12 - calling AnyEvent->now_update with AnyEvent::Impl::Perl caused an
13 endless loop (reported by Dietrich Rebmann).
14 - add tlsv1_1 and tlsv1_2 protocols to AnyEvent::TLS
15 (patch by Maxime Soulé).
16 - force a toplevel domain name in t/81_hosts.t (analyzed by
17 David Jack Wange Olrik).
18 - document that AnyEvent::Log uses AnyEvent::IO.

207.05 Wed Aug 21 10:38:08 CEST 2013
21 - uts46data.pl couldn't be found due to wrong naming of the file
22 (reported by Fulko Hew).
23 - handle lone \015's properly in AE::Handle's default line read
24 (reported by various people).
25 - untaint ip addresses found in /etc/hosts (patch by José Micó).
26 - the memleak fix in 7.03 caused resolving via /etc/hosts to always
27 fail on first use (reported and testcase by Andrew Whatson).
28 - expose AnyEvent::Log::format_time, and allow users to redefine it.
29 - expose AnyEvent::Log::default_format, and allow redefinition.
30 - expose AnyEvent::Log::fatal_exit, to allow redefinition.
31 - AnyEvent::Debug shell can now run coro shell commands, if available.
32 - t/63* tests were wrongly in MANIFEST.
33 - kernel.org's finger server went MIA, switch to freebsd.org and
34 icculus.org.
35 - clarify that IO::AIO and AnyEvent::AIO are needed for AnyEvent::IO
36 to function asynchronously (reported by Daniel Carosone).
37 - hard-disable $^W in most tests, it generates too much garbage output.
38 - use a (hopefully) more future-proof method to emulate common::sense.
39 - upgrade to UTS-46:6.2.0.
40 - switch to INSTLIB from INSTLIBDIR, as INSTLIBDIR was wrongly
41 documented. should not affect anything.
42
437.04 Thu Nov 15 02:23:58 CET 2012
44 - debugging code left in.
45
467.03 Thu Nov 15 02:16:11 CET 2012
47 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton did not work when dns resolution was
48 used to find the addresses (analyzed and patch by Maxime Soulé).
49 - fix a memory leak in the /etc/hosts lookup code when hosts don't
50 resolve and are not in hosts (analyzed by sten).
51
527.02 Tue Aug 14 04:27:58 CEST 2012
53 - AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd could block indefinitely (analyzed and test
54 program by Yorhel).
55 - verified that AnyEvent::Socket follows RFC5952.
56 - try to parse "ADDR#PORT" in addition to "ADDR PORT".
57
587.01 Sun May 13 01:03:17 CEST 2012
59 - fail with EPROTO in AnyEvent::Handle wqhen TLS is requested but
60 not available, instead of throwing an exception.
61 - use File::Spec to get the tmpdir in t/*, to avoid needless
62 failures on (most, not mine :) windows boxes.
63 - new handle read types: tls_detect and tls_autostart.
64
657.0 Fri Apr 13 06:33:30 CEST 2012
66 - child watchers are broken in POE 1.352 (also many earlier
67 versions) and there seems to be no way to work around it, as POE
68 itself is inherently racy. Document this regression and add a delay
69 in t/68_poe_03_child.t for the time being.
70 - new module AnyEvent::IO, that is a frontend to either a pure-perl
71 synchronous I/O implementation (AnyEvent::IO::Perl), or to the
72 asynchronous I/O extension IO::AIO (AnyEvent::IO::IOAIO).
73 - load /etc/hosts only when DNS has no answer.
74 - stat /etc/hosts on every access and reload it if it changed.
75 - load /etc/hosts via AnyEvent::IO - potentially asynchronous.
76 - fix a buggy croak in the dh parameter reading in AnyEvent::TLS.
77 - AnyEvent::Log log_to_file and log_to_path now use AnyEvent::IO. As
78 a side effect, they now use true appending as opposed to libc
79 appending, and the file might not have been opened when the function
80 returns.
81 - the default logging level was not properly documented in a variety of
82 places, this has hopefully been rectified.
83 - updated uts46data.pl for unicode 6.1.0.
84 - made log messages generated by AnyEvent submodules not
85 include the package name anymore, as it will be logged
86 by default already.
87 - upgrade to the trick used by common-sense 3.5 to work
88 around extra warning torture/breakage under perl 5.15.x.
89 - log messages by anyevent are now ucfirst, are usually full
90 sentences and do no longer include the package name.
91 - the storable read type would sometimes throw an exception instead
92 of causing EBADMSG (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
93 - work around a bug in openssl 1.0.1 which enforces a minimum rsa
94 keysize (reported by Paul Howarth).
95 - documented Rocco fabricating statements about AnyEvent and me.
96
976.14 Tue Jan 31 20:00:24 CET 2012
98 - AnyEvent::Impl::Tk was broken due to a mysterious "die" inside,
99 probably an editing mistake (reported by Darin McBride).
100
1016.13 Thu Jan 12 07:27:01 CET 2012
102 - AnyEvent::Util::fork_call checked for POSIX availability in the wrong way,
103 causing it to fail if POSIX wasn't loaded already (analysed by Rock Power).
104 - AnyEvent::Handle::push_read (line => did pass $1 directly, so
105 regex-matching inside the callback would change the parameter, despite
106 $1 being dynamically scoped per-block. this perl bug is now being
107 worked around (testcase by Cindy Wang).
108
1096.12 Mon Dec 12 13:21:10 CET 2011
110 - $! was clobbered by subsequent calls in tcp_connect, due to
111 the postpone not saving/restoring it (analyzed by Richard Garnish).
112
1136.11 Tue Nov 22 10:36:05 CET 2011
114 - Tk cannot create windows when tainted unless you set a title, so
115 set a dummy title for AnyEvent's dummy mainwindow. How dummy.
116 - escape any nonprintable/nonascii characters when stringifying
117 backtraces.
118 - log the reason loading an interface module fails to load at level debug.
119
1206.1 Tue Oct 4 19:44:30 CEST 2011
11 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error 121 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
12 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated 122 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
13 to higher log levels to print by default. 123 to higher log levels to print by default.
124 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
125 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
126 how that module sucks.
14 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally 127 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
15 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead 128 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
16 of 127.0.0.1). 129 of 127.0.0.1).
17 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level. 130 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
131 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
132 - AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to.
18 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular 133 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
19 intervals. 134 intervals.
20 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
21 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded. 135 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
22 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx. 136 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
137 which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
138 delivery.
23 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial. 139 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
140 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
141 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
142 of the context as title.
143 - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback
144 died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging...
145 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
146 to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
147 to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
148 attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
149 AnyEvent.
