3TODO: document TCP_*** constants
4
5 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
6 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
7 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
8 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
9 to work around.

116.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011
12 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
13 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
14 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
15 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
16 AnyEvent::Socket.
17 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
18 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
19 methods.
20 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
21 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
22 - DEPRECIATION: please change
23 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
24 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
25 in your programs, for future compatibility.
26 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
27 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
28 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
29 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
30 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
31 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
32 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
33 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
34 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
35 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
36 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
37 a debug shell.
38 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
39 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
40 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
41 F</etc/hosts> can be found.
42 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
43 configuration.
44 - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
45 PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
46 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
47 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications $_ by the callback
48 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
49 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
50 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
51 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
52 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
53 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
54 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
55 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
56 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
57 supports /etc/hosts overrides.
58 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
59 and (newly introduced) in POE.
60 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
61 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
62 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
63 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
64 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
65 (reported by Gerald Galster).
66 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
67 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
68 do not support blocking waits.
69 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
70 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
71 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
72 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
73 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
74 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
75 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
76 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
77 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
78 - suppress the idiotic warning inside POE by patching the POE::Kernel
79 run flags instead of asking the user to jump through contortions.
80 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
81 - replace PF_UNSPEC by 0, for good old minix.
82
836.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)
84
855.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
86 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
87 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
88 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
89
905.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
91 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
92 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
93 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
94 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
95 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
96 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
97 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
98 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
99 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
100 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
101 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
102 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
103 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
104
1055.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
106 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
107 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
108 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
109 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
110 documentation for caveats.
111 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
112 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
113 AnyEvent::Handle).
114 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
115 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
116
1175.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
118 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
119 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
120 the availabilty of a default loop!
121 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
122 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
123 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
124 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
125 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
126 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
127 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
128 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
129
1305.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
131 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
132 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
133 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
134 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
135 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
136 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
137 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
138 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
139 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
140 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
141 as part of the perl core.
142 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
143 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
144 minimal perl...).
145
1465.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
147 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
148 actually used in tcp_server.
149 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
150 missing.
151 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
152 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
153 resulting in more informative error messages.
154 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
155 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
156 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
157 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
158 of AnyEvent::TLS.
159 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
160 requested by Ron Isaacson.
161 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
162 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
163 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
164 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
165 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
166
1675.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
168 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
169
1705.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
171 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
172 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
173 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
174 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
175 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
176 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
177 - better/more condvar examples.
178
1795.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
180 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
181 time (found by Andy Grundman).
182
1835.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
184 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
185 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
186 by Bas Denissen).
187 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
188 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
189 EV and Perl backends.
190 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
191 backends.
192 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
193 never documented nor universally supported).
194 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
195 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
196
1975.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
198 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
199 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
200 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
201
2025.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
203 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
204 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
205 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
206 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
207 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
208 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
209 by lucky accident on win32.
210 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
211 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
212 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
213 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
214 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
215 detection and eval.
216 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
217 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
218 (same algorithm as EV).
219 - update unicode idna mapping table.
220
2215.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
222 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
223 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
224 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
225 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
226
2275.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
228 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
229 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
230 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
231 - provide $AE::VERSION.
232 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
233
2345.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
235 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
236 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
237 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
238 when passing scalar data to extensions).
239 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
240 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
241 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
242 (John Beppu).
243 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
244 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
245 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
246 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
247
2485.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
249 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
250 (spotted by David Friedland).
251 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
252 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
253 unless you rip out everything but the core).
254 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
255 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
256
2575.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
258 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
259 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
260 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
261 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
262 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
263
2645.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
265 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
266 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
267 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
268 (analysed by elmex).
269
2705.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
271 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
272 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
273 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
274 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
275 AnyEvent::Handle.
276 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
277 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
278 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
279 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
280
2815.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
282 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
283 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
284 by Michael S. Fischer).
285 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
286 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
287 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
288 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
289 by default.
290 - fix some prototypes.
291 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
292 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
293
2945.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
295 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
296 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
297 - port to broken win32 perls.
298
2995.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
300 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
301 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
302 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
303 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
304 OSes as well).
305
3065.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
307 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
308 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
309 to reduce dependency on JSON.
