167.12 Wed Jan 27 19:12:26 CET 2016
17 - use common name as hostname for tls connects, if Net::SSLeay
18 supports SNI.
19 - fix documentation of tls_autostart read type in AnyEvent::Handle,
20 analyzed by Felix Ostmann.
21
227.11 Thu Jul 16 14:36:00 CEST 2015
23 - AnyEvent::Socket::parse_ipv6 could accept malformed ipv6
24 addresses (extra "::" at end and similar cases).
25 - add a more explicit warning to AnyEvent::Handle that it doesn't
26 work on files, people keep getting confused.
27 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::tcp_bind.
28 - new functions AnyEvent::fh_block and AnyEvent::fh_unblock.
29 - aligned ipv6 address formatting with RFC 5952 (by not shortening
30 a single :0: to ::).
31 - added stability canary support.
32
337.09 Sat May 2 16:38:53 CEST 2015
34 - AnyEvent::Debug called an internal function (AnyEvent::Log::ft)
35 that was renamed to AnyEvent::Log:format_time. uinder its old name
36 (analyzed by Michael Stovenour).
37 - update AnyEvent::DNS fallback resolver addresses:
38 seems google effectively killed most other free dns resolvers,
39 so remove them, but add cable and wireless (ecrc) since it was
40 stable for 20 years or so, official or not, and there should be
41 an alternative to google.
42 - perl5porters broke windows error codes in 5.20, and mapped
43 WSAEWOULDBLOCK on the (different) EWOULDBLOCK error code, and
44 WSAEINPROGRESS into the incompatible ERINPROGRESS code, probably
45 because they were so cool. They probably broke other error codes
46 for no reason, too, but I didn't care for checking, it's too
47 depressing. This version only works around the WSAEWOULDBLOCK
48 issue, because I don't have a nice way to work around the
49 WSAEINPROGRESS bug.
50
517.08 Wed Dec 10 05:27:17 CET 2014
52 - work around a newly introduced bug in Socket 2.011 (an
53 errornous sun_length check) (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
54 - AnyEvent::TLS didn't load (but refer to) AnyEvent::Socket
55 (analyzed by Ben Magistro).
56 - AnyEvent::Strict will now confess, not croak. This is in line with
57 it being a development/debugging tool.
58 - work around a number of libglib bugs (debug builds of libglib enforce
59 certain undocumented behaviour patterns such as not being able to
60 remove a child watch source after it has fired, which we will try
61 to emulate to avoid "criticals". what where they thinking...).
62 - mention json security issues in AnyEvent::Handle, now that Douglas
63 Crockford has foolishly and incompatibly changed JSON.
64 - changed default dns resolver "max_outstanding" value from 1 to 10,
65 the latter beinfg the intended value all along
66 (reported by Ilya Chesnokov).
67 - added new "AnyEvent::Impl::UV" interface module to the UV event lib
68 (written by Mike Lowell).
69
707.07 Tue Dec 17 17:45:02 CET 2013
71 - the documentation for custom tls verify schemes was wrong. make it agree
72 with the code (reported by Maxime Soulé).
73 - added cbor read and write types to AnyEvent::Handle (using CBOR::XS).
74 - work around an API change in openssl that could cause wrong tls connection
75 aborts, likely on windows only (analyzed by sten).
76 - calling AnyEvent->now_update with AnyEvent::Impl::Perl caused an
77 endless loop (reported by Dietrich Rebmann).
78 - add tlsv1_1 and tlsv1_2 protocols to AnyEvent::TLS
79 (patch by Maxime Soulé).
80 - document AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync::set_loop and
81 $AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync::LOOP. Though only documented now, this
82 functionality has _always_ been available.
83 - force a toplevel domain name in t/81_hosts.t (analyzed by
84 David Jack Wange Olrik).
85 - document that AnyEvent::Log uses AnyEvent::IO.
86 - warn about AnyEvent::Filesys::Notify performance.
87 - praise the joys of AnyEvent::Fork::*.
88 - time for an =encoding directive.
89 - do no longer use JSON to create a default json coder, use
90 JSON::XS or JSON::PP directly.
91
927.05 Wed Aug 21 10:38:08 CEST 2013
93 - uts46data.pl couldn't be found due to wrong naming of the file
94 (reported by Fulko Hew).
95 - handle lone \015's properly in AE::Handle's default line read
96 (reported by various people).
97 - untaint ip addresses found in /etc/hosts (patch by José Micó).
98 - the memleak fix in 7.03 caused resolving via /etc/hosts to always
99 fail on first use (reported and testcase by Andrew Whatson).
100 - expose AnyEvent::Log::format_time, and allow users to redefine it.
101 - expose AnyEvent::Log::default_format, and allow redefinition.
102 - expose AnyEvent::Log::fatal_exit, to allow redefinition.
103 - AnyEvent::Debug shell can now run coro shell commands, if available.
104 - t/63* tests were wrongly in MANIFEST.
105 - kernel.org's finger server went MIA, switch to freebsd.org and
106 icculus.org.
107 - clarify that IO::AIO and AnyEvent::AIO are needed for AnyEvent::IO
108 to function asynchronously (reported by Daniel Carosone).
109 - hard-disable $^W in most tests, it generates too much garbage output.
110 - use a (hopefully) more future-proof method to emulate common::sense.
111 - upgrade to UTS-46:6.2.0.
112 - switch to INSTLIB from INSTLIBDIR, as INSTLIBDIR was wrongly
113 documented. should not affect anything.
114
1157.04 Thu Nov 15 02:23:58 CET 2012
116 - debugging code left in.
117
1187.03 Thu Nov 15 02:16:11 CET 2012
119 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton did not work when dns resolution was
120 used to find the addresses (analyzed and patch by Maxime Soulé).
121 - fix a memory leak in the /etc/hosts lookup code when hosts don't
122 resolve and are not in hosts (analyzed by sten).
123
1247.02 Tue Aug 14 04:27:58 CEST 2012
125 - AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd could block indefinitely (analyzed and test
126 program by Yorhel).
127 - verified that AnyEvent::Socket follows RFC5952.
128 - try to parse "ADDR#PORT" in addition to "ADDR PORT".
129
1307.01 Sun May 13 01:03:17 CEST 2012
131 - fail with EPROTO in AnyEvent::Handle wqhen TLS is requested but
132 not available, instead of throwing an exception.
133 - use File::Spec to get the tmpdir in t/*, to avoid needless
134 failures on (most, not mine :) windows boxes.
135 - new handle read types: tls_detect and tls_autostart.
136
1377.0 Fri Apr 13 06:33:30 CEST 2012
138 - child watchers are broken in POE 1.352 (also many earlier
139 versions) and there seems to be no way to work around it, as POE
140 itself is inherently racy. Document this regression and add a delay
141 in t/68_poe_03_child.t for the time being.
142 - new module AnyEvent::IO, that is a frontend to either a pure-perl
143 synchronous I/O implementation (AnyEvent::IO::Perl), or to the
144 asynchronous I/O extension IO::AIO (AnyEvent::IO::IOAIO).
145 - load /etc/hosts only when DNS has no answer.
146 - stat /etc/hosts on every access and reload it if it changed.
147 - load /etc/hosts via AnyEvent::IO - potentially asynchronous.
