106.01
11 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
12 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
13 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
14 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
15 AnyEvent::Socket.
16 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
17 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
18 methods.
19 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
20 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
21 - DEPRECIATION: please change
22 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
23 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
24 in your programs, for future compatibility.
25 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
26 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
27 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
28 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
29 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
30 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
31 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
32 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
33 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
34 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
35 a debug shell.
36 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
37 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
38 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
39 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications $_ by the callback
40 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
41 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
42 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
43 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
44 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
45 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
46 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
47 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
48 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
49 and (newly introduced) in POE.
50 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
51 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
52 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
53 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
54 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
55 (reported by Gerald Galster).
56 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
57 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
58 do not support blocking waits.
59 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
60 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
61 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
62 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
63 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
64 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
65 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
66 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
67 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
68 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
69
706.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)
71
725.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
73 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
74 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
75 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
76
775.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
78 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
79 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
80 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
81 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
82 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
83 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
84 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
85 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
86 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
87 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
88 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
89 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
90 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
91
925.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
93 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
94 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
95 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
96 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
97 documentation for caveats.
98 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
99 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
100 AnyEvent::Handle).
101 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
102 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
103
1045.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
105 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
106 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
107 the availabilty of a default loop!
108 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
109 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
110 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
111 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
112 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
113 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
114 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
115 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
116
1175.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
118 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
119 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
120 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
121 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
122 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
123 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
124 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
125 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
126 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
127 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
128 as part of the perl core.
129 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
130 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
131 minimal perl...).
132
1335.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
134 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
135 actually used in tcp_server.
136 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
137 missing.
138 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
139 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
140 resulting in more informative error messages.
141 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
142 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
143 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
144 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
145 of AnyEvent::TLS.
146 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
147 requested by Ron Isaacson.
148 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
149 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
150 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
151 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
152 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
153
1545.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
155 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
156
1575.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
158 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
159 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
160 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
161 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
162 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
163 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
164 - better/more condvar examples.
165
1665.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
167 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
168 time (found by Andy Grundman).
169
1705.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
171 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
172 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
173 by Bas Denissen).
174 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
175 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
176 EV and Perl backends.
177 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
178 backends.
179 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
180 never documented nor universally supported).
181 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
182 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
183
1845.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
185 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
186 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
187 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
188
1895.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
190 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
191 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
192 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
193 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
3 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6. 194 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
4 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only 195 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
5 by lucky accident on win32. 196 by lucky accident on win32.
6 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking. 197 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
198 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
199 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
200 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
201 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
202 detection and eval.
203 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
204 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
205 (same algorithm as EV).
206 - update unicode idna mapping table.

9 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives 209 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
10 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and 210 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
