5TODO: AE::logger
6TODO: add debug/trace logging to some modules
7 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
8 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
9 to higher log levels to print by default.
10 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
11 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
12 how that module sucks.
13 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
14 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
15 of 127.0.0.1).
16 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
17 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
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 which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
23 delivery.
24 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
25 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
26 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
27 of the context as title.
28 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
29 to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
30 to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
31 attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
32 AnyEvent.
33
346.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
35 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
36 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
37 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
38 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
39 to work around.
40 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
41
426.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011
43 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
44 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
45 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
46 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
47 AnyEvent::Socket.
48 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
49 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
50 methods.
51 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
52 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
53 - DEPRECIATION: please change
54 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
55 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
56 in your programs, for future compatibility.
57 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
58 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
59 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
60 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
61 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
62 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
63 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
64 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
65 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
66 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
67 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
68 a debug shell.
69 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
70 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
71 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
72 /etc/hosts can be found.
73 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
74 configuration.
75 - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
76 PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
77 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
78 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications $_ by the callback
79 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
80 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
81 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
82 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
83 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
84 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
85 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
86 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
87 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
88 supports /etc/hosts overrides.
89 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
90 and (newly introduced) in POE.
91 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
92 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
93 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
94 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
95 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
96 (reported by Gerald Galster).
97 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
98 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
99 do not support blocking waits.
100 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
101 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
102 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
103 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
104 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
105 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
106 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
107 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
108 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
109 - suppress the idiotic warning inside POE by patching the POE::Kernel
110 run flags instead of asking the user to jump through contortions.
111 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
112 - replace PF_UNSPEC by 0, for good old minix.
113
1146.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)
115
1165.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
117 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
118 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
119 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
120
1215.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
122 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
123 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
124 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
8 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0. 125 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
9 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve, 126 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
10 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense. 127 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
128 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
129 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
11 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing. 130 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
12 - passes the uts46 testsuite except for three cases which apparently 131 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
13 are bugs in the tetssuite itself. 132 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
133 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
134 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.

16 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and 137 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
17 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue. 138 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
18 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien). 139 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
