18 - fix a crash bug in AnyEvent::Handle with openssl 1.1.0 (reported
19 by Paul Howarth and apparently tracked down by Mike McCauley).
20 - AnyEvent::Handle->keepalive was documented (and defined) twice
21 (found by Matt Merhar).
14 22
156.0 (not officially released) 237.13 Sat Sep 17 04:31:49 CEST 2016
24 - Only call tlsext_host_name for non-empty common names (reported
25 by Maxime Soulé).
26 - log a (single) notice message if SNI is not supported.
27 - upgrade to UTS-46:9.0.0 draft and switch to non-transitional
28 behaviour, beating thunderbird, ie, edge, chrome and safari to it :)
29 (see also https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1218179)
30 - turns out the UTS-46 IDNA testcase failures were indeed bugs in the
31 testcases and the specification and not in the code - the post-9.0.0
32 unicode files have all known problems fixed, so finally the AnyEvent
33 IDNA implementation can pass the full IDNA testsuite - without needing
34 a single fix :)
35 - guarantee (and document) that condvar callbacks will be removed
36 on invocation - important to avoid circular references.
37
387.12 Wed Jan 27 19:12:26 CET 2016
39 - use common name as hostname for tls connects, if Net::SSLeay
40 supports SNI.
41 - fix documentation of tls_autostart read type in AnyEvent::Handle,
42 analyzed by Felix Ostmann.
43
447.11 Thu Jul 16 14:36:00 CEST 2015
45 - AnyEvent::Socket::parse_ipv6 could accept malformed ipv6
46 addresses (extra "::" at end and similar cases).
47 - add a more explicit warning to AnyEvent::Handle that it doesn't
48 work on files, people keep getting confused.
49 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::tcp_bind.
50 - new functions AnyEvent::fh_block and AnyEvent::fh_unblock.
51 - aligned ipv6 address formatting with RFC 5952 (by not shortening
52 a single :0: to ::).
53 - added stability canary support.
54
557.09 Sat May 2 16:38:53 CEST 2015
56 - AnyEvent::Debug called an internal function (AnyEvent::Log::ft)
57 that was renamed to AnyEvent::Log:format_time. uinder its old name
58 (analyzed by Michael Stovenour).
59 - update AnyEvent::DNS fallback resolver addresses:
60 seems google effectively killed most other free dns resolvers,
61 so remove them, but add cable and wireless (ecrc) since it was
62 stable for 20 years or so, official or not, and there should be
63 an alternative to google.
64 - perl5porters broke windows error codes in 5.20, and mapped
65 WSAEWOULDBLOCK on the (different) EWOULDBLOCK error code, and
66 WSAEINPROGRESS into the incompatible ERINPROGRESS code, probably
67 because they were so cool. They probably broke other error codes
68 for no reason, too, but I didn't care for checking, it's too
69 depressing. This version only works around the WSAEWOULDBLOCK
70 issue, because I don't have a nice way to work around the
71 WSAEINPROGRESS bug.
72
737.08 Wed Dec 10 05:27:17 CET 2014
74 - work around a newly introduced bug in Socket 2.011 (an
75 errornous sun_length check) (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
76 - AnyEvent::TLS didn't load (but refer to) AnyEvent::Socket
77 (analyzed by Ben Magistro).
78 - AnyEvent::Strict will now confess, not croak. This is in line with
79 it being a development/debugging tool.
80 - work around a number of libglib bugs (debug builds of libglib enforce
81 certain undocumented behaviour patterns such as not being able to
82 remove a child watch source after it has fired, which we will try
83 to emulate to avoid "criticals". what where they thinking...).
84 - mention json security issues in AnyEvent::Handle, now that Douglas
85 Crockford has foolishly and incompatibly changed JSON.
86 - changed default dns resolver "max_outstanding" value from 1 to 10,
87 the latter beinfg the intended value all along
88 (reported by Ilya Chesnokov).
89 - added new "AnyEvent::Impl::UV" interface module to the UV event lib
90 (written by Mike Lowell).
91
927.07 Tue Dec 17 17:45:02 CET 2013
93 - the documentation for custom tls verify schemes was wrong. make it agree
94 with the code (reported by Maxime Soulé).
95 - added cbor read and write types to AnyEvent::Handle (using CBOR::XS).
96 - work around an API change in openssl that could cause wrong tls connection
97 aborts, likely on windows only (analyzed by sten).
98 - calling AnyEvent->now_update with AnyEvent::Impl::Perl caused an
99 endless loop (reported by Dietrich Rebmann).
100 - add tlsv1_1 and tlsv1_2 protocols to AnyEvent::TLS
101 (patch by Maxime Soulé).
102 - document AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync::set_loop and
103 $AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync::LOOP. Though only documented now, this
104 functionality has _always_ been available.
105 - force a toplevel domain name in t/81_hosts.t (analyzed by
106 David Jack Wange Olrik).
107 - document that AnyEvent::Log uses AnyEvent::IO.
108 - warn about AnyEvent::Filesys::Notify performance.
109 - praise the joys of AnyEvent::Fork::*.
110 - time for an =encoding directive.
111 - do no longer use JSON to create a default json coder, use
112 JSON::XS or JSON::PP directly.
113
1147.05 Wed Aug 21 10:38:08 CEST 2013
115 - uts46data.pl couldn't be found due to wrong naming of the file
116 (reported by Fulko Hew).
117 - handle lone \015's properly in AE::Handle's default line read
118 (reported by various people).
119 - untaint ip addresses found in /etc/hosts (patch by José Micó).
120 - the memleak fix in 7.03 caused resolving via /etc/hosts to always
121 fail on first use (reported and testcase by Andrew Whatson).
122 - expose AnyEvent::Log::format_time, and allow users to redefine it.
