3TODO: docs signal for condvar 3TODO: document TCP_*** constants

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.

6 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration 201 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
7 time (found by Andy Grundman). 202 time (found by Andy Grundman).
