2 2
3 - add some recommends to the META.yml. 3TODO: document TCP_*** constants
4
5TODO: AnyEvent::Log
6TODO: check for #TODO
76.01
8 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
9 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
10 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
11 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
12 AnyEvent::Socket.
13 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
14 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
15 methods.
16 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
17 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
18 - DEPRECIATION: please change
19 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
20 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
21 in your programs, for future compatibility.
22 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
23 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
24 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
25 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
26 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
27 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
28 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
29 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
30 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
31 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
32 a debug shell.
33 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
34 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
35 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
36 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications $_ by the callback.
37 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
38 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
39 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
40 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
41 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
42 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
43 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
44 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
45 and (newly introduced) in POE.
46 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
47 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
48 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
49 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
50 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
51 (reported by Gerald Galster).
52 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
53 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
54 do not support blocking waits.
55 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
56 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
57 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
58 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
59 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
60 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
61 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
62 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
63 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
64
656.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)
66
675.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
68 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
69 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
70 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
71
725.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
73 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
74 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
75 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
76 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
77 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
78 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
79 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
80 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
81 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
82 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
83 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
84 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
85 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
86
875.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
88 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
89 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
90 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
91 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
92 documentation for caveats.
93 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
94 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
95 AnyEvent::Handle).
96 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
97 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
98
995.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
100 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
101 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
102 the availabilty of a default loop!
103 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
104 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
105 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
106 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
107 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
108 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
109 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
110 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
111
1125.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
113 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
114 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
115 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
116 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
117 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
118 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
119 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
120 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
121 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
122 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
123 as part of the perl core.
124 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
125 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
126 minimal perl...).
127
1285.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
129 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
130 actually used in tcp_server.
131 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
132 missing.
133 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
134 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
135 resulting in more informative error messages.
136 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
137 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
138 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
139 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
140 of AnyEvent::TLS.
141 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
142 requested by Ron Isaacson.
143 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
144 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
145 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
146 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
147 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
148
1495.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
150 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
151
1525.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
153 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
154 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
155 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
156 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
157 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
158 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
159 - better/more condvar examples.
160
1615.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
162 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
163 time (found by Andy Grundman).
164
1655.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
166 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
167 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
168 by Bas Denissen).
169 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
170 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
171 EV and Perl backends.
172 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
173 backends.
174 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
175 never documented nor universally supported).
176 - some more memory µ-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
177 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
178
1795.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
180 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
181 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
182 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
183
1845.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
185 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
186 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
187 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
188 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
189 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
190 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
191 by lucky accident on win32.
192 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
193 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
194 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
195 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
196 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
197 detection and eval.
198 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
199 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
200 (same algorithm as EV).
201 - update unicode idna mapping table.
202
2035.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
204 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
205 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
206 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
207 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
208
2095.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
210 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
211 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
212 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
213 - provide $AE::VERSION.
214 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
215
2165.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
217 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
218 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
219 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
220 when passing scalar data to extensions).
221 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
222 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
223 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
224 (John Beppu).
225 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
226 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
227 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
228 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
229
2305.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
231 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
232 (spotted by David Friedland).
233 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
234 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
235 unless you rip out everything but the core).
236 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
237 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
238
2395.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
240 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
241 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
242 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
243 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
244 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
245
2465.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
247 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
248 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
249 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
250 (analysed by elmex).
251
2525.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
253 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
254 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
255 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
256 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
257 AnyEvent::Handle.
258 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
259 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
260 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
261 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
262
2635.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
264 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
265 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
266 by Michael S. Fischer).
267 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
268 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
269 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
270 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
271 by default.
272 - fix some prototypes.
273 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
274 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
275
2765.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
277 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
278 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
279 - port to broken win32 perls.
280
2815.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
282 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
283 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
284 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
285 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
286 OSes as well).
287
2885.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
289 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
290 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
291 to reduce dependency on JSON.
292
2935.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
294 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
295 one (was broken since 4.91).
296 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
297 when retrying a tcp_connect.
298 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
299 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
300
3015.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
302 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
303
3045.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
305 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
306 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
307 in AnyEvent::Handle.
308 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
309 settings.
310 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
311 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
312 exporting the probe function).
313 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
314 code to work around it's watcher limits.
315 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
316 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
317 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
318 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
319 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
320
3214.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
322 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
323 already contains some TLS handshake.
324 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
325 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
326 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
327 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
328 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
329
3304.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
331 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
332 a negative value, so avoid that.
333 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
334 after the condition is already signalled.
335 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
336 data.
337 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
338 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
339 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
340 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
341 any issues).
342 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
343 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
344 by name (not name or number).
345 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
346 only compiling signal code when necessary.
347 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
348 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
349 said future/alternative API.
350 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
351
3524.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
353 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
354 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
355 (analysed by elmex).
356
3574.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
358 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
359 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
360 for errors after every push_write etc.
361 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
362 platforms.
363
3644.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
365 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
366 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
367 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
368 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
369 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
370 tutorial accordingly.
