|
|

|
|

12 | 7.0 Fri Apr 13 06:33:30 CEST 2012 |
|
|
13 | - child watchers are broken in POE 1.352 (also many earlier |
|
|
14 | versions) and there seems to be no way to work around it, as POE |
|
|
15 | itself is inherently racy. Document this regression and add a delay |
|
|
16 | in t/68_poe_03_child.t for the time being. |
|
|
17 | - new module AnyEvent::IO, that is a frontend to either a pure-perl |
|
|
18 | synchronous I/O implementation (AnyEvent::IO::Perl), or to the |
|
|
19 | asynchronous I/O extension IO::AIO (AnyEvent::IO::IOAIO). |
|
|
20 | - load /etc/hosts only when DNS has no answer. |
|
|
21 | - stat /etc/hosts on every access and reload it if it changed. |
|
|
22 | - load /etc/hosts via AnyEvent::IO - potentially asynchronous. |
|
|
23 | - fix a buggy croak in the dh parameter reading in AnyEvent::TLS. |
|
|
24 | - AnyEvent::Log log_to_file and log_to_path now use AnyEvent::IO. As |
|
|
25 | a side effect, they now use true appending as opposed to libc |
|
|
26 | appending, and the file might not have been opened when the function |
|
|
27 | returns. |
|
|
28 | - the default logging level was not properly documented in a variety of |
|
|
29 | places, this has hopefully been rectified. |
|
|
30 | - updated uts46data.pl for unicode 6.1.0. |
|
|
31 | - made log messages generated by AnyEvent submodules not |
|
|
32 | include the package name anymore, as it will be logged |
|
|
33 | by default already. |
|
|
34 | - upgrade to the trick used by common-sense 3.5 to work |
|
|
35 | around extra warning torture/breakage under perl 5.15.x. |
|
|
36 | - log messages by anyevent are now ucfirst, are usually full |
|
|
37 | sentences and do no longer include the package name. |
|
|
38 | - the storable read type would sometimes throw an exception instead |
|
|
39 | of causing EBADMSG (analyzed by Maxime Soulé). |
|
|
40 | - work around a bug in openssl 1.0.1 which enforces a minimum rsa |
|
|
41 | keysize (reported by Paul Howarth). |
|
|
42 | - documented Rocco fabricating statements about AnyEvent and me. |
|
|
43 | |
|
|
44 | 6.14 Tue Jan 31 20:00:24 CET 2012 |
|
|
45 | - AnyEvent::Impl::Tk was broken due to a mysterious "die" inside, |
|
|
46 | probably an editing mistake (reported by Darin McBride). |
|
|
47 | |
|
|
48 | 6.13 Thu Jan 12 07:27:01 CET 2012 |
|
|
49 | - AnyEvent::Util::fork_call checked for POSIX availability in the wrong way, |
|
|
50 | causing it to fail if POSIX wasn't loaded already (analysed by Rock Power). |
|
|
51 | - AnyEvent::Handle::push_read (line => did pass $1 directly, so |
|
|
52 | regex-matching inside the callback would change the parameter, despite |
|
|
53 | $1 being dynamically scoped per-block. this perl bug is now being |
|
|
54 | worked around (testcase by Cindy Wang). |
|
|
55 | |
|
|
56 | 6.12 Mon Dec 12 13:21:10 CET 2011 |
|
|
57 | - $! was clobbered by subsequent calls in tcp_connect, due to |
|
|
58 | the postpone not saving/restoring it (analyzed by Richard Garnish). |
|
|
59 | |
|
|
60 | 6.11 Tue Nov 22 10:36:05 CET 2011 |
|
|
61 | - Tk cannot create windows when tainted unless you set a title, so |
|
|
62 | set a dummy title for AnyEvent's dummy mainwindow. How dummy. |
|
|
63 | - escape any nonprintable/nonascii characters when stringifying |
|
|
64 | backtraces. |
|
|
65 | - log the reason loading an interface module fails to load at level debug. |
|
|
66 | |
|
|
67 | 6.1 Tue Oct 4 19:44:30 CEST 2011 |

68 | - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error |

70 | to higher log levels to print by default. |
|
|
71 | - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal. |
|
|
72 | - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My |
|
|
73 | how that module sucks. |
| 9 | - add google public ipv6 dns as flalback servers, so AE::DNS can finally |
74 | - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally |

|
78 | - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context. |
|
|
79 | - AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to. |

|
|
88 | - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name |
|
|
89 | of the context as title. |
|
|
90 | - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback |
|
|
91 | died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging... |
|
|
92 | - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse |
|
|
93 | to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses |
|
|
94 | to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively |
|
|
95 | attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use |
|
|
96 | AnyEvent. |
