|
|
3 | TODO: document TCP_*** constants |
|
|
4 | |
|
|
5 | TODO: AE::logger |
|
|
6 | TODO: 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::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to. |
|
|
19 | - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular |
|
|
20 | intervals. |
|
|
21 | - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded. |
|
|
22 | - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx, |
|
|
23 | which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal |
|
|
24 | delivery. |
|
|
25 | - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial. |
|
|
26 | - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY. |
|
|
27 | - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name |
|
|
28 | of the context as title. |
|
|
29 | - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse |
|
|
30 | to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses |
|
|
31 | to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively |
|
|
32 | attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use |
|
|
33 | AnyEvent. |
|
|
34 | |
|
|
35 | 6.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011 |
|
|
36 | - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings. |
|
|
37 | - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level" |
|
|
38 | *literally* means that string. sheesh. |
|
|
39 | - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try |
|
|
40 | to work around. |
|
|
41 | - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK. |
|
|
42 | |
|
|
43 | 6.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011 |
|
|
44 | - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include |
|
|
45 | the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request |
|
|
46 | and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as |
|
|
47 | AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is |
|
|
48 | AnyEvent::Socket. |
|
|
49 | - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement |
|
|
50 | one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll |
|
|
51 | methods. |
|
|
52 | - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see |
|
|
53 | AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details. |
|
|
54 | - DEPRECIATION: please change |
|
|
55 | "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and |
|
|
56 | "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run" |
|
|
57 | in your programs, for future compatibility. |
|
|
58 | - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked. |
|
|
59 | - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well. |
|
|
60 | - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since |
|
|
61 | this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for |
|
|
62 | for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback |
|
|
63 | instead (reported by James Bromberger). |
|
|
64 | - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield). |
|
|
65 | - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log. |
|
|
66 | - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs. |
|
|
67 | - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config. |
|
|
68 | - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start |
|
|
69 | a debug shell. |
|
|
70 | - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable |
|
|
71 | watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap). |
|
|
72 | - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where |
|
|
73 | /etc/hosts can be found. |
|
|
74 | - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default |
|
|
75 | configuration. |
|
|
76 | - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of |
|
|
77 | PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules. |
|
|
78 | - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality. |
|
|
79 | - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications $_ by the callback |
|
|
80 | (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible). |
|
|
81 | - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer. |
|
|
82 | Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour. |
|
|
83 | - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl |
|
|
84 | module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl). |
|
|
85 | - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could |
|
|
86 | errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own |
|
|
87 | (reported by Mohammad Toossi). |
|
|
88 | - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now |
|
|
89 | supports /etc/hosts overrides. |
|
|
90 | - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async |
|
|
91 | and (newly introduced) in POE. |
|
|
92 | - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations, |
|
|
93 | if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde). |
|
|
94 | - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2. |
|
|
95 | - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during |
|
|
96 | transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}". |
|
|
97 | (reported by Gerald Galster). |
|
|
98 | - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable |
|
|
99 | with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that |
|
|
100 | do not support blocking waits. |
|
|
101 | - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although |
|
|
102 | the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear. |
|
|
103 | - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS. |
|
|
104 | - add t/80_ssltext.t. |
|
|
105 | - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason). |
|
|
106 | - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed. |
|
|
107 | - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached |
|
|
108 | copies of AnyEvent::detect. |
|
|
109 | - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets. |
|
|
110 | - suppress the idiotic warning inside POE by patching the POE::Kernel |
|
|
111 | run flags instead of asking the user to jump through contortions. |
|
|
112 | - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time). |
|
|
113 | - replace PF_UNSPEC by 0, for good old minix. |
|
|
114 | |
|
|
115 | 6.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/) |
|
|
116 | |
|
|
117 | 5.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011 |
|
|
118 | - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time, |
|
|
119 | due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti). |
|
|
120 | - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly. |
|
|
121 | |
|
|
122 | 5.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011 |
|
|
123 | - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons. |
|
|