148 - fix a buggy croak in the dh parameter reading in AnyEvent::TLS.
149 - AnyEvent::Log log_to_file and log_to_path now use AnyEvent::IO. As
150 a side effect, they now use true appending as opposed to libc
151 appending, and the file might not have been opened when the function
152 returns.
153 - the default logging level was not properly documented in a variety of
154 places, this has hopefully been rectified.
155 - updated uts46data.pl for unicode 6.1.0.
156 - made log messages generated by AnyEvent submodules not
157 include the package name anymore, as it will be logged
158 by default already.
159 - upgrade to the trick used by common-sense 3.5 to work
160 around extra warning torture/breakage under perl 5.15.x.
161 - log messages by anyevent are now ucfirst, are usually full
162 sentences and do no longer include the package name.
163 - the storable read type would sometimes throw an exception instead
164 of causing EBADMSG (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
165 - work around a bug in openssl 1.0.1 which enforces a minimum rsa
166 keysize (reported by Paul Howarth).
167 - documented Rocco fabricating statements about AnyEvent and me.
168
1696.14 Tue Jan 31 20:00:24 CET 2012
170 - AnyEvent::Impl::Tk was broken due to a mysterious "die" inside,
171 probably an editing mistake (reported by Darin McBride).
172
1736.13 Thu Jan 12 07:27:01 CET 2012
174 - AnyEvent::Util::fork_call checked for POSIX availability in the wrong way,
175 causing it to fail if POSIX wasn't loaded already (analysed by Rock Power).
176 - AnyEvent::Handle::push_read (line => did pass $1 directly, so
177 regex-matching inside the callback would change the parameter, despite
178 $1 being dynamically scoped per-block. this perl bug is now being
179 worked around (testcase by Cindy Wang).
180
1816.12 Mon Dec 12 13:21:10 CET 2011
182 - $! was clobbered by subsequent calls in tcp_connect, due to
183 the postpone not saving/restoring it (analyzed by Richard Garnish).
184
1856.11 Tue Nov 22 10:36:05 CET 2011
186 - Tk cannot create windows when tainted unless you set a title, so
187 set a dummy title for AnyEvent's dummy mainwindow. How dummy.
188 - escape any nonprintable/nonascii characters when stringifying
189 backtraces.
190 - log the reason loading an interface module fails to load at level debug.
191
1926.1 Tue Oct 4 19:44:30 CEST 2011
193 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
194 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
195 to higher log levels to print by default.
196 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
197 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
198 how that module sucks.
199 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
200 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
201 of 127.0.0.1).
202 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
203 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
204 - AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to.
205 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
206 intervals.
207 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
208 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
209 which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
210 delivery.
211 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
212 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
213 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
214 of the context as title.
215 - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback
216 died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging...
217 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
218 to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
219 to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
220 attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
221 AnyEvent.
222
2236.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
224 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
225 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
226 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
227 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
228 to work around.
229 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
230
2316.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011
10 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include 232 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
11 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve directly, 233 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
12 and ->request and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions 234 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
13 such as AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected. 235 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
236 AnyEvent::Socket.
14 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement 237 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
15 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll 238 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
16 methods. 239 methods.
240 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
241 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
17 - DEPRECIATION: please change 242 - DEPRECIATION: please change
18 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and 243 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and

257 a debug shell.
258 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
259 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
260 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
261 /etc/hosts can be found.
262 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
263 configuration.
264 - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
265 PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
266 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
267 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications of $_ by the callback
268 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
269 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
270 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
26 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl 271 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
27 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl). 272 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).

43 do not support blocking waits. 288 do not support blocking waits.
289 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
290 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
291 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.

296 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
297 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
298 - suppress the idiotic warning inside POE by patching the POE::Kernel
299 run flags instead of asking the user to jump through contortions.
300 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
301 - replace PF_UNSPEC by 0, for good old minix.
302
