - added stability canary support.
52
537.09 Sat May 2 16:38:53 CEST 2015
54 - AnyEvent::Debug called an internal function (AnyEvent::Log::ft)
55 that was renamed to AnyEvent::Log:format_time. uinder its old name
56 (analyzed by Michael Stovenour).
57 - update AnyEvent::DNS fallback resolver addresses:
58 seems google effectively killed most other free dns resolvers,
59 so remove them, but add cable and wireless (ecrc) since it was
60 stable for 20 years or so, official or not, and there should be
61 an alternative to google.
62 - perl5porters broke windows error codes in 5.20, and mapped
63 WSAEWOULDBLOCK on the (different) EWOULDBLOCK error code, and
64 WSAEINPROGRESS into the incompatible ERINPROGRESS code, probably
65 because they were so cool. They probably broke other error codes
66 for no reason, too, but I didn't care for checking, it's too
67 depressing. This version only works around the WSAEWOULDBLOCK
68 issue, because I don't have a nice way to work around the
69 WSAEINPROGRESS bug.
70
717.08 Wed Dec 10 05:27:17 CET 2014
72 - work around a newly introduced bug in Socket 2.011 (an
73 errornous sun_length check) (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
74 - AnyEvent::TLS didn't load (but refer to) AnyEvent::Socket
75 (analyzed by Ben Magistro).
76 - AnyEvent::Strict will now confess, not croak. This is in line with
77 it being a development/debugging tool.
78 - work around a number of libglib bugs (debug builds of libglib enforce
79 certain undocumented behaviour patterns such as not being able to
80 remove a child watch source after it has fired, which we will try
81 to emulate to avoid "criticals". what where they thinking...).
82 - mention json security issues in AnyEvent::Handle, now that Douglas
83 Crockford has foolishly and incompatibly changed JSON.
84 - changed default dns resolver "max_outstanding" value from 1 to 10,
85 the latter beinfg the intended value all along
86 (reported by Ilya Chesnokov).
87 - added new "AnyEvent::Impl::UV" interface module to the UV event lib
88 (written by Mike Lowell).
89
907.07 Tue Dec 17 17:45:02 CET 2013
91 - the documentation for custom tls verify schemes was wrong. make it agree
92 with the code (reported by Maxime Soulé).
93 - added cbor read and write types to AnyEvent::Handle (using CBOR::XS).
94 - work around an API change in openssl that could cause wrong tls connection
95 aborts, likely on windows only (analyzed by sten).
96 - calling AnyEvent->now_update with AnyEvent::Impl::Perl caused an
97 endless loop (reported by Dietrich Rebmann).
98 - add tlsv1_1 and tlsv1_2 protocols to AnyEvent::TLS
99 (patch by Maxime Soulé).
100 - document AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync::set_loop and
101 $AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync::LOOP. Though only documented now, this
102 functionality has _always_ been available.
103 - force a toplevel domain name in t/81_hosts.t (analyzed by
104 David Jack Wange Olrik).
105 - document that AnyEvent::Log uses AnyEvent::IO.
106 - warn about AnyEvent::Filesys::Notify performance.
107 - praise the joys of AnyEvent::Fork::*.
108 - time for an =encoding directive.
109 - do no longer use JSON to create a default json coder, use
110 JSON::XS or JSON::PP directly.
111
1127.05 Wed Aug 21 10:38:08 CEST 2013
113 - uts46data.pl couldn't be found due to wrong naming of the file
114 (reported by Fulko Hew).
115 - handle lone \015's properly in AE::Handle's default line read
116 (reported by various people).
117 - untaint ip addresses found in /etc/hosts (patch by José Micó).
118 - the memleak fix in 7.03 caused resolving via /etc/hosts to always
119 fail on first use (reported and testcase by Andrew Whatson).
120 - expose AnyEvent::Log::format_time, and allow users to redefine it.
121 - expose AnyEvent::Log::default_format, and allow redefinition.
122 - expose AnyEvent::Log::fatal_exit, to allow redefinition.
123 - AnyEvent::Debug shell can now run coro shell commands, if available.
124 - t/63* tests were wrongly in MANIFEST.
125 - kernel.org's finger server went MIA, switch to freebsd.org and
126 icculus.org.
127 - clarify that IO::AIO and AnyEvent::AIO are needed for AnyEvent::IO
128 to function asynchronously (reported by Daniel Carosone).
129 - hard-disable $^W in most tests, it generates too much garbage output.
130 - use a (hopefully) more future-proof method to emulate common::sense.
131 - upgrade to UTS-46:6.2.0.
132 - switch to INSTLIB from INSTLIBDIR, as INSTLIBDIR was wrongly
133 documented. should not affect anything.