124 | - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle |
|
|
125 | object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock). |
|
|
126 | - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0. |
|
|
127 | - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve, |
|
|
128 | uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense. |
|
|
129 | - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove, |
|
|
130 | uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense. |
|
|
131 | - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing. |
|
|
132 | - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which |
|
|
133 | apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself. |
|
|
134 | - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which |
|
|
135 | apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself. |
|
|
136 | |
|
|
137 | 5.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011 |
|
|
138 | - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and |
|
|
139 | invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue. |
|
|
140 | - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien). |
|
|
141 | - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its |
|
|
142 | documentation for caveats. |
|
|
143 | - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose |
|
|
144 | an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects |
|
|
145 | AnyEvent::Handle). |
|
|
146 | - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method. |
|
|
147 | - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method. |
|
|
148 | |
|
|
149 | 5.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010 |
|
|
150 | - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major |
|
|
151 | issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including |
|
|
152 | the availabilty of a default loop! |
|
|
153 | - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle. |
|
|
154 | - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase. |
|
|
155 | - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans). |
|
|
156 | - clarify handle on_prepare documentation. |
|
|
157 | - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd, |
|
|
158 | to avoid leaking them to any child processes. |
|
|
159 | - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the |
|
|
160 | half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it. |
|
|
161 | |
|
|
162 | 5.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010 |
|
|
163 | - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too). |
|
|
164 | - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add |
|
|
165 | max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048. |
|
|
166 | - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error. |
|
|
167 | - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle. |
|
|
168 | - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle. |
|
|
169 | - wrok around more segfaults in Tk. |
|
|
170 | - document tls_ctx => undef as valid. |
|
|
171 | - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime. |
|
|
172 | - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent |
|
|
173 | as part of the perl core. |
|
|
174 | - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8. |
|
|
175 | - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a |
|
|
176 | minimal perl...). |
|
|
177 | |
|
|
178 | 5.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010 |
|
|
179 | - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't |
|
|
180 | actually used in tcp_server. |
|
|
181 | - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but |
|
|
182 | missing. |
|
|
183 | - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read. |
|
|
184 | - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently, |
|
|
185 | resulting in more informative error messages. |
|
|
186 | - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage. |
|
|
187 | - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read. |
|
|
188 | - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory, |
|
|
189 | and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections |
|
|
190 | of AnyEvent::TLS. |
|
|
191 | - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as |
|
|
192 | requested by Ron Isaacson. |
|
|
193 | - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable. |
|
|
194 | - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen. |
|
|
195 | - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed. |
|
|
196 | - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util, |
|
|
197 | undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy. |
|
|
198 | |
|
|
199 | 5.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010 |
|
|
200 | - backport to perl 5.8.x. |
|
|
201 | |
|
|
202 | 5.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010 |
|
|
203 | - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as |
|
|
204 | when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail |
|
|
205 | (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann). |
|
|
206 | - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many |
|
|
207 | clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working. |
|
|
208 | - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section. |
|
|
209 | - better/more condvar examples. |
|
|
210 | |
|
|
211 | 5.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010 |
|
|
212 | - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration |
|
|
213 | time (found by Andy Grundman). |
|
|
214 | |
|
|
215 | 5.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010 |
|
|
216 | - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select |
|
|
217 | returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase |
|
|
218 | by Bas Denissen). |
|
|
219 | - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE. |
|
|
220 | - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for |
|
|
221 | EV and Perl backends. |
|
|
222 | - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all |
|
|
223 | backends. |
|
|
224 | - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was |
|
|
225 | never documented nor universally supported). |
|
|
226 | - some more memory µ-optimisations, and somewhat less messy |
|
|
227 | code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs. |
|
|
228 | |
|
|
229 | 5.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010 |
|
|
230 | - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <= |
|
|
231 | 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult, |
|
|
232 | so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time. |
|
|
233 | |
|
|
234 | 5.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010 |
|
|
