16
17 - work around a newly introduced bug in Socket 2.011 (an
18 errornous sun_length check) (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
19
207.07 Tue Dec 17 17:45:02 CET 2013
21 - the documentation for custom tls verify schemes was wrong. make it agree
22 with the code (reported by Maxime Soulé).
23 - added cbor read and write types to AnyEvent::Handle (using CBOR::XS).
24 - work around an API change in openssl that could cause wrong tls connection
25 aborts, likely on windows only (analyzed by sten).
26 - calling AnyEvent->now_update with AnyEvent::Impl::Perl caused an
27 endless loop (reported by Dietrich Rebmann).
28 - add tlsv1_1 and tlsv1_2 protocols to AnyEvent::TLS
29 (patch by Maxime Soulé).
30 - document AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync::set_loop and
31 $AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync::LOOP. Though only documented now, this
32 functionality has _always_ been available.
33 - force a toplevel domain name in t/81_hosts.t (analyzed by
34 David Jack Wange Olrik).
35 - document that AnyEvent::Log uses AnyEvent::IO.
36 - warn about AnyEvent::Filesys::Notify performance.
37 - praise the joys of AnyEvent::Fork::*.
38 - time for an =encoding directive.
39 - do no longer use JSON to create a default json coder, use
40 JSON::XS or JSON::PP directly.
41
427.05 Wed Aug 21 10:38:08 CEST 2013
43 - uts46data.pl couldn't be found due to wrong naming of the file
44 (reported by Fulko Hew).
45 - handle lone \015's properly in AE::Handle's default line read
46 (reported by various people).
47 - untaint ip addresses found in /etc/hosts (patch by José Micó).
48 - the memleak fix in 7.03 caused resolving via /etc/hosts to always
49 fail on first use (reported and testcase by Andrew Whatson).
50 - expose AnyEvent::Log::format_time, and allow users to redefine it.
51 - expose AnyEvent::Log::default_format, and allow redefinition.
52 - expose AnyEvent::Log::fatal_exit, to allow redefinition.
53 - AnyEvent::Debug shell can now run coro shell commands, if available.
54 - t/63* tests were wrongly in MANIFEST.
55 - kernel.org's finger server went MIA, switch to freebsd.org and
56 icculus.org.
57 - clarify that IO::AIO and AnyEvent::AIO are needed for AnyEvent::IO
58 to function asynchronously (reported by Daniel Carosone).
59 - hard-disable $^W in most tests, it generates too much garbage output.
60 - use a (hopefully) more future-proof method to emulate common::sense.
61 - upgrade to UTS-46:6.2.0.
62 - switch to INSTLIB from INSTLIBDIR, as INSTLIBDIR was wrongly
63 documented. should not affect anything.
64
657.04 Thu Nov 15 02:23:58 CET 2012
66 - debugging code left in.
67
687.03 Thu Nov 15 02:16:11 CET 2012
69 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton did not work when dns resolution was
70 used to find the addresses (analyzed and patch by Maxime Soulé).
71 - fix a memory leak in the /etc/hosts lookup code when hosts don't
72 resolve and are not in hosts (analyzed by sten).
73
747.02 Tue Aug 14 04:27:58 CEST 2012
75 - AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd could block indefinitely (analyzed and test
76 program by Yorhel).
77 - verified that AnyEvent::Socket follows RFC5952.
78 - try to parse "ADDR#PORT" in addition to "ADDR PORT".
79
807.01 Sun May 13 01:03:17 CEST 2012
81 - fail with EPROTO in AnyEvent::Handle wqhen TLS is requested but
82 not available, instead of throwing an exception.
83 - use File::Spec to get the tmpdir in t/*, to avoid needless
84 failures on (most, not mine :) windows boxes.
85 - new handle read types: tls_detect and tls_autostart.
86
877.0 Fri Apr 13 06:33:30 CEST 2012
88 - child watchers are broken in POE 1.352 (also many earlier
89 versions) and there seems to be no way to work around it, as POE
90 itself is inherently racy. Document this regression and add a delay
91 in t/68_poe_03_child.t for the time being.
92 - new module AnyEvent::IO, that is a frontend to either a pure-perl
93 synchronous I/O implementation (AnyEvent::IO::Perl), or to the
94 asynchronous I/O extension IO::AIO (AnyEvent::IO::IOAIO).
95 - load /etc/hosts only when DNS has no answer.
96 - stat /etc/hosts on every access and reload it if it changed.
97 - load /etc/hosts via AnyEvent::IO - potentially asynchronous.
98 - fix a buggy croak in the dh parameter reading in AnyEvent::TLS.
99 - AnyEvent::Log log_to_file and log_to_path now use AnyEvent::IO. As
100 a side effect, they now use true appending as opposed to libc
101 appending, and the file might not have been opened when the function
102 returns.
103 - the default logging level was not properly documented in a variety of
104 places, this has hopefully been rectified.
105 - updated uts46data.pl for unicode 6.1.0.
