87.01
9 - use File::Spec to get the tmpdir in t/*, to avoid needless
10 failures on (most, not mine :) windows boxes.
11
127.0 Fri Apr 13 06:33:30 CEST 2012
13 - child watchers are broken in POE 1.352 (also many earlier
14 versions) and there seems to be no way to work around it, as POE
15 itself is inherently racy. Document this regression and add a delay
16 in t/68_poe_03_child.t for the time being.
17 - new module AnyEvent::IO, that is a frontend to either a pure-perl
18 synchronous I/O implementation (AnyEvent::IO::Perl), or to the
19 asynchronous I/O extension IO::AIO (AnyEvent::IO::IOAIO).
20 - load /etc/hosts only when DNS has no answer.
21 - stat /etc/hosts on every access and reload it if it changed.
22 - load /etc/hosts via AnyEvent::IO - potentially asynchronous.
23 - fix a buggy croak in the dh parameter reading in AnyEvent::TLS.
24 - AnyEvent::Log log_to_file and log_to_path now use AnyEvent::IO. As
25 a side effect, they now use true appending as opposed to libc
26 appending, and the file might not have been opened when the function
27 returns.
28 - the default logging level was not properly documented in a variety of
29 places, this has hopefully been rectified.
30 - updated uts46data.pl for unicode 6.1.0.
31 - made log messages generated by AnyEvent submodules not
32 include the package name anymore, as it will be logged
33 by default already.
34 - upgrade to the trick used by common-sense 3.5 to work
35 around extra warning torture/breakage under perl 5.15.x.
36 - log messages by anyevent are now ucfirst, are usually full
37 sentences and do no longer include the package name.
38 - the storable read type would sometimes throw an exception instead
39 of causing EBADMSG (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
40 - work around a bug in openssl 1.0.1 which enforces a minimum rsa
41 keysize (reported by Paul Howarth).
42 - documented Rocco fabricating statements about AnyEvent and me.
43
446.14 Tue Jan 31 20:00:24 CET 2012
45 - AnyEvent::Impl::Tk was broken due to a mysterious "die" inside,
46 probably an editing mistake (reported by Darin McBride).
47
486.13 Thu Jan 12 07:27:01 CET 2012
49 - AnyEvent::Util::fork_call checked for POSIX availability in the wrong way,
50 causing it to fail if POSIX wasn't loaded already (analysed by Rock Power).
51 - AnyEvent::Handle::push_read (line => did pass $1 directly, so
52 regex-matching inside the callback would change the parameter, despite
53 $1 being dynamically scoped per-block. this perl bug is now being
54 worked around (testcase by Cindy Wang).
55
566.12 Mon Dec 12 13:21:10 CET 2011
57 - $! was clobbered by subsequent calls in tcp_connect, due to
58 the postpone not saving/restoring it (analyzed by Richard Garnish).
59
606.11 Tue Nov 22 10:36:05 CET 2011
61 - Tk cannot create windows when tainted unless you set a title, so
62 set a dummy title for AnyEvent's dummy mainwindow. How dummy.
63 - escape any nonprintable/nonascii characters when stringifying
64 backtraces.
65 - log the reason loading an interface module fails to load at level debug.
66
676.1 Tue Oct 4 19:44:30 CEST 2011
68 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
69 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
70 to higher log levels to print by default.
71 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
72 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
73 how that module sucks.
74 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
75 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
76 of 127.0.0.1).
77 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
78 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
79 - AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to.
80 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
81 intervals.
82 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
83 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
84 which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
85 delivery.
86 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
87 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
88 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
89 of the context as title.
90 - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback
91 died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging...
92 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
93 to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
94 to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
95 attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
96 AnyEvent.
97
986.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
99 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
100 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
101 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
102 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
103 to work around.
104 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
105
1066.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011
107 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
108 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
109 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
110 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
111 AnyEvent::Socket.
112 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
113 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
114 methods.
115 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
116 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
117 - DEPRECIATION: please change
118 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
119 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
120 in your programs, for future compatibility.
121 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
122 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
123 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
124 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
125 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
126 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
127 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
128 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
129 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
130 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
131 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
132 a debug shell.
133 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
134 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
135 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
136 /etc/hosts can be found.
137 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
138 configuration.
139 - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
140 PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
141 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
142 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications of $_ by the callback
143 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
144 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
145 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
146 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
147 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
148 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
149 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
150 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
151 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
152 supports /etc/hosts overrides.
153 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
154 and (newly introduced) in POE.
155 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
156 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
157 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
158 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
159 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
160 (reported by Gerald Galster).
161 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
162 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
163 do not support blocking waits.
164 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
165 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
166 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
167 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
168 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
169 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
170 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
171 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
172 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
173 - suppress the idiotic warning inside POE by patching the POE::Kernel
174 run flags instead of asking the user to jump through contortions.
175 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
176 - replace PF_UNSPEC by 0, for good old minix.
177
1786.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)
179
1805.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
181 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
182 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
183 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
184
1855.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
186 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
187 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
188 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
189 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
190 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
191 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
192 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
193 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
194 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
195 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
196 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
197 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
198 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
199
2005.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
201 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
202 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
203 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
204 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
205 documentation for caveats.
206 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
207 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
208 AnyEvent::Handle).
209 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
210 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
211
2125.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
213 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
214 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
215 the availabilty of a default loop!
216 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
217 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
218 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
219 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
220 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
221 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
222 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
223 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
224
2255.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
226 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
227 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
228 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
229 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
230 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
231 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
232 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
233 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
234 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
235 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
236 as part of the perl core.
237 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
238 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
239 minimal perl...).
240
2415.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
242 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
243 actually used in tcp_server.
244 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
245 missing.
246 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
247 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
248 resulting in more informative error messages.
249 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
250 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
251 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
252 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
253 of AnyEvent::TLS.
254 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
255 requested by Ron Isaacson.
256 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
257 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
258 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
259 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
260 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
261
2625.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
263 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
264
2655.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
266 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
267 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
268 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
269 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
270 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
271 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
272 - better/more condvar examples.
273
2745.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
275 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
276 time (found by Andy Grundman).
277
2785.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
279 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
280 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
281 by Bas Denissen).
282 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
283 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
284 EV and Perl backends.
285 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
286 backends.
287 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
288 never documented nor universally supported).
289 - some more memory µ-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
290 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
291
2925.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
293 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
294 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
295 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
296
2975.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
298 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
299 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
300 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
301 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
302 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
303 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
304 by lucky accident on win32.
305 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
306 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
307 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
308 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
309 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
310 detection and eval.
311 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
312 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
313 (same algorithm as EV).
314 - update unicode idna mapping table.
315
3165.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
317 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
318 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
319 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
320 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
321
3225.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
323 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
324 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
325 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
3 - provide $AE::VERSION. 326 - provide $AE::VERSION.
4 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'". 327 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
5 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep
6 and idn_to_ascii operations in AnyEvent::Util.
7 328
85.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009 3295.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
9 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to 330 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
10 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly. 331 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
