16TODO: check that uts46/unicode 9.0.0 is released
17 - Only call tlsext_host_name for non-empty common names (reported
18 by Maxime Soulé).
19 - log a (single) notice message if SNI is not supported.
20 - upgrade to UTS-46:9.0.0 draft and switch to non-transitional
21 behaviour, beating thunderbird, ie, edge, chrome and safari to it :)
22 (see also https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1218179)
23 - turns out the UTS-46 IDNA testcase failures were indeed bugs in the
24 testcases and the specification and not in the code - the post-9.0.0
25 unicode files have all known problems fixed, so finally the AnyEvent
26 IDNA implementation can pass the full IDNA testsuite - without needing
27 a single fix :)
28 - guarantee (and document) that condvar callbacks will be removed
29 on invocation - important to avoid circular references.
30
317.12 Wed Jan 27 19:12:26 CET 2016
32 - use common name as hostname for tls connects, if Net::SSLeay
33 supports SNI.
34 - fix documentation of tls_autostart read type in AnyEvent::Handle,
35 analyzed by Felix Ostmann.
36
377.11 Thu Jul 16 14:36:00 CEST 2015
38 - AnyEvent::Socket::parse_ipv6 could accept malformed ipv6
39 addresses (extra "::" at end and similar cases).
40 - add a more explicit warning to AnyEvent::Handle that it doesn't
41 work on files, people keep getting confused.
42 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::tcp_bind.
43 - new functions AnyEvent::fh_block and AnyEvent::fh_unblock.
44 - aligned ipv6 address formatting with RFC 5952 (by not shortening
45 a single :0: to ::).
46 - added stability canary support.
47
487.09 Sat May 2 16:38:53 CEST 2015
49 - AnyEvent::Debug called an internal function (AnyEvent::Log::ft)
50 that was renamed to AnyEvent::Log:format_time. uinder its old name
51 (analyzed by Michael Stovenour).
52 - update AnyEvent::DNS fallback resolver addresses:
53 seems google effectively killed most other free dns resolvers,
54 so remove them, but add cable and wireless (ecrc) since it was
55 stable for 20 years or so, official or not, and there should be
56 an alternative to google.
57 - perl5porters broke windows error codes in 5.20, and mapped
58 WSAEWOULDBLOCK on the (different) EWOULDBLOCK error code, and
59 WSAEINPROGRESS into the incompatible ERINPROGRESS code, probably
60 because they were so cool. They probably broke other error codes
61 for no reason, too, but I didn't care for checking, it's too
62 depressing. This version only works around the WSAEWOULDBLOCK
63 issue, because I don't have a nice way to work around the
64 WSAEINPROGRESS bug.
65
667.08 Wed Dec 10 05:27:17 CET 2014
67 - work around a newly introduced bug in Socket 2.011 (an
68 errornous sun_length check) (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
69 - AnyEvent::TLS didn't load (but refer to) AnyEvent::Socket
70 (analyzed by Ben Magistro).
71 - AnyEvent::Strict will now confess, not croak. This is in line with
72 it being a development/debugging tool.
73 - work around a number of libglib bugs (debug builds of libglib enforce
74 certain undocumented behaviour patterns such as not being able to
75 remove a child watch source after it has fired, which we will try
76 to emulate to avoid "criticals". what where they thinking...).
77 - mention json security issues in AnyEvent::Handle, now that Douglas
78 Crockford has foolishly and incompatibly changed JSON.
79 - changed default dns resolver "max_outstanding" value from 1 to 10,
80 the latter beinfg the intended value all along
81 (reported by Ilya Chesnokov).
82 - added new "AnyEvent::Impl::UV" interface module to the UV event lib
83 (written by Mike Lowell).
84
857.07 Tue Dec 17 17:45:02 CET 2013
86 - the documentation for custom tls verify schemes was wrong. make it agree
87 with the code (reported by Maxime Soulé).
88 - added cbor read and write types to AnyEvent::Handle (using CBOR::XS).
89 - work around an API change in openssl that could cause wrong tls connection
90 aborts, likely on windows only (analyzed by sten).
91 - calling AnyEvent->now_update with AnyEvent::Impl::Perl caused an
92 endless loop (reported by Dietrich Rebmann).
