105.29 6TOOD: stop internals abusing
7TODO: add google ipv6 public dns
8 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "3" (critical
9 and above), and some emssages inside AnyEvent have bene elevated
10 to critical, so.
11 - add google public ipv6 dns as flalback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
12 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
13 of 127.0.0.1).
14 - give guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
15 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx.
16 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.

186.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
19 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
20 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
21 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
22 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
23 to work around.
24 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
25
266.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011
27 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
28 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
29 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
30 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
31 AnyEvent::Socket.
32 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
33 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
34 methods.
35 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
36 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
37 - DEPRECIATION: please change
38 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
39 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
40 in your programs, for future compatibility.
41 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
42 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
43 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
44 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
45 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
46 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
47 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
48 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
49 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
50 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
51 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
52 a debug shell.
53 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
54 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
55 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
56 F</etc/hosts> can be found.
57 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
58 configuration.
59 - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
60 PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
61 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
62 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications $_ by the callback
63 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
64 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
65 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
66 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
67 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
68 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
69 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
70 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
71 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
72 supports /etc/hosts overrides.
73 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
74 and (newly introduced) in POE.
75 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
76 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
77 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
78 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
79 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
80 (reported by Gerald Galster).
81 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
82 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
83 do not support blocking waits.
84 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
85 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
86 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
87 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
88 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
89 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
90 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
91 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
92 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
93 - suppress the idiotic warning inside POE by patching the POE::Kernel
94 run flags instead of asking the user to jump through contortions.
95 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
96 - replace PF_UNSPEC by 0, for good old minix.
97
986.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)
99
1005.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
101 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
102 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
103 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
104
1055.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
106 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
107 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
108 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
109 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
110 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
111 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
112 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
113 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
114 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
115 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
116 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
117 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
118 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
119
1205.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
121 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
122 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
123 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
124 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
125 documentation for caveats.
126 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
127 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
128 AnyEvent::Handle).
129 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
130 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
131
1325.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
133 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
134 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
135 the availabilty of a default loop!
136 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
137 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
138 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
139 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
140 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
141 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
142 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
143 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
144
1455.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
11 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API. 146 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
12 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add 147 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
13 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048. 148 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
149 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
14 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle. 150 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
15 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle. 151 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
152 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
16 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid. 153 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
154 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
17 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent 155 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
18 as part of the perl core. 156 as part of the perl core.
19 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8. 157 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
158 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
159 minimal perl...).
