3TODO: document TCP_*** constants
4TODO: add debug/trace logging to some modules
5
6 - escape any nonprintable/nonascii characters when stringifying
7 backtraces.
8
96.1 Tue Oct 4 19:44:30 CEST 2011
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 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
15 how that module sucks.
16 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
17 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
18 of 127.0.0.1).
19 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
20 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
21 - AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to.
22 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
23 intervals.
24 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
25 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
26 which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
27 delivery.
28 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
29 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
30 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
31 of the context as title.
32 - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback
33 died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging...
34 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
35 to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
36 to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
37 attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
38 AnyEvent.
39
406.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
41 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
42 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
43 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
44 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
45 to work around.
46 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
47
486.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011
49 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
50 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
51 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
52 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
53 AnyEvent::Socket.
54 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
55 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
56 methods.
57 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
58 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
59 - DEPRECIATION: please change
60 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
61 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
62 in your programs, for future compatibility.
63 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
64 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
65 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
66 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
67 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
68 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
69 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
70 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
71 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
72 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
73 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
74 a debug shell.
75 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
76 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
77 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
78 /etc/hosts can be found.
79 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
80 configuration.
81 - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
82 PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
83 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
84 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications $_ by the callback
85 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
86 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
87 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
88 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
89 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
90 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
91 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
92 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
93 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
94 supports /etc/hosts overrides.
95 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
96 and (newly introduced) in POE.
97 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
98 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
99 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
100 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
101 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
102 (reported by Gerald Galster).
103 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
104 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
105 do not support blocking waits.
106 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
107 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
108 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
109 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
110 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
111 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
112 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
113 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
114 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
115 - suppress the idiotic warning inside POE by patching the POE::Kernel
116 run flags instead of asking the user to jump through contortions.
117 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
118 - replace PF_UNSPEC by 0, for good old minix.
119
1206.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)
121
1225.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
123 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
124 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
125 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
126
1275.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
128 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
129 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
130 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
131 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
132 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
133 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
134 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
135 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
136 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
137 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
138 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
139 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
140 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
141
1425.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
143 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
144 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
145 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
146 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
147 documentation for caveats.
148 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
149 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
150 AnyEvent::Handle).
151 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
152 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
153
1545.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
155 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
156 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
157 the availabilty of a default loop!
158 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
159 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
160 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
161 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
162 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
163 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
164 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
165 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
166
1675.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
168 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
169 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
170 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
171 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
172 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
173 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
174 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
175 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
176 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
177 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
178 as part of the perl core.
179 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
180 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
181 minimal perl...).
182
1835.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
184 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
185 actually used in tcp_server.
186 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
187 missing.
188 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
189 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
190 resulting in more informative error messages.
191 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
192 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
193 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
194 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
195 of AnyEvent::TLS.
196 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
197 requested by Ron Isaacson.
198 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
199 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
200 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
201 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
202 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
203
2045.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
205 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
206
2075.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
208 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
209 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
210 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
211 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
212 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
213 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
214 - better/more condvar examples.
215
2165.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
217 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
218 time (found by Andy Grundman).
219
2205.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
221 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
222 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
223 by Bas Denissen).
224 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
225 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
226 EV and Perl backends.
227 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
228 backends.
229 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
230 never documented nor universally supported).
231 - some more memory µ-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
232 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
233
2345.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
235 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
236 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
237 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
238
2395.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
240 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
241 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
242 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
243 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
244 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
245 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
246 by lucky accident on win32.
247 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
248 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
249 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
250 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
251 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
252 detection and eval.
253 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
254 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
255 (same algorithm as EV).
256 - update unicode idna mapping table.
257
2585.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
259 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
260 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
261 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
262 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
263
2645.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
265 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
266 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
267 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
268 - provide $AE::VERSION.
269 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
270
2715.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
272 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
273 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
274 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
275 when passing scalar data to extensions).
276 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
277 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
278 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
279 (John Beppu).
280 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
281 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
282 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
283 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
284
2855.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
286 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
287 (spotted by David Friedland).
288 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
289 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
290 unless you rip out everything but the core).
291 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
292 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
293
2945.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
295 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
296 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
297 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
298 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
299 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
300
3015.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
302 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
303 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
304 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
305 (analysed by elmex).
306
3075.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
308 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
309 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
310 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
311 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
312 AnyEvent::Handle.
313 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
314 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
315 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
316 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
317
3185.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
319 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
320 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
321 by Michael S. Fischer).
322 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
323 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
324 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
325 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
326 by default.
327 - fix some prototypes.
328 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
329 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
330
3315.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
332 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
333 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
334 - port to broken win32 perls.
335
3365.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
337 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
338 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
339 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
340 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
341 OSes as well).
342
3435.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
344 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
345 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
346 to reduce dependency on JSON.
347
3485.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
349 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
350 one (was broken since 4.91).
351 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
352 when retrying a tcp_connect.
353 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
354 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
355
3565.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
357 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
358
3595.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
360 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
361 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
362 in AnyEvent::Handle.
363 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
364 settings.
365 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
366 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
367 exporting the probe function).
368 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
369 code to work around it's watcher limits.
370 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
371 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
372 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
373 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
374 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
375
3764.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
377 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
378 already contains some TLS handshake.
379 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
380 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
381 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
382 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
383 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
384
3854.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
386 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
387 a negative value, so avoid that.
388 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
389 after the condition is already signalled.
390 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
391 data.
392 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
393 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
394 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
395 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
396 any issues).
