10 | 7.02 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 | |
|
|
16 | 7.01 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 | |
|
|
23 | 7.0 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 | |
|
|
55 | 6.14 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 | |
|
|
59 | 6.13 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 | |
|
|
67 | 6.12 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 | |
|
|
71 | 6.11 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 | |
|
|
78 | 6.1 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 $_ when a callback |
|
|
102 | died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging... |
|
|
103 | - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse |
|
|
104 | to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses |
|
|
105 | to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively |
|
|
106 | attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use |
|
|
107 | AnyEvent. |
|
|
108 | |
|
|
109 | 6.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011 |
|
|
110 | - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings. |
|
|
111 | - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$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 | |
|
|
117 | 6.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011 |
9 | - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include |
118 | - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include |
10 | the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve directly, |
119 | the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request |
11 | and ->request and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions |
120 | and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as |
12 | such as AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected. |
121 | AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is |
|
|
122 | AnyEvent::Socket. |
13 | - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement |
123 | - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement |
14 | one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait method. |
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). |
15 | - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could |

171 | (reported by Gerald Galster). |
26 | - resolve AnyEvent::Util::guard at first-use-time, not at load time, |
|
|
27 | for further speed and memory savings when not used. |
|
|
28 | - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable |

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. |
