15
166.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
17 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
18 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
19 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
20 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
21 to work around.
22 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
23
246.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011
25 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
26 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
27 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
28 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
29 AnyEvent::Socket.
30 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
31 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
32 methods.
33 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
34 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
35 - DEPRECIATION: please change
36 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
37 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
38 in your programs, for future compatibility.
39 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
40 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
41 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
42 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
43 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
44 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
45 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
46 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
47 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
48 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
49 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
50 a debug shell.
51 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
52 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
53 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
54 F</etc/hosts> can be found.
55 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
56 configuration.
57 - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
58 PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
59 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
60 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications $_ by the callback
61 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
62 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
63 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
64 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
65 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
66 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
67 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
68 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
69 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
70 supports /etc/hosts overrides.
71 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
72 and (newly introduced) in POE.
73 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
74 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
75 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
76 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
77 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
78 (reported by Gerald Galster).
79 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
80 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
81 do not support blocking waits.
82 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
83 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
84 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
85 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
86 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
87 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
88 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
89 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
90 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
91 - suppress the idiotic warning inside POE by patching the POE::Kernel
92 run flags instead of asking the user to jump through contortions.
93 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
94 - replace PF_UNSPEC by 0, for good old minix.
95
966.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)
97
985.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
99 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
100 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
101 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
102
1035.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
104 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
105 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
106 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
107 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
108 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
109 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
110 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
111 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
112 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
113 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
114 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
115 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
116 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
117
1185.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
119 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
120 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
121 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
122 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
123 documentation for caveats.
124 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
125 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
126 AnyEvent::Handle).
127 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
128 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
129
1305.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
131 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
132 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
133 the availabilty of a default loop!
134 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
135 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
136 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
137 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
138 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
139 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
140 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
141 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
142
1435.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
144 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
145 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
146 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
147 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
148 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
149 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
150 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
151 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
152 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
153 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
154 as part of the perl core.
155 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
156 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
157 minimal perl...).
158
1595.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
160 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
161 actually used in tcp_server.
162 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
163 missing.
164 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
165 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
166 resulting in more informative error messages.
167 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
168 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
169 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
170 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
171 of AnyEvent::TLS.
172 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
173 requested by Ron Isaacson.
174 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
175 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
176 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
177 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
178 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
179
1805.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
181 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
182
1835.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
184 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
185 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
186 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
187 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
188 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
189 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
190 - better/more condvar examples.
191
1925.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
193 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
194 time (found by Andy Grundman).
195
1965.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
3 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select 197 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
4 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase 198 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