235 | - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause |
|
|
236 | a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_ |
|
|
237 | ssl connection) after user code threw an exception. |
|
|
238 | - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method. |
|
|
239 | - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6. |
|
|
240 | - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only |
|
|
241 | by lucky accident on win32. |
|
|
242 | - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking. |
|
|
243 | - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent |
|
|
244 | did not fall back to built-in time properly. |
|
|
245 | - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time. |
|
|
246 | - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime |
|
|
247 | detection and eval. |
|
|
248 | - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations. |
|
|
249 | - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved |
|
|
250 | (same algorithm as EV). |
|
|
251 | - update unicode idna mapping table. |
|
|
252 | |
|
|
253 | 5.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010 |
|
|
254 | - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives |
|
|
255 | you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and |
|
|
256 | just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack. |
|
|
257 | - improve idle watcher documentation slightly. |
|
|
258 | |
|
|
259 | 5.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009 |
|
|
260 | - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect. |
|
|
261 | - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep, |
|
|
262 | idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util. |
|
|
263 | - provide $AE::VERSION. |
|
|
264 | - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'". |
|
|
265 | |
|
|
266 | 5.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009 |
|
|
267 | - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to |
|
|
268 | diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly. |
|
|
269 | (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info |
|
|
270 | when passing scalar data to extensions). |
|
|
271 | - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage. |
|
|
272 | - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03. |
|
|
273 | - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS |
|
|
274 | (John Beppu). |
|
|
275 | - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented. |
|
|
276 | - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure |
|
|
277 | we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all |
|
|
278 | fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config. |
|
|
279 | |
|
|
280 | 5.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009 |
|
|
281 | - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters |
|
|
282 | (spotted by David Friedland). |
|
|
283 | - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki). |
|
|
284 | - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work |
|
|
285 | unless you rip out everything but the core). |
|
|
286 | - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32. |
|
|
287 | uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*. |
|
|
288 | |
|
|
289 | 5.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009 |
|
|
290 | - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows |
|
|
291 | (analysed by Matthias Waldorf). |
|
|
292 | - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the |
|
|
293 | newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might |
|
|
294 | sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve). |
|
|
295 | |
|
|
296 | 5.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009 |
|
|
297 | - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken |
|
|
298 | (reported by Torsten Foertsch). |
|
|
299 | - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception |
|
|
300 | (analysed by elmex). |
|
|
301 | |
|
|
302 | 5.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009 |
|
|
303 | - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type |
|
|
304 | and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support |
|
|
305 | package names (the facility was mostly abused). |
|
|
306 | - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in |
|
|
307 | AnyEvent::Handle. |
|
|
308 | - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline". |
|
|
309 | - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues. |
|
|
310 | - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback |
|
|
311 | support (spotted by Pavel Boldin). |
|
|
312 | |
|
|
313 | 5.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009 |
|
|
314 | - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people |
|
|
315 | use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported |
|
|
316 | by Michael S. Fischer). |
|
|
317 | - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0. |
|
|
318 | - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems |
|
|
319 | with large hex constants in the Perl backend. |
|
|
320 | - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS |
|
|
321 | by default. |
|
|
322 | - fix some prototypes. |
|
|
323 | - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02. |
|
|
324 | - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers. |
|
|
325 | |
|
|
326 | 5.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009 |
|
|
327 | - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when |
|
|
328 | using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context. |
|
|
329 | - port to broken win32 perls. |
|
|
330 | |
|
|
331 | 5.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009 |
|
|
332 | - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the |
|
|
333 | kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding |
|
|
334 | sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses |
|
|
335 | the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other |
|
|
336 | OSes as well). |
|
|
337 | |
|
|
338 | 5.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009 |
|
|
339 | - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename. |
|
|
340 | - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction |
|
|
341 | to reduce dependency on JSON. |
|
|
342 | |
|
|
343 | 5.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009 |
|
|
344 | - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated |
|
|
345 | one (was broken since 4.91). |
|
|
346 | - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers |
|
|
347 | when retrying a tcp_connect. |
|
|
348 | - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except. |
|
|
349 | - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket. |
