5TODO: AnyEvent::Log 127.07 Tue Dec 17 17:45:02 CET 2013
6TODO: ae::log examples 13 - the documentation for custom tls verify schemes was wrong. make it agree
7TODO: consolide slogging, e.g AnyEvent::Debug 14 with the code (reported by Maxime Soulé).
8TODO: log_to_xyz 15 - added cbor read and write types to AnyEvent::Handle (using CBOR::XS).
96.01 16 - work around an API change in openssl that could cause wrong tls connection
17 aborts, likely on windows only (analyzed by sten).
18 - calling AnyEvent->now_update with AnyEvent::Impl::Perl caused an
19 endless loop (reported by Dietrich Rebmann).
20 - add tlsv1_1 and tlsv1_2 protocols to AnyEvent::TLS
21 (patch by Maxime Soulé).
22 - document AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync::set_loop and
23 $AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync::LOOP. Though only documented now, this
24 functionality has _always_ been available.
25 - force a toplevel domain name in t/81_hosts.t (analyzed by
26 David Jack Wange Olrik).
27 - document that AnyEvent::Log uses AnyEvent::IO.
28 - warn about AnyEvent::Filesys::Notify performance.
29 - praise the joys of AnyEvent::Fork::*.
30 - time for an =encoding directive.
31 - do no longer use JSON to create a default json coder, use
32 JSON::XS or JSON::PP directly.
33
347.05 Wed Aug 21 10:38:08 CEST 2013
35 - uts46data.pl couldn't be found due to wrong naming of the file
36 (reported by Fulko Hew).
37 - handle lone \015's properly in AE::Handle's default line read
38 (reported by various people).
39 - untaint ip addresses found in /etc/hosts (patch by José Micó).
40 - the memleak fix in 7.03 caused resolving via /etc/hosts to always
41 fail on first use (reported and testcase by Andrew Whatson).
42 - expose AnyEvent::Log::format_time, and allow users to redefine it.
43 - expose AnyEvent::Log::default_format, and allow redefinition.
44 - expose AnyEvent::Log::fatal_exit, to allow redefinition.
45 - AnyEvent::Debug shell can now run coro shell commands, if available.
46 - t/63* tests were wrongly in MANIFEST.
47 - kernel.org's finger server went MIA, switch to freebsd.org and
48 icculus.org.
49 - clarify that IO::AIO and AnyEvent::AIO are needed for AnyEvent::IO
50 to function asynchronously (reported by Daniel Carosone).
51 - hard-disable $^W in most tests, it generates too much garbage output.
52 - use a (hopefully) more future-proof method to emulate common::sense.
53 - upgrade to UTS-46:6.2.0.
54 - switch to INSTLIB from INSTLIBDIR, as INSTLIBDIR was wrongly
55 documented. should not affect anything.
56
577.04 Thu Nov 15 02:23:58 CET 2012
58 - debugging code left in.
59
607.03 Thu Nov 15 02:16:11 CET 2012
61 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton did not work when dns resolution was
62 used to find the addresses (analyzed and patch by Maxime Soulé).
63 - fix a memory leak in the /etc/hosts lookup code when hosts don't
64 resolve and are not in hosts (analyzed by sten).
65
667.02 Tue Aug 14 04:27:58 CEST 2012
67 - AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd could block indefinitely (analyzed and test
68 program by Yorhel).
69 - verified that AnyEvent::Socket follows RFC5952.
70 - try to parse "ADDR#PORT" in addition to "ADDR PORT".
71
727.01 Sun May 13 01:03:17 CEST 2012
73 - fail with EPROTO in AnyEvent::Handle wqhen TLS is requested but
74 not available, instead of throwing an exception.
75 - use File::Spec to get the tmpdir in t/*, to avoid needless
76 failures on (most, not mine :) windows boxes.
77 - new handle read types: tls_detect and tls_autostart.
78
797.0 Fri Apr 13 06:33:30 CEST 2012
80 - child watchers are broken in POE 1.352 (also many earlier
81 versions) and there seems to be no way to work around it, as POE
82 itself is inherently racy. Document this regression and add a delay
83 in t/68_poe_03_child.t for the time being.
84 - new module AnyEvent::IO, that is a frontend to either a pure-perl
85 synchronous I/O implementation (AnyEvent::IO::Perl), or to the
86 asynchronous I/O extension IO::AIO (AnyEvent::IO::IOAIO).
87 - load /etc/hosts only when DNS has no answer.
88 - stat /etc/hosts on every access and reload it if it changed.
89 - load /etc/hosts via AnyEvent::IO - potentially asynchronous.
90 - fix a buggy croak in the dh parameter reading in AnyEvent::TLS.
91 - AnyEvent::Log log_to_file and log_to_path now use AnyEvent::IO. As
92 a side effect, they now use true appending as opposed to libc
93 appending, and the file might not have been opened when the function
94 returns.
95 - the default logging level was not properly documented in a variety of
96 places, this has hopefully been rectified.
97 - updated uts46data.pl for unicode 6.1.0.
98 - made log messages generated by AnyEvent submodules not
99 include the package name anymore, as it will be logged
100 by default already.
101 - upgrade to the trick used by common-sense 3.5 to work
102 around extra warning torture/breakage under perl 5.15.x.
103 - log messages by anyevent are now ucfirst, are usually full
104 sentences and do no longer include the package name.
105 - the storable read type would sometimes throw an exception instead
106 of causing EBADMSG (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
107 - work around a bug in openssl 1.0.1 which enforces a minimum rsa
108 keysize (reported by Paul Howarth).
109 - documented Rocco fabricating statements about AnyEvent and me.
110
1116.14 Tue Jan 31 20:00:24 CET 2012
112 - AnyEvent::Impl::Tk was broken due to a mysterious "die" inside,
113 probably an editing mistake (reported by Darin McBride).
114
1156.13 Thu Jan 12 07:27:01 CET 2012
116 - AnyEvent::Util::fork_call checked for POSIX availability in the wrong way,
117 causing it to fail if POSIX wasn't loaded already (analysed by Rock Power).
118 - AnyEvent::Handle::push_read (line => did pass $1 directly, so
119 regex-matching inside the callback would change the parameter, despite
120 $1 being dynamically scoped per-block. this perl bug is now being
121 worked around (testcase by Cindy Wang).
122
1236.12 Mon Dec 12 13:21:10 CET 2011
124 - $! was clobbered by subsequent calls in tcp_connect, due to
125 the postpone not saving/restoring it (analyzed by Richard Garnish).
126
1276.11 Tue Nov 22 10:36:05 CET 2011
128 - Tk cannot create windows when tainted unless you set a title, so
129 set a dummy title for AnyEvent's dummy mainwindow. How dummy.
130 - escape any nonprintable/nonascii characters when stringifying
131 backtraces.
132 - log the reason loading an interface module fails to load at level debug.
133
1346.1 Tue Oct 4 19:44:30 CEST 2011
135 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
136 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
137 to higher log levels to print by default.
138 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
139 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
140 how that module sucks.
141 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
142 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
143 of 127.0.0.1).
144 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
145 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
146 - AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to.
147 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
148 intervals.
149 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
150 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
151 which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
152 delivery.
153 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
154 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
155 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
156 of the context as title.
157 - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback
158 died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging...
159 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
160 to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
161 to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
162 attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
163 AnyEvent.
164
1656.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
166 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
167 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
168 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
169 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
170 to work around.
171 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
172
1736.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011
10 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include 174 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
11 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request 175 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
12 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as 176 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
13 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is 177 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
14 AnyEvent::Socket. 178 AnyEvent::Socket.
