1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2 2
3TODO: document repeat or use interval.
4 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
5
6 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
7 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
8 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
9 be delayed under some circumstances.
10 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
11
124.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
13 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
14 assumption that all data could be written before read
15 (reported by Jim Razmus).
16
174.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
18 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
19 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
20 implementation (also affected child watchers).
21 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
22
234.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
24 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
25 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
26 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
27
284.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
29 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
30 works.
31
324.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
33 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
34 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
35 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
36 for AnyEvent::Handle.
37 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
38 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
39
404.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
41 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
42 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
43 executing the guard block as warnings.
44 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
45
464.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
47 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
48 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
49 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
50 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
51 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
52 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
53 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
54 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
55 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
56 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
57 enter an endless loop.
58 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
59 busy again after idling.
60 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
61 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
62 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
63 (hopefully).
64 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
65 away any time.
66
674.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
68 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
69 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
70 - allow more options in on_error.
71
724.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
73 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
74 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
75 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
76 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
77 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
78 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
79 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
80 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
81 rfc 2782.
82 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
83 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
84 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
85 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
86 could die. this has been fixed.
87 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
88 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
89 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
90 for resolver class.
91 - update version numbers in all modules.
92
934.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
94 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
95 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
96 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
97 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
98 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
99 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
100 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
101 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
102 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
103 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
104 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
105 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
106 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
107 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
108 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
109 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
110 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
111 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
112 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
113 but EV also works around this).
114 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
115 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
116 vs. callback arguments.
117 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
118
1194.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
120 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
121 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
122 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
123 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
124
1254.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
126 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
127 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
128 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
129 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
130 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
131 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
132 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
133 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
134 sake of perl 5.8.
135 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
136 (still a hack...)
137 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
138 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
139 die handlers.
140
1414.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
142 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
143 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
144 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
145 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
146 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
147 - updated documentation.
148 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
149 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
150 in AnyEvent::Handle.
151 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
152 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
153 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
154 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
155
1564.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
157 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
158 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
159 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
160 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
161 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
162 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
163 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
164 verbatim ip addresses.
165 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
166 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
167 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
168 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
169 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
170 become writable until empty.
171 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
172 returns ENOTCONN.
173 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP brutal
174 override.
175 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
176
1773.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
178 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
179 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
180 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
181 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
182 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
183 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
184 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
185 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
186 first and second argument.
187 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
188 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
189 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
190 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
191 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
192
1933.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
194 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
195
1963.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
197 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful
198 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
199 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
200 (still subject to change).
201 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
202 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
203 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
204 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
205 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
206 via Coro::AnyEvent.
207
2083.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
209 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
