217.11 Thu Jul 16 14:36:00 CEST 2015
22 - AnyEvent::Socket::parse_ipv6 could accept malformed ipv6
23 addresses (extra "::" at end and similar cases).
24 - add a more explicit warning to AnyEvent::Handle that it doesn't
25 work on files, people keep getting confused.
26 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::tcp_bind.
27 - new functions AnyEvent::fh_block and AnyEvent::fh_unblock.
28 - aligned ipv6 address formatting with RFC 5952 (by not shortening
29 a single :0: to ::).
30 - added stability canary support.
31
327.09 Sat May 2 16:38:53 CEST 2015
33 - AnyEvent::Debug called an internal function (AnyEvent::Log::ft)
34 that was renamed to AnyEvent::Log:format_time. uinder its old name
35 (analyzed by Michael Stovenour).
36 - update AnyEvent::DNS fallback resolver addresses:
37 seems google effectively killed most other free dns resolvers,
38 so remove them, but add cable and wireless (ecrc) since it was
39 stable for 20 years or so, official or not, and there should be
40 an alternative to google.
41 - perl5porters broke windows error codes in 5.20, and mapped
42 WSAEWOULDBLOCK on the (different) EWOULDBLOCK error code, and
43 WSAEINPROGRESS into the incompatible ERINPROGRESS code, probably
44 because they were so cool. They probably broke other error codes
45 for no reason, too, but I didn't care for checking, it's too
46 depressing. This version only works around the WSAEWOULDBLOCK
47 issue, because I don't have a nice way to work around the
48 WSAEINPROGRESS bug.
49
507.08 Wed Dec 10 05:27:17 CET 2014
51 - work around a newly introduced bug in Socket 2.011 (an
52 errornous sun_length check) (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
53 - AnyEvent::TLS didn't load (but refer to) AnyEvent::Socket
54 (analyzed by Ben Magistro).
55 - AnyEvent::Strict will now confess, not croak. This is in line with
56 it being a development/debugging tool.
57 - work around a number of libglib bugs (debug builds of libglib enforce
58 certain undocumented behaviour patterns such as not being able to
59 remove a child watch source after it has fired, which we will try
60 to emulate to avoid "criticals". what where they thinking...).
61 - mention json security issues in AnyEvent::Handle, now that Douglas
62 Crockford has foolishly and incompatibly changed JSON.
63 - changed default dns resolver "max_outstanding" value from 1 to 10,
64 the latter beinfg the intended value all along
65 (reported by Ilya Chesnokov).
66 - added new "AnyEvent::Impl::UV" interface module to the UV event lib
67 (written by Mike Lowell).
68
697.07 Tue Dec 17 17:45:02 CET 2013
70 - the documentation for custom tls verify schemes was wrong. make it agree
71 with the code (reported by Maxime Soulé).
72 - added cbor read and write types to AnyEvent::Handle (using CBOR::XS).
73 - work around an API change in openssl that could cause wrong tls connection
74 aborts, likely on windows only (analyzed by sten).
75 - calling AnyEvent->now_update with AnyEvent::Impl::Perl caused an
76 endless loop (reported by Dietrich Rebmann).
77 - add tlsv1_1 and tlsv1_2 protocols to AnyEvent::TLS
78 (patch by Maxime Soulé).
79 - document AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync::set_loop and
80 $AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync::LOOP. Though only documented now, this
81 functionality has _always_ been available.
82 - force a toplevel domain name in t/81_hosts.t (analyzed by
83 David Jack Wange Olrik).
84 - document that AnyEvent::Log uses AnyEvent::IO.
85 - warn about AnyEvent::Filesys::Notify performance.
86 - praise the joys of AnyEvent::Fork::*.
87 - time for an =encoding directive.
88 - do no longer use JSON to create a default json coder, use
89 JSON::XS or JSON::PP directly.
90
917.05 Wed Aug 21 10:38:08 CEST 2013
92 - uts46data.pl couldn't be found due to wrong naming of the file
93 (reported by Fulko Hew).
94 - handle lone \015's properly in AE::Handle's default line read
95 (reported by various people).
96 - untaint ip addresses found in /etc/hosts (patch by José Micó).
97 - the memleak fix in 7.03 caused resolving via /etc/hosts to always
98 fail on first use (reported and testcase by Andrew Whatson).
99 - expose AnyEvent::Log::format_time, and allow users to redefine it.
100 - expose AnyEvent::Log::default_format, and allow redefinition.
101 - expose AnyEvent::Log::fatal_exit, to allow redefinition.
102 - AnyEvent::Debug shell can now run coro shell commands, if available.
103 - t/63* tests were wrongly in MANIFEST.
104 - kernel.org's finger server went MIA, switch to freebsd.org and
105 icculus.org.
106 - clarify that IO::AIO and AnyEvent::AIO are needed for AnyEvent::IO
107 to function asynchronously (reported by Daniel Carosone).
108 - hard-disable $^W in most tests, it generates too much garbage output.
109 - use a (hopefully) more future-proof method to emulate common::sense.