134
1357.04 Thu Nov 15 02:23:58 CET 2012
136 - debugging code left in.
137
1387.03 Thu Nov 15 02:16:11 CET 2012
139 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton did not work when dns resolution was
140 used to find the addresses (analyzed and patch by Maxime Soulé).
141 - fix a memory leak in the /etc/hosts lookup code when hosts don't
142 resolve and are not in hosts (analyzed by sten).
143
1447.02 Tue Aug 14 04:27:58 CEST 2012
145 - AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd could block indefinitely (analyzed and test
146 program by Yorhel).
147 - verified that AnyEvent::Socket follows RFC5952.
148 - try to parse "ADDR#PORT" in addition to "ADDR PORT".
149
1507.01 Sun May 13 01:03:17 CEST 2012
151 - fail with EPROTO in AnyEvent::Handle wqhen TLS is requested but
152 not available, instead of throwing an exception.
153 - use File::Spec to get the tmpdir in t/*, to avoid needless
154 failures on (most, not mine :) windows boxes.
155 - new handle read types: tls_detect and tls_autostart.
156
1577.0 Fri Apr 13 06:33:30 CEST 2012
158 - child watchers are broken in POE 1.352 (also many earlier
159 versions) and there seems to be no way to work around it, as POE
160 itself is inherently racy. Document this regression and add a delay
161 in t/68_poe_03_child.t for the time being.
162 - new module AnyEvent::IO, that is a frontend to either a pure-perl
163 synchronous I/O implementation (AnyEvent::IO::Perl), or to the
164 asynchronous I/O extension IO::AIO (AnyEvent::IO::IOAIO).
165 - load /etc/hosts only when DNS has no answer.
166 - stat /etc/hosts on every access and reload it if it changed.
167 - load /etc/hosts via AnyEvent::IO - potentially asynchronous.
168 - fix a buggy croak in the dh parameter reading in AnyEvent::TLS.
169 - AnyEvent::Log log_to_file and log_to_path now use AnyEvent::IO. As
170 a side effect, they now use true appending as opposed to libc
171 appending, and the file might not have been opened when the function
172 returns.
173 - the default logging level was not properly documented in a variety of
174 places, this has hopefully been rectified.
175 - updated uts46data.pl for unicode 6.1.0.
176 - made log messages generated by AnyEvent submodules not
177 include the package name anymore, as it will be logged
178 by default already.
179 - upgrade to the trick used by common-sense 3.5 to work
180 around extra warning torture/breakage under perl 5.15.x.
181 - log messages by anyevent are now ucfirst, are usually full
182 sentences and do no longer include the package name.
183 - the storable read type would sometimes throw an exception instead
184 of causing EBADMSG (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
185 - work around a bug in openssl 1.0.1 which enforces a minimum rsa
186 keysize (reported by Paul Howarth).
187 - documented Rocco fabricating statements about AnyEvent and me.
188
1896.14 Tue Jan 31 20:00:24 CET 2012
190 - AnyEvent::Impl::Tk was broken due to a mysterious "die" inside,
191 probably an editing mistake (reported by Darin McBride).
192
1936.13 Thu Jan 12 07:27:01 CET 2012
194 - AnyEvent::Util::fork_call checked for POSIX availability in the wrong way,
195 causing it to fail if POSIX wasn't loaded already (analysed by Rock Power).
196 - AnyEvent::Handle::push_read (line => did pass $1 directly, so
197 regex-matching inside the callback would change the parameter, despite
198 $1 being dynamically scoped per-block. this perl bug is now being
199 worked around (testcase by Cindy Wang).
200
2016.12 Mon Dec 12 13:21:10 CET 2011
202 - $! was clobbered by subsequent calls in tcp_connect, due to
203 the postpone not saving/restoring it (analyzed by Richard Garnish).
204
2056.11 Tue Nov 22 10:36:05 CET 2011
206 - Tk cannot create windows when tainted unless you set a title, so
207 set a dummy title for AnyEvent's dummy mainwindow. How dummy.
208 - escape any nonprintable/nonascii characters when stringifying
209 backtraces.
210 - log the reason loading an interface module fails to load at level debug.
211
2126.1 Tue Oct 4 19:44:30 CEST 2011
213 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
214 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
215 to higher log levels to print by default.
216 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
217 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
218 how that module sucks.
219 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
220 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
221 of 127.0.0.1).
222 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
223 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
224 - AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to.
225 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
226 intervals.
227 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
228 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
229 which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
230 delivery.
231 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
232 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
233 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
234 of the context as title.
235 - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback
236 died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging...
237 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
238 to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
239 to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
240 attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
241 AnyEvent.
242
2436.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
244 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
245 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
246 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
247 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
248 to work around.
249 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
250
2516.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011