123 - expose AnyEvent::Log::default_format, and allow redefinition.
124 - expose AnyEvent::Log::fatal_exit, to allow redefinition.
125 - AnyEvent::Debug shell can now run coro shell commands, if available.
126 - t/63* tests were wrongly in MANIFEST.
127 - kernel.org's finger server went MIA, switch to freebsd.org and
128 icculus.org.
129 - clarify that IO::AIO and AnyEvent::AIO are needed for AnyEvent::IO
130 to function asynchronously (reported by Daniel Carosone).
131 - hard-disable $^W in most tests, it generates too much garbage output.
132 - use a (hopefully) more future-proof method to emulate common::sense.
133 - upgrade to UTS-46:6.2.0.
134 - switch to INSTLIB from INSTLIBDIR, as INSTLIBDIR was wrongly
135 documented. should not affect anything.
136
1377.04 Thu Nov 15 02:23:58 CET 2012
138 - debugging code left in.
139
1407.03 Thu Nov 15 02:16:11 CET 2012
141 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton did not work when dns resolution was
142 used to find the addresses (analyzed and patch by Maxime Soulé).
143 - fix a memory leak in the /etc/hosts lookup code when hosts don't
144 resolve and are not in hosts (analyzed by sten).
145
1467.02 Tue Aug 14 04:27:58 CEST 2012
147 - AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd could block indefinitely (analyzed and test
148 program by Yorhel).
149 - verified that AnyEvent::Socket follows RFC5952.
150 - try to parse "ADDR#PORT" in addition to "ADDR PORT".
151
1527.01 Sun May 13 01:03:17 CEST 2012
153 - fail with EPROTO in AnyEvent::Handle wqhen TLS is requested but
154 not available, instead of throwing an exception.
155 - use File::Spec to get the tmpdir in t/*, to avoid needless
156 failures on (most, not mine :) windows boxes.
157 - new handle read types: tls_detect and tls_autostart.
158
1597.0 Fri Apr 13 06:33:30 CEST 2012
160 - child watchers are broken in POE 1.352 (also many earlier
161 versions) and there seems to be no way to work around it, as POE
162 itself is inherently racy. Document this regression and add a delay
163 in t/68_poe_03_child.t for the time being.
164 - new module AnyEvent::IO, that is a frontend to either a pure-perl
165 synchronous I/O implementation (AnyEvent::IO::Perl), or to the
166 asynchronous I/O extension IO::AIO (AnyEvent::IO::IOAIO).
167 - load /etc/hosts only when DNS has no answer.
168 - stat /etc/hosts on every access and reload it if it changed.
169 - load /etc/hosts via AnyEvent::IO - potentially asynchronous.
170 - fix a buggy croak in the dh parameter reading in AnyEvent::TLS.
171 - AnyEvent::Log log_to_file and log_to_path now use AnyEvent::IO. As
172 a side effect, they now use true appending as opposed to libc
173 appending, and the file might not have been opened when the function
174 returns.
175 - the default logging level was not properly documented in a variety of
176 places, this has hopefully been rectified.
177 - updated uts46data.pl for unicode 6.1.0.
178 - made log messages generated by AnyEvent submodules not
179 include the package name anymore, as it will be logged
180 by default already.
181 - upgrade to the trick used by common-sense 3.5 to work
182 around extra warning torture/breakage under perl 5.15.x.
183 - log messages by anyevent are now ucfirst, are usually full
184 sentences and do no longer include the package name.
185 - the storable read type would sometimes throw an exception instead
186 of causing EBADMSG (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
187 - work around a bug in openssl 1.0.1 which enforces a minimum rsa
188 keysize (reported by Paul Howarth).
189 - documented Rocco fabricating statements about AnyEvent and me.
190
1916.14 Tue Jan 31 20:00:24 CET 2012
192 - AnyEvent::Impl::Tk was broken due to a mysterious "die" inside,
193 probably an editing mistake (reported by Darin McBride).
194
1956.13 Thu Jan 12 07:27:01 CET 2012
196 - AnyEvent::Util::fork_call checked for POSIX availability in the wrong way,
197 causing it to fail if POSIX wasn't loaded already (analysed by Rock Power).
198 - AnyEvent::Handle::push_read (line => did pass $1 directly, so
199 regex-matching inside the callback would change the parameter, despite
200 $1 being dynamically scoped per-block. this perl bug is now being
201 worked around (testcase by Cindy Wang).
202
2036.12 Mon Dec 12 13:21:10 CET 2011
204 - $! was clobbered by subsequent calls in tcp_connect, due to
205 the postpone not saving/restoring it (analyzed by Richard Garnish).
206
2076.11 Tue Nov 22 10:36:05 CET 2011
208 - Tk cannot create windows when tainted unless you set a title, so
209 set a dummy title for AnyEvent's dummy mainwindow. How dummy.
210 - escape any nonprintable/nonascii characters when stringifying
211 backtraces.
212 - log the reason loading an interface module fails to load at level debug.
213
2146.1 Tue Oct 4 19:44:30 CEST 2011
215 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
216 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
217 to higher log levels to print by default.
218 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
219 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
220 how that module sucks.
221 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
222 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
223 of 127.0.0.1).
224 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
225 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
226 - AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to.
227 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
228 intervals.
229 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
230 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
231 which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
232 delivery.
233 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
234 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
235 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
236 of the context as title.
237 - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback
238 died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging...
239 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
240 to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
241 to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
242 attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
243 AnyEvent.
244
2456.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
246 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
247 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
248 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
249 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
250 to work around.
251 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
252
2536.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011
16 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include 254 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
17 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve directly, 255 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request

20 is AnyEvent::Socket. 258 AnyEvent::Socket.
21 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement 259 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
22 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll 260 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
23 methods. 261 methods.
262 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
263 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