110 - upgrade to UTS-46:6.2.0.
111 - switch to INSTLIB from INSTLIBDIR, as INSTLIBDIR was wrongly
112 documented. should not affect anything.
113
1147.04 Thu Nov 15 02:23:58 CET 2012
115 - debugging code left in.
116
1177.03 Thu Nov 15 02:16:11 CET 2012
118 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton did not work when dns resolution was
119 used to find the addresses (analyzed and patch by Maxime Soulé).
120 - fix a memory leak in the /etc/hosts lookup code when hosts don't
121 resolve and are not in hosts (analyzed by sten).
122
1237.02 Tue Aug 14 04:27:58 CEST 2012
124 - AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd could block indefinitely (analyzed and test
125 program by Yorhel).
126 - verified that AnyEvent::Socket follows RFC5952.
127 - try to parse "ADDR#PORT" in addition to "ADDR PORT".
128
1297.01 Sun May 13 01:03:17 CEST 2012
130 - fail with EPROTO in AnyEvent::Handle wqhen TLS is requested but
131 not available, instead of throwing an exception.
132 - use File::Spec to get the tmpdir in t/*, to avoid needless
133 failures on (most, not mine :) windows boxes.
134 - new handle read types: tls_detect and tls_autostart.
135
1367.0 Fri Apr 13 06:33:30 CEST 2012
137 - child watchers are broken in POE 1.352 (also many earlier
138 versions) and there seems to be no way to work around it, as POE
139 itself is inherently racy. Document this regression and add a delay
140 in t/68_poe_03_child.t for the time being.
141 - new module AnyEvent::IO, that is a frontend to either a pure-perl
142 synchronous I/O implementation (AnyEvent::IO::Perl), or to the
143 asynchronous I/O extension IO::AIO (AnyEvent::IO::IOAIO).
144 - load /etc/hosts only when DNS has no answer.
145 - stat /etc/hosts on every access and reload it if it changed.
146 - load /etc/hosts via AnyEvent::IO - potentially asynchronous.
147 - fix a buggy croak in the dh parameter reading in AnyEvent::TLS.
148 - AnyEvent::Log log_to_file and log_to_path now use AnyEvent::IO. As
149 a side effect, they now use true appending as opposed to libc
150 appending, and the file might not have been opened when the function
151 returns.
152 - the default logging level was not properly documented in a variety of
153 places, this has hopefully been rectified.
154 - updated uts46data.pl for unicode 6.1.0.
155 - made log messages generated by AnyEvent submodules not
156 include the package name anymore, as it will be logged
157 by default already.
158 - upgrade to the trick used by common-sense 3.5 to work
159 around extra warning torture/breakage under perl 5.15.x.
160 - log messages by anyevent are now ucfirst, are usually full
161 sentences and do no longer include the package name.
162 - the storable read type would sometimes throw an exception instead
163 of causing EBADMSG (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
164 - work around a bug in openssl 1.0.1 which enforces a minimum rsa
165 keysize (reported by Paul Howarth).
166 - documented Rocco fabricating statements about AnyEvent and me.
167
1686.14 Tue Jan 31 20:00:24 CET 2012
169 - AnyEvent::Impl::Tk was broken due to a mysterious "die" inside,
170 probably an editing mistake (reported by Darin McBride).
171
1726.13 Thu Jan 12 07:27:01 CET 2012
173 - AnyEvent::Util::fork_call checked for POSIX availability in the wrong way,
174 causing it to fail if POSIX wasn't loaded already (analysed by Rock Power).
175 - AnyEvent::Handle::push_read (line => did pass $1 directly, so
176 regex-matching inside the callback would change the parameter, despite
177 $1 being dynamically scoped per-block. this perl bug is now being
178 worked around (testcase by Cindy Wang).
179
1806.12 Mon Dec 12 13:21:10 CET 2011
181 - $! was clobbered by subsequent calls in tcp_connect, due to
182 the postpone not saving/restoring it (analyzed by Richard Garnish).
183
1846.11 Tue Nov 22 10:36:05 CET 2011
185 - Tk cannot create windows when tainted unless you set a title, so
186 set a dummy title for AnyEvent's dummy mainwindow. How dummy.
187 - escape any nonprintable/nonascii characters when stringifying
188 backtraces.
189 - log the reason loading an interface module fails to load at level debug.
190
1916.1 Tue Oct 4 19:44:30 CEST 2011
192 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
193 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
194 to higher log levels to print by default.
195 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
196 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
197 how that module sucks.
198 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
199 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
200 of 127.0.0.1).
201 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
202 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
203 - AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to.
204 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
205 intervals.
206 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
207 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
208 which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
209 delivery.
210 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
211 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
212 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
213 of the context as title.
214 - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback
215 died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging...
216 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
217 to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
218 to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
219 attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
220 AnyEvent.
221
2226.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
223 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
224 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
225 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
226 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
227 to work around.
228 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
229
2306.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011
11 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include 231 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
12 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request 232 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
13 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as 233 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
14 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is 234 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
