14 | 7.14 |
|
|
15 | - fix a crash bug in AnyEvent::Handle with openssl 1.1.0 (patched |
|
|
16 | by Paul Howarth and apparently tracked down by Mike McCauley). |
|
|
17 | - AnyEvent::Handle->keepalive was documented (and defined) twice |
|
|
18 | (found by Matt Merhar). |
|
|
19 | - AnyEvent::Socket::tcp_bind/tcp_server would immediately unlink a unix |
|
|
20 | listening socket unless a guard is used. Change this so that no |
|
|
21 | cleanup will be performed unless a guard is used and document this more |
|
|
22 | clearly. |
|
|
23 | - make tcp_bind/tcp_server error messages more regular. |
|
|
24 | - work around latest perl upstream breakage - this time, perl5porters were |
|
|
25 | apparently bullied by a bogus CVE (CVE-2016-1238), and since distros |
|
|
26 | stupidly apply anything that has "security fix" stamped on it, it's likely |
|
|
27 | going to be a problem in practise (and working around it is trivial on |
|
|
28 | windows and unix). |
|
|
29 | - add TCP_FASTOPEN/MSG_FASTOPEN and MSG_NOSIGNAL/MSG_MORE/MSG_DONTWAIT |
|
|
30 | to constants. |
|
|
31 | - update warnings to common::sense 3.74 standards. |
|
|
32 | |
|
|
33 | 7.13 Sat Sep 17 04:31:49 CEST 2016 |
|
|
34 | - Only call tlsext_host_name for non-empty common names (reported |
|
|
35 | by Maxime Soulé). |
|
|
36 | - log a (single) notice message if SNI is not supported. |
|
|
37 | - upgrade to UTS-46:9.0.0 draft and switch to non-transitional |
|
|
38 | behaviour, beating thunderbird, ie, edge, chrome and safari to it :) |
|
|
39 | (see also https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1218179) |
|
|
40 | - turns out the UTS-46 IDNA testcase failures were indeed bugs in the |
|
|
41 | testcases and the specification and not in the code - the post-9.0.0 |
|
|
42 | unicode files have all known problems fixed, so finally the AnyEvent |
|
|
43 | IDNA implementation can pass the full IDNA testsuite - without needing |
|
|
44 | a single fix :) |
|
|
45 | - guarantee (and document) that condvar callbacks will be removed |
|
|
46 | on invocation - important to avoid circular references. |
|
|
47 | |
|
|
48 | 7.12 Wed Jan 27 19:12:26 CET 2016 |
|
|
49 | - use common name as hostname for tls connects, if Net::SSLeay |
|
|
50 | supports SNI. |
|
|
51 | - fix documentation of tls_autostart read type in AnyEvent::Handle, |
|
|
52 | analyzed by Felix Ostmann. |
|
|
53 | |
|
|
54 | 7.11 Thu Jul 16 14:36:00 CEST 2015 |
|
|
55 | - AnyEvent::Socket::parse_ipv6 could accept malformed ipv6 |
|
|
56 | addresses (extra "::" at end and similar cases). |
|
|
57 | - add a more explicit warning to AnyEvent::Handle that it doesn't |
|
|
58 | work on files, people keep getting confused. |
|
|
59 | - new function AnyEvent::Socket::tcp_bind. |
|
|
60 | - new functions AnyEvent::fh_block and AnyEvent::fh_unblock. |
|
|
61 | - aligned ipv6 address formatting with RFC 5952 (by not shortening |
|
|
62 | a single :0: to ::). |
|
|
63 | - added stability canary support. |
|
|
64 | |
|
|
65 | 7.09 Sat May 2 16:38:53 CEST 2015 |
|
|
66 | - AnyEvent::Debug called an internal function (AnyEvent::Log::ft) |
|
|
67 | that was renamed to AnyEvent::Log:format_time. uinder its old name |
|
|
68 | (analyzed by Michael Stovenour). |
|
|
69 | - update AnyEvent::DNS fallback resolver addresses: |
|
|
70 | seems google effectively killed most other free dns resolvers, |
|
|
71 | so remove them, but add cable and wireless (ecrc) since it was |
|
|
72 | stable for 20 years or so, official or not, and there should be |
|
|
73 | an alternative to google. |
|
|
74 | - perl5porters broke windows error codes in 5.20, and mapped |
|
|
75 | WSAEWOULDBLOCK on the (different) EWOULDBLOCK error code, and |
|
|
76 | WSAEINPROGRESS into the incompatible ERINPROGRESS code, probably |
|
|
77 | because they were so cool. They probably broke other error codes |
|
|
78 | for no reason, too, but I didn't care for checking, it's too |
|
|
79 | depressing. This version only works around the WSAEWOULDBLOCK |
|
|
80 | issue, because I don't have a nice way to work around the |
|
|
81 | WSAEINPROGRESS bug. |
|
|
82 | |
|
|
83 | 7.08 Wed Dec 10 05:27:17 CET 2014 |
|
|
84 | - work around a newly introduced bug in Socket 2.011 (an |
|
|
85 | errornous sun_length check) (analyzed by Maxime Soulé). |
|
|
86 | - AnyEvent::TLS didn't load (but refer to) AnyEvent::Socket |
|
|
87 | (analyzed by Ben Magistro). |
|
|
88 | - AnyEvent::Strict will now confess, not croak. This is in line with |
|
|
89 | it being a development/debugging tool. |
|
|
