7AnyEvent::Handle uncaught error: Connection timed out at 56.01
8 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/AnyEvent/HTTP.pm line 473 6 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
7 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
8 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
9 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
10 AnyEvent::Socket.
11 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
12 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
13 methods.
14 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
15 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
16 - DEPRECIATION: please change
17 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
18 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
19 in your programs, for future compatibility.
20 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
21 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
22 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
23 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
24 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
25 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
26 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
27 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
28 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
29 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
30 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
31 a debug shell.
32 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
33 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
34 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
35 F</etc/hosts> can be found.
36 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
37 configuration.
38 - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
39 PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
40 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
41 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications $_ by the callback
42 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
43 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
44 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
45 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
46 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
47 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
48 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
49 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
50 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
51 supports /etc/hosts overrides.
52 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
53 and (newly introduced) in POE.
54 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
55 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
56 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
57 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
58 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
59 (reported by Gerald Galster).
60 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
61 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
62 do not support blocking waits.
63 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
64 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
65 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
66 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
67 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
68 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
69 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
70 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
71 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
72 - suppress the idiotic warning inside POE by patching the POE::Kernel
73 run flags instead of asking the user to jump through contortions.
74 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
75 - replace PF_UNSPEC by 0, for good old minix.
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...).

9 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't 141 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
10 actually used in tcp_server. 142 actually used in tcp_server.

12 missing. 144 missing.
13 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read. 145 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
14 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently, 146 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
15 resulting in more informative error messages. 147 resulting in more informative error messages.
148 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
16 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read. 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.
17 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as 153 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
18 requested by Ron Isaacson. 154 requested by Ron Isaacson.

21 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util, 158 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
22 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy. 159 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
