9
107.02 Tue Aug 14 04:27:58 CEST 2012
11 - AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd could block indefinitely (analyzed and test
12 program by Yorhel).
13 - verified that AnyEvent::Socket follows RFC5952.
14 - try to parse "ADDR#PORT" in addition to "ADDR PORT".
15
167.01 Sun May 13 01:03:17 CEST 2012
17 - fail with EPROTO in AnyEvent::Handle wqhen TLS is requested but
18 not available, instead of throwing an exception.
19 - use File::Spec to get the tmpdir in t/*, to avoid needless
20 failures on (most, not mine :) windows boxes.
21 - new handle read types: tls_detect and tls_autostart.
22
237.0 Fri Apr 13 06:33:30 CEST 2012
24 - child watchers are broken in POE 1.352 (also many earlier
25 versions) and there seems to be no way to work around it, as POE
26 itself is inherently racy. Document this regression and add a delay
27 in t/68_poe_03_child.t for the time being.
28 - new module AnyEvent::IO, that is a frontend to either a pure-perl
29 synchronous I/O implementation (AnyEvent::IO::Perl), or to the
30 asynchronous I/O extension IO::AIO (AnyEvent::IO::IOAIO).
31 - load /etc/hosts only when DNS has no answer.
32 - stat /etc/hosts on every access and reload it if it changed.
33 - load /etc/hosts via AnyEvent::IO - potentially asynchronous.
34 - fix a buggy croak in the dh parameter reading in AnyEvent::TLS.
35 - AnyEvent::Log log_to_file and log_to_path now use AnyEvent::IO. As
36 a side effect, they now use true appending as opposed to libc
37 appending, and the file might not have been opened when the function
38 returns.
39 - the default logging level was not properly documented in a variety of
40 places, this has hopefully been rectified.
41 - updated uts46data.pl for unicode 6.1.0.
42 - made log messages generated by AnyEvent submodules not
43 include the package name anymore, as it will be logged
44 by default already.
45 - upgrade to the trick used by common-sense 3.5 to work
46 around extra warning torture/breakage under perl 5.15.x.
47 - log messages by anyevent are now ucfirst, are usually full
48 sentences and do no longer include the package name.
49 - the storable read type would sometimes throw an exception instead
50 of causing EBADMSG (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
51 - work around a bug in openssl 1.0.1 which enforces a minimum rsa
52 keysize (reported by Paul Howarth).
53 - documented Rocco fabricating statements about AnyEvent and me.
54
556.14 Tue Jan 31 20:00:24 CET 2012
56 - AnyEvent::Impl::Tk was broken due to a mysterious "die" inside,
57 probably an editing mistake (reported by Darin McBride).
58
596.13 Thu Jan 12 07:27:01 CET 2012
60 - AnyEvent::Util::fork_call checked for POSIX availability in the wrong way,
61 causing it to fail if POSIX wasn't loaded already (analysed by Rock Power).
62 - AnyEvent::Handle::push_read (line => did pass $1 directly, so
63 regex-matching inside the callback would change the parameter, despite
64 $1 being dynamically scoped per-block. this perl bug is now being
65 worked around (testcase by Cindy Wang).
66
676.12 Mon Dec 12 13:21:10 CET 2011
68 - $! was clobbered by subsequent calls in tcp_connect, due to
69 the postpone not saving/restoring it (analyzed by Richard Garnish).
70
716.11 Tue Nov 22 10:36:05 CET 2011
72 - Tk cannot create windows when tainted unless you set a title, so
73 set a dummy title for AnyEvent's dummy mainwindow. How dummy.
74 - escape any nonprintable/nonascii characters when stringifying
75 backtraces.
76 - log the reason loading an interface module fails to load at level debug.
77
786.1 Tue Oct 4 19:44:30 CEST 2011
79 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
80 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
81 to higher log levels to print by default.
82 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
83 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
84 how that module sucks.
85 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
86 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
87 of 127.0.0.1).
88 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
89 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
90 - AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to.
91 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
92 intervals.
93 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
94 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
95 which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
96 delivery.
97 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
98 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
99 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
100 of the context as title.
101 - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback
102 died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging...
103 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
104 to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
105 to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
106 attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
107 AnyEvent.
108
1096.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
110 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
111 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
112 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
113 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
114 to work around.
115 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
116
1176.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011
118 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
119 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
120 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
121 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
122 AnyEvent::Socket.
123 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
124 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
125 methods.
126 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
127 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
128 - DEPRECIATION: please change
129 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
130 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
131 in your programs, for future compatibility.
132 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
133 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
134 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
135 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
136 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
137 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
138 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
139 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
140 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
141 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
142 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
143 a debug shell.
144 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
145 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
146 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
147 /etc/hosts can be found.
148 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
149 configuration.
150 - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
151 PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
152 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
153 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications of $_ by the callback
154 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
155 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
156 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
157 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
158 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
159 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
160 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
161 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
162 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
163 supports /etc/hosts overrides.
164 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
165 and (newly introduced) in POE.
166 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
167 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
168 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
169 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
170 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
171 (reported by Gerald Galster).
172 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
173 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
174 do not support blocking waits.
175 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
176 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
177 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
178 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
179 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
180 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
181 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
182 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
183 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
184 - suppress the idiotic warning inside POE by patching the POE::Kernel
185 run flags instead of asking the user to jump through contortions.
186 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
187 - replace PF_UNSPEC by 0, for good old minix.
