8TODO: Kevin Ryde (3.8K) 1 inbox Glib child processes 12 - the documentation for custom tls verify schemes was wrong. make it agree
13 with the code (reported by Maxime Soulé).
14 - added cbor read and write types to AnyEvent::Handle (using CBOR::XS).
15 - work around an API change in openssl that could cause wrong tls connection
16 aborts, likely on windows only (analyzed by sten).
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 - document AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync::set_loop and
22 $AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync::LOOP. Though only documented now, this
23 functionality has _always_ been available.
24 - force a toplevel domain name in t/81_hosts.t (analyzed by
25 David Jack Wange Olrik).
26 - document that AnyEvent::Log uses AnyEvent::IO.
27 - warn about AnyEvent::Filesys::Notify performance.
28 - praise the joys of AnyEvent::Fork::*.
29 - time for an =encoding directive.
30 - do no longer use JSON to create a default json coder, use
31 JSON::XS or JSON::PP directly.
32
337.05 Wed Aug 21 10:38:08 CEST 2013
34 - uts46data.pl couldn't be found due to wrong naming of the file
35 (reported by Fulko Hew).
36 - handle lone \015's properly in AE::Handle's default line read
37 (reported by various people).
38 - untaint ip addresses found in /etc/hosts (patch by José Micó).
39 - the memleak fix in 7.03 caused resolving via /etc/hosts to always
40 fail on first use (reported and testcase by Andrew Whatson).
41 - expose AnyEvent::Log::format_time, and allow users to redefine it.
42 - expose AnyEvent::Log::default_format, and allow redefinition.
43 - expose AnyEvent::Log::fatal_exit, to allow redefinition.
44 - AnyEvent::Debug shell can now run coro shell commands, if available.
45 - t/63* tests were wrongly in MANIFEST.
46 - kernel.org's finger server went MIA, switch to freebsd.org and
47 icculus.org.
48 - clarify that IO::AIO and AnyEvent::AIO are needed for AnyEvent::IO
49 to function asynchronously (reported by Daniel Carosone).
50 - hard-disable $^W in most tests, it generates too much garbage output.
51 - use a (hopefully) more future-proof method to emulate common::sense.
52 - upgrade to UTS-46:6.2.0.
53 - switch to INSTLIB from INSTLIBDIR, as INSTLIBDIR was wrongly
54 documented. should not affect anything.
55
567.04 Thu Nov 15 02:23:58 CET 2012
57 - debugging code left in.
58
597.03 Thu Nov 15 02:16:11 CET 2012
60 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton did not work when dns resolution was
61 used to find the addresses (analyzed and patch by Maxime Soulé).
62 - fix a memory leak in the /etc/hosts lookup code when hosts don't
63 resolve and are not in hosts (analyzed by sten).
64
657.02 Tue Aug 14 04:27:58 CEST 2012
66 - AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd could block indefinitely (analyzed and test
67 program by Yorhel).
68 - verified that AnyEvent::Socket follows RFC5952.
69 - try to parse "ADDR#PORT" in addition to "ADDR PORT".
70
717.01 Sun May 13 01:03:17 CEST 2012
72 - fail with EPROTO in AnyEvent::Handle wqhen TLS is requested but
73 not available, instead of throwing an exception.
74 - use File::Spec to get the tmpdir in t/*, to avoid needless
75 failures on (most, not mine :) windows boxes.
76 - new handle read types: tls_detect and tls_autostart.
77
787.0 Fri Apr 13 06:33:30 CEST 2012
79 - child watchers are broken in POE 1.352 (also many earlier
80 versions) and there seems to be no way to work around it, as POE
81 itself is inherently racy. Document this regression and add a delay
82 in t/68_poe_03_child.t for the time being.
83 - new module AnyEvent::IO, that is a frontend to either a pure-perl
84 synchronous I/O implementation (AnyEvent::IO::Perl), or to the
85 asynchronous I/O extension IO::AIO (AnyEvent::IO::IOAIO).
86 - load /etc/hosts only when DNS has no answer.
87 - stat /etc/hosts on every access and reload it if it changed.
88 - load /etc/hosts via AnyEvent::IO - potentially asynchronous.
89 - fix a buggy croak in the dh parameter reading in AnyEvent::TLS.
