177.12 Wed Jan 27 19:12:26 CET 2016
18 - use common name as hostname for tls connects, if Net::SSLeay
19 supports SNI.
20 - fix documentation of tls_autostart read type in AnyEvent::Handle,
21 analyzed by Felix Ostmann.
22
237.11 Thu Jul 16 14:36:00 CEST 2015
24 - AnyEvent::Socket::parse_ipv6 could accept malformed ipv6
25 addresses (extra "::" at end and similar cases).
26 - add a more explicit warning to AnyEvent::Handle that it doesn't
27 work on files, people keep getting confused.
28 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::tcp_bind.
29 - new functions AnyEvent::fh_block and AnyEvent::fh_unblock.
30 - aligned ipv6 address formatting with RFC 5952 (by not shortening
31 a single :0: to ::).
32 - added stability canary support.
33
347.09 Sat May 2 16:38:53 CEST 2015
35 - AnyEvent::Debug called an internal function (AnyEvent::Log::ft)
36 that was renamed to AnyEvent::Log:format_time. uinder its old name
37 (analyzed by Michael Stovenour).
38 - update AnyEvent::DNS fallback resolver addresses:
39 seems google effectively killed most other free dns resolvers,
40 so remove them, but add cable and wireless (ecrc) since it was
41 stable for 20 years or so, official or not, and there should be
42 an alternative to google.
43 - perl5porters broke windows error codes in 5.20, and mapped
44 WSAEWOULDBLOCK on the (different) EWOULDBLOCK error code, and
45 WSAEINPROGRESS into the incompatible ERINPROGRESS code, probably
46 because they were so cool. They probably broke other error codes
47 for no reason, too, but I didn't care for checking, it's too
48 depressing. This version only works around the WSAEWOULDBLOCK
49 issue, because I don't have a nice way to work around the
50 WSAEINPROGRESS bug.
51
527.08 Wed Dec 10 05:27:17 CET 2014
53 - work around a newly introduced bug in Socket 2.011 (an
54 errornous sun_length check) (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
55 - AnyEvent::TLS didn't load (but refer to) AnyEvent::Socket
56 (analyzed by Ben Magistro).
57 - AnyEvent::Strict will now confess, not croak. This is in line with
58 it being a development/debugging tool.
59 - work around a number of libglib bugs (debug builds of libglib enforce
60 certain undocumented behaviour patterns such as not being able to
61 remove a child watch source after it has fired, which we will try
62 to emulate to avoid "criticals". what where they thinking...).
63 - mention json security issues in AnyEvent::Handle, now that Douglas
64 Crockford has foolishly and incompatibly changed JSON.
65 - changed default dns resolver "max_outstanding" value from 1 to 10,
66 the latter beinfg the intended value all along
67 (reported by Ilya Chesnokov).
68 - added new "AnyEvent::Impl::UV" interface module to the UV event lib
69 (written by Mike Lowell).
70
717.07 Tue Dec 17 17:45:02 CET 2013
72 - the documentation for custom tls verify schemes was wrong. make it agree
73 with the code (reported by Maxime Soulé).
74 - added cbor read and write types to AnyEvent::Handle (using CBOR::XS).
75 - work around an API change in openssl that could cause wrong tls connection
76 aborts, likely on windows only (analyzed by sten).
77 - calling AnyEvent->now_update with AnyEvent::Impl::Perl caused an
78 endless loop (reported by Dietrich Rebmann).
79 - add tlsv1_1 and tlsv1_2 protocols to AnyEvent::TLS
80 (patch by Maxime Soulé).
81 - document AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync::set_loop and
82 $AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync::LOOP. Though only documented now, this
83 functionality has _always_ been available.
84 - force a toplevel domain name in t/81_hosts.t (analyzed by
85 David Jack Wange Olrik).
86 - document that AnyEvent::Log uses AnyEvent::IO.
87 - warn about AnyEvent::Filesys::Notify performance.
88 - praise the joys of AnyEvent::Fork::*.
89 - time for an =encoding directive.
90 - do no longer use JSON to create a default json coder, use
91 JSON::XS or JSON::PP directly.
92
937.05 Wed Aug 21 10:38:08 CEST 2013
94 - uts46data.pl couldn't be found due to wrong naming of the file
95 (reported by Fulko Hew).
96 - handle lone \015's properly in AE::Handle's default line read
97 (reported by various people).
98 - untaint ip addresses found in /etc/hosts (patch by José Micó).
99 - the memleak fix in 7.03 caused resolving via /etc/hosts to always
100 fail on first use (reported and testcase by Andrew Whatson).
101 - expose AnyEvent::Log::format_time, and allow users to redefine it.
102 - expose AnyEvent::Log::default_format, and allow redefinition.
103 - expose AnyEvent::Log::fatal_exit, to allow redefinition.
104 - AnyEvent::Debug shell can now run coro shell commands, if available.
105 - t/63* tests were wrongly in MANIFEST.
106 - kernel.org's finger server went MIA, switch to freebsd.org and
107 icculus.org.
108 - clarify that IO::AIO and AnyEvent::AIO are needed for AnyEvent::IO
109 to function asynchronously (reported by Daniel Carosone).
110 - hard-disable $^W in most tests, it generates too much garbage output.