90 | - work around a number of libglib bugs (debug builds of libglib enforce |
|
|
91 | certain undocumented behaviour patterns such as not being able to |
|
|
92 | remove a child watch source after it has fired, which we will try |
|
|
93 | to emulate to avoid "criticals". what where they thinking...). |
|
|
94 | - mention json security issues in AnyEvent::Handle, now that Douglas |
|
|
95 | Crockford has foolishly and incompatibly changed JSON. |
|
|
96 | - changed default dns resolver "max_outstanding" value from 1 to 10, |
|
|
97 | the latter beinfg the intended value all along |
|
|
98 | (reported by Ilya Chesnokov). |
|
|
99 | - added new "AnyEvent::Impl::UV" interface module to the UV event lib |
|
|
100 | (written by Mike Lowell). |
|
|
101 | |
|
|
102 | 7.07 Tue Dec 17 17:45:02 CET 2013 |
|
|
103 | - the documentation for custom tls verify schemes was wrong. make it agree |
|
|
104 | with the code (reported by Maxime Soulé). |
|
|
105 | - added cbor read and write types to AnyEvent::Handle (using CBOR::XS). |
|
|
106 | - work around an API change in openssl that could cause wrong tls connection |
|
|
107 | aborts, likely on windows only (analyzed by sten). |
|
|
108 | - calling AnyEvent->now_update with AnyEvent::Impl::Perl caused an |
|
|
109 | endless loop (reported by Dietrich Rebmann). |
|
|
110 | - add tlsv1_1 and tlsv1_2 protocols to AnyEvent::TLS |
|
|
111 | (patch by Maxime Soulé). |
|
|
112 | - document AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync::set_loop and |
|
|
113 | $AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync::LOOP. Though only documented now, this |
|
|
114 | functionality has _always_ been available. |
|
|
115 | - force a toplevel domain name in t/81_hosts.t (analyzed by |
|
|
116 | David Jack Wange Olrik). |
|
|
117 | - document that AnyEvent::Log uses AnyEvent::IO. |
|
|
118 | - warn about AnyEvent::Filesys::Notify performance. |
|
|
119 | - praise the joys of AnyEvent::Fork::*. |
|
|
120 | - time for an =encoding directive. |
|
|
121 | - do no longer use JSON to create a default json coder, use |
|
|
122 | JSON::XS or JSON::PP directly. |
|
|
123 | |
|
|
124 | 7.05 Wed Aug 21 10:38:08 CEST 2013 |
|
|
125 | - uts46data.pl couldn't be found due to wrong naming of the file |
|
|
126 | (reported by Fulko Hew). |
|
|
127 | - handle lone \015's properly in AE::Handle's default line read |
|
|
128 | (reported by various people). |
|
|
129 | - untaint ip addresses found in /etc/hosts (patch by José Micó). |
|
|
130 | - the memleak fix in 7.03 caused resolving via /etc/hosts to always |
|
|
131 | fail on first use (reported and testcase by Andrew Whatson). |
|
|
132 | - expose AnyEvent::Log::format_time, and allow users to redefine it. |
|
|
133 | - expose AnyEvent::Log::default_format, and allow redefinition. |
|
|
134 | - expose AnyEvent::Log::fatal_exit, to allow redefinition. |
|
|
135 | - AnyEvent::Debug shell can now run coro shell commands, if available. |
|
|
136 | - t/63* tests were wrongly in MANIFEST. |
|
|
137 | - kernel.org's finger server went MIA, switch to freebsd.org and |
|
|
138 | icculus.org. |
|
|
139 | - clarify that IO::AIO and AnyEvent::AIO are needed for AnyEvent::IO |
|
|
140 | to function asynchronously (reported by Daniel Carosone). |
|
|
141 | - hard-disable $^W in most tests, it generates too much garbage output. |
|
|
142 | - use a (hopefully) more future-proof method to emulate common::sense. |
|
|
143 | - upgrade to UTS-46:6.2.0. |
|
|
144 | - switch to INSTLIB from INSTLIBDIR, as INSTLIBDIR was wrongly |
|
|
145 | documented. should not affect anything. |
|
|
146 | |
|
|
147 | 7.04 Thu Nov 15 02:23:58 CET 2012 |
|
|
148 | - debugging code left in. |
|
|
149 | |
|
|
150 | 7.03 Thu Nov 15 02:16:11 CET 2012 |
|
|
151 | - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton did not work when dns resolution was |
|
|
152 | used to find the addresses (analyzed and patch by Maxime Soulé). |
|
|
153 | - fix a memory leak in the /etc/hosts lookup code when hosts don't |
|
|
154 | resolve and are not in hosts (analyzed by sten). |
|
|
155 | |
|
|
156 | 7.02 Tue Aug 14 04:27:58 CEST 2012 |
|
|
157 | - AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd could block indefinitely (analyzed and test |
|
|
158 | program by Yorhel). |
|
|
159 | - verified that AnyEvent::Socket follows RFC5952. |
|
|
160 | - try to parse "ADDR#PORT" in addition to "ADDR PORT". |
|
|
161 | |
|
|
162 | 7.01 Sun May 13 01:03:17 CEST 2012 |
|
|
163 | - fail with EPROTO in AnyEvent::Handle wqhen TLS is requested but |
|
|