90 - AnyEvent::Log log_to_file and log_to_path now use AnyEvent::IO. As
91 a side effect, they now use true appending as opposed to libc
92 appending, and the file might not have been opened when the function
93 returns.
94 - the default logging level was not properly documented in a variety of
95 places, this has hopefully been rectified.
96 - updated uts46data.pl for unicode 6.1.0.
97 - made log messages generated by AnyEvent submodules not
98 include the package name anymore, as it will be logged
99 by default already.
100 - upgrade to the trick used by common-sense 3.5 to work
101 around extra warning torture/breakage under perl 5.15.x.
102 - log messages by anyevent are now ucfirst, are usually full
103 sentences and do no longer include the package name.
104 - the storable read type would sometimes throw an exception instead
105 of causing EBADMSG (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
106 - work around a bug in openssl 1.0.1 which enforces a minimum rsa
107 keysize (reported by Paul Howarth).
108 - documented Rocco fabricating statements about AnyEvent and me.
109
1106.14 Tue Jan 31 20:00:24 CET 2012
111 - AnyEvent::Impl::Tk was broken due to a mysterious "die" inside,
112 probably an editing mistake (reported by Darin McBride).
113
1146.13 Thu Jan 12 07:27:01 CET 2012
115 - AnyEvent::Util::fork_call checked for POSIX availability in the wrong way,
116 causing it to fail if POSIX wasn't loaded already (analysed by Rock Power).
117 - AnyEvent::Handle::push_read (line => did pass $1 directly, so
118 regex-matching inside the callback would change the parameter, despite
119 $1 being dynamically scoped per-block. this perl bug is now being
120 worked around (testcase by Cindy Wang).
121
1226.12 Mon Dec 12 13:21:10 CET 2011
123 - $! was clobbered by subsequent calls in tcp_connect, due to
124 the postpone not saving/restoring it (analyzed by Richard Garnish).
125
1266.11 Tue Nov 22 10:36:05 CET 2011
127 - Tk cannot create windows when tainted unless you set a title, so
128 set a dummy title for AnyEvent's dummy mainwindow. How dummy.
129 - escape any nonprintable/nonascii characters when stringifying
130 backtraces.
131 - log the reason loading an interface module fails to load at level debug.
132
1336.1 Tue Oct 4 19:44:30 CEST 2011
134 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
135 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
136 to higher log levels to print by default.
137 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
138 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
139 how that module sucks.
140 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
141 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
142 of 127.0.0.1).
143 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
144 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
145 - AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to.
146 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
147 intervals.
148 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
149 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
150 which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
151 delivery.
152 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
153 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
154 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
155 of the context as title.
156 - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback
157 died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging...
158 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
159 to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
160 to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
161 attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
162 AnyEvent.
163
1646.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
165 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
166 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
167 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
168 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
169 to work around.
170 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
171
1726.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011
9 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include 173 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
10 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve directly, 174 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
11 and ->request and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions 175 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
12 such as AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected. 176 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
13 - add support for (currently third-party) AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK. 177 AnyEvent::Socket.
178 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
179 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
180 methods.
181 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
182 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
183 - DEPRECIATION: please change
184 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
185 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
186 in your programs, for future compatibility.
187 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
188 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
189 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
190 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
191 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
192 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
193 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
194 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
195 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
196 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
197 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
198 a debug shell.
199 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
200 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
201 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
202 /etc/hosts can be found.
203 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
204 configuration.
205 - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
206 PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
207 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
208 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications of $_ by the callback
209 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
210 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
211 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
212 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
213 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
214 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
215 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
216 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
217 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
218 supports /etc/hosts overrides.
219 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
220 and (newly introduced) in POE.
221 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
222 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
223 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
14 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during 224 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
15 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}". 225 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
16 (reported by Gerald Galster). 226 (reported by Gerald Galster).
227 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
228 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
229 do not support blocking waits.
230 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
231 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
232 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
233 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
234 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
235 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
236 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
237 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
238 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
239 - suppress the idiotic warning inside POE by patching the POE::Kernel
240 run flags instead of asking the user to jump through contortions.
241 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
242 - replace PF_UNSPEC by 0, for good old minix.
243
2446.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)

185.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011 2465.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
19 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time, 247 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
20 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti). 248 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
21 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly. 249 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