|
|
350 | |
|
|
351 | 5.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009 |
|
|
352 | - last release broke EV child watchers :/. |
|
|
353 | |
|
|
354 | 5.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009 |
|
|
355 | - officially introduce and document the AE API. |
|
|
356 | - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect |
|
|
357 | in AnyEvent::Handle. |
|
|
358 | - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout |
|
|
359 | settings. |
|
|
360 | - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at |
|
|
361 | runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids |
|
|
362 | exporting the probe function). |
|
|
363 | - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation |
|
|
364 | code to work around it's watcher limits. |
|
|
365 | - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects. |
|
|
366 | - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy. |
|
|
367 | - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy. |
|
|
368 | - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend. |
|
|
369 | - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules. |
|
|
370 | |
|
|
371 | 4.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009 |
|
|
372 | - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer |
|
|
373 | already contains some TLS handshake. |
|
|
374 | - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger |
|
|
375 | memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster). |
|
|
376 | - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking |
|
|
377 | the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback. |
|
|
378 | - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API. |
|
|
379 | |
|
|
380 | 4.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009 |
|
|
381 | - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with |
|
|
382 | a negative value, so avoid that. |
|
|
383 | - call condvar callback immediately when it is set |
|
|
384 | after the condition is already signalled. |
|
|
385 | - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume |
|
|
386 | data. |
|
|
387 | - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's |
|
|
388 | signal handling, but do not document this (yet). |
|
|
389 | - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking |
|
|
390 | mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused |
|
|
391 | any issues). |
|
|
392 | - new module: AnyEvent::Debug. |
|
|
393 | - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified |
|
|
394 | by name (not name or number). |
|
|
395 | - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by |
|
|
396 | only compiling signal code when necessary. |
|
|
397 | - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max. |
|
|
398 | - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for |
|
|
399 | said future/alternative API. |
|
|
400 | - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport. |
|
|
401 | |
|
|
402 | 4.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009 |
|
|
403 | - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing |
|
|
404 | AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not |
|
|
405 | (analysed by elmex). |
|
|
406 | |
|
|
407 | 4.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009 |
|
|
408 | - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling |
|
|
409 | AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check |
|
|
410 | for errors after every push_write etc. |
|
|
411 | - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken |
|
|
412 | platforms. |
|
|
413 | |
|
|
414 | 4.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009 |
|
|
415 | - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh. |
|
|
416 | - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply |
|
|
417 | segfault in Net::SSLeay. |
|
|
418 | - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters |
|
|
419 | connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated |
|
|
420 | tutorial accordingly. |
|
|
421 | - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend. |
|
|
422 | |
|
|
423 | 4.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009 |
|
|
424 | - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document |
|
|
425 | that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure. |
|
|
426 | - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib. |
|
|
427 | - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries. |
|
|
428 | - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts. |
|
|
429 | - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness |
|
|
430 | in IO::Async. |
|
|
431 | |
|
|
432 | 4.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009 |
|
|
433 | - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all |
|
|
434 | (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY). |
|
|
435 | - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available. |
|
|
436 | - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only. |
|
|
437 | - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent |
|
|
438 | documentation. |
|
|
439 | - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty) |
|
|
440 | by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules. |
|
|
441 | - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG |
|
|
442 | and EPROTO ourselves when missing. |
|
|
443 | - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop. |
|
|
444 | - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement. |
|
|
445 | |
|
|
446 | 4.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009 |
|
|
447 | - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname. |
|
|
448 | - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking |
|
|
449 | waits and will croak, as too many people fall into |
|
|
450 | this trap. |
|
|
451 | - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after |
|
|
452 | executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some |
|
|
453 | half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors. |
|
|
454 | - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and |
|
|
455 | on_read callbacks. |
|
|
456 | - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect. |
|
|
457 | |
|
|
458 | 4.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009 |
|
|
459 | - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as |
|
|
460 | callbacks. |
|
|
461 | - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names |
|
|
462 | in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX |
|
|
463 | module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/. |
|
|
464 | - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in |
