106.2
11 - child watchers are broken in POE 1.352 (also many earlier
12 versions)and there seems to be no way to work around it, as POE
13 itself is inherently racy. Document this regression and sleep a
14 second in t/68_poe_03_child.t for the time being.
15 - new module AnyEvent::IO, that is a frontend to either a pure-perl
16 synchronous I/O implementation (AnyEvent::IO::Perl), or to the
17 asynchronous I/O extension IO::AIO (AnyEvent::IO::IOAIO).
18 - load /etc/hosts only when dns fails has no answer.
19 - stat /etc/hosts on every access and reload it if it changed.
20 - load /etc/hosts via AnyEvent::IO - potentially asynchronous.
21 - AnyEvent::Log log_to_file and log_to_path now use AnyEvent::IO. As
22 a side effect, they now use true appending as opposed to libc
23 appending, and the file might not have been opened when the function
24 returns.
25 - the default logging level was not properly documented in a variety of
26 places, this has hopefully been rectified.
27 - updated uts46data.pl for unicode 6.1.0.
28 - made log messages genearted by AnyEvent submodules not
29 include the package name anymore, as it will be logged
30 by default already.
31 - upgrade to the trick used by common-sense 3.5 to work
32 around extra warning torture/breakage under perl 5.15.x.
33 - log messages by anyevent are now ucfirst, are usually full
34 sentences and do no longer include the package name.
35 - the storable read type would sometimes throw an exception instead
36 of causing EBADMSG (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
37 - documented Rocco fabricating statements about AnyEvent and me.
38
396.14 Tue Jan 31 20:00:24 CET 2012
40 - AnyEvent::Impl::Tk was broken due to a mysterious "die" inside,
41 probably an editing mistake (reported by Darin McBride).
42
436.13 Thu Jan 12 07:27:01 CET 2012
44 - AnyEvent::Util::fork_call checked for POSIX availability in the wrong way,
45 causing it to fail if POSIX wasn't loaded already (analysed by Rock Power).
46 - AnyEvent::Handle::push_read (line => did pass $1 directly, so
47 regex-matching inside the callback would change the parameter, despite
48 $1 being dynamically scoped per-block. this perl bug is now being
49 worked around (testcase by Cindy Wang).
50
516.12 Mon Dec 12 13:21:10 CET 2011
52 - $! was clobbered by subsequent calls in tcp_connect, due to
53 the postpone not saving/restoring it (analyzed by Richard Garnish).
54
556.11 Tue Nov 22 10:36:05 CET 2011
56 - Tk cannot create windows when tainted unless you set a title, so
57 set a dummy title for AnyEvent's dummy mainwindow. How dummy.
58 - escape any nonprintable/nonascii characters when stringifying
59 backtraces.
60 - log the reason loading an interface module fails to load at level debug.
61
626.1 Tue Oct 4 19:44:30 CEST 2011
63 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
64 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
65 to higher log levels to print by default.
66 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
67 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
68 how that module sucks.
69 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
70 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
71 of 127.0.0.1).
72 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
73 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
74 - AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to.
75 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
76 intervals.
77 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
78 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
79 which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
80 delivery.
81 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
82 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
83 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
84 of the context as title.
85 - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback
86 died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging...
87 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
88 to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
89 to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
90 attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
91 AnyEvent.
92
936.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
94 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
95 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
96 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
97 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
98 to work around.
99 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
100
1016.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011
102 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
103 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
104 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
105 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
106 AnyEvent::Socket.
107 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
108 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
109 methods.
110 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
111 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
112 - DEPRECIATION: please change
113 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
114 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
115 in your programs, for future compatibility.
116 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
117 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
118 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
119 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
120 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
121 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
122 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
123 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
124 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
125 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
126 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
127 a debug shell.
128 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
129 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
130 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
131 /etc/hosts can be found.
132 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
133 configuration.
134 - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
135 PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
136 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
137 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications of $_ by the callback
138 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
139 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
140 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
141 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
142 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
143 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
144 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
145 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
146 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
147 supports /etc/hosts overrides.
148 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
149 and (newly introduced) in POE.
150 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
151 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
152 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
153 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
154 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
155 (reported by Gerald Galster).
156 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
157 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
158 do not support blocking waits.
159 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
160 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
161 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
162 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
163 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
164 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
165 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
166 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
167 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
168 - suppress the idiotic warning inside POE by patching the POE::Kernel
169 run flags instead of asking the user to jump through contortions.
170 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
171 - replace PF_UNSPEC by 0, for good old minix.
172
1736.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)
174
1755.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
176 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
177 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
178 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
179
1805.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
181 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
182 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
183 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
184 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
185 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
186 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
187 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
188 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
189 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
190 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
191 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
192 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
193 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
194
1955.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
196 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
197 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
198 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
199 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
200 documentation for caveats.
201 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
202 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
203 AnyEvent::Handle).
204 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
205 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
206
2075.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
208 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
209 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
210 the availabilty of a default loop!
211 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
212 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
213 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
214 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
215 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
216 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
217 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
218 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
219
2205.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
221 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
222 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
223 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
224 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
225 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
226 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
227 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
228 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
229 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
230 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
231 as part of the perl core.
232 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
233 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
234 minimal perl...).
235
2365.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
237 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
238 actually used in tcp_server.
239 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
240 missing.
241 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
242 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
243 resulting in more informative error messages.
244 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
245 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
246 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
247 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
248 of AnyEvent::TLS.
249 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
250 requested by Ron Isaacson.
251 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
252 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
253 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
254 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
255 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
256
2575.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
258 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
259
2605.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
261 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
262 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
263 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
264 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
265 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
266 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
267 - better/more condvar examples.
268
2695.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
270 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
271 time (found by Andy Grundman).
272
2735.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
274 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
275 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
276 by Bas Denissen).
277 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
278 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
279 EV and Perl backends.
280 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
281 backends.
282 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
283 never documented nor universally supported).
284 - some more memory µ-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
285 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
286
2875.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
288 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
289 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
290 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
