2
3TODO: document TCP_*** constants
4
5TODO: log message level redistribute?
6TOOD: stop internals abusing
7TODO: AE::logger
8TODO: add debug/trace logging to some modules
9TODO: poe child watcher hang?
10 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
11 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
12 to higher log levels to print by default.
13 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
14 - 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
16 of 127.0.0.1).
17 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
18 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
19 intervals.
20 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
21 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx.
22 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
23
246.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
25 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
26 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
27 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
28 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
29 to work around.
30 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
31
326.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011
33 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
34 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
35 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
36 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
37 AnyEvent::Socket.
38 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
39 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
40 methods.
41 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
42 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
43 - DEPRECIATION: please change
44 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
45 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
46 in your programs, for future compatibility.
47 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
48 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
49 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
50 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
51 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
52 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
53 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
54 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
55 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
56 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
57 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
58 a debug shell.
59 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
60 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
61 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
62 /etc/hosts can be found.
63 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
64 configuration.
65 - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
66 PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
67 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
68 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications $_ by the callback
69 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
70 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
71 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
72 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
73 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
74 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
75 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
76 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
77 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
78 supports /etc/hosts overrides.
79 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
80 and (newly introduced) in POE.
81 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
82 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
83 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
84 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
85 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
86 (reported by Gerald Galster).
87 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
88 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
89 do not support blocking waits.
90 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
91 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
92 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
93 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
94 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
95 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
96 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
97 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
98 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
99 - suppress the idiotic warning inside POE by patching the POE::Kernel
100 run flags instead of asking the user to jump through contortions.
101 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
102 - replace PF_UNSPEC by 0, for good old minix.
103
1046.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)
105
1065.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
107 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
108 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
109 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
110
1115.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
112 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
113 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
114 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
115 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
116 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
117 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
118 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
119 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
120 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
121 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
122 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
123 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
124 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
125
1265.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
127 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
128 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
129 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
130 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
131 documentation for caveats.
132 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
133 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
134 AnyEvent::Handle).
135 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
136 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
137
1385.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
139 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
140 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
141 the availabilty of a default loop!
142 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
143 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
144 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
145 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
146 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
147 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
148 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
149 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
150
1515.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
152 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
153 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
154 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
155 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
156 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
157 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
158 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
159 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
160 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
161 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
162 as part of the perl core.
163 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
164 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
165 minimal perl...).
166
1675.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
168 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
169 actually used in tcp_server.
170 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
171 missing.
172 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
173 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
174 resulting in more informative error messages.
175 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
176 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
177 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
178 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
179 of AnyEvent::TLS.
180 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
181 requested by Ron Isaacson.
182 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
183 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
184 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
185 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
186 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
187
1885.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
189 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
190
1915.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
192 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
193 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
194 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
195 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
196 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
197 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
198 - better/more condvar examples.
199
2005.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
201 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
202 time (found by Andy Grundman).
203
2045.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
205 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
206 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
207 by Bas Denissen).
208 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
209 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
210 EV and Perl backends.
211 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
212 backends.
213 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
214 never documented nor universally supported).
215 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
216 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
217
2185.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
219 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
220 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
221 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
222
2235.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
224 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
225 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
226 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
227 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
228 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
229 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
230 by lucky accident on win32.
231 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
232 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
233 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
234 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
235 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
236 detection and eval.
237 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
238 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
239 (same algorithm as EV).
240 - update unicode idna mapping table.
241
2425.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
243 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
244 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
245 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
246 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
247
2485.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
249 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
250 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
251 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
252 - provide $AE::VERSION.
253 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
254
2555.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
256 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
257 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
258 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
259 when passing scalar data to extensions).
260 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
261 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
262 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
263 (John Beppu).
264 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
265 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
266 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
267 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
268
2695.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
270 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
271 (spotted by David Friedland).
272 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
273 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
274 unless you rip out everything but the core).
275 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
276 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
277
2785.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
279 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
280 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
281 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
282 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
283 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
284
2855.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
286 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
287 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
288 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
289 (analysed by elmex).
290
2915.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
292 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
293 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
294 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
295 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
296 AnyEvent::Handle.
297 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
298 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
299 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
300 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
301
3025.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
303 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
304 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
305 by Michael S. Fischer).
306 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
307 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
308 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
309 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
310 by default.
311 - fix some prototypes.
312 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
313 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
314
3155.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
316 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
317 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
318 - port to broken win32 perls.
319
3205.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
321 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
322 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
323 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
324 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
325 OSes as well).
326
3275.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
328 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
329 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
330 to reduce dependency on JSON.
331
3325.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
333 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
334 one (was broken since 4.91).
335 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
336 when retrying a tcp_connect.
337 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
338 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
339
3405.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
341 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
342
3435.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
344 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
345 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
346 in AnyEvent::Handle.
347 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
348 settings.
349 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
350 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
351 exporting the probe function).
352 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
353 code to work around it's watcher limits.
354 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
355 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
356 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
357 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
358 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
359
3604.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
361 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
362 already contains some TLS handshake.
363 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
364 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
365 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
366 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
367 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
368
3694.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
370 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
371 a negative value, so avoid that.
372 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
373 after the condition is already signalled.
374 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
375 data.
376 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
377 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
378 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
379 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
380 any issues).
381 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
382 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
383 by name (not name or number).
384 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
385 only compiling signal code when necessary.
386 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
387 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
388 said future/alternative API.
389 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
390
3914.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
392 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
393 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
394 (analysed by elmex).
395
3964.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
397 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
398 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
399 for errors after every push_write etc.
400 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
401 platforms.
402
4034.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
404 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
405 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
406 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
407 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
408 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
409 tutorial accordingly.
410 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.

34.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009 4124.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
4 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document 413 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
5 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure. 414 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
6 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib. 415 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
7 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries. 416 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
8 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts. 417 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
9 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness 418 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness

13 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all 422 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
14 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY). 423 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
15 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available. 424 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
2124.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008 6214.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
213 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE, 622 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
214 unless one has been installed already. 623 unless one has been installed already.
