76.01
8 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
9 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
10 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
11 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
12 AnyEvent::Socket.
13 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
14 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
15 methods.
16 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
17 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
18 - DEPRECIATION: please change
19 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
20 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
21 in your programs, for future compatibility.
22 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
23 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
24 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
25 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
26 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
27 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
28 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
29 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
30 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
31 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
32 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
33 a debug shell.
34 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
35 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
36 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
37 F</etc/hosts> can be found.
38 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
39 configuration.
40 - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
41 PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
42 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
43 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications $_ by the callback
44 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
45 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
46 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
47 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
48 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
49 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
50 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
51 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
52 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
53 supports /etc/hosts overrides.
54 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
55 and (newly introduced) in POE.
56 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
57 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
58 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
59 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
60 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
61 (reported by Gerald Galster).
62 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
63 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
64 do not support blocking waits.
65 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
66 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
67 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
68 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
69 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
70 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
71 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
72 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
73 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
74 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
75
766.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)
77
785.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
79 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
80 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
81 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
82
835.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
84 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
85 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
86 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
87 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
88 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
89 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
90 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
91 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
92 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
93 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
94 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
95 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
96 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
97
985.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
99 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
100 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
101 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
102 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
103 documentation for caveats.
104 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
105 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
106 AnyEvent::Handle).
107 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
108 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
109
1105.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
111 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
112 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
113 the availabilty of a default loop!
114 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
115 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
116 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
117 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
118 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
119 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
120 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
121 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
122
1235.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
124 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
125 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
126 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
127 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
128 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
129 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
130 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
131 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
132 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
133 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
134 as part of the perl core.
135 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
136 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
137 minimal perl...).
138

5 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't 140 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
6 actually used in tcp_server. 141 actually used in tcp_server.

8 missing. 143 missing.
9 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read. 144 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.

11 resulting in more informative error messages. 146 resulting in more informative error messages.
12 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage. 147 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
13 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read. 148 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
149 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
150 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
151 of AnyEvent::TLS.

15 requested by Ron Isaacson. 153 requested by Ron Isaacson.