111 - use a (hopefully) more future-proof method to emulate common::sense.
112 - upgrade to UTS-46:6.2.0.
113 - switch to INSTLIB from INSTLIBDIR, as INSTLIBDIR was wrongly
114 documented. should not affect anything.
115
1167.04 Thu Nov 15 02:23:58 CET 2012
117 - debugging code left in.
118
1197.03 Thu Nov 15 02:16:11 CET 2012
120 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton did not work when dns resolution was
121 used to find the addresses (analyzed and patch by Maxime Soulé).
122 - fix a memory leak in the /etc/hosts lookup code when hosts don't
123 resolve and are not in hosts (analyzed by sten).
124
1257.02 Tue Aug 14 04:27:58 CEST 2012
126 - AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd could block indefinitely (analyzed and test
127 program by Yorhel).
128 - verified that AnyEvent::Socket follows RFC5952.
129 - try to parse "ADDR#PORT" in addition to "ADDR PORT".
130
1317.01 Sun May 13 01:03:17 CEST 2012
132 - fail with EPROTO in AnyEvent::Handle wqhen TLS is requested but
133 not available, instead of throwing an exception.
134 - use File::Spec to get the tmpdir in t/*, to avoid needless
135 failures on (most, not mine :) windows boxes.
136 - new handle read types: tls_detect and tls_autostart.
137
1387.0 Fri Apr 13 06:33:30 CEST 2012
139 - child watchers are broken in POE 1.352 (also many earlier
140 versions) and there seems to be no way to work around it, as POE
141 itself is inherently racy. Document this regression and add a delay
142 in t/68_poe_03_child.t for the time being.
143 - new module AnyEvent::IO, that is a frontend to either a pure-perl
144 synchronous I/O implementation (AnyEvent::IO::Perl), or to the
145 asynchronous I/O extension IO::AIO (AnyEvent::IO::IOAIO).
146 - load /etc/hosts only when DNS has no answer.
147 - stat /etc/hosts on every access and reload it if it changed.
148 - load /etc/hosts via AnyEvent::IO - potentially asynchronous.
149 - fix a buggy croak in the dh parameter reading in AnyEvent::TLS.
150 - AnyEvent::Log log_to_file and log_to_path now use AnyEvent::IO. As
151 a side effect, they now use true appending as opposed to libc
152 appending, and the file might not have been opened when the function
153 returns.
154 - the default logging level was not properly documented in a variety of
155 places, this has hopefully been rectified.
156 - updated uts46data.pl for unicode 6.1.0.
157 - made log messages generated by AnyEvent submodules not
158 include the package name anymore, as it will be logged
159 by default already.
160 - upgrade to the trick used by common-sense 3.5 to work
161 around extra warning torture/breakage under perl 5.15.x.
162 - log messages by anyevent are now ucfirst, are usually full
163 sentences and do no longer include the package name.
164 - the storable read type would sometimes throw an exception instead
165 of causing EBADMSG (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
166 - work around a bug in openssl 1.0.1 which enforces a minimum rsa
167 keysize (reported by Paul Howarth).
168 - documented Rocco fabricating statements about AnyEvent and me.
169
1706.14 Tue Jan 31 20:00:24 CET 2012
171 - AnyEvent::Impl::Tk was broken due to a mysterious "die" inside,
172 probably an editing mistake (reported by Darin McBride).
173
1746.13 Thu Jan 12 07:27:01 CET 2012
175 - AnyEvent::Util::fork_call checked for POSIX availability in the wrong way,
176 causing it to fail if POSIX wasn't loaded already (analysed by Rock Power).
177 - AnyEvent::Handle::push_read (line => did pass $1 directly, so
178 regex-matching inside the callback would change the parameter, despite
179 $1 being dynamically scoped per-block. this perl bug is now being
180 worked around (testcase by Cindy Wang).
181
1826.12 Mon Dec 12 13:21:10 CET 2011
183 - $! was clobbered by subsequent calls in tcp_connect, due to
184 the postpone not saving/restoring it (analyzed by Richard Garnish).
185
1866.11 Tue Nov 22 10:36:05 CET 2011
187 - Tk cannot create windows when tainted unless you set a title, so
188 set a dummy title for AnyEvent's dummy mainwindow. How dummy.
189 - escape any nonprintable/nonascii characters when stringifying
190 backtraces.
191 - log the reason loading an interface module fails to load at level debug.
192
1936.1 Tue Oct 4 19:44:30 CEST 2011
6 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "3" (critical 194 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
7 and above), and some emssages inside AnyEvent have bene elevated 195 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
8 to critical, so. 196 to higher log levels to print by default.
197 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
198 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
199 how that module sucks.
9 - add google public ipv6 dns as flalback servers, so AE::DNS can finally 200 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
10 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead 201 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
11 of 127.0.0.1). 202 of 127.0.0.1).
12 - give guidelines on how to chose a logging level. 203 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
204 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
205 - AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to.
13 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular 206 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
14 intervals. 207 intervals.
208 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
15 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx. 209 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
210 which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
211 delivery.
16 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial. 212 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
213 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
214 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
215 of the context as title.
216 - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback
217 died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging...
218 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
219 to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
220 to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
221 attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
222 AnyEvent.
