Revision 1.251 by root, Sun Jun 28 15:39:27 2009 UTC

1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2 2
3 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
4 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
5 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
6 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
7 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
8
94.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
10 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
11 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
12 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
13 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
14 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
15
164.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
17 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
18 and set it on the default resolver.
19 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
20 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
21 when running in tainted mode.
22 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
23
244.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
25 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
26
274.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
28 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
29 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
30 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
31 destructors.
32 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
33 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
34 implementation.
35 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
36 for cosmetic reasons.
37
384.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
39 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
40 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
41 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
42 - sped up Tk timer handling.
43 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
44 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
45 - fix Qt timers without interval.
46 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
47
484.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
49 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
50 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
51 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
52
534.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
54 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
55 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
56 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
57 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
58
594.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
60 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
61 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
62 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
63 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
64 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
65 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
66 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
67 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
68 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
69 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
70 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
71
724.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
73 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
74 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
75 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
76 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
77 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
78 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
79 backend.
80 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
81
824.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
83 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
84 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
85 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
86 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
87 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
88 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
89
904.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
91 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
92 illegal.
93 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
94 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
95 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
96 by Adam Rosenstein).
97 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
98 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
99 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
100
1014.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
102 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
103 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
104 the socket type.
105 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
106
1074.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
108 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
109 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
110 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
111 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
112 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
113 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
114
1154.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
116 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
117 unless one has been installed already.
118 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
119 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
120 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
121 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
122 client would first wait for some data by the server and
123 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
124 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
125 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
126 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
127 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
128 Rosenstein).
129 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
130 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
131 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
132 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
133 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
134 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
135 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
136 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
137 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
138 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
139 now, more to come, though.
140 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
141
1424.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
143 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
144 no trace events.
145 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
146 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
147 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
148 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
149 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
150 Time::HiRes).
151
1524.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
153 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
154 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
155
1564.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
157 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
158 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
159 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
160 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
161
1624.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
163 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
164 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
165 perls without resource leaks or worse).
166
1674.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
168 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
169 the callback.
170 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
171 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
172 eol marker.
173 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
174 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
175 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
176
1774.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
178 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
179 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
180 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
181 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
182 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
183
1844.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
185 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
186 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
187 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
188 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
189 unusable way.
190 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
191 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
192 K. Sharifulin).
193
1944.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
195 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
196 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
197 be delayed under some circumstances.
198 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
199 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
200 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
201 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
202 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
203 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
204
2054.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
206 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
207 assumption that all data could be written before read
208 (reported by Jim Razmus).
209
2104.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
211 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
212 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
213 implementation (also affected child watchers).
214 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
215
2164.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
217 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
218 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
219 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
220
2214.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
222 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
223 works.
224
2254.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
226 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
227 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
228 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
229 for AnyEvent::Handle.
230 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
231 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
232
2334.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
234 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
235 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
236 executing the guard block as warnings.
237 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
238
2394.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
240 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
241 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
242 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
243 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
244 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
245 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
246 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
247 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
248 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
249 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
250 enter an endless loop.
251 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
252 busy again after idling.
253 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
254 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
255 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
256 (hopefully).
257 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
258 away any time.
259
2604.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
261 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
262 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
263 - allow more options in on_error.
264
2654.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
266 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
267 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
268 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
269 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
270 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
271 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
272 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
273 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
274 rfc 2782.
275 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
276 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
277 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
278 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
279 could die. this has been fixed.
280 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
281 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
282 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
283 for resolver class.
284 - update version numbers in all modules.
285
2864.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
287 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
288 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
289 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
290 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
291 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
292 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
293 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
294 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
295 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
296 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
297 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
298 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
299 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
300 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
301 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
302 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
303 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
304 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
305 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
306 but EV also works around this).
307 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
308 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
309 vs. callback arguments.
310 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
311
3124.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
313 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
314 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
315 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
316 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
317
3184.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
319 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
320 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
321 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
322 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
323 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
324 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
325 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
326 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
327 sake of perl 5.8.
328 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
329 (still a hack...)
330 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
331 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
332 die handlers.
333
3344.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
335 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
336 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
337 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
338 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
339 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
340 - updated documentation.
341 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
342 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
343 in AnyEvent::Handle.
344 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
345 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
346 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
347 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
348
3494.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
350 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
351 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
352 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
353 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
354 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
355 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
356 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
357 verbatim ip addresses.
358 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
359 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
360 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
361 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
362 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
363 become writable until empty.
364 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
365 returns ENOTCONN.
366 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
367 override.
368 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
369
3703.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
371 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
372 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
373 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
374 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
375 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
376 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
377 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
378 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
379 first and second argument.
380 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
381 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
382 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
383 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
384 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
385
3863.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
387 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
388
3893.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
390 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
391 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
392 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
393 (still subject to change).
394 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
395 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
396 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
397 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
398 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
399 via Coro::AnyEvent.
400
4013.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
402 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
