16 - added cbor read and write types to AnyEvent::Handle (using CBOR::XS).
17 - calling AnyEvent->now_update with AnyEvent::Impl::Perl caused an
18 endless loop (reported by Dietrich Rebmann).
19 - add tlsv1_1 and tlsv1_2 protocols to AnyEvent::TLS
20 (patch by Maxime Soulé).
21 - force a toplevel domain name in t/81_hosts.t (analyzed by
22 David Jack Wange Olrik).
23 - document that AnyEvent::Log uses AnyEvent::IO.
24 - time for an =encoding directive.
25
267.05 Wed Aug 21 10:38:08 CEST 2013
27 - uts46data.pl couldn't be found due to wrong naming of the file
28 (reported by Fulko Hew).
29 - handle lone \015's properly in AE::Handle's default line read
30 (reported by various people).
31 - untaint ip addresses found in /etc/hosts (patch by José Micó).
32 - the memleak fix in 7.03 caused resolving via /etc/hosts to always
33 fail on first use (reported and testcase by Andrew Whatson).
34 - expose AnyEvent::Log::format_time, and allow users to redefine it.
35 - expose AnyEvent::Log::default_format, and allow redefinition.
36 - expose AnyEvent::Log::fatal_exit, to allow redefinition.
37 - AnyEvent::Debug shell can now run coro shell commands, if available.
38 - t/63* tests were wrongly in MANIFEST.
39 - kernel.org's finger server went MIA, switch to freebsd.org and
40 icculus.org.
41 - clarify that IO::AIO and AnyEvent::AIO are needed for AnyEvent::IO
42 to function asynchronously (reported by Daniel Carosone).
43 - hard-disable $^W in most tests, it generates too much garbage output.
44 - use a (hopefully) more future-proof method to emulate common::sense.
45 - upgrade to UTS-46:6.2.0.
46 - switch to INSTLIB from INSTLIBDIR, as INSTLIBDIR was wrongly
47 documented. should not affect anything.
48
497.04 Thu Nov 15 02:23:58 CET 2012
50 - debugging code left in.
51
527.03 Thu Nov 15 02:16:11 CET 2012
53 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton did not work when dns resolution was
54 used to find the addresses (analyzed and patch by Maxime Soulé).
55 - fix a memory leak in the /etc/hosts lookup code when hosts don't
56 resolve and are not in hosts (analyzed by sten).
57
587.02 Tue Aug 14 04:27:58 CEST 2012
59 - AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd could block indefinitely (analyzed and test
60 program by Yorhel).
61 - verified that AnyEvent::Socket follows RFC5952.
62 - try to parse "ADDR#PORT" in addition to "ADDR PORT".
63
647.01 Sun May 13 01:03:17 CEST 2012
65 - fail with EPROTO in AnyEvent::Handle wqhen TLS is requested but
66 not available, instead of throwing an exception.
67 - use File::Spec to get the tmpdir in t/*, to avoid needless
68 failures on (most, not mine :) windows boxes.
69 - new handle read types: tls_detect and tls_autostart.
70
717.0 Fri Apr 13 06:33:30 CEST 2012
72 - child watchers are broken in POE 1.352 (also many earlier
73 versions) and there seems to be no way to work around it, as POE
74 itself is inherently racy. Document this regression and add a delay
75 in t/68_poe_03_child.t for the time being.
76 - new module AnyEvent::IO, that is a frontend to either a pure-perl
77 synchronous I/O implementation (AnyEvent::IO::Perl), or to the
78 asynchronous I/O extension IO::AIO (AnyEvent::IO::IOAIO).
79 - load /etc/hosts only when DNS has no answer.
80 - stat /etc/hosts on every access and reload it if it changed.
81 - load /etc/hosts via AnyEvent::IO - potentially asynchronous.
82 - fix a buggy croak in the dh parameter reading in AnyEvent::TLS.
83 - AnyEvent::Log log_to_file and log_to_path now use AnyEvent::IO. As
84 a side effect, they now use true appending as opposed to libc
85 appending, and the file might not have been opened when the function
86 returns.
87 - the default logging level was not properly documented in a variety of
88 places, this has hopefully been rectified.
89 - updated uts46data.pl for unicode 6.1.0.
