8TODO: check for -w? somehow? 8 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try

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.
11 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently, 152 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
12 resulting in more informative error messages. 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.

145.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010 1675.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
15 - backport to perl 5.8.x. 168 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
