76.01 12 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton did not work when dns resolution was
13 used to find the addresses (analyzed and patch by Maxime Soulé).
14
157.02 Tue Aug 14 04:27:58 CEST 2012
16 - AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd could block indefinitely (analyzed and test
17 program by Yorhel).
18 - verified that AnyEvent::Socket follows RFC5952.
19 - try to parse "ADDR#PORT" in addition to "ADDR PORT".
20
217.01 Sun May 13 01:03:17 CEST 2012
22 - fail with EPROTO in AnyEvent::Handle wqhen TLS is requested but
23 not available, instead of throwing an exception.
24 - use File::Spec to get the tmpdir in t/*, to avoid needless
25 failures on (most, not mine :) windows boxes.
26 - new handle read types: tls_detect and tls_autostart.
27
287.0 Fri Apr 13 06:33:30 CEST 2012
29 - child watchers are broken in POE 1.352 (also many earlier
30 versions) and there seems to be no way to work around it, as POE
31 itself is inherently racy. Document this regression and add a delay
32 in t/68_poe_03_child.t for the time being.
33 - new module AnyEvent::IO, that is a frontend to either a pure-perl
34 synchronous I/O implementation (AnyEvent::IO::Perl), or to the
35 asynchronous I/O extension IO::AIO (AnyEvent::IO::IOAIO).
36 - load /etc/hosts only when DNS has no answer.
37 - stat /etc/hosts on every access and reload it if it changed.
38 - load /etc/hosts via AnyEvent::IO - potentially asynchronous.
39 - fix a buggy croak in the dh parameter reading in AnyEvent::TLS.
40 - AnyEvent::Log log_to_file and log_to_path now use AnyEvent::IO. As
41 a side effect, they now use true appending as opposed to libc
42 appending, and the file might not have been opened when the function
43 returns.
44 - the default logging level was not properly documented in a variety of
45 places, this has hopefully been rectified.
46 - updated uts46data.pl for unicode 6.1.0.
47 - made log messages generated by AnyEvent submodules not
48 include the package name anymore, as it will be logged
49 by default already.
50 - upgrade to the trick used by common-sense 3.5 to work
51 around extra warning torture/breakage under perl 5.15.x.
52 - log messages by anyevent are now ucfirst, are usually full
53 sentences and do no longer include the package name.
54 - the storable read type would sometimes throw an exception instead
55 of causing EBADMSG (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
56 - work around a bug in openssl 1.0.1 which enforces a minimum rsa
57 keysize (reported by Paul Howarth).
58 - documented Rocco fabricating statements about AnyEvent and me.
59
606.14 Tue Jan 31 20:00:24 CET 2012
61 - AnyEvent::Impl::Tk was broken due to a mysterious "die" inside,
62 probably an editing mistake (reported by Darin McBride).
63
646.13 Thu Jan 12 07:27:01 CET 2012
65 - AnyEvent::Util::fork_call checked for POSIX availability in the wrong way,
66 causing it to fail if POSIX wasn't loaded already (analysed by Rock Power).
67 - AnyEvent::Handle::push_read (line => did pass $1 directly, so
68 regex-matching inside the callback would change the parameter, despite
69 $1 being dynamically scoped per-block. this perl bug is now being
70 worked around (testcase by Cindy Wang).
71
726.12 Mon Dec 12 13:21:10 CET 2011
73 - $! was clobbered by subsequent calls in tcp_connect, due to
74 the postpone not saving/restoring it (analyzed by Richard Garnish).
75
766.11 Tue Nov 22 10:36:05 CET 2011
77 - Tk cannot create windows when tainted unless you set a title, so
78 set a dummy title for AnyEvent's dummy mainwindow. How dummy.
79 - escape any nonprintable/nonascii characters when stringifying
80 backtraces.
81 - log the reason loading an interface module fails to load at level debug.
82
836.1 Tue Oct 4 19:44:30 CEST 2011
84 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
85 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
86 to higher log levels to print by default.
87 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
88 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
89 how that module sucks.
90 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
91 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
92 of 127.0.0.1).
93 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
94 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
95 - AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to.
96 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
97 intervals.
98 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
99 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
100 which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
101 delivery.
102 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
103 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
104 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
105 of the context as title.
106 - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback
107 died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging...
108 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
109 to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
110 to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
111 attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
112 AnyEvent.
113
1146.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
115 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
116 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
117 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
118 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
119 to work around.
120 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
121
1226.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011

189 - suppress the idiotic warning inside POE by patching the POE::Kernel

74 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time). 191 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
192 - replace PF_UNSPEC by 0, for good old minix.
