7 13
14 - aligned ipv6 address formatting with RFC 5952 (by not shortening
15 a single :0: to ::).
16
177.09 Sat May 2 16:38:53 CEST 2015
18 - AnyEvent::Debug called an internal function (AnyEvent::Log::ft)
19 that was renamed to AnyEvent::Log:format_time. uinder its old name
20 (analyzed by Michael Stovenour).
21 - update AnyEvent::DNS fallback resolver addresses:
22 seems google effectively killed most other free dns resolvers,
23 so remove them, but add cable and wireless (ecrc) since it was
24 stable for 20 years or so, official or not, and there should be
25 an alternative to google.
26 - perl5porters broke windows error codes in 5.20, and mapped
27 WSAEWOULDBLOCK on the (different) EWOULDBLOCK error code, and
28 WSAEINPROGRESS into the incompatible ERINPROGRESS code, probably
29 because they were so cool. They probably broke other error codes
30 for no reason, too, but I didn't care for checking, it's too
31 depressing. This version only works around the WSAEWOULDBLOCK
32 issue, because I don't have a nice way to work around the
33 WSAEINPROGRESS bug.
34
357.08 Wed Dec 10 05:27:17 CET 2014
36 - work around a newly introduced bug in Socket 2.011 (an
37 errornous sun_length check) (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
38 - AnyEvent::TLS didn't load (but refer to) AnyEvent::Socket
39 (analyzed by Ben Magistro).
40 - AnyEvent::Strict will now confess, not croak. This is in line with
41 it being a development/debugging tool.
42 - work around a number of libglib bugs (debug builds of libglib enforce
43 certain undocumented behaviour patterns such as not being able to
44 remove a child watch source after it has fired, which we will try
45 to emulate to avoid "criticals". what where they thinking...).
46 - mention json security issues in AnyEvent::Handle, now that Douglas
47 Crockford has foolishly and incompatibly changed JSON.
48 - changed default dns resolver "max_outstanding" value from 1 to 10,
49 the latter beinfg the intended value all along
50 (reported by Ilya Chesnokov).
51 - added new "AnyEvent::Impl::UV" interface module to the UV event lib
52 (written by Mike Lowell).
53
547.07 Tue Dec 17 17:45:02 CET 2013
55 - the documentation for custom tls verify schemes was wrong. make it agree
56 with the code (reported by Maxime Soulé).
57 - added cbor read and write types to AnyEvent::Handle (using CBOR::XS).
58 - work around an API change in openssl that could cause wrong tls connection
59 aborts, likely on windows only (analyzed by sten).
60 - calling AnyEvent->now_update with AnyEvent::Impl::Perl caused an
61 endless loop (reported by Dietrich Rebmann).
62 - add tlsv1_1 and tlsv1_2 protocols to AnyEvent::TLS
63 (patch by Maxime Soulé).
64 - document AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync::set_loop and
65 $AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync::LOOP. Though only documented now, this
66 functionality has _always_ been available.
67 - force a toplevel domain name in t/81_hosts.t (analyzed by
68 David Jack Wange Olrik).
69 - document that AnyEvent::Log uses AnyEvent::IO.
70 - warn about AnyEvent::Filesys::Notify performance.
71 - praise the joys of AnyEvent::Fork::*.
72 - time for an =encoding directive.
73 - do no longer use JSON to create a default json coder, use
74 JSON::XS or JSON::PP directly.
75
767.05 Wed Aug 21 10:38:08 CEST 2013
77 - uts46data.pl couldn't be found due to wrong naming of the file
78 (reported by Fulko Hew).
79 - handle lone \015's properly in AE::Handle's default line read
80 (reported by various people).
81 - untaint ip addresses found in /etc/hosts (patch by José Micó).
82 - the memleak fix in 7.03 caused resolving via /etc/hosts to always
83 fail on first use (reported and testcase by Andrew Whatson).
84 - expose AnyEvent::Log::format_time, and allow users to redefine it.
85 - expose AnyEvent::Log::default_format, and allow redefinition.
86 - expose AnyEvent::Log::fatal_exit, to allow redefinition.
87 - AnyEvent::Debug shell can now run coro shell commands, if available.
88 - t/63* tests were wrongly in MANIFEST.
89 - kernel.org's finger server went MIA, switch to freebsd.org and
90 icculus.org.
91 - clarify that IO::AIO and AnyEvent::AIO are needed for AnyEvent::IO
92 to function asynchronously (reported by Daniel Carosone).
93 - hard-disable $^W in most tests, it generates too much garbage output.
94 - use a (hopefully) more future-proof method to emulate common::sense.
95 - upgrade to UTS-46:6.2.0.
96 - switch to INSTLIB from INSTLIBDIR, as INSTLIBDIR was wrongly
97 documented. should not affect anything.
98
997.04 Thu Nov 15 02:23:58 CET 2012
100 - debugging code left in.
101
1027.03 Thu Nov 15 02:16:11 CET 2012
103 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton did not work when dns resolution was
104 used to find the addresses (analyzed and patch by Maxime Soulé).
105 - fix a memory leak in the /etc/hosts lookup code when hosts don't
106 resolve and are not in hosts (analyzed by sten).
107
1087.02 Tue Aug 14 04:27:58 CEST 2012
109 - AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd could block indefinitely (analyzed and test
110 program by Yorhel).
111 - verified that AnyEvent::Socket follows RFC5952.
112 - try to parse "ADDR#PORT" in addition to "ADDR PORT".
