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

227 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
228 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
12 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans). 229 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