164 | not available, instead of throwing an exception. |
|
|
165 | - use File::Spec to get the tmpdir in t/*, to avoid needless |
|
|
166 | failures on (most, not mine :) windows boxes. |
|
|
167 | - new handle read types: tls_detect and tls_autostart. |
|
|
168 | |
|
|
169 | 7.0 Fri Apr 13 06:33:30 CEST 2012 |
|
|
170 | - child watchers are broken in POE 1.352 (also many earlier |
|
|
171 | versions) and there seems to be no way to work around it, as POE |
|
|
172 | itself is inherently racy. Document this regression and add a delay |
|
|
173 | in t/68_poe_03_child.t for the time being. |
|
|
174 | - new module AnyEvent::IO, that is a frontend to either a pure-perl |
|
|
175 | synchronous I/O implementation (AnyEvent::IO::Perl), or to the |
|
|
176 | asynchronous I/O extension IO::AIO (AnyEvent::IO::IOAIO). |
|
|
177 | - load /etc/hosts only when DNS has no answer. |
|
|
178 | - stat /etc/hosts on every access and reload it if it changed. |
|
|
179 | - load /etc/hosts via AnyEvent::IO - potentially asynchronous. |
|
|
180 | - fix a buggy croak in the dh parameter reading in AnyEvent::TLS. |
|
|
181 | - AnyEvent::Log log_to_file and log_to_path now use AnyEvent::IO. As |
|
|
182 | a side effect, they now use true appending as opposed to libc |
|
|
183 | appending, and the file might not have been opened when the function |
|
|
184 | returns. |
|
|
185 | - the default logging level was not properly documented in a variety of |
|
|
186 | places, this has hopefully been rectified. |
|
|
187 | - updated uts46data.pl for unicode 6.1.0. |
|
|
188 | - made log messages generated by AnyEvent submodules not |
|
|
189 | include the package name anymore, as it will be logged |
|
|
190 | by default already. |
|
|
191 | - upgrade to the trick used by common-sense 3.5 to work |
|
|
192 | around extra warning torture/breakage under perl 5.15.x. |
|
|
193 | - log messages by anyevent are now ucfirst, are usually full |
|
|
194 | sentences and do no longer include the package name. |
|
|
195 | - the storable read type would sometimes throw an exception instead |
|
|
196 | of causing EBADMSG (analyzed by Maxime Soulé). |
|
|
197 | - work around a bug in openssl 1.0.1 which enforces a minimum rsa |
|
|
198 | keysize (reported by Paul Howarth). |
|
|
199 | - documented Rocco fabricating statements about AnyEvent and me. |
|
|
200 | |
|
|
201 | 6.14 Tue Jan 31 20:00:24 CET 2012 |
|
|
202 | - AnyEvent::Impl::Tk was broken due to a mysterious "die" inside, |
|
|
203 | probably an editing mistake (reported by Darin McBride). |
|
|
204 | |
|
|
205 | 6.13 Thu Jan 12 07:27:01 CET 2012 |
|
|
206 | - AnyEvent::Util::fork_call checked for POSIX availability in the wrong way, |
|
|
207 | causing it to fail if POSIX wasn't loaded already (analysed by Rock Power). |
|
|
208 | - AnyEvent::Handle::push_read (line => did pass $1 directly, so |
|
|
209 | regex-matching inside the callback would change the parameter, despite |
|
|
210 | $1 being dynamically scoped per-block. this perl bug is now being |
|
|
211 | worked around (testcase by Cindy Wang). |
|
|
212 | |
|
|
213 | 6.12 Mon Dec 12 13:21:10 CET 2011 |
|
|
214 | - $! was clobbered by subsequent calls in tcp_connect, due to |
|
|
215 | the postpone not saving/restoring it (analyzed by Richard Garnish). |
|
|
216 | |
|
|
217 | 6.11 Tue Nov 22 10:36:05 CET 2011 |
|
|
218 | - Tk cannot create windows when tainted unless you set a title, so |
|
|
219 | set a dummy title for AnyEvent's dummy mainwindow. How dummy. |
|
|
220 | - escape any nonprintable/nonascii characters when stringifying |
|
|
221 | backtraces. |
|
|
222 | - log the reason loading an interface module fails to load at level debug. |
|
|
223 | |
|
|
224 | 6.1 Tue Oct 4 19:44:30 CEST 2011 |
11 | - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error |

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

235 | - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context. |

|

244 | - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY. |
|
|
245 | - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name |
|
|
246 | of the context as title. |
|
|
247 | - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback |
|
|
248 | died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging... |
|
|
249 | - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse |
|
|
250 | to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses |
|
|
251 | to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively |
|
|
252 | attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use |
|
|
253 | AnyEvent. |