371 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
372
3734.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
374 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
375 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
376 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
377 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
378 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
379 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
380 in IO::Async.
381
3824.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
383 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
384 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
385 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
386 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
387 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
388 documentation.
389 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
390 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
391 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
392 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
393 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
394 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
395
3964.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
397 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
398 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
399 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
400 this trap.
401 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
402 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
403 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
404 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
405 on_read callbacks.
406 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
407
4084.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
409 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
410 callbacks.
411 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
412 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
413 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
414 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
415 Event::Lib.
416 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
417 to rarely fail.
418
4194.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
420 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
421 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
422 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
423 in AnyEvent->io.
424 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
425 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
426 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
427 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
428 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
429 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
430 portable_socketpair.
431 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
432 YMMV.
433
4344.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
435 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
436 uppercase targets.
437 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
438 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
439 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
440 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
441 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
442 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
443 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
444 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
445 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
446 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
447 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
448 in the common case.
449 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
450 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
451 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
452 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
453 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
454 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
455 from the constructor.
456 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
457 then fall back to JSON.
458 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
459 and because it was documented that way.
460
4614.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
462 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
463 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
464
4654.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
466 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
467 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
468 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
469 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
470 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
471 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
472 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
473 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
474 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
475
4764.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
477 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
478 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
479 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
480 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
481 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
482
4834.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
484 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
485 and set it on the default resolver.
486 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
487 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
488 when running in tainted mode.
489 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
490
4914.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
492 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
493
4944.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
495 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
496 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
497 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
498 destructors.
499 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
500 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
501 implementation.
502 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
503 for cosmetic reasons.
504
5054.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
506 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
507 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
508 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
509 - sped up Tk timer handling.
510 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
511 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
512 - fix Qt timers without interval.
513 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
514
5154.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
516 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
517 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
518 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
519
5204.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
521 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
522 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
523 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
524 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
525
5264.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
527 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
528 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
529 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
530 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
531 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
532 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
533 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
534 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
535 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
536 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
537 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
538
5394.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
540 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
541 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
542 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
543 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
544 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
545 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
546 backend.
547 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
548
5494.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
550 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
551 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
552 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
553 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
554 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
555 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
556
5574.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
558 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
559 illegal.
560 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
561 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
562 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
563 by Adam Rosenstein).
564 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
565 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
566 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
567
5684.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
569 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
570 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
571 the socket type.
572 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
573
5744.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
575 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
576 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
577 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
578 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
579 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
580 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
581
5824.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
583 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
584 unless one has been installed already.
585 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
586 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
587 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle.
588 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
589 client would first wait for some data by the server and
590 otherwise hang. (reported and analysed in an absolutely
591 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
592 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
593 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
594 (reported and analysed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
595 Rosenstein).
596 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
597 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
598 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
599 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
600 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
601 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
602 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
603 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
604 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
605 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
606 now, more to come, though.
607 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
608
6094.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
610 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
611 no trace events.
612 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
613 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
614 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
615 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
616 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
617 Time::HiRes).
618
6194.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
620 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
621 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
622
6234.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
624 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
625 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
626 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
627 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
628
6294.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
630 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
631 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
632 perls without resource leaks or worse).
633
6344.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
635 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
636 the callback.
637 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
638 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
639 eol marker.
640 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
641 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
642 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
643
6444.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
645 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
646 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
647 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
648 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
649 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
650
6514.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
652 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
653 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
654 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
655 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
656 unusable way.
657 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
658 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
659 K. Sharifulin).
660
6614.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
662 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
663 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
664 be delayed under some circumstances.
665 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
666 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
667 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
668 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
669 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
670 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
671
6724.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
673 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
674 assumption that all data could be written before read
675 (reported by Jim Razmus).
676
6774.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
678 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
679 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
680 implementation (also affected child watchers).
681 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
682
6834.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
684 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
685 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
686 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
687
6884.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
689 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
690 works.
691
6924.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
693 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
694 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
695 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
696 for AnyEvent::Handle.
697 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
698 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
699
7004.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
701 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
702 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
703 executing the guard block as warnings.
704 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
705
7064.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
707 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
708 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
709 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
710 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
711 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
712 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
713 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
714 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
715 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
716 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
717 enter an endless loop.
718 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
719 busy again after idling.
720 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
721 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
722 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
723 (hopefully).
724 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
725 away any time.
726
7274.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
728 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
729 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
730 - allow more options in on_error.
731
7324.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
733 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
734 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
735 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
736 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
737 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
738 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
739 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
740 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
741 rfc 2782.
742 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
743 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
744 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
745 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
746 could die. this has been fixed.
747 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
748 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
749 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
750 for resolver class.
751 - update version numbers in all modules.
752
7534.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
754 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
755 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
756 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
757 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
758 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
759 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
760 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
761 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
762 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
763 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.

10 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this 771 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
11 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops, 772 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
12 but EV also works around this). 773 but EV also works around this).
774 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
13 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle 775 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
14 vs. callback arguments. 776 vs. callback arguments.
