2
3TODO: document TCP_*** constants
4
5TODO: log message level redistribute?
6TOOD: stop internals abusing
7 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "3" (critical
8 and above), and some emssages inside AnyEvent have bene elevated
9 to critical, so.
10 - add google public ipv6 dns as flalback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
11 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
12 of 127.0.0.1).
13 - give guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
14 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
15 intervals.
16 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx.
17 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
18
196.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
20 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
21 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
22 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
23 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
24 to work around.
25 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
26
276.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011
28 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
29 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
30 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
31 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
32 AnyEvent::Socket.
33 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
34 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
35 methods.
36 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
37 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
38 - DEPRECIATION: please change
39 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
40 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
41 in your programs, for future compatibility.
42 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
43 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
44 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
45 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
46 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
47 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
48 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
49 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
50 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
51 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
52 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
53 a debug shell.
54 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
55 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
56 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
57 F</etc/hosts> can be found.
58 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
59 configuration.
60 - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
61 PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
62 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
63 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications $_ by the callback
64 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
65 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
66 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
67 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
68 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
69 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
70 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
71 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
72 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
73 supports /etc/hosts overrides.
74 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
75 and (newly introduced) in POE.
76 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
77 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
78 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
79 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
80 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
81 (reported by Gerald Galster).
82 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
83 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
84 do not support blocking waits.
85 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
86 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
87 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
88 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
89 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
90 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
91 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
92 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
93 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
94 - suppress the idiotic warning inside POE by patching the POE::Kernel
95 run flags instead of asking the user to jump through contortions.
96 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
97 - replace PF_UNSPEC by 0, for good old minix.
98
996.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)
100
1015.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
102 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
103 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
104 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
105
1065.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
107 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
108 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
109 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
110 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
111 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
112 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
113 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
114 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
115 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
116 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
117 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
118 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
119 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
120
1215.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
122 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
123 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
124 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
125 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
126 documentation for caveats.
127 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
128 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
129 AnyEvent::Handle).
130 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
131 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
132
1335.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
134 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
135 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
136 the availabilty of a default loop!
137 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
138 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
139 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
140 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
141 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
142 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
143 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
144 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
145
1465.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
147 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
148 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
149 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
150 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
151 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
152 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
153 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
154 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
155 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
156 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
157 as part of the perl core.
158 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
159 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
160 minimal perl...).
161
1625.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
163 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
164 actually used in tcp_server.
165 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
166 missing.
167 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
168 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
169 resulting in more informative error messages.
170 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
171 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
172 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
173 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
174 of AnyEvent::TLS.
175 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
176 requested by Ron Isaacson.
177 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
178 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
179 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
180 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
181 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
182
1835.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
184 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
185
1865.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
187 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
188 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
189 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
190 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
191 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
192 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
193 - better/more condvar examples.
194
1955.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
196 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
197 time (found by Andy Grundman).
198
1995.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
200 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
201 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
202 by Bas Denissen).
203 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
204 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
205 EV and Perl backends.
206 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
207 backends.
208 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
209 never documented nor universally supported).
210 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
211 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
212
2135.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
214 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
215 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
216 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
217
2185.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
219 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
220 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
221 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
222 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
223 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
224 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
225 by lucky accident on win32.
226 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
227 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
228 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
229 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
230 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
231 detection and eval.
232 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
233 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
234 (same algorithm as EV).
235 - update unicode idna mapping table.
236
2375.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
238 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
239 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
240 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
241 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
242
2435.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
244 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
245 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
246 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
247 - provide $AE::VERSION.
248 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
249
2505.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
251 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
252 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
253 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
254 when passing scalar data to extensions).
255 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
256 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
257 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
258 (John Beppu).
259 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
260 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
261 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
262 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
263
2645.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
265 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
266 (spotted by David Friedland).
267 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
268 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
269 unless you rip out everything but the core).
270 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
271 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
272
2735.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
274 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
275 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
276 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
277 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
278 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
279
2805.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
281 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
282 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
283 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
284 (analysed by elmex).
285
2865.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
287 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
288 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
289 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
290 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
291 AnyEvent::Handle.
292 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
293 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
294 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
295 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
296
2975.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
298 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
299 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
300 by Michael S. Fischer).
301 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
302 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
303 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
304 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
305 by default.
306 - fix some prototypes.
307 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
308 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
309
3105.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
311 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
312 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
313 - port to broken win32 perls.
314
3155.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
316 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
317 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
318 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
319 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
320 OSes as well).
321
3225.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
323 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
324 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
325 to reduce dependency on JSON.
326
3275.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
328 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
329 one (was broken since 4.91).
330 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
331 when retrying a tcp_connect.
332 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
333 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
334
3355.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
336 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
337
3385.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
339 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
340 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
341 in AnyEvent::Handle.
342 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
343 settings.
344 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
345 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
346 exporting the probe function).
347 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
348 code to work around it's watcher limits.
349 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
350 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
351 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
352 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
353 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
354
3554.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
356 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
357 already contains some TLS handshake.
358 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
359 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
360 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
361 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
362 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
363
3644.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
365 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
366 a negative value, so avoid that.
367 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
368 after the condition is already signalled.
369 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
370 data.
371 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
372 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
373 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
374 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
375 any issues).
376 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
377 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
378 by name (not name or number).
379 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
380 only compiling signal code when necessary.
381 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
382 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
383 said future/alternative API.
384 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
385
3864.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
387 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
388 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
389 (analysed by elmex).
2 390
34.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009 3914.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
4 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling 392 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
5 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check 393 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
6 for errors after every push_write etc. 394 for errors after every push_write etc.
2284.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008 6164.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
