86.01
9 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
10 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
11 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
12 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
13 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_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
33 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
34 a debug shell.
35 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
36 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
37 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
38 F</etc/hosts> can be found.
39 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
40 configuration.
41 - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
42 PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
43 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
44 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications $_ by the callback
45 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
46 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
47 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
48 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
49 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
50 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
51 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
52 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
53 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
54 supports /etc/hosts overrides.
55 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
56 and (newly introduced) in POE.
57 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
58 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
59 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
60 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
61 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
62 (reported by Gerald Galster).
63 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
64 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
65 do not support blocking waits.
66 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
67 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
68 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
69 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
70 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
71 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
72 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
73 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
74 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
75 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
76
776.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)
78
795.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
80 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
81 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
82 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
83
845.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
85 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
86 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
87 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
88 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
89 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
90 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
91 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
92 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
93 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
94 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
95 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
96 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
97 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
98
995.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
100 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
101 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
102 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
103 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
104 documentation for caveats.
105 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
106 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
107 AnyEvent::Handle).
108 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
109 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
110
1115.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
112 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
113 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
114 the availabilty of a default loop!
115 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
116 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
117 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
118 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
119 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
120 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
121 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
122 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
123
1245.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
125 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
126 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
127 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
128 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
129 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
130 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
131 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
132 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
133 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
134 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
135 as part of the perl core.
136 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
137 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
138 minimal perl...).
139
1405.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
141 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
142 actually used in tcp_server.
143 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
144 missing.
145 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
146 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
147 resulting in more informative error messages.
148 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
149 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
150 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
151 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
152 of AnyEvent::TLS.
153 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
154 requested by Ron Isaacson.
155 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
156 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
157 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
158 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
159 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
160
1615.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
162 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
163
1645.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
165 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
166 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
167 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
168 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
169 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
170 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
171 - better/more condvar examples.
172
1735.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
174 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
175 time (found by Andy Grundman).
176
1775.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
178 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
179 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
180 by Bas Denissen).
181 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
182 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
183 EV and Perl backends.
184 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
185 backends.
186 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
187 never documented nor universally supported).
188 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
189 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
190
1915.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
192 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
193 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
194 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
195
1965.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
197 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
198 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
199 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
200 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
201 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
202 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
203 by lucky accident on win32.
204 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
205 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
206 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
207 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
208 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
209 detection and eval.
210 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
211 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
212 (same algorithm as EV).
213 - update unicode idna mapping table.
214
2155.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
216 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
217 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
218 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
219 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
220
2215.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
222 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
223 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
224 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
225 - provide $AE::VERSION.
226 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
227
2285.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
229 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
230 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
231 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
232 when passing scalar data to extensions).
233 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
234 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
235 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
236 (John Beppu).
237 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
238 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
239 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
240 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
241
2425.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
243 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
244 (spotted by David Friedland).
245 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
246 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
247 unless you rip out everything but the core).
248 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
249 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
