1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2
34.341
4 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
5 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
6 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
7 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
8 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
9 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
10
114.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
12 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
13 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
14 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
15 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
16 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
17 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
18 backend.
19 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
20
214.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
22 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
23 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
24 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
25 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
26 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
27 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
28
294.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
30 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
31 illegal.
32 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
33 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
34 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
35 by Adam Rosenstein).
36 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
37 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
38 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
39
404.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
41 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
42 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
43 the socket type.
44 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
45
464.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
47 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
48 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
49 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
50 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
51 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
52 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
53
544.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
55 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
56 unless one has been installed already.
57 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
58 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
59 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
60 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
61 client would first wait for some data by the server and
62 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
63 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
64 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
65 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
66 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
67 Rosenstein).
68 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
69 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
70 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
71 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
72 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
73 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
74 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
75 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
76 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
77 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
78 now, more to come, though.
79 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
80
814.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
82 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
83 no trace events.
84 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
85 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
86 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
87 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
88 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
89 Time::HiRes).
90
914.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
92 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
93 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
94
954.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
96 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
97 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
98 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
99 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
100
1014.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
102 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
103 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
104 perls without resource leaks or worse).
105
1064.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
107 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
108 the callback.
109 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
110 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
111 eol marker.
112 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
113 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
114 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
115
1164.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
117 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
118 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
119 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
120 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
121 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
122
1234.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
124 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
125 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
126 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
127 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
128 unusable way.
129 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
130 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
131 K. Sharifulin).
132
1334.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
134 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
135 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
136 be delayed under some circumstances.
137 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
138 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
139 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
140 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
141 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
142 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
143
1444.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
145 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
146 assumption that all data could be written before read
147 (reported by Jim Razmus).
148
1494.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
150 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
151 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
152 implementation (also affected child watchers).
153 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
154
1554.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
156 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
157 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
158 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
159
1604.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
161 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
162 works.
163
1644.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
165 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
166 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
167 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
168 for AnyEvent::Handle.
169 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
170 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
171
1724.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
173 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
174 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
175 executing the guard block as warnings.
176 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
177
1784.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
179 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
180 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
181 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
182 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
183 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
184 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
185 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
186 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
187 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
188 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
189 enter an endless loop.
190 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
191 busy again after idling.
192 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
193 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
194 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
195 (hopefully).
196 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
197 away any time.
198
1994.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
200 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
201 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
202 - allow more options in on_error.
203
2044.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
205 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
206 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
207 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
208 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
209 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
210 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
211 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
212 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
213 rfc 2782.
214 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
215 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
216 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
217 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
218 could die. this has been fixed.
219 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
220 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
221 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
222 for resolver class.
223 - update version numbers in all modules.
224
2254.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
226 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
227 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
228 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
229 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
230 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
231 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
232 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
233 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
234 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
235 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
236 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
237 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
238 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
239 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
240 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
241 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
242 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
243 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
244 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
245 but EV also works around this).
246 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
247 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
248 vs. callback arguments.
249 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
250
2514.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
252 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
253 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
254 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
255 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
256
2574.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
258 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
259 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
260 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
261 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
262 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
263 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
264 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
265 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
266 sake of perl 5.8.
267 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
268 (still a hack...)
269 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
270 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
271 die handlers.
272
2734.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
274 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
275 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
276 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
277 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
278 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
279 - updated documentation.
280 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
281 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
282 in AnyEvent::Handle.
283 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
284 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
285 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
286 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
287
2884.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
289 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
290 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
291 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
292 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
293 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
294 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
295 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
296 verbatim ip addresses.
297 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
298 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
299 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
300 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
301 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
302 become writable until empty.
303 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
304 returns ENOTCONN.
305 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
306 override.
307 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
308
3093.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
310 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
311 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
312 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
313 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
314 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
315 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
316 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
317 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
318 first and second argument.
319 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
320 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
321 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
322 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
323 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
324
3253.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
326 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
327
3283.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
329 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
330 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
331 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
332 (still subject to change).
333 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
334 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
335 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
336 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
337 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
338 via Coro::AnyEvent.
339
3403.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
341 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
342 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
343 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
344 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
345 the different event loops with each other.
346 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
347 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
348 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
349 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
350 kept alive.
351 - document the race between loading of an event module and
352 child processes exiting.
353 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
354 enough, and darn slow).
355 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
356 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
357 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
358 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
359 faster than Event and Glib :).
360 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
361 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
362 to other event loops where possible.
2 363
33.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008 3643.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
4 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks 365 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
5 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered 366 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
6 for the same fh/poll combo). 367 for the same fh/poll combo).
7 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions. 368 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
8 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable. 369 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
9 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module. 370 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
10 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed). 371 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
372 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.

123.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008 3743.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
13 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow. 375 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
14 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate, 376 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
15 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue. 377 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