|
|
465 | Event::Lib. |
|
|
466 | - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t |
|
|
467 | to rarely fail. |
|
|
468 | |
|
|
469 | 4.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009 |
|
|
470 | - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors |
|
|
471 | (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :). |
|
|
472 | - support file descriptors in addition to file handles |
|
|
473 | in AnyEvent->io. |
|
|
474 | - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF, |
|
|
475 | PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE |
|
|
476 | and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH. |
|
|
477 | - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS. |
|
|
478 | - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage. |
|
|
479 | - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a |
|
|
480 | portable_socketpair. |
|
|
481 | - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend, |
|
|
482 | YMMV. |
|
|
483 | |
|
|
484 | 4.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009 |
|
|
485 | - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with |
|
|
486 | uppercase targets. |
|
|
487 | - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records |
|
|
488 | with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses, |
|
|
489 | causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception. |
|
|
490 | - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context |
|
|
491 | creation, with many options including hostname verification, |
|
|
492 | secure default configuration, lots of documentation and, |
|
|
493 | predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security |
|
|
494 | and much more. get it while it's still fresh! |
|
|
495 | - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management. |
|
|
496 | - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS, |
|
|
497 | so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint |
|
|
498 | in the common case. |
|
|
499 | - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method. |
|
|
500 | - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's |
|
|
501 | on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available). |
|
|
502 | - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks. |
|
|
503 | - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction |
|
|
504 | failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case |
|
|
505 | from the constructor. |
|
|
506 | - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first, |
|
|
507 | then fall back to JSON. |
|
|
508 | - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry, |
|
|
509 | and because it was documented that way. |
|
|
510 | |
|
|
511 | 4.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009 |
|
|
512 | - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle |
|
|
513 | object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP. |
|
|
514 | |
|
|
515 | 4.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009 |
|
|
516 | - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create |
|
|
517 | an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh. |
|
|
518 | - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both |
|
|
519 | AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address, |
|
|
520 | to treat them just like ipv4 addresses. |
|
|
521 | - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc. |
|
|
522 | - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6. |
|
|
523 | - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair. |
|
|
524 | - expand condvar begin/end documentation. |
|
|
525 | |
|
|
526 | 4.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009 |
|
|
527 | - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async. |
|
|
528 | - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in |
|
|
529 | case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses |
|
|
530 | even when the calling env acts stupidly. |
|
|
531 | - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well. |
|
|
532 | |
|
|
533 | 4.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009 |
|
|
534 | - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS |
|
|
535 | and set it on the default resolver. |
|
|
536 | - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop. |
|
|
537 | - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV |
|
|
538 | when running in tainted mode. |
|
|
539 | - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark. |
|
|
540 | |
|
|
541 | 4.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009 |
|
|
542 | - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows. |
|
|
543 | |
|
|
544 | 4.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009 |
|
|
545 | - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when |
|
|
546 | a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash. |
|
|
547 | - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running |
|
|
548 | destructors. |
|
|
549 | - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being |
|
|
550 | synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own |
|
|
551 | implementation. |
|
|
552 | - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name |
|
|
553 | for cosmetic reasons. |
|
|
554 | |
|
|
555 | 4.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009 |
|
|
556 | - implemented idle watchers, where applicable. |
|
|
557 | - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use. |
|
|
558 | - fix a memleak in the Tk backend. |
|
|
559 | - sped up Tk timer handling. |
|
|
560 | - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event |
|
|
561 | to avoid spamming out warning messages. |
|
|
562 | - fix Qt timers without interval. |
|
|
563 | - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's. |
|
|
564 | |
|
|
565 | 4.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009 |
|
|
566 | - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers. |
|
|
567 | - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions. |
|
|
568 | - add AnyEvent->now_update. |
|
|
569 | |
|
|
570 | 4.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009 |
|
|
571 | - actually make the signal pipe work under win32. |
|
|
572 | - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although |
|
|
573 | perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either. |
|
|
574 | - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too). |
|
|
575 | |
|
|
576 | 4.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009 |
|
|
577 | - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did |
|
|
578 | invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation |
|
|
