4
56.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
6 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
7 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
8 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
9 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
10 to work around.
11 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
12
136.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011
14 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
15 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
16 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
17 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
18 AnyEvent::Socket.
19 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
20 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
21 methods.
22 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
23 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
24 - DEPRECIATION: please change
25 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
26 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
27 in your programs, for future compatibility.
28 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
29 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
30 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
31 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
32 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
33 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
34 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
35 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
36 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
37 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
38 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
39 a debug shell.
40 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
41 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
42 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
43 F</etc/hosts> can be found.
44 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
45 configuration.
46 - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
47 PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
48 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
49 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications $_ by the callback
50 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
51 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
52 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
53 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
54 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
55 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
56 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
57 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
58 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
59 supports /etc/hosts overrides.
60 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
61 and (newly introduced) in POE.
62 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
63 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
64 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
65 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
66 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
67 (reported by Gerald Galster).
68 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
69 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
70 do not support blocking waits.
71 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
72 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
73 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
74 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
75 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
76 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
77 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
78 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
79 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
80 - suppress the idiotic warning inside POE by patching the POE::Kernel
81 run flags instead of asking the user to jump through contortions.
82 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
83 - replace PF_UNSPEC by 0, for good old minix.
84
856.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)
86
875.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
88 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
89 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
90 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
91
925.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
93 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
94 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
95 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
96 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
97 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
98 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
99 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
100 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
101 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
102 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
103 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
104 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
105 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
106
1075.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
108 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
109 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
110 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
111 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
112 documentation for caveats.
113 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
114 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
115 AnyEvent::Handle).
116 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
117 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
118
1195.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
120 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
121 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
122 the availabilty of a default loop!
123 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
124 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
125 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
126 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
127 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
128 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
129 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
130 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
131
1325.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
133 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
134 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
135 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
136 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
137 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
138 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
139 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
140 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
141 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
142 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
143 as part of the perl core.
144 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
145 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
146 minimal perl...).
147
1485.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
149 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
150 actually used in tcp_server.
151 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
152 missing.
153 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
154 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
155 resulting in more informative error messages.
156 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
157 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
158 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
159 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
160 of AnyEvent::TLS.
161 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
162 requested by Ron Isaacson.
163 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
164 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
165 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
166 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
167 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
168
1695.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
170 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
171
1725.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
173 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
174 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
175 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
176 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
177 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
178 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
179 - better/more condvar examples.
180
1815.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
182 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
183 time (found by Andy Grundman).
184
1855.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
186 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
187 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
188 by Bas Denissen).
189 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
190 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
191 EV and Perl backends.
192 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
193 backends.
194 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
195 never documented nor universally supported).
196 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
197 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
198
1995.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
200 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
201 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
202 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
203
2045.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
205 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
206 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
207 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
208 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
209 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
210 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
211 by lucky accident on win32.
212 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
213 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
214 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
215 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
216 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
217 detection and eval.
218 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
219 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
220 (same algorithm as EV).
221 - update unicode idna mapping table.
222
2235.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
224 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
225 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
226 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
227 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
228
2295.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
230 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
231 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
232 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
233 - provide $AE::VERSION.
234 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
235
2365.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
3 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to 237 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
4 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly. 238 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
5 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info 239 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
6 when passing scalar data to extensions). 240 when passing scalar data to extensions).
7 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage. 241 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