93 - add tlsv1_1 and tlsv1_2 protocols to AnyEvent::TLS
94 (patch by Maxime Soulé).
95 - document AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync::set_loop and
96 $AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync::LOOP. Though only documented now, this
97 functionality has _always_ been available.
98 - force a toplevel domain name in t/81_hosts.t (analyzed by
99 David Jack Wange Olrik).
100 - document that AnyEvent::Log uses AnyEvent::IO.
101 - warn about AnyEvent::Filesys::Notify performance.
102 - praise the joys of AnyEvent::Fork::*.
103 - time for an =encoding directive.
104 - do no longer use JSON to create a default json coder, use
105 JSON::XS or JSON::PP directly.
106
1077.05 Wed Aug 21 10:38:08 CEST 2013
108 - uts46data.pl couldn't be found due to wrong naming of the file
109 (reported by Fulko Hew).
110 - handle lone \015's properly in AE::Handle's default line read
111 (reported by various people).
112 - untaint ip addresses found in /etc/hosts (patch by José Micó).
113 - the memleak fix in 7.03 caused resolving via /etc/hosts to always
114 fail on first use (reported and testcase by Andrew Whatson).
115 - expose AnyEvent::Log::format_time, and allow users to redefine it.
116 - expose AnyEvent::Log::default_format, and allow redefinition.
117 - expose AnyEvent::Log::fatal_exit, to allow redefinition.
118 - AnyEvent::Debug shell can now run coro shell commands, if available.
119 - t/63* tests were wrongly in MANIFEST.
120 - kernel.org's finger server went MIA, switch to freebsd.org and
121 icculus.org.
122 - clarify that IO::AIO and AnyEvent::AIO are needed for AnyEvent::IO
123 to function asynchronously (reported by Daniel Carosone).
124 - hard-disable $^W in most tests, it generates too much garbage output.
125 - use a (hopefully) more future-proof method to emulate common::sense.
126 - upgrade to UTS-46:6.2.0.
127 - switch to INSTLIB from INSTLIBDIR, as INSTLIBDIR was wrongly
128 documented. should not affect anything.
129
1307.04 Thu Nov 15 02:23:58 CET 2012
131 - debugging code left in.
132
1337.03 Thu Nov 15 02:16:11 CET 2012
134 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton did not work when dns resolution was
135 used to find the addresses (analyzed and patch by Maxime Soulé).
136 - fix a memory leak in the /etc/hosts lookup code when hosts don't
137 resolve and are not in hosts (analyzed by sten).
138
1397.02 Tue Aug 14 04:27:58 CEST 2012
140 - AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd could block indefinitely (analyzed and test
141 program by Yorhel).
142 - verified that AnyEvent::Socket follows RFC5952.
143 - try to parse "ADDR#PORT" in addition to "ADDR PORT".
144
1457.01 Sun May 13 01:03:17 CEST 2012
146 - fail with EPROTO in AnyEvent::Handle wqhen TLS is requested but
147 not available, instead of throwing an exception.
148 - use File::Spec to get the tmpdir in t/*, to avoid needless
149 failures on (most, not mine :) windows boxes.
150 - new handle read types: tls_detect and tls_autostart.
151
1527.0 Fri Apr 13 06:33:30 CEST 2012
153 - child watchers are broken in POE 1.352 (also many earlier
154 versions) and there seems to be no way to work around it, as POE
155 itself is inherently racy. Document this regression and add a delay
156 in t/68_poe_03_child.t for the time being.
157 - new module AnyEvent::IO, that is a frontend to either a pure-perl
158 synchronous I/O implementation (AnyEvent::IO::Perl), or to the
159 asynchronous I/O extension IO::AIO (AnyEvent::IO::IOAIO).
160 - load /etc/hosts only when DNS has no answer.
161 - stat /etc/hosts on every access and reload it if it changed.
162 - load /etc/hosts via AnyEvent::IO - potentially asynchronous.
163 - fix a buggy croak in the dh parameter reading in AnyEvent::TLS.
164 - AnyEvent::Log log_to_file and log_to_path now use AnyEvent::IO. As
165 a side effect, they now use true appending as opposed to libc
166 appending, and the file might not have been opened when the function
167 returns.
