9 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set. 15 - AnyEvent::Socket::parse_ipv6 could accept malformed ipv6
16 addresses (extra "::" at end and similar cases).
17 - add a more explicit warning to AnyEvent::Handle that it doesn't
18 work on files, people keep getting confused.
19 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::tcp_bind.
20 - new functions AnyEvent::fh_block and AnyEvent::fh_unblock.
21 - aligned ipv6 address formatting with RFC 5952 (by not shortening
22 a single :0: to ::).
23 - added stability canary support.
24
257.09 Sat May 2 16:38:53 CEST 2015
26 - AnyEvent::Debug called an internal function (AnyEvent::Log::ft)
27 that was renamed to AnyEvent::Log:format_time. uinder its old name
28 (analyzed by Michael Stovenour).
29 - update AnyEvent::DNS fallback resolver addresses:
30 seems google effectively killed most other free dns resolvers,
31 so remove them, but add cable and wireless (ecrc) since it was
32 stable for 20 years or so, official or not, and there should be
33 an alternative to google.
34 - perl5porters broke windows error codes in 5.20, and mapped
35 WSAEWOULDBLOCK on the (different) EWOULDBLOCK error code, and
36 WSAEINPROGRESS into the incompatible ERINPROGRESS code, probably
37 because they were so cool. They probably broke other error codes
38 for no reason, too, but I didn't care for checking, it's too
39 depressing. This version only works around the WSAEWOULDBLOCK
40 issue, because I don't have a nice way to work around the
41 WSAEINPROGRESS bug.
42
437.08 Wed Dec 10 05:27:17 CET 2014
44 - work around a newly introduced bug in Socket 2.011 (an
45 errornous sun_length check) (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
46 - AnyEvent::TLS didn't load (but refer to) AnyEvent::Socket
47 (analyzed by Ben Magistro).
48 - AnyEvent::Strict will now confess, not croak. This is in line with
49 it being a development/debugging tool.
50 - work around a number of libglib bugs (debug builds of libglib enforce
51 certain undocumented behaviour patterns such as not being able to
52 remove a child watch source after it has fired, which we will try
53 to emulate to avoid "criticals". what where they thinking...).
54 - mention json security issues in AnyEvent::Handle, now that Douglas
55 Crockford has foolishly and incompatibly changed JSON.
56 - changed default dns resolver "max_outstanding" value from 1 to 10,
57 the latter beinfg the intended value all along
58 (reported by Ilya Chesnokov).
59 - added new "AnyEvent::Impl::UV" interface module to the UV event lib
60 (written by Mike Lowell).
61
627.07 Tue Dec 17 17:45:02 CET 2013
63 - the documentation for custom tls verify schemes was wrong. make it agree
64 with the code (reported by Maxime Soulé).
65 - added cbor read and write types to AnyEvent::Handle (using CBOR::XS).
66 - work around an API change in openssl that could cause wrong tls connection
67 aborts, likely on windows only (analyzed by sten).
68 - calling AnyEvent->now_update with AnyEvent::Impl::Perl caused an
69 endless loop (reported by Dietrich Rebmann).
70 - add tlsv1_1 and tlsv1_2 protocols to AnyEvent::TLS
71 (patch by Maxime Soulé).
72 - document AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync::set_loop and
73 $AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync::LOOP. Though only documented now, this
74 functionality has _always_ been available.
75 - force a toplevel domain name in t/81_hosts.t (analyzed by
76 David Jack Wange Olrik).
77 - document that AnyEvent::Log uses AnyEvent::IO.
78 - warn about AnyEvent::Filesys::Notify performance.
79 - praise the joys of AnyEvent::Fork::*.
80 - time for an =encoding directive.
81 - do no longer use JSON to create a default json coder, use
82 JSON::XS or JSON::PP directly.
83
847.05 Wed Aug 21 10:38:08 CEST 2013
85 - uts46data.pl couldn't be found due to wrong naming of the file
86 (reported by Fulko Hew).
87 - handle lone \015's properly in AE::Handle's default line read
88 (reported by various people).
89 - untaint ip addresses found in /etc/hosts (patch by José Micó).
90 - the memleak fix in 7.03 caused resolving via /etc/hosts to always
91 fail on first use (reported and testcase by Andrew Whatson).
92 - expose AnyEvent::Log::format_time, and allow users to redefine it.
93 - expose AnyEvent::Log::default_format, and allow redefinition.
94 - expose AnyEvent::Log::fatal_exit, to allow redefinition.
95 - AnyEvent::Debug shell can now run coro shell commands, if available.
96 - t/63* tests were wrongly in MANIFEST.
97 - kernel.org's finger server went MIA, switch to freebsd.org and
98 icculus.org.
99 - clarify that IO::AIO and AnyEvent::AIO are needed for AnyEvent::IO
100 to function asynchronously (reported by Daniel Carosone).
101 - hard-disable $^W in most tests, it generates too much garbage output.
102 - use a (hopefully) more future-proof method to emulate common::sense.
103 - upgrade to UTS-46:6.2.0.
104 - switch to INSTLIB from INSTLIBDIR, as INSTLIBDIR was wrongly
105 documented. should not affect anything.
106
1077.04 Thu Nov 15 02:23:58 CET 2012
108 - debugging code left in.
109
1107.03 Thu Nov 15 02:16:11 CET 2012
111 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton did not work when dns resolution was
112 used to find the addresses (analyzed and patch by Maxime Soulé).
113 - fix a memory leak in the /etc/hosts lookup code when hosts don't
114 resolve and are not in hosts (analyzed by sten).
115
1167.02 Tue Aug 14 04:27:58 CEST 2012
117 - AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd could block indefinitely (analyzed and test
118 program by Yorhel).