106 - made log messages generated by AnyEvent submodules not
107 include the package name anymore, as it will be logged
108 by default already.
109 - upgrade to the trick used by common-sense 3.5 to work
110 around extra warning torture/breakage under perl 5.15.x.
111 - log messages by anyevent are now ucfirst, are usually full
112 sentences and do no longer include the package name.
113 - the storable read type would sometimes throw an exception instead
114 of causing EBADMSG (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
115 - work around a bug in openssl 1.0.1 which enforces a minimum rsa
116 keysize (reported by Paul Howarth).
117 - documented Rocco fabricating statements about AnyEvent and me.
118
1196.14 Tue Jan 31 20:00:24 CET 2012
120 - AnyEvent::Impl::Tk was broken due to a mysterious "die" inside,
121 probably an editing mistake (reported by Darin McBride).
122
1236.13 Thu Jan 12 07:27:01 CET 2012
124 - AnyEvent::Util::fork_call checked for POSIX availability in the wrong way,
125 causing it to fail if POSIX wasn't loaded already (analysed by Rock Power).
126 - AnyEvent::Handle::push_read (line => did pass $1 directly, so
127 regex-matching inside the callback would change the parameter, despite
128 $1 being dynamically scoped per-block. this perl bug is now being
129 worked around (testcase by Cindy Wang).
130
1316.12 Mon Dec 12 13:21:10 CET 2011
132 - $! was clobbered by subsequent calls in tcp_connect, due to
133 the postpone not saving/restoring it (analyzed by Richard Garnish).
134
1356.11 Tue Nov 22 10:36:05 CET 2011
136 - Tk cannot create windows when tainted unless you set a title, so
137 set a dummy title for AnyEvent's dummy mainwindow. How dummy.
138 - escape any nonprintable/nonascii characters when stringifying
139 backtraces.
140 - log the reason loading an interface module fails to load at level debug.
141
1426.1 Tue Oct 4 19:44:30 CEST 2011
143 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
144 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
145 to higher log levels to print by default.
146 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
147 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
148 how that module sucks.
149 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
150 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
151 of 127.0.0.1).
152 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
153 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
154 - AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to.
155 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
156 intervals.
157 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
158 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
159 which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
160 delivery.
161 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
162 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
163 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
164 of the context as title.
165 - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback
166 died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging...
167 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
168 to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
169 to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
170 attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
171 AnyEvent.
172
1736.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
174 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
175 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
176 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
177 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
178 to work around.
179 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
180
1816.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011
182 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
183 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
184 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
185 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
186 AnyEvent::Socket.
187 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
188 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
189 methods.
190 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
191 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
192 - DEPRECIATION: please change
193 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
194 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
195 in your programs, for future compatibility.
196 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
197 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
198 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
199 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
200 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
201 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
202 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
203 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
204 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
205 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
206 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
207 a debug shell.
208 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
209 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
210 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
211 /etc/hosts can be found.
212 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
213 configuration.
214 - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
215 PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
216 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
217 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications of $_ by the callback
218 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
219 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
220 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
221 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
222 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
223 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
224 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
225 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
226 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
227 supports /etc/hosts overrides.
228 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
229 and (newly introduced) in POE.
230 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
231 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
232 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
233 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
234 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
235 (reported by Gerald Galster).
236 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
237 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
238 do not support blocking waits.
239 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
240 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
241 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
242 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
243 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
244 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
245 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
246 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
247 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
248 - suppress the idiotic warning inside POE by patching the POE::Kernel
249 run flags instead of asking the user to jump through contortions.
250 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
251 - replace PF_UNSPEC by 0, for good old minix.
252
2536.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)
254
2555.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
256 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
257 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
258 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
259
2605.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
261 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
262 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
263 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
264 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
265 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
266 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
267 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
268 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
269 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
270 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
271 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
272 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
273 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
274
2755.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
276 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
277 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
278 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
279 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
280 documentation for caveats.
281 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
282 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
283 AnyEvent::Handle).
284 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
285 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
286
2875.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
288 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
289 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
290 the availabilty of a default loop!
291 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
292 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
293 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
294 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
295 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
296 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
297 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
298 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
299
3005.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
301 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
302 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
303 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
304 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
305 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
306 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
307 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
308 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
309 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
310 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
311 as part of the perl core.
312 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
313 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
314 minimal perl...).
315
3165.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
317 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
318 actually used in tcp_server.
319 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
320 missing.
321 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
322 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
323 resulting in more informative error messages.
324 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
325 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
326 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
327 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
328 of AnyEvent::TLS.
329 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
330 requested by Ron Isaacson.
331 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
332 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
333 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
334 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
335 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
336
3375.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
338 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
339
3405.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
341 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
342 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
343 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
344 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
345 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
5 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section. 346 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
6 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many 347 - better/more condvar examples.
7 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working
8 (see the horrible AE::Handle::UDP for a good example...).

105.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010 3495.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
11 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration 350 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
12 time (found by Andy Grundman). 351 time (found by Andy Grundman).
