9TODO: Kevin Ryde (3.8K) 1 inbox Glib child processes 8 - the default logging level was not properly documented in a variety of
10 - add support for (currently third-party) AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK. 9 places, this has hopefully been rectified.
10 - updated uts46data.pl for unicode 6.1.0.
11 - made log messages genearted by AnyEvent submodules not
12 include the package name anymore, as it will be logged
13 by default already.
14 - upgrade to the trick used by common-sense 3.5 to work
15 around extra warning torture/breakage under perl 5.15.x.

176.14 Tue Jan 31 20:00:24 CET 2012
18 - AnyEvent::Impl::Tk was broken due to a mysterious "die" inside,
19 probably an editing mistake (reported by Darin McBride).
20
216.13 Thu Jan 12 07:27:01 CET 2012
22 - AnyEvent::Util::fork_call checked for POSIX availability in the wrong way,
23 causing it to fail if POSIX wasn't loaded already (analysed by Rock Power).
24 - AnyEvent::Handle::push_read (line => did pass $1 directly, so
25 regex-matching inside the callback would change the parameter, despite
26 $1 being dynamically scoped per-block. this perl bug is now being
27 worked around (testcase by Cindy Wang).
28
296.12 Mon Dec 12 13:21:10 CET 2011
30 - $! was clobbered by subsequent calls in tcp_connect, due to
31 the postpone not saving/restoring it (analyzed by Richard Garnish).
32
336.11 Tue Nov 22 10:36:05 CET 2011
34 - Tk cannot create windows when tainted unless you set a title, so
35 set a dummy title for AnyEvent's dummy mainwindow. How dummy.
36 - escape any nonprintable/nonascii characters when stringifying
37 backtraces.
38 - log the reason loading an interface module fails to load at level debug.
39
406.1 Tue Oct 4 19:44:30 CEST 2011
41 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
42 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
43 to higher log levels to print by default.
44 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
45 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
46 how that module sucks.
47 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
48 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
49 of 127.0.0.1).
50 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
51 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
52 - AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to.
53 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
54 intervals.
55 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
56 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
57 which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
58 delivery.
59 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
60 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
61 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
62 of the context as title.
63 - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback
64 died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging...
65 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
66 to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
67 to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
68 attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
69 AnyEvent.
70
716.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
72 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
73 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
74 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
75 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
76 to work around.
77 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
78
796.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011
80 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
81 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
82 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
83 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
84 AnyEvent::Socket.
85 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
86 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
87 methods.
88 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
89 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
90 - DEPRECIATION: please change
91 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
92 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
93 in your programs, for future compatibility.
94 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
95 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
96 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
97 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
98 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
99 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
100 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
101 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
102 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
103 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
104 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
105 a debug shell.
106 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
107 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
108 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
109 /etc/hosts can be found.
110 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
111 configuration.
112 - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
113 PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
114 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
115 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications $_ by the callback
116 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
117 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
118 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
119 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
120 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
121 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
122 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
123 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
124 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
125 supports /etc/hosts overrides.
126 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
127 and (newly introduced) in POE.
128 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
129 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
130 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
11 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during 131 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
12 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}". 132 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
13 (reported by Gerald Galster). 133 (reported by Gerald Galster).
134 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
135 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
136 do not support blocking waits.
137 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
138 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
139 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
140 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
141 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
142 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
143 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
144 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
145 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
146 - suppress the idiotic warning inside POE by patching the POE::Kernel
147 run flags instead of asking the user to jump through contortions.
148 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
149 - replace PF_UNSPEC by 0, for good old minix.

1516.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)

155.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011 1535.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
16 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time, 154 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
17 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti). 155 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
18 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly. 156 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
