2 2
3 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
4
54.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
6 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
7 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
8 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
9 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
10 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
11 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
12
134.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
14 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
15 illegal.
16 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
17 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
18 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
19 by Adam Rosenstein).
20 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
21 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
22 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
23
244.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
25 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
26 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
27 the socket type.
28 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
29
304.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
31 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
32 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
33 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
34 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
35 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
36 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
37
384.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
39 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
40 unless one has been installed already.
41 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
42 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
43 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
44 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
45 client would first wait for some data by the server and
46 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
47 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
48 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
49 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
50 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
51 Rosenstein).
52 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
53 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
54 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
55 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
56 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
57 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
58 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
59 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
60 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
61 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
62 now, more to come, though.
63 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
64
654.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
66 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
67 no trace events.
68 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
69 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
70 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
71 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
72 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
73 Time::HiRes).
74
754.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
76 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
77 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
78
794.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
80 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
81 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
82 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
83 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
84
854.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
86 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
87 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
88 perls without resource leaks or worse).
89
904.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
91 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
92 the callback.
93 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
94 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
95 eol marker.
96 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
97 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
98 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
99
1004.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
101 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
102 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
103 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
104 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
105 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
106
1074.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
108 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
109 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
110 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
111 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
112 unusable way.
113 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
114 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
115 K. Sharifulin).
116
1174.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
118 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
119 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
120 be delayed under some circumstances.
121 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
122 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
123 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
124 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
125 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
126 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
127
1284.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
129 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
130 assumption that all data could be written before read
131 (reported by Jim Razmus).
132
1334.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
134 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
135 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
136 implementation (also affected child watchers).
137 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
138
1394.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
140 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
141 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
142 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
143
1444.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
145 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
146 works.
147
1484.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
149 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
150 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
151 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
152 for AnyEvent::Handle.
153 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
154 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
155
1564.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
157 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
158 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
159 executing the guard block as warnings.
160 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
161
1624.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
163 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
164 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
165 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
166 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
167 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
168 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
169 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
170 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
171 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
172 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
173 enter an endless loop.
174 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
175 busy again after idling.
176 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
177 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
178 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
179 (hopefully).
180 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
181 away any time.
182
1834.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
184 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
185 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
186 - allow more options in on_error.
187
1884.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
189 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
190 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
191 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
192 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
193 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
194 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
195 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
196 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
197 rfc 2782.
198 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
199 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
200 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
201 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
202 could die. this has been fixed.
203 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
204 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
205 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
206 for resolver class.
207 - update version numbers in all modules.
208
2094.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
210 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
211 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
212 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
213 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
214 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
215 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
216 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
217 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
218 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
219 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
220 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
221 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
222 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
223 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
224 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
225 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
226 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
227 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
228 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
229 but EV also works around this).
230 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
231 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
232 vs. callback arguments.
233 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
234
2354.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
236 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
237 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
238 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
239 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
240
2414.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
242 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
243 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
244 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
245 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
246 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
247 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
248 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
249 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
250 sake of perl 5.8.
251 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
252 (still a hack...)
253 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
254 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
255 die handlers.
256
2574.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
258 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
259 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
260 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
261 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
262 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
263 - updated documentation.
264 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
265 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
266 in AnyEvent::Handle.
267 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
268 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
269 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
270 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
271
2724.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
273 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
274 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
275 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
276 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
277 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
278 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
279 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
280 verbatim ip addresses.
281 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
282 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
283 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
284 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
285 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
286 become writable until empty.
287 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
288 returns ENOTCONN.
289 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
290 override.
291 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
292
2933.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
294 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
295 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
296 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
297 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
298 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
299 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
300 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
301 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
302 first and second argument.
303 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
304 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
305 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
306 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
307 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
308
3093.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
310 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
311
3123.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
313 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
314 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
315 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
316 (still subject to change).
317 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
318 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
319 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
320 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
321 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
322 via Coro::AnyEvent.
323
3243.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
325 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
326 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
327 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
328 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
329 the different event loops with each other.
330 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
331 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
3 - make Qt and Event::Lib support non-experimental. 332 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
333 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
334 kept alive.
335 - document the race between loading of an event module and
336 child processes exiting.
4 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic 337 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
5 enough). 338 enough, and darn slow).
6 - support Wx and Prima through POE. 339 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
340 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
341 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
342 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
343 faster than Event and Glib :).
344 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
345 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
346 to other event loops where possible.
7 347
83.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008 3483.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
9 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks 349 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
10 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered 350 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
11 for the same fh/poll combo). 351 for the same fh/poll combo).