579 | and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own |
|
|
580 | event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make |
|
|
581 | callback execution synchronous to the event loop. |
|
|
582 | - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY |
|
|
583 | (patch by Pavel Shaydo). |
|
|
584 | - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker. |
|
|
585 | - document that changing global variables without restoring them |
|
|
586 | is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein). |
|
|
587 | - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file. |
|
|
588 | |
|
|
589 | 4.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009 |
|
|
590 | - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could |
|
|
591 | deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the |
|
|
592 | read queue (which cna only happen with TLS). |
|
|
593 | - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors. |
|
|
594 | - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß). |
|
|
595 | - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl |
|
|
596 | backend. |
|
|
597 | - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl. |
|
|
598 | |
|
|
599 | 4.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009 |
|
|
600 | - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has |
|
|
601 | completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions, |
|
|
602 | so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works |
|
|
603 | (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe). |
|
|
604 | - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair. |
|
|
605 | - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists. |
|
|
606 | |
|
|
607 | 4.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008 |
|
|
608 | - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as |
|
|
609 | illegal. |
|
|
610 | - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend |
|
|
611 | by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle. |
|
|
612 | - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported |
|
|
613 | by Adam Rosenstein). |
|
|
614 | - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result |
|
|
615 | argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns). |
|
|
616 | - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained. |
|
|
617 | |
|
|
618 | 4.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008 |
|
|
619 | - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support |
|
|
620 | unix sockets again and choose a proper default for |
|
|
621 | the socket type. |
|
|
622 | - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect. |
|
|
623 | |
|
|
624 | 4.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008 |
|
|
625 | - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method. |
|
|
626 | - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode. |
|
|
627 | - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays |
|
|
628 | instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :) |
|
|
629 | - work around a perl argument refcounting bug. |
|
|
630 | - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free. |
|
|
631 | |
|
|
632 | 4.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008 |
|
|
633 | - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE, |
|
|
634 | unless one has been installed already. |
|
|
635 | - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough |
|
|
636 | (patch by Adam Rosenstein). |
|
|
637 | - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle. |
|
|
638 | - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the |
|
|
639 | client would first wait for some data by the server and |
|
|
640 | otherwise hang. (reported and analysed in an absolutely |
|
|
641 | exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein). |
|
|
642 | - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated |
|
|
643 | as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state. |
|
|
644 | (reported and analysed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam |
|
|
645 | Rosenstein). |
|
|
646 | - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context |
|
|
647 | would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) - |
|
|
648 | Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever. |
|
|
649 | - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode. |
|
|
650 | - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify |
|
|
651 | instead of simply destroying the stream now. |
|
|
652 | - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode |
|
|
653 | would not be sent unless triggered by receives. |
|
|
654 | - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account. |
|
|
655 | - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster |
|
|
656 | now, more to come, though. |
|
|
657 | - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there. |
|
|
658 | |
|
|
659 | 4.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008 |
|
|
660 | - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported, |
|
|
661 | no trace events. |
|
|
662 | - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle. |
|
|
663 | - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock |
|
|
664 | when available and the monotonic clock option is not. |
|
|
665 | - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not |
|
|
666 | provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have |
|
|
667 | Time::HiRes). |
|
|
668 | |
|
|
669 | 4.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008 |
|
|
670 | - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang. |
|
|
671 | - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments. |
|
|
672 | |
|
|
673 | 4.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008 |
|
|
674 | - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error |
|
|
675 | callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice |
|
|
676 | (testcase by Leon Brocard). |
|
|
677 | - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit. |
|
|
678 | |
|
|
679 | 4.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008 |
|
|
680 | - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call |
|
|
681 | (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows |
|
|
682 | perls without resource leaks or worse). |
|
|
683 | |
|
|
684 | 4.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008 |

|
|
688 | - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default |
|
|
689 | eol marker. |
|
|
690 | - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets. |
|
|
691 | - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set. |
|
|
692 | - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact. |
