127.08 Wed Dec 10 05:27:17 CET 2014
13 - work around a newly introduced bug in Socket 2.011 (an
14 errornous sun_length check) (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
15 - AnyEvent::TLS didn't load (but refer to) AnyEvent::Socket
16 (analyzed by Ben Magistro).
17 - AnyEvent::Strict will now confess, not croak. This is in line with
18 it being a development/debugging tool.
19 - work around a number of libglib bugs (debug builds of libglib enforce
20 certain undocumented behaviour patterns such as not being able to
21 remove a child watch source after it has fired, which we will try
22 to emulate to avoid "criticals". what where they thinking...).
23 - mention json security issues in AnyEvent::Handle, now that Douglas
24 Crockford has foolishly and incompatibly changed JSON.
25 - changed default dns resolver "max_outstanding" value from 1 to 10,
26 the latter beinfg the intended value all along
27 (reported by Ilya Chesnokov).
28 - added new "AnyEvent::Impl::UV" interface module to the UV event lib
29 (written by Mike Lowell).
30
317.07 Tue Dec 17 17:45:02 CET 2013
32 - the documentation for custom tls verify schemes was wrong. make it agree
33 with the code (reported by Maxime Soulé).
34 - added cbor read and write types to AnyEvent::Handle (using CBOR::XS).
35 - work around an API change in openssl that could cause wrong tls connection
36 aborts, likely on windows only (analyzed by sten).
37 - calling AnyEvent->now_update with AnyEvent::Impl::Perl caused an
38 endless loop (reported by Dietrich Rebmann).
39 - add tlsv1_1 and tlsv1_2 protocols to AnyEvent::TLS
40 (patch by Maxime Soulé).
41 - document AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync::set_loop and
42 $AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync::LOOP. Though only documented now, this
43 functionality has _always_ been available.
44 - force a toplevel domain name in t/81_hosts.t (analyzed by
45 David Jack Wange Olrik).
46 - document that AnyEvent::Log uses AnyEvent::IO.
47 - warn about AnyEvent::Filesys::Notify performance.
48 - praise the joys of AnyEvent::Fork::*.
49 - time for an =encoding directive.
50 - do no longer use JSON to create a default json coder, use
51 JSON::XS or JSON::PP directly.
52
537.05 Wed Aug 21 10:38:08 CEST 2013
54 - uts46data.pl couldn't be found due to wrong naming of the file
55 (reported by Fulko Hew).
56 - handle lone \015's properly in AE::Handle's default line read
57 (reported by various people).
58 - untaint ip addresses found in /etc/hosts (patch by José Micó).
59 - the memleak fix in 7.03 caused resolving via /etc/hosts to always
60 fail on first use (reported and testcase by Andrew Whatson).
61 - expose AnyEvent::Log::format_time, and allow users to redefine it.
62 - expose AnyEvent::Log::default_format, and allow redefinition.
63 - expose AnyEvent::Log::fatal_exit, to allow redefinition.
64 - AnyEvent::Debug shell can now run coro shell commands, if available.
65 - t/63* tests were wrongly in MANIFEST.
66 - kernel.org's finger server went MIA, switch to freebsd.org and
67 icculus.org.
68 - clarify that IO::AIO and AnyEvent::AIO are needed for AnyEvent::IO
69 to function asynchronously (reported by Daniel Carosone).
70 - hard-disable $^W in most tests, it generates too much garbage output.
71 - use a (hopefully) more future-proof method to emulate common::sense.
72 - upgrade to UTS-46:6.2.0.
73 - switch to INSTLIB from INSTLIBDIR, as INSTLIBDIR was wrongly
74 documented. should not affect anything.
75
767.04 Thu Nov 15 02:23:58 CET 2012
77 - debugging code left in.
78
797.03 Thu Nov 15 02:16:11 CET 2012
80 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton did not work when dns resolution was
81 used to find the addresses (analyzed and patch by Maxime Soulé).
82 - fix a memory leak in the /etc/hosts lookup code when hosts don't
83 resolve and are not in hosts (analyzed by sten).
84
857.02 Tue Aug 14 04:27:58 CEST 2012
86 - AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd could block indefinitely (analyzed and test
87 program by Yorhel).
88 - verified that AnyEvent::Socket follows RFC5952.