168 - the default logging level was not properly documented in a variety of
169 places, this has hopefully been rectified.
170 - updated uts46data.pl for unicode 6.1.0.
171 - made log messages generated by AnyEvent submodules not
172 include the package name anymore, as it will be logged
173 by default already.
174 - upgrade to the trick used by common-sense 3.5 to work
175 around extra warning torture/breakage under perl 5.15.x.
176 - log messages by anyevent are now ucfirst, are usually full
177 sentences and do no longer include the package name.
178 - the storable read type would sometimes throw an exception instead
179 of causing EBADMSG (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
180 - work around a bug in openssl 1.0.1 which enforces a minimum rsa
181 keysize (reported by Paul Howarth).
182 - documented Rocco fabricating statements about AnyEvent and me.
183
1846.14 Tue Jan 31 20:00:24 CET 2012
185 - AnyEvent::Impl::Tk was broken due to a mysterious "die" inside,
186 probably an editing mistake (reported by Darin McBride).
187
1886.13 Thu Jan 12 07:27:01 CET 2012
189 - AnyEvent::Util::fork_call checked for POSIX availability in the wrong way,
190 causing it to fail if POSIX wasn't loaded already (analysed by Rock Power).
191 - AnyEvent::Handle::push_read (line => did pass $1 directly, so
192 regex-matching inside the callback would change the parameter, despite
193 $1 being dynamically scoped per-block. this perl bug is now being
194 worked around (testcase by Cindy Wang).
195
1966.12 Mon Dec 12 13:21:10 CET 2011
197 - $! was clobbered by subsequent calls in tcp_connect, due to
198 the postpone not saving/restoring it (analyzed by Richard Garnish).
199
2006.11 Tue Nov 22 10:36:05 CET 2011
201 - Tk cannot create windows when tainted unless you set a title, so
202 set a dummy title for AnyEvent's dummy mainwindow. How dummy.
203 - escape any nonprintable/nonascii characters when stringifying
204 backtraces.
205 - log the reason loading an interface module fails to load at level debug.
206
2076.1 Tue Oct 4 19:44:30 CEST 2011
208 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
209 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
210 to higher log levels to print by default.
211 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
212 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
213 how that module sucks.
214 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
215 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
216 of 127.0.0.1).
217 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
218 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
219 - AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to.
220 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
221 intervals.
222 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
223 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
224 which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
225 delivery.
226 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
227 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
228 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
229 of the context as title.
230 - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback
231 died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging...
232 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
233 to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
234 to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
235 attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
236 AnyEvent.
237
2386.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
239 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
240 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
241 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
242 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
243 to work around.
244 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
245
2466.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011
247 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
248 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
249 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
250 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
251 AnyEvent::Socket.
252 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
253 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
254 methods.
255 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
256 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
257 - DEPRECIATION: please change
258 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
259 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
260 in your programs, for future compatibility.
261 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
262 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
263 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
264 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
265 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
266 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
267 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
268 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
269 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
270 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
271 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
272 a debug shell.
273 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
274 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
275 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
276 /etc/hosts can be found.
277 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
278 configuration.
279 - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
280 PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
281 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
282 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications of $_ by the callback
283 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
284 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
285 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
286 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
287 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
288 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
289 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
290 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
291 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
292 supports /etc/hosts overrides.
293 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
294 and (newly introduced) in POE.
295 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
296 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
297 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
298 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
299 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
300 (reported by Gerald Galster).
301 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
302 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
303 do not support blocking waits.
304 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
305 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
306 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
307 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
308 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
309 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
310 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
311 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
312 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
313 - suppress the idiotic warning inside POE by patching the POE::Kernel
314 run flags instead of asking the user to jump through contortions.
315 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
316 - replace PF_UNSPEC by 0, for good old minix.
317
3186.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)
319
3205.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
321 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
322 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
323 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
324
3255.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
326 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
327 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
328 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
329 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
330 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
331 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
332 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
333 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
334 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
335 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
336 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
337 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
338 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
339
3405.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
341 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
342 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
343 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
344 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
345 documentation for caveats.
346 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
347 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
348 AnyEvent::Handle).
349 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
350 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
351
3525.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
