14 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::tcp_bind.
15 - new functions AnyEvent::fh_block and AnyEvent::fh_unblock.
16 - aligned ipv6 address formatting with RFC 5952 (by not shortening
17 a single :0: to ::).
18 - added stability canary support.
19
207.09 Sat May 2 16:38:53 CEST 2015
21 - AnyEvent::Debug called an internal function (AnyEvent::Log::ft)
22 that was renamed to AnyEvent::Log:format_time. uinder its old name
23 (analyzed by Michael Stovenour).
24 - update AnyEvent::DNS fallback resolver addresses:
25 seems google effectively killed most other free dns resolvers,
26 so remove them, but add cable and wireless (ecrc) since it was
27 stable for 20 years or so, official or not, and there should be
28 an alternative to google.
29 - perl5porters broke windows error codes in 5.20, and mapped
30 WSAEWOULDBLOCK on the (different) EWOULDBLOCK error code, and
31 WSAEINPROGRESS into the incompatible ERINPROGRESS code, probably
32 because they were so cool. They probably broke other error codes
33 for no reason, too, but I didn't care for checking, it's too
34 depressing. This version only works around the WSAEWOULDBLOCK
35 issue, because I don't have a nice way to work around the
36 WSAEINPROGRESS bug.
37
387.08 Wed Dec 10 05:27:17 CET 2014
39 - work around a newly introduced bug in Socket 2.011 (an
40 errornous sun_length check) (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
41 - AnyEvent::TLS didn't load (but refer to) AnyEvent::Socket
42 (analyzed by Ben Magistro).
43 - AnyEvent::Strict will now confess, not croak. This is in line with
44 it being a development/debugging tool.
45 - work around a number of libglib bugs (debug builds of libglib enforce
46 certain undocumented behaviour patterns such as not being able to
47 remove a child watch source after it has fired, which we will try
48 to emulate to avoid "criticals". what where they thinking...).
49 - mention json security issues in AnyEvent::Handle, now that Douglas
50 Crockford has foolishly and incompatibly changed JSON.
51 - changed default dns resolver "max_outstanding" value from 1 to 10,
52 the latter beinfg the intended value all along
53 (reported by Ilya Chesnokov).
54 - added new "AnyEvent::Impl::UV" interface module to the UV event lib
55 (written by Mike Lowell).
56
577.07 Tue Dec 17 17:45:02 CET 2013
58 - the documentation for custom tls verify schemes was wrong. make it agree
59 with the code (reported by Maxime Soulé).
60 - added cbor read and write types to AnyEvent::Handle (using CBOR::XS).
61 - work around an API change in openssl that could cause wrong tls connection
62 aborts, likely on windows only (analyzed by sten).
63 - calling AnyEvent->now_update with AnyEvent::Impl::Perl caused an
64 endless loop (reported by Dietrich Rebmann).
65 - add tlsv1_1 and tlsv1_2 protocols to AnyEvent::TLS
66 (patch by Maxime Soulé).
67 - document AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync::set_loop and
68 $AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync::LOOP. Though only documented now, this
69 functionality has _always_ been available.
70 - force a toplevel domain name in t/81_hosts.t (analyzed by
71 David Jack Wange Olrik).
72 - document that AnyEvent::Log uses AnyEvent::IO.
73 - warn about AnyEvent::Filesys::Notify performance.
74 - praise the joys of AnyEvent::Fork::*.
75 - time for an =encoding directive.
76 - do no longer use JSON to create a default json coder, use
77 JSON::XS or JSON::PP directly.
78
797.05 Wed Aug 21 10:38:08 CEST 2013
80 - uts46data.pl couldn't be found due to wrong naming of the file
81 (reported by Fulko Hew).
82 - handle lone \015's properly in AE::Handle's default line read
83 (reported by various people).
84 - untaint ip addresses found in /etc/hosts (patch by José Micó).
85 - the memleak fix in 7.03 caused resolving via /etc/hosts to always
86 fail on first use (reported and testcase by Andrew Whatson).
87 - expose AnyEvent::Log::format_time, and allow users to redefine it.
88 - expose AnyEvent::Log::default_format, and allow redefinition.
89 - expose AnyEvent::Log::fatal_exit, to allow redefinition.
90 - AnyEvent::Debug shell can now run coro shell commands, if available.
91 - t/63* tests were wrongly in MANIFEST.
92 - kernel.org's finger server went MIA, switch to freebsd.org and
93 icculus.org.
94 - clarify that IO::AIO and AnyEvent::AIO are needed for AnyEvent::IO
95 to function asynchronously (reported by Daniel Carosone).
96 - hard-disable $^W in most tests, it generates too much garbage output.
97 - use a (hopefully) more future-proof method to emulate common::sense.
98 - upgrade to UTS-46:6.2.0.
99 - switch to INSTLIB from INSTLIBDIR, as INSTLIBDIR was wrongly
100 documented. should not affect anything.