90 - made log messages generated by AnyEvent submodules not
91 include the package name anymore, as it will be logged
92 by default already.
93 - upgrade to the trick used by common-sense 3.5 to work
94 around extra warning torture/breakage under perl 5.15.x.
95 - log messages by anyevent are now ucfirst, are usually full
96 sentences and do no longer include the package name.
97 - the storable read type would sometimes throw an exception instead
98 of causing EBADMSG (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
99 - work around a bug in openssl 1.0.1 which enforces a minimum rsa
100 keysize (reported by Paul Howarth).
101 - documented Rocco fabricating statements about AnyEvent and me.
102
1036.14 Tue Jan 31 20:00:24 CET 2012
104 - AnyEvent::Impl::Tk was broken due to a mysterious "die" inside,
105 probably an editing mistake (reported by Darin McBride).
106
1076.13 Thu Jan 12 07:27:01 CET 2012
108 - AnyEvent::Util::fork_call checked for POSIX availability in the wrong way,
109 causing it to fail if POSIX wasn't loaded already (analysed by Rock Power).
110 - AnyEvent::Handle::push_read (line => did pass $1 directly, so
111 regex-matching inside the callback would change the parameter, despite
112 $1 being dynamically scoped per-block. this perl bug is now being
113 worked around (testcase by Cindy Wang).
114
1156.12 Mon Dec 12 13:21:10 CET 2011
116 - $! was clobbered by subsequent calls in tcp_connect, due to
117 the postpone not saving/restoring it (analyzed by Richard Garnish).
118
1196.11 Tue Nov 22 10:36:05 CET 2011
120 - Tk cannot create windows when tainted unless you set a title, so
121 set a dummy title for AnyEvent's dummy mainwindow. How dummy.
122 - escape any nonprintable/nonascii characters when stringifying
123 backtraces.
124 - log the reason loading an interface module fails to load at level debug.
125
1266.1 Tue Oct 4 19:44:30 CEST 2011
127 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
128 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
129 to higher log levels to print by default.
130 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
131 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
132 how that module sucks.
133 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
134 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
135 of 127.0.0.1).
136 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
137 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
138 - AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to.
139 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
140 intervals.
141 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
142 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
143 which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
144 delivery.
145 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
146 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
147 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
148 of the context as title.
149 - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback
150 died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging...
151 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
152 to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
153 to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
154 attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
155 AnyEvent.
156
1576.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
158 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
159 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
160 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
161 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
162 to work around.
163 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
164
1656.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011
166 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
167 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
168 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
169 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
170 AnyEvent::Socket.
171 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
172 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
173 methods.
174 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
175 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
176 - DEPRECIATION: please change
177 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
178 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
179 in your programs, for future compatibility.
180 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
181 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
182 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
183 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
184 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
185 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
186 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
187 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
188 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
189 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
190 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
191 a debug shell.
192 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
193 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
194 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
195 /etc/hosts can be found.
196 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
197 configuration.
198 - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
199 PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
200 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
201 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications of $_ by the callback
202 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
203 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
204 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
205 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
206 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
207 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
208 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
209 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
210 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
211 supports /etc/hosts overrides.
212 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
213 and (newly introduced) in POE.
214 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
215 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
216 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
217 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
218 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
219 (reported by Gerald Galster).
220 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
221 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
222 do not support blocking waits.
223 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
224 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
225 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
226 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
227 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
228 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
229 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
230 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
231 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
232 - suppress the idiotic warning inside POE by patching the POE::Kernel
233 run flags instead of asking the user to jump through contortions.
234 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
235 - replace PF_UNSPEC by 0, for good old minix.
236
2376.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)
238
2395.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
240 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
241 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
242 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
243
2445.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
245 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
246 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
247 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
248 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
249 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
250 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
251 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
252 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
253 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
254 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
255 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
256 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
257 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
258
2595.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
260 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
261 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
262 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
263 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
264 documentation for caveats.
265 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
266 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
267 AnyEvent::Handle).
268 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
269 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
270
2715.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
272 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
273 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
274 the availabilty of a default loop!
275 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
276 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
277 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
278 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
279 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
280 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
281 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
282 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
283
105.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010 2845.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
11 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too). 285 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
12 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add 286 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
13 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048. 287 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
14 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error. 288 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
