5TODO: ae::log examples 12TODO: mention AnyEvent::fork etc.
6TODO: trace-per-watcher AnyEvent::Debug 13 - the documentation for custom tls verify schemes was wrong. make it agree
7TODO: logging during AnyEvent::detect 14 with the code (reported by Maxime Soulé).
8TODO: AnyEvent::Filesys::Notify 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 - time for an =encoding directive.
29
307.05 Wed Aug 21 10:38:08 CEST 2013
31 - uts46data.pl couldn't be found due to wrong naming of the file
32 (reported by Fulko Hew).
33 - handle lone \015's properly in AE::Handle's default line read
34 (reported by various people).
35 - untaint ip addresses found in /etc/hosts (patch by José Micó).
36 - the memleak fix in 7.03 caused resolving via /etc/hosts to always
37 fail on first use (reported and testcase by Andrew Whatson).
38 - expose AnyEvent::Log::format_time, and allow users to redefine it.
39 - expose AnyEvent::Log::default_format, and allow redefinition.
40 - expose AnyEvent::Log::fatal_exit, to allow redefinition.
41 - AnyEvent::Debug shell can now run coro shell commands, if available.
42 - t/63* tests were wrongly in MANIFEST.
43 - kernel.org's finger server went MIA, switch to freebsd.org and
44 icculus.org.
45 - clarify that IO::AIO and AnyEvent::AIO are needed for AnyEvent::IO
46 to function asynchronously (reported by Daniel Carosone).
47 - hard-disable $^W in most tests, it generates too much garbage output.
48 - use a (hopefully) more future-proof method to emulate common::sense.
49 - upgrade to UTS-46:6.2.0.
50 - switch to INSTLIB from INSTLIBDIR, as INSTLIBDIR was wrongly
51 documented. should not affect anything.
52
537.04 Thu Nov 15 02:23:58 CET 2012
54 - debugging code left in.
55
567.03 Thu Nov 15 02:16:11 CET 2012
57 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton did not work when dns resolution was
58 used to find the addresses (analyzed and patch by Maxime Soulé).
59 - fix a memory leak in the /etc/hosts lookup code when hosts don't
60 resolve and are not in hosts (analyzed by sten).
61
627.02 Tue Aug 14 04:27:58 CEST 2012
63 - AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd could block indefinitely (analyzed and test
64 program by Yorhel).
65 - verified that AnyEvent::Socket follows RFC5952.
66 - try to parse "ADDR#PORT" in addition to "ADDR PORT".
67
687.01 Sun May 13 01:03:17 CEST 2012
69 - fail with EPROTO in AnyEvent::Handle wqhen TLS is requested but
70 not available, instead of throwing an exception.
71 - use File::Spec to get the tmpdir in t/*, to avoid needless
72 failures on (most, not mine :) windows boxes.
73 - new handle read types: tls_detect and tls_autostart.
74
757.0 Fri Apr 13 06:33:30 CEST 2012
76 - child watchers are broken in POE 1.352 (also many earlier
77 versions) and there seems to be no way to work around it, as POE
78 itself is inherently racy. Document this regression and add a delay
79 in t/68_poe_03_child.t for the time being.
80 - new module AnyEvent::IO, that is a frontend to either a pure-perl
81 synchronous I/O implementation (AnyEvent::IO::Perl), or to the
82 asynchronous I/O extension IO::AIO (AnyEvent::IO::IOAIO).
83 - load /etc/hosts only when DNS has no answer.
84 - stat /etc/hosts on every access and reload it if it changed.
85 - load /etc/hosts via AnyEvent::IO - potentially asynchronous.
86 - fix a buggy croak in the dh parameter reading in AnyEvent::TLS.
87 - AnyEvent::Log log_to_file and log_to_path now use AnyEvent::IO. As
88 a side effect, they now use true appending as opposed to libc
89 appending, and the file might not have been opened when the function
90 returns.
91 - the default logging level was not properly documented in a variety of
92 places, this has hopefully been rectified.
93 - updated uts46data.pl for unicode 6.1.0.
94 - made log messages generated by AnyEvent submodules not
95 include the package name anymore, as it will be logged
96 by default already.
97 - upgrade to the trick used by common-sense 3.5 to work
98 around extra warning torture/breakage under perl 5.15.x.
99 - log messages by anyevent are now ucfirst, are usually full
100 sentences and do no longer include the package name.
101 - the storable read type would sometimes throw an exception instead
102 of causing EBADMSG (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
103 - work around a bug in openssl 1.0.1 which enforces a minimum rsa
104 keysize (reported by Paul Howarth).
105 - documented Rocco fabricating statements about AnyEvent and me.
106
1076.14 Tue Jan 31 20:00:24 CET 2012
108 - AnyEvent::Impl::Tk was broken due to a mysterious "die" inside,
109 probably an editing mistake (reported by Darin McBride).
110
1116.13 Thu Jan 12 07:27:01 CET 2012
112 - AnyEvent::Util::fork_call checked for POSIX availability in the wrong way,
113 causing it to fail if POSIX wasn't loaded already (analysed by Rock Power).
114 - AnyEvent::Handle::push_read (line => did pass $1 directly, so
115 regex-matching inside the callback would change the parameter, despite
116 $1 being dynamically scoped per-block. this perl bug is now being
117 worked around (testcase by Cindy Wang).
118
1196.12 Mon Dec 12 13:21:10 CET 2011
120 - $! was clobbered by subsequent calls in tcp_connect, due to
121 the postpone not saving/restoring it (analyzed by Richard Garnish).
122
1236.11 Tue Nov 22 10:36:05 CET 2011
124 - Tk cannot create windows when tainted unless you set a title, so
125 set a dummy title for AnyEvent's dummy mainwindow. How dummy.
126 - escape any nonprintable/nonascii characters when stringifying
127 backtraces.
128 - log the reason loading an interface module fails to load at level debug.
129
1306.1 Tue Oct 4 19:44:30 CEST 2011
131 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
132 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
133 to higher log levels to print by default.
134 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
135 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
136 how that module sucks.
137 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
138 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
139 of 127.0.0.1).
140 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
141 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
142 - AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to.
143 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
144 intervals.
145 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
146 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
147 which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
148 delivery.
149 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
150 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
151 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
152 of the context as title.
153 - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback
154 died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging...
155 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
156 to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
157 to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
158 attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
159 AnyEvent.
160
1616.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
162 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
163 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
164 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
165 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
166 to work around.
167 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
168
1696.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011
10 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include 170 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
11 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request 171 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
12 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as 172 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
13 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is 173 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
14 AnyEvent::Socket. 174 AnyEvent::Socket.