101
1027.04 Thu Nov 15 02:23:58 CET 2012
103 - debugging code left in.
104
1057.03 Thu Nov 15 02:16:11 CET 2012
106 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton did not work when dns resolution was
107 used to find the addresses (analyzed and patch by Maxime Soulé).
108 - fix a memory leak in the /etc/hosts lookup code when hosts don't
109 resolve and are not in hosts (analyzed by sten).
110
1117.02 Tue Aug 14 04:27:58 CEST 2012
112 - AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd could block indefinitely (analyzed and test
113 program by Yorhel).
114 - verified that AnyEvent::Socket follows RFC5952.
115 - try to parse "ADDR#PORT" in addition to "ADDR PORT".
116
1177.01 Sun May 13 01:03:17 CEST 2012
118 - fail with EPROTO in AnyEvent::Handle wqhen TLS is requested but
119 not available, instead of throwing an exception.
120 - use File::Spec to get the tmpdir in t/*, to avoid needless
121 failures on (most, not mine :) windows boxes.
122 - new handle read types: tls_detect and tls_autostart.
123
1247.0 Fri Apr 13 06:33:30 CEST 2012
125 - child watchers are broken in POE 1.352 (also many earlier
126 versions) and there seems to be no way to work around it, as POE
127 itself is inherently racy. Document this regression and add a delay
128 in t/68_poe_03_child.t for the time being.
129 - new module AnyEvent::IO, that is a frontend to either a pure-perl
130 synchronous I/O implementation (AnyEvent::IO::Perl), or to the
131 asynchronous I/O extension IO::AIO (AnyEvent::IO::IOAIO).
132 - load /etc/hosts only when DNS has no answer.
133 - stat /etc/hosts on every access and reload it if it changed.
134 - load /etc/hosts via AnyEvent::IO - potentially asynchronous.
135 - fix a buggy croak in the dh parameter reading in AnyEvent::TLS.
136 - AnyEvent::Log log_to_file and log_to_path now use AnyEvent::IO. As
137 a side effect, they now use true appending as opposed to libc
138 appending, and the file might not have been opened when the function
139 returns.
140 - the default logging level was not properly documented in a variety of
141 places, this has hopefully been rectified.
142 - updated uts46data.pl for unicode 6.1.0.
143 - made log messages generated by AnyEvent submodules not
144 include the package name anymore, as it will be logged
145 by default already.
146 - upgrade to the trick used by common-sense 3.5 to work
147 around extra warning torture/breakage under perl 5.15.x.
148 - log messages by anyevent are now ucfirst, are usually full
149 sentences and do no longer include the package name.
150 - the storable read type would sometimes throw an exception instead
151 of causing EBADMSG (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
152 - work around a bug in openssl 1.0.1 which enforces a minimum rsa
153 keysize (reported by Paul Howarth).
154 - documented Rocco fabricating statements about AnyEvent and me.
155
1566.14 Tue Jan 31 20:00:24 CET 2012
157 - AnyEvent::Impl::Tk was broken due to a mysterious "die" inside,
158 probably an editing mistake (reported by Darin McBride).
159
1606.13 Thu Jan 12 07:27:01 CET 2012
161 - AnyEvent::Util::fork_call checked for POSIX availability in the wrong way,
162 causing it to fail if POSIX wasn't loaded already (analysed by Rock Power).
163 - AnyEvent::Handle::push_read (line => did pass $1 directly, so
164 regex-matching inside the callback would change the parameter, despite
165 $1 being dynamically scoped per-block. this perl bug is now being
166 worked around (testcase by Cindy Wang).
167
1686.12 Mon Dec 12 13:21:10 CET 2011
169 - $! was clobbered by subsequent calls in tcp_connect, due to
170 the postpone not saving/restoring it (analyzed by Richard Garnish).
171
1726.11 Tue Nov 22 10:36:05 CET 2011
173 - Tk cannot create windows when tainted unless you set a title, so
174 set a dummy title for AnyEvent's dummy mainwindow. How dummy.
175 - escape any nonprintable/nonascii characters when stringifying
176 backtraces.
177 - log the reason loading an interface module fails to load at level debug.
178
1796.1 Tue Oct 4 19:44:30 CEST 2011
10 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error 180 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
11 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated 181 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
12 to higher log levels to print by default. 182 to higher log levels to print by default.
13 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal. 183 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
184 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
185 how that module sucks.
14 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally 186 - 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 187 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
16 of 127.0.0.1). 188 of 127.0.0.1).
17 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level. 189 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
190 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
191 - 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 192 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
19 intervals. 193 intervals.
20 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded. 194 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
21 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx. 195 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
196 which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
197 delivery.
22 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial. 198 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
199 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
200 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
201 of the context as title.
202 - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback
203 died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging...
204 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
205 to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
206 to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
207 attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
208 AnyEvent.
