86.0 (not officially released)
9 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
10 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve directly,
11 and ->request and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions
12 such as AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither
13 is AnyEvent::Socket.
14 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
15 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
16 methods.
17 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
18 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
19 - DEPRECIATION: please change
20 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
21 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
22 in your programs, for future compatibility.
23 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
24 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
25 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
26 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
27 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
28 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
29 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
30 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
31 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
32 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
33 a debug shell.
34 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
35 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
36 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
37 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications $_ by the callback.
38 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
39 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
40 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
41 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
42 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
43 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
44 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
45 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
46 and (newly introduced) in POE.
47 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
48 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
49 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
50 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
51 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
52 (reported by Gerald Galster).
53 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
54 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
55 do not support blocking waits.
56 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
57 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
58 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
59 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
60 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
61 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
62 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
63 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
64 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
65
665.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
67 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
68 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
69 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
70
715.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
72 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
73 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
74 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
75 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
76 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
77 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
78 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
79 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
80 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
81 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
82 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
83 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
84 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
85
865.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
87 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
88 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
89 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
90 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
91 documentation for caveats.
92 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
93 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
94 AnyEvent::Handle).
95 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
96 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
97
985.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
99 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
100 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
101 the availabilty of a default loop!
102 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
103 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
104 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
105 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
106 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
107 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
108 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
109 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
110
1115.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
112 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
113 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
114 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
115 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
116 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
117 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
118 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
119 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
120 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
121 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
122 as part of the perl core.
123 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
124 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
125 minimal perl...).
126
1275.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
128 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
129 actually used in tcp_server.
130 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
131 missing.
132 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
133 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
134 resulting in more informative error messages.
135 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
136 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
137 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
138 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
139 of AnyEvent::TLS.
140 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
141 requested by Ron Isaacson.
142 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
143 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
144 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
145 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
146 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
147
1485.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
149 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
150
1515.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
152 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
153 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
154 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
155 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
156 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
157 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
158 - better/more condvar examples.
159
1605.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
161 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
162 time (found by Andy Grundman).
163
1645.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
165 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
166 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
167 by Bas Denissen).
168 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
169 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
170 EV and Perl backends.
171 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
172 backends.
173 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
174 never documented nor universally supported).
175 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
176 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
177
1785.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
179 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
180 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
181 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
182
1835.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
184 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
185 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
186 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
187 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
188 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
189 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
190 by lucky accident on win32.
191 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
192 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
193 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
194 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
195 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
196 detection and eval.
197 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
198 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
199 (same algorithm as EV).
200 - update unicode idna mapping table.
201
2025.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
203 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
204 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
205 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
206 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.

35.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009 2085.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
4 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect. 209 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
5 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep, 210 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
6 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util. 211 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.

383 client would first wait for some data by the server and 588 client would first wait for some data by the server and
384 otherwise hang. (reported and analysed in an absolutely 589 otherwise hang. (reported and analysed in an absolutely