397 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
398 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
399 by name (not name or number).
400 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
401 only compiling signal code when necessary.
402 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
403 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
404 said future/alternative API.
405 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
406
4074.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
408 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
409 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
410 (analysed by elmex).
411
4124.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
413 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
414 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
415 for errors after every push_write etc.
416 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
417 platforms.
418
4194.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
420 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
421 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
422 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
423 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
424 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
425 tutorial accordingly.
426 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
427
4284.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
429 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
430 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
431 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
432 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
433 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
434 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
435 in IO::Async.
436
4374.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
438 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
439 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
440 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
441 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
442 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
443 documentation.
444 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
445 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
446 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
447 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
448 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
449 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
450
4514.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
452 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
453 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
454 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
455 this trap.
456 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
457 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
458 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
459 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
460 on_read callbacks.
461 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
462
4634.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
464 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
465 callbacks.
466 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
467 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
468 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
469 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
470 Event::Lib.
471 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
472 to rarely fail.
473
4744.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
475 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
476 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
477 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
478 in AnyEvent->io.
479 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
480 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
481 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
482 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
483 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
484 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
485 portable_socketpair.
486 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
487 YMMV.
488
4894.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
490 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
491 uppercase targets.
492 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
493 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
494 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
495 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
496 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
497 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
498 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
499 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
500 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
501 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
502 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
503 in the common case.
504 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
505 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
506 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
507 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
508 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
509 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
510 from the constructor.
511 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
512 then fall back to JSON.
513 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
514 and because it was documented that way.
515
5164.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
517 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
518 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
519
5204.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
521 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
522 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
523 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
524 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
525 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
526 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
527 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
528 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
529 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
530
5314.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
532 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
533 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
534 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
535 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
536 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
537
5384.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
539 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
540 and set it on the default resolver.
541 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
542 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
543 when running in tainted mode.
544 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
545
5464.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
547 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
548
5494.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
550 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
551 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
552 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
553 destructors.
554 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
555 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
556 implementation.
557 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
558 for cosmetic reasons.
559
5604.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
561 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
562 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
563 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
564 - sped up Tk timer handling.
565 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
566 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
567 - fix Qt timers without interval.
568 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
569
5704.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
571 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
572 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
573 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
574
5754.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
576 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
577 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
578 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
579 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
580
5814.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
582 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
583 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
584 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
585 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
586 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
587 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
588 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
589 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
590 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
591 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
592 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
593
5944.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
595 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
596 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
597 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
598 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
599 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
600 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
601 backend.
602 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
603
6044.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
605 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
606 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
607 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
608 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
609 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
610 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
611
6124.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
613 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
614 illegal.
615 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
616 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
617 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
618 by Adam Rosenstein).
619 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
620 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
621 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
622
6234.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
624 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
625 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
626 the socket type.
627 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
628
6294.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
630 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
631 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
632 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
633 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
634 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
635 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
636
6374.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
638 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
639 unless one has been installed already.
640 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
641 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
642 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle.
643 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
644 client would first wait for some data by the server and
645 otherwise hang. (reported and analysed in an absolutely
646 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
647 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
648 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
649 (reported and analysed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
650 Rosenstein).
651 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
652 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
653 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
654 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
655 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
656 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
657 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
658 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
659 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
660 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
661 now, more to come, though.
662 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
663
6644.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
665 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
666 no trace events.
667 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
668 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
669 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
670 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
671 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
672 Time::HiRes).
673
6744.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
675 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
676 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
677
6784.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
679 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
680 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
681 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
682 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
683
6844.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
685 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
686 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
687 perls without resource leaks or worse).
688
6894.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
690 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
691 the callback.
692 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
693 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
694 eol marker.
695 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
696 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
697 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
698
6994.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
700 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
701 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
702 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
703 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
704 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
705
7064.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
707 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
708 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
709 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
710 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
711 unusable way.
712 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
713 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
714 K. Sharifulin).
715
7164.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
717 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
718 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
719 be delayed under some circumstances.
720 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
721 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
722 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
723 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
724 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
725 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
726
7274.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
728 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
729 assumption that all data could be written before read
730 (reported by Jim Razmus).
731
7324.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
733 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
734 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
735 implementation (also affected child watchers).
736 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
737
7384.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
739 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
740 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
741 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
742
7434.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
744 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
745 works.
746
7474.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
748 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
749 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
750 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
751 for AnyEvent::Handle.
752 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
753 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
754
7554.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
756 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
757 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
758 executing the guard block as warnings.
759 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
760
7614.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
762 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
763 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
764 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
765 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
766 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
767 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
768 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
769 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
770 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
771 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
772 enter an endless loop.
773 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
774 busy again after idling.
775 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
776 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
777 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
778 (hopefully).
779 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
780 away any time.
781
7824.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
783 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
784 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
785 - allow more options in on_error.
786
7874.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
788 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
789 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
790 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
791 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
792 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
793 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
794 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
795 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
796 rfc 2782.
797 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
798 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
799 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
800 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
801 could die. this has been fixed.
802 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
803 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
804 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
805 for resolver class.
806 - update version numbers in all modules.
807
8084.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
809 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
810 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
811 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
812 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
813 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
814 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
815 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
816 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
817 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
818 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
3 - added a a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle. 819 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
820 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
4 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle. 821 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
5 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle. 822 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
823 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
824 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
825 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
826 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
827 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
828 but EV also works around this).
829 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
830 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
831 vs. callback arguments.
832 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