119 - verified that AnyEvent::Socket follows RFC5952.
120 - try to parse "ADDR#PORT" in addition to "ADDR PORT".
121
1227.01 Sun May 13 01:03:17 CEST 2012
123 - fail with EPROTO in AnyEvent::Handle wqhen TLS is requested but
124 not available, instead of throwing an exception.
125 - use File::Spec to get the tmpdir in t/*, to avoid needless
126 failures on (most, not mine :) windows boxes.
127 - new handle read types: tls_detect and tls_autostart.
128
1297.0 Fri Apr 13 06:33:30 CEST 2012
130 - child watchers are broken in POE 1.352 (also many earlier
131 versions) and there seems to be no way to work around it, as POE
132 itself is inherently racy. Document this regression and add a delay
133 in t/68_poe_03_child.t for the time being.
134 - new module AnyEvent::IO, that is a frontend to either a pure-perl
135 synchronous I/O implementation (AnyEvent::IO::Perl), or to the
136 asynchronous I/O extension IO::AIO (AnyEvent::IO::IOAIO).
137 - load /etc/hosts only when DNS has no answer.
138 - stat /etc/hosts on every access and reload it if it changed.
139 - load /etc/hosts via AnyEvent::IO - potentially asynchronous.
140 - fix a buggy croak in the dh parameter reading in AnyEvent::TLS.
141 - AnyEvent::Log log_to_file and log_to_path now use AnyEvent::IO. As
142 a side effect, they now use true appending as opposed to libc
143 appending, and the file might not have been opened when the function
144 returns.
145 - the default logging level was not properly documented in a variety of
146 places, this has hopefully been rectified.
147 - updated uts46data.pl for unicode 6.1.0.
148 - made log messages generated by AnyEvent submodules not
149 include the package name anymore, as it will be logged
150 by default already.
151 - upgrade to the trick used by common-sense 3.5 to work
152 around extra warning torture/breakage under perl 5.15.x.
153 - log messages by anyevent are now ucfirst, are usually full
154 sentences and do no longer include the package name.
155 - the storable read type would sometimes throw an exception instead
156 of causing EBADMSG (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
157 - work around a bug in openssl 1.0.1 which enforces a minimum rsa
158 keysize (reported by Paul Howarth).
159 - documented Rocco fabricating statements about AnyEvent and me.
160
1616.14 Tue Jan 31 20:00:24 CET 2012
162 - AnyEvent::Impl::Tk was broken due to a mysterious "die" inside,
163 probably an editing mistake (reported by Darin McBride).
164
1656.13 Thu Jan 12 07:27:01 CET 2012
166 - AnyEvent::Util::fork_call checked for POSIX availability in the wrong way,
167 causing it to fail if POSIX wasn't loaded already (analysed by Rock Power).
168 - AnyEvent::Handle::push_read (line => did pass $1 directly, so
169 regex-matching inside the callback would change the parameter, despite
170 $1 being dynamically scoped per-block. this perl bug is now being
171 worked around (testcase by Cindy Wang).
172
1736.12 Mon Dec 12 13:21:10 CET 2011
174 - $! was clobbered by subsequent calls in tcp_connect, due to
175 the postpone not saving/restoring it (analyzed by Richard Garnish).
176
1776.11 Tue Nov 22 10:36:05 CET 2011
178 - Tk cannot create windows when tainted unless you set a title, so
179 set a dummy title for AnyEvent's dummy mainwindow. How dummy.
180 - escape any nonprintable/nonascii characters when stringifying
181 backtraces.
182 - log the reason loading an interface module fails to load at level debug.
183
1846.1 Tue Oct 4 19:44:30 CEST 2011
185 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
186 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
187 to higher log levels to print by default.
188 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
189 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
190 how that module sucks.
191 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
192 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
193 of 127.0.0.1).
194 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
195 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
196 - AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to.
197 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
198 intervals.
199 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
200 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
201 which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
202 delivery.
203 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
204 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
205 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
206 of the context as title.
207 - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback
208 died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging...
209 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
210 to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
211 to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
212 attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
213 AnyEvent.
214
2156.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
216 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
217 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
218 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
219 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
220 to work around.
221 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
222
2236.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011
224 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
225 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
226 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
227 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
228 AnyEvent::Socket.
229 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
230 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
231 methods.
232 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
233 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
234 - DEPRECIATION: please change
235 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
236 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
237 in your programs, for future compatibility.
238 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
239 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
240 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
241 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
242 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
243 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
244 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
245 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
246 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
247 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
248 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
249 a debug shell.
250 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
251 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
252 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
253 /etc/hosts can be found.
254 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
255 configuration.
256 - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
257 PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
258 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
259 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications of $_ by the callback
260 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
261 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
262 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
263 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
264 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
265 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
266 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
267 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
268 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
269 supports /etc/hosts overrides.
270 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
271 and (newly introduced) in POE.
272 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
273 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
274 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
275 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
276 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
277 (reported by Gerald Galster).
278 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
279 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
280 do not support blocking waits.
281 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
282 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
283 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
284 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
285 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
286 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
287 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
288 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
289 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
290 - suppress the idiotic warning inside POE by patching the POE::Kernel
291 run flags instead of asking the user to jump through contortions.
292 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
293 - replace PF_UNSPEC by 0, for good old minix.
294
2956.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)
296
2975.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
298 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
299 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
300 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
301
3025.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
303 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
304 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
305 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
306 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
307 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
308 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
309 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
310 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
311 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
312 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
313 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
314 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
315 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
316
3175.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
318 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
319 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
320 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
321 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
322 documentation for caveats.
323 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
324 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
325 AnyEvent::Handle).
326 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
327 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
10 328
115.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010 3295.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
12 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major 330 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
