3TODO: document TCP_*** constants
4
5 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx.
6
76.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
8 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
9 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
10 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
11 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
12 to work around.
13 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
14
156.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011
16 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
17 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
18 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
19 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
20 AnyEvent::Socket.
21 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
22 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
23 methods.
24 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
25 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
26 - DEPRECIATION: please change
27 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
28 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
29 in your programs, for future compatibility.
30 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
31 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
32 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
33 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
34 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
35 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
36 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
37 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
38 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
39 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
40 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
41 a debug shell.
42 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
43 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
44 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
45 F</etc/hosts> can be found.
46 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
47 configuration.
48 - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
49 PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
50 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
51 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications $_ by the callback
52 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
53 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
54 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
55 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
56 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
57 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
58 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
59 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
60 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
61 supports /etc/hosts overrides.
62 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
63 and (newly introduced) in POE.
64 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
65 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
66 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
67 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
68 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
69 (reported by Gerald Galster).
70 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
71 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
72 do not support blocking waits.
73 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
74 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
75 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
76 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
77 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
78 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
79 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
80 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
81 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
82 - suppress the idiotic warning inside POE by patching the POE::Kernel
83 run flags instead of asking the user to jump through contortions.
84 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
85 - replace PF_UNSPEC by 0, for good old minix.
86
876.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)
88
895.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
90 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
91 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
92 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
93
945.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
95 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
96 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
97 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
98 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
99 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
100 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
101 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
102 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
103 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
104 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
105 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
106 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
107 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
108
1095.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
110 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
111 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
112 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
113 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
114 documentation for caveats.
115 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
116 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
117 AnyEvent::Handle).
118 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
119 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
120
1215.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
122 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
123 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
124 the availabilty of a default loop!
125 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
126 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
127 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
128 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
129 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
130 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
131 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
132 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
133
1345.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
135 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
136 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
137 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
138 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
139 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
140 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
141 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
142 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
143 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
144 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
145 as part of the perl core.
146 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
147 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
148 minimal perl...).
149
1505.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
151 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
152 actually used in tcp_server.
153 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
154 missing.
155 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
156 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
157 resulting in more informative error messages.
158 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
159 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
160 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
161 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
162 of AnyEvent::TLS.
163 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
164 requested by Ron Isaacson.
165 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
166 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
167 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
168 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
169 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
170
1715.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
172 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
173
1745.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
175 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
176 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
177 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
178 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
179 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
180 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
181 - better/more condvar examples.
182
1835.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
184 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
185 time (found by Andy Grundman).
186
1875.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
188 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
189 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
190 by Bas Denissen).
191 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
192 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
193 EV and Perl backends.
194 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
195 backends.
196 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
197 never documented nor universally supported).
198 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
199 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
200
2015.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
202 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
203 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
204 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
205
2065.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
207 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
208 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
209 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
210 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
211 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
212 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
213 by lucky accident on win32.
214 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
215 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
216 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
217 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
218 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
219 detection and eval.
220 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
221 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
222 (same algorithm as EV).
223 - update unicode idna mapping table.
224
2255.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
226 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
227 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
228 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
229 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
230
2315.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
232 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
233 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
234 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
235 - provide $AE::VERSION.
236 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
237
2385.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
239 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
240 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
241 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
242 when passing scalar data to extensions).
243 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
244 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
245 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
246 (John Beppu).
247 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
248 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
249 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
250 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
251
2525.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
253 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
254 (spotted by David Friedland).
255 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
256 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
257 unless you rip out everything but the core).
258 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
259 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
260
2615.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
262 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
263 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
264 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
265 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
266 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
267
2685.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
269 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
270 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
271 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
272 (analysed by elmex).
273
2745.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
275 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
276 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
277 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
278 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
279 AnyEvent::Handle.
280 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
281 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
282 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
283 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
284
2855.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
286 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
287 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
288 by Michael S. Fischer).
289 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
290 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
291 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
292 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
293 by default.
294 - fix some prototypes.
295 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
296 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
297
2985.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
299 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
300 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
301 - port to broken win32 perls.
302
3035.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
304 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
305 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
306 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
307 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
308 OSes as well).
309
3105.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
311 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
312 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
313 to reduce dependency on JSON.
314
3155.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
316 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
317 one (was broken since 4.91).
318 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
319 when retrying a tcp_connect.
320 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
321 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
322
3235.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
324 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
325
3265.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
327 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
328 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
329 in AnyEvent::Handle.
330 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
331 settings.
332 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
333 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
334 exporting the probe function).
335 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
336 code to work around it's watcher limits.
337 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
338 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
339 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
340 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
341 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
