2 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.
3 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly. 241 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.

55.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009 2435.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
6 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect. 244 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
7 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep, 245 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