188
1896.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)
190
1915.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
192 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
193 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
194 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
195
1965.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
197 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
198 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
199 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
200 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
201 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
202 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
203 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
204 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
205 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
206 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
207 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
208 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
209 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
210
2115.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
212 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
213 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
214 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
215 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
216 documentation for caveats.
217 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
218 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
219 AnyEvent::Handle).
220 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
221 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
222
2235.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
224 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
225 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
226 the availabilty of a default loop!
227 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
228 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
229 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
230 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
231 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
232 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
233 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
234 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
235
2365.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
237 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
238 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
239 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
240 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
241 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
242 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
243 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
244 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
245 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
246 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
247 as part of the perl core.
248 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
249 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
250 minimal perl...).
251
2525.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
253 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
254 actually used in tcp_server.
255 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
256 missing.
257 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
258 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
259 resulting in more informative error messages.
260 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
261 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
262 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
263 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
264 of AnyEvent::TLS.
265 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
266 requested by Ron Isaacson.
267 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
268 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
269 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
270 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
271 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
272
2735.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
274 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
275
2765.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
277 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
278 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
279 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
280 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
281 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
282 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
283 - better/more condvar examples.
284
2855.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
286 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
287 time (found by Andy Grundman).
288
2895.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
290 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
291 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
292 by Bas Denissen).
293 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
294 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
295 EV and Perl backends.
296 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
297 backends.
298 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
299 never documented nor universally supported).
300 - some more memory µ-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
301 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
302
3035.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
304 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
305 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
306 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
307
3085.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
309 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
310 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
311 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
312 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
313 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
314 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
315 by lucky accident on win32.
316 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
317 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
318 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
319 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
320 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
321 detection and eval.
322 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
323 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
324 (same algorithm as EV).
325 - update unicode idna mapping table.
326
3275.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
328 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
329 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
330 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
331 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
332
3335.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
334 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
335 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
336 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
337 - provide $AE::VERSION.
338 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
339
3405.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
341 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
342 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
343 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
344 when passing scalar data to extensions).
345 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
346 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
347 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
348 (John Beppu).
349 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
350 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
351 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
352 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
353
3545.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
355 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
356 (spotted by David Friedland).
357 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
358 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
359 unless you rip out everything but the core).
360 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
361 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
362
3635.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
364 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
365 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
366 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
367 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
368 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
369
3705.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
371 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
372 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
373 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
374 (analysed by elmex).
375
3765.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
377 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
378 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
379 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
380 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
381 AnyEvent::Handle.
382 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
383 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
384 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
385 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
386
3875.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
388 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
389 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
390 by Michael S. Fischer).
391 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
392 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
393 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
394 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
395 by default.
396 - fix some prototypes.
397 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
398 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
399
4005.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
401 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
402 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
403 - port to broken win32 perls.
404
4055.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
406 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
407 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
408 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
409 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
410 OSes as well).
411
4125.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
413 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
414 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
415 to reduce dependency on JSON.
416
4175.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
418 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
419 one (was broken since 4.91).
420 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
421 when retrying a tcp_connect.
422 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
423 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
424
4255.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
426 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
427
4285.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
429 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
430 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
431 in AnyEvent::Handle.
432 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
433 settings.
434 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
435 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
436 exporting the probe function).
437 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
438 code to work around it's watcher limits.
439 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
440 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
441 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
442 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
443 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
444
4454.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
446 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
447 already contains some TLS handshake.
448 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
449 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
450 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
451 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
452 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
453
4544.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
455 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
456 a negative value, so avoid that.
457 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
458 after the condition is already signalled.
459 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
460 data.
461 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
462 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
463 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
464 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
465 any issues).
466 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
467 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
468 by name (not name or number).
469 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
470 only compiling signal code when necessary.
471 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
472 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
473 said future/alternative API.
474 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
475
4764.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
477 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
478 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
479 (analysed by elmex).
480
4814.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
482 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
483 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
484 for errors after every push_write etc.
485 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
486 platforms.
487
4884.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
489 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
490 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
491 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
492 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
493 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
494 tutorial accordingly.
495 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
496
4974.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
498 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
499 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
500 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
501 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
502 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
503 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
504 in IO::Async.
505
5064.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
507 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
508 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
509 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
510 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
511 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
512 documentation.
513 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
514 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
515 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
516 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
517 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
518 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
519
5204.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
521 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
522 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
523 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
524 this trap.
525 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
526 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
527 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
528 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
529 on_read callbacks.
530 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
531
5324.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
533 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
534 callbacks.
535 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
536 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
537 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
538 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
539 Event::Lib.
540 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
541 to rarely fail.
542
5434.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
544 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
545 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
546 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
547 in AnyEvent->io.
548 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
549 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
550 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
551 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
552 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
553 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
554 portable_socketpair.
555 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
556 YMMV.
557
5584.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
559 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
560 uppercase targets.
561 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
562 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
563 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
564 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
565 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
566 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
567 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
568 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
569 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
570 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
571 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
572 in the common case.
573 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
574 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
575 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
576 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
577 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
578 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
579 from the constructor.
580 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
581 then fall back to JSON.
582 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
583 and because it was documented that way.
584
5854.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
586 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
587 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
588
5894.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
590 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
591 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
592 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
593 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
594 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
595 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
596 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
597 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
598 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
599
6004.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
601 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
602 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
603 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
604 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
605 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
606
6074.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
5 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS 608 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
6 and set it on the default resolver. 609 and set it on the default resolver.