113
1147.01 Sun May 13 01:03:17 CEST 2012
115 - fail with EPROTO in AnyEvent::Handle wqhen TLS is requested but
116 not available, instead of throwing an exception.
117 - use File::Spec to get the tmpdir in t/*, to avoid needless
118 failures on (most, not mine :) windows boxes.
119 - new handle read types: tls_detect and tls_autostart.
120
1217.0 Fri Apr 13 06:33:30 CEST 2012
122 - child watchers are broken in POE 1.352 (also many earlier
123 versions) and there seems to be no way to work around it, as POE
124 itself is inherently racy. Document this regression and add a delay
125 in t/68_poe_03_child.t for the time being.
126 - new module AnyEvent::IO, that is a frontend to either a pure-perl
127 synchronous I/O implementation (AnyEvent::IO::Perl), or to the
128 asynchronous I/O extension IO::AIO (AnyEvent::IO::IOAIO).
129 - load /etc/hosts only when DNS has no answer.
130 - stat /etc/hosts on every access and reload it if it changed.
131 - load /etc/hosts via AnyEvent::IO - potentially asynchronous.
132 - fix a buggy croak in the dh parameter reading in AnyEvent::TLS.
133 - AnyEvent::Log log_to_file and log_to_path now use AnyEvent::IO. As
134 a side effect, they now use true appending as opposed to libc
135 appending, and the file might not have been opened when the function
136 returns.
137 - the default logging level was not properly documented in a variety of
138 places, this has hopefully been rectified.
139 - updated uts46data.pl for unicode 6.1.0.
140 - made log messages generated by AnyEvent submodules not
141 include the package name anymore, as it will be logged
142 by default already.
143 - upgrade to the trick used by common-sense 3.5 to work
144 around extra warning torture/breakage under perl 5.15.x.
145 - log messages by anyevent are now ucfirst, are usually full
146 sentences and do no longer include the package name.
147 - the storable read type would sometimes throw an exception instead
148 of causing EBADMSG (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
149 - work around a bug in openssl 1.0.1 which enforces a minimum rsa
150 keysize (reported by Paul Howarth).
151 - documented Rocco fabricating statements about AnyEvent and me.
152
1536.14 Tue Jan 31 20:00:24 CET 2012
154 - AnyEvent::Impl::Tk was broken due to a mysterious "die" inside,
155 probably an editing mistake (reported by Darin McBride).
156
1576.13 Thu Jan 12 07:27:01 CET 2012
158 - AnyEvent::Util::fork_call checked for POSIX availability in the wrong way,
159 causing it to fail if POSIX wasn't loaded already (analysed by Rock Power).
160 - AnyEvent::Handle::push_read (line => did pass $1 directly, so
161 regex-matching inside the callback would change the parameter, despite
162 $1 being dynamically scoped per-block. this perl bug is now being
163 worked around (testcase by Cindy Wang).
164
1656.12 Mon Dec 12 13:21:10 CET 2011
166 - $! was clobbered by subsequent calls in tcp_connect, due to
167 the postpone not saving/restoring it (analyzed by Richard Garnish).
168
1696.11 Tue Nov 22 10:36:05 CET 2011
170 - Tk cannot create windows when tainted unless you set a title, so
171 set a dummy title for AnyEvent's dummy mainwindow. How dummy.
172 - escape any nonprintable/nonascii characters when stringifying
173 backtraces.
174 - log the reason loading an interface module fails to load at level debug.
175
1766.1 Tue Oct 4 19:44:30 CEST 2011
177 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
178 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
179 to higher log levels to print by default.
180 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
181 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
182 how that module sucks.
183 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
184 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
185 of 127.0.0.1).
186 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
187 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
188 - AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to.
189 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
190 intervals.
191 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
192 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
193 which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
194 delivery.
195 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
196 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
197 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
198 of the context as title.
199 - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback
200 died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging...
201 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
202 to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
203 to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
204 attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
205 AnyEvent.
206
2076.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
208 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
209 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
210 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
211 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
212 to work around.
213 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
214
2156.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011
216 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
217 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
218 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
219 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
220 AnyEvent::Socket.
221 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
222 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
223 methods.
224 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
225 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
226 - DEPRECIATION: please change
227 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
228 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
229 in your programs, for future compatibility.
230 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
231 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
232 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
233 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
234 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
235 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
236 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
237 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
238 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
239 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
240 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
241 a debug shell.
242 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
243 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
244 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
245 /etc/hosts can be found.
246 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
247 configuration.
248 - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
249 PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
250 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
251 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications of $_ by the callback
252 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
253 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
254 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
255 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
256 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
257 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
258 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
259 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
260 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
261 supports /etc/hosts overrides.
262 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
263 and (newly introduced) in POE.
264 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
265 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
266 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
267 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
268 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
269 (reported by Gerald Galster).
270 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
271 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
272 do not support blocking waits.
273 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
274 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
275 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
276 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
277 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
278 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
279 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
280 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
281 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
282 - suppress the idiotic warning inside POE by patching the POE::Kernel
283 run flags instead of asking the user to jump through contortions.
284 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
285 - replace PF_UNSPEC by 0, for good old minix.
286
2876.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)
288
2895.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
290 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
291 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
292 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
293
2945.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
295 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
296 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
297 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
8 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0. 298 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
9 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve, 299 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
10 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense. 300 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
301 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
302 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
11 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing. 303 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
12 - passes the uts46 testsuite except for three cases which apparently 304 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
13 are bugs in the tetssuite itself. 305 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
306 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
307 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.

155.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011 3095.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
16 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and 310 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
17 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue. 311 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
18 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien). 312 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
