156.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
16 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
17 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
18 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
19 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
20 to work around.
21 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
22
236.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011
24 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
25 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
26 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
27 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
28 AnyEvent::Socket.
29 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
30 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
31 methods.
32 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
33 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
34 - DEPRECIATION: please change
35 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
36 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
37 in your programs, for future compatibility.
38 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
39 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
40 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
41 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
42 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
43 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
44 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
45 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
46 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
47 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
48 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
49 a debug shell.
50 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
51 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
52 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
53 F</etc/hosts> can be found.
54 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
55 configuration.
56 - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
57 PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
58 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
59 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications $_ by the callback
60 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
61 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
62 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
63 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
64 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
65 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
66 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
67 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
68 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
69 supports /etc/hosts overrides.
70 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
71 and (newly introduced) in POE.
72 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
73 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
74 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
75 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
76 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
77 (reported by Gerald Galster).
78 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
79 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
80 do not support blocking waits.
81 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
82 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
83 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
84 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
85 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
86 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
87 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
88 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
89 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
90 - suppress the idiotic warning inside POE by patching the POE::Kernel
91 run flags instead of asking the user to jump through contortions.
92 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
93 - replace PF_UNSPEC by 0, for good old minix.
94
956.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)
96
975.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
98 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
99 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
100 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
101
1025.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
103 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
104 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
105 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
106 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
107 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
108 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
109 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
110 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
111 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
112 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
113 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
114 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
115 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
116
1175.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
118 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
119 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
120 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
121 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
122 documentation for caveats.
123 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
124 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
125 AnyEvent::Handle).
126 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
127 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
128
1295.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
130 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
131 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
132 the availabilty of a default loop!
133 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
134 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
135 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
136 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
137 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
138 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
139 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
140 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
141
1425.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
143 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
144 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
145 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
146 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
147 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
148 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
149 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
150 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
151 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
152 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
153 as part of the perl core.
154 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
155 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
156 minimal perl...).
157
1585.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
159 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
160 actually used in tcp_server.
161 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
162 missing.
163 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
164 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
165 resulting in more informative error messages.
166 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
167 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
168 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
169 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
170 of AnyEvent::TLS.
171 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
172 requested by Ron Isaacson.
173 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
174 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
175 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
176 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
177 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
178
1795.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
180 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
181
1825.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
183 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
184 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
185 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
186 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
187 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
188 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
189 - better/more condvar examples.
190
1915.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
192 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
193 time (found by Andy Grundman).
194
1955.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
196 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
197 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
198 by Bas Denissen).
199 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
200 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
201 EV and Perl backends.
202 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
203 backends.
204 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
205 never documented nor universally supported).
206 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
207 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
208
2095.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
210 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
211 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
212 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
213
2145.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
215 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
216 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
217 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
218 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
219 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
220 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
221 by lucky accident on win32.
222 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
223 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
224 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
225 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
226 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
227 detection and eval.
228 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
229 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
230 (same algorithm as EV).
231 - update unicode idna mapping table.
232
2335.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
234 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
235 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
236 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
237 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
238
2395.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
240 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
241 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
242 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
243 - provide $AE::VERSION.
244 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
245
2465.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
247 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
248 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
249 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
250 when passing scalar data to extensions).
251 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
252 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
253 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
254 (John Beppu).
255 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
256 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
257 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
258 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
259
2605.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
261 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
262 (spotted by David Friedland).
263 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
264 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
265 unless you rip out everything but the core).
266 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
267 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
268
2695.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
270 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
271 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
272 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
273 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
274 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
275
2765.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
277 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
278 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
279 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
280 (analysed by elmex).
281

10 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues. 289 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
290 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
291 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