89 - try to parse "ADDR#PORT" in addition to "ADDR PORT".
90
917.01 Sun May 13 01:03:17 CEST 2012
92 - fail with EPROTO in AnyEvent::Handle wqhen TLS is requested but
93 not available, instead of throwing an exception.
94 - use File::Spec to get the tmpdir in t/*, to avoid needless
95 failures on (most, not mine :) windows boxes.
96 - new handle read types: tls_detect and tls_autostart.
97
987.0 Fri Apr 13 06:33:30 CEST 2012
99 - child watchers are broken in POE 1.352 (also many earlier
100 versions) and there seems to be no way to work around it, as POE
101 itself is inherently racy. Document this regression and add a delay
102 in t/68_poe_03_child.t for the time being.
103 - new module AnyEvent::IO, that is a frontend to either a pure-perl
104 synchronous I/O implementation (AnyEvent::IO::Perl), or to the
105 asynchronous I/O extension IO::AIO (AnyEvent::IO::IOAIO).
106 - load /etc/hosts only when DNS has no answer.
107 - stat /etc/hosts on every access and reload it if it changed.
108 - load /etc/hosts via AnyEvent::IO - potentially asynchronous.
109 - fix a buggy croak in the dh parameter reading in AnyEvent::TLS.
110 - AnyEvent::Log log_to_file and log_to_path now use AnyEvent::IO. As
111 a side effect, they now use true appending as opposed to libc
112 appending, and the file might not have been opened when the function
113 returns.
114 - the default logging level was not properly documented in a variety of
115 places, this has hopefully been rectified.
116 - updated uts46data.pl for unicode 6.1.0.
117 - made log messages generated by AnyEvent submodules not
118 include the package name anymore, as it will be logged
119 by default already.
120 - upgrade to the trick used by common-sense 3.5 to work
121 around extra warning torture/breakage under perl 5.15.x.
122 - log messages by anyevent are now ucfirst, are usually full
123 sentences and do no longer include the package name.
124 - the storable read type would sometimes throw an exception instead
125 of causing EBADMSG (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
126 - work around a bug in openssl 1.0.1 which enforces a minimum rsa
127 keysize (reported by Paul Howarth).
128 - documented Rocco fabricating statements about AnyEvent and me.
129
1306.14 Tue Jan 31 20:00:24 CET 2012
131 - AnyEvent::Impl::Tk was broken due to a mysterious "die" inside,
132 probably an editing mistake (reported by Darin McBride).
133
1346.13 Thu Jan 12 07:27:01 CET 2012
135 - AnyEvent::Util::fork_call checked for POSIX availability in the wrong way,
136 causing it to fail if POSIX wasn't loaded already (analysed by Rock Power).
137 - AnyEvent::Handle::push_read (line => did pass $1 directly, so
138 regex-matching inside the callback would change the parameter, despite
139 $1 being dynamically scoped per-block. this perl bug is now being
140 worked around (testcase by Cindy Wang).
141
1426.12 Mon Dec 12 13:21:10 CET 2011
143 - $! was clobbered by subsequent calls in tcp_connect, due to
144 the postpone not saving/restoring it (analyzed by Richard Garnish).
145
1466.11 Tue Nov 22 10:36:05 CET 2011
147 - Tk cannot create windows when tainted unless you set a title, so
148 set a dummy title for AnyEvent's dummy mainwindow. How dummy.
149 - escape any nonprintable/nonascii characters when stringifying
150 backtraces.
151 - log the reason loading an interface module fails to load at level debug.
152
1536.1 Tue Oct 4 19:44:30 CEST 2011
10 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error 154 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
11 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated 155 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
12 to higher log levels to print by default. 156 to higher log levels to print by default.
13 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal. 157 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
158 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
159 how that module sucks.
14 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally 160 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
15 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead 161 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
16 of 127.0.0.1). 162 of 127.0.0.1).
17 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level. 163 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
164 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
165 - AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to.
18 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular 166 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
19 intervals. 167 intervals.
20 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded. 168 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
21 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx. 169 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
170 which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
171 delivery.
22 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial. 172 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
173 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
174 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
175 of the context as title.
176 - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback
177 died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging...
178 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
179 to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
180 to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
181 attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
182 AnyEvent.
