126.01
13 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
14 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
15 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
16 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
17 AnyEvent::Socket.
18 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
19 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
20 methods.
21 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
22 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
23 - DEPRECIATION: please change
24 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
25 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
26 in your programs, for future compatibility.
27 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
28 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
29 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
30 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
31 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
32 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
33 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
34 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
35 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
36 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
37 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
38 a debug shell.
39 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
40 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
41 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
42 F</etc/hosts> can be found.
43 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
44 configuration.
45 - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
46 PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
47 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
48 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications $_ by the callback
49 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
50 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
51 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
52 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
53 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
54 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
55 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
56 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
57 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
58 supports /etc/hosts overrides.
59 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
60 and (newly introduced) in POE.
61 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
62 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
63 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
64 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
65 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
66 (reported by Gerald Galster).
67 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
68 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
69 do not support blocking waits.
70 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
71 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
72 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
73 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
74 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
75 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
76 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
77 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
78 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
79 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
80
816.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)
82
835.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
84 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
85 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
86 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
87
885.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
89 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
90 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
91 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
92 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
93 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
94 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
95 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
96 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
97 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
98 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
99 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
100 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
101 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
102
1035.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
104 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
105 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
106 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
107 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
108 documentation for caveats.
109 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
110 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
111 AnyEvent::Handle).
112 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
113 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
114
1155.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
116 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
117 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
118 the availabilty of a default loop!
119 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
120 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
121 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
122 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
123 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
124 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
125 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
126 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
127
1285.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
129 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
130 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
131 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
132 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
133 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
134 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
135 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
136 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
137 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
138 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
139 as part of the perl core.
140 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
141 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
142 minimal perl...).
143
1445.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
145 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
146 actually used in tcp_server.
147 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
148 missing.
149 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
150 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
151 resulting in more informative error messages.
152 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
153 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
154 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
155 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
156 of AnyEvent::TLS.
157 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
158 requested by Ron Isaacson.
159 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
160 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
161 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
162 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
163 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
164
1655.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
166 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
167
1685.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
169 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
170 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
171 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
172 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
173 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
174 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
175 - better/more condvar examples.
176
1775.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
5 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration 178 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
6 time (found by Andy Grundman). 179 time (found by Andy Grundman).
