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
9 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and 127 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
10 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue. 128 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
11 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien). 129 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
12 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its 130 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
13 documentation for caveats. 131 documentation for caveats.
14 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set. 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).
15 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method. 135 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
136 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
