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 add a delay
14 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 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 - work around a bug in openssl 1.0.1 which enforces a minimum rsa
38 keysize (reported by Paul Howarth).
39 - documented Rocco fabricating statements about AnyEvent and me.

416.14 Tue Jan 31 20:00:24 CET 2012
42 - AnyEvent::Impl::Tk was broken due to a mysterious "die" inside,
43 probably an editing mistake (reported by Darin McBride).
44
456.13 Thu Jan 12 07:27:01 CET 2012
46 - AnyEvent::Util::fork_call checked for POSIX availability in the wrong way,
47 causing it to fail if POSIX wasn't loaded already (analysed by Rock Power).
48 - AnyEvent::Handle::push_read (line => did pass $1 directly, so
49 regex-matching inside the callback would change the parameter, despite
50 $1 being dynamically scoped per-block. this perl bug is now being
51 worked around (testcase by Cindy Wang).
52
536.12 Mon Dec 12 13:21:10 CET 2011
54 - $! was clobbered by subsequent calls in tcp_connect, due to
55 the postpone not saving/restoring it (analyzed by Richard Garnish).
56
576.11 Tue Nov 22 10:36:05 CET 2011
58 - Tk cannot create windows when tainted unless you set a title, so
59 set a dummy title for AnyEvent's dummy mainwindow. How dummy.
60 - escape any nonprintable/nonascii characters when stringifying
61 backtraces.
62 - log the reason loading an interface module fails to load at level debug.
63
646.1 Tue Oct 4 19:44:30 CEST 2011
65 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
66 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
67 to higher log levels to print by default.
68 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
69 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
70 how that module sucks.
71 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
72 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
73 of 127.0.0.1).
74 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
75 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
76 - AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to.
77 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
78 intervals.
79 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
80 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
81 which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
82 delivery.
83 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
84 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
85 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
86 of the context as title.
87 - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback
88 died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging...
89 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
90 to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
91 to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
92 attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
93 AnyEvent.
94
956.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
96 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
97 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
98 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
99 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
100 to work around.
101 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
102
1036.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011
104 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
105 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
106 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
107 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
108 AnyEvent::Socket.
109 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
110 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
111 methods.
112 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
113 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
114 - DEPRECIATION: please change
115 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
116 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
117 in your programs, for future compatibility.
118 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
119 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
120 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
121 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
122 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
123 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
124 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
125 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
126 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
127 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
128 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
129 a debug shell.
130 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
131 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
132 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
133 /etc/hosts can be found.
134 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
135 configuration.
136 - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
137 PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
138 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
139 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications of $_ by the callback
140 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
141 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
142 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
143 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
144 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
145 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
146 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
147 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
148 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
149 supports /etc/hosts overrides.
150 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
151 and (newly introduced) in POE.
152 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
153 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
154 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
155 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
156 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
157 (reported by Gerald Galster).
158 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
159 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
160 do not support blocking waits.
161 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
162 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
163 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
164 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
165 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
166 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
167 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
168 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
169 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
170 - suppress the idiotic warning inside POE by patching the POE::Kernel
171 run flags instead of asking the user to jump through contortions.
172 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
173 - replace PF_UNSPEC by 0, for good old minix.
174
1756.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)
176
1775.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
178 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
179 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
180 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
181
1825.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
183 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
184 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
185 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
186 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
187 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
188 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
189 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
190 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
191 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
192 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
193 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
194 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
195 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.

13 documentation for caveats. 202 documentation for caveats.
14 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set. 203 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
204 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
205 AnyEvent::Handle).
15 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method. 206 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
