14
15 - AnyEvent::Socket::parse_ipv6 would NOT, as advertised, accept ipv4
16 addresses. It now does and converts them to ipv4 mapped addresses.
17
187.14 Sat Jun 24 01:44:19 CEST 2017
19 - fix a crash bug in AnyEvent::Handle with openssl 1.1.0 (patched
20 by Paul Howarth and apparently tracked down by Mike McCauley).
21 - AnyEvent::Handle->keepalive was documented (and defined) twice
22 (found by Matt Merhar).
23 - AnyEvent::Socket::tcp_bind/tcp_server would immediately unlink a unix
24 listening socket unless a guard is used. Change this so that no
25 cleanup will be performed unless a guard is used and document this more
26 clearly.
27 - make tcp_bind/tcp_server error messages more regular.
28 - work around latest perl upstream breakage - this time, perl5porters were
29 apparently bullied by a bogus CVE (CVE-2016-1238), and since distros
30 stupidly apply anything that has "security fix" stamped on it, it's likely
31 going to be a problem in practise (and working around it is trivial on
32 windows and unix).
33 - add TCP_FASTOPEN/MSG_FASTOPEN and MSG_NOSIGNAL/MSG_MORE/MSG_DONTWAIT
34 to constants.
35 - update warnings to common::sense 3.74 standards.
36
377.13 Sat Sep 17 04:31:49 CEST 2016
38 - Only call tlsext_host_name for non-empty common names (reported
39 by Maxime Soulé).
40 - log a (single) notice message if SNI is not supported.
41 - upgrade to UTS-46:9.0.0 draft and switch to non-transitional
42 behaviour, beating thunderbird, ie, edge, chrome and safari to it :)
43 (see also https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1218179)
44 - turns out the UTS-46 IDNA testcase failures were indeed bugs in the
45 testcases and the specification and not in the code - the post-9.0.0
46 unicode files have all known problems fixed, so finally the AnyEvent
47 IDNA implementation can pass the full IDNA testsuite - without needing
48 a single fix :)
49 - guarantee (and document) that condvar callbacks will be removed
50 on invocation - important to avoid circular references.
51
527.12 Wed Jan 27 19:12:26 CET 2016
53 - use common name as hostname for tls connects, if Net::SSLeay
54 supports SNI.
55 - fix documentation of tls_autostart read type in AnyEvent::Handle,
56 analyzed by Felix Ostmann.
57
587.11 Thu Jul 16 14:36:00 CEST 2015
59 - AnyEvent::Socket::parse_ipv6 could accept malformed ipv6
60 addresses (extra "::" at end and similar cases).
61 - add a more explicit warning to AnyEvent::Handle that it doesn't
62 work on files, people keep getting confused.
63 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::tcp_bind.
64 - new functions AnyEvent::fh_block and AnyEvent::fh_unblock.
65 - aligned ipv6 address formatting with RFC 5952 (by not shortening
66 a single :0: to ::).
67 - added stability canary support.
68
697.09 Sat May 2 16:38:53 CEST 2015
70 - AnyEvent::Debug called an internal function (AnyEvent::Log::ft)
71 that was renamed to AnyEvent::Log:format_time. uinder its old name
72 (analyzed by Michael Stovenour).
73 - update AnyEvent::DNS fallback resolver addresses:
74 seems google effectively killed most other free dns resolvers,
75 so remove them, but add cable and wireless (ecrc) since it was
76 stable for 20 years or so, official or not, and there should be
77 an alternative to google.
78 - perl5porters broke windows error codes in 5.20, and mapped
79 WSAEWOULDBLOCK on the (different) EWOULDBLOCK error code, and
80 WSAEINPROGRESS into the incompatible ERINPROGRESS code, probably
81 because they were so cool. They probably broke other error codes
82 for no reason, too, but I didn't care for checking, it's too
83 depressing. This version only works around the WSAEWOULDBLOCK
84 issue, because I don't have a nice way to work around the
85 WSAEINPROGRESS bug.
86
877.08 Wed Dec 10 05:27:17 CET 2014
88 - work around a newly introduced bug in Socket 2.011 (an
89 errornous sun_length check) (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
90 - AnyEvent::TLS didn't load (but refer to) AnyEvent::Socket
91 (analyzed by Ben Magistro).
92 - AnyEvent::Strict will now confess, not croak. This is in line with
93 it being a development/debugging tool.
94 - work around a number of libglib bugs (debug builds of libglib enforce
95 certain undocumented behaviour patterns such as not being able to
96 remove a child watch source after it has fired, which we will try
97 to emulate to avoid "criticals". what where they thinking...).
98 - mention json security issues in AnyEvent::Handle, now that Douglas
99 Crockford has foolishly and incompatibly changed JSON.
100 - changed default dns resolver "max_outstanding" value from 1 to 10,
101 the latter beinfg the intended value all along
102 (reported by Ilya Chesnokov).
103 - added new "AnyEvent::Impl::UV" interface module to the UV event lib
104 (written by Mike Lowell).
105
1067.07 Tue Dec 17 17:45:02 CET 2013
107 - the documentation for custom tls verify schemes was wrong. make it agree
108 with the code (reported by Maxime Soulé).
109 - added cbor read and write types to AnyEvent::Handle (using CBOR::XS).
110 - work around an API change in openssl that could cause wrong tls connection
111 aborts, likely on windows only (analyzed by sten).
112 - calling AnyEvent->now_update with AnyEvent::Impl::Perl caused an
113 endless loop (reported by Dietrich Rebmann).
114 - add tlsv1_1 and tlsv1_2 protocols to AnyEvent::TLS
115 (patch by Maxime Soulé).
116 - document AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync::set_loop and
117 $AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync::LOOP. Though only documented now, this
118 functionality has _always_ been available.
119 - force a toplevel domain name in t/81_hosts.t (analyzed by
120 David Jack Wange Olrik).
121 - document that AnyEvent::Log uses AnyEvent::IO.
122 - warn about AnyEvent::Filesys::Notify performance.
123 - praise the joys of AnyEvent::Fork::*.
124 - time for an =encoding directive.
125 - do no longer use JSON to create a default json coder, use
126 JSON::XS or JSON::PP directly.
127
1287.05 Wed Aug 21 10:38:08 CEST 2013
129 - uts46data.pl couldn't be found due to wrong naming of the file
130 (reported by Fulko Hew).
131 - handle lone \015's properly in AE::Handle's default line read
132 (reported by various people).
133 - untaint ip addresses found in /etc/hosts (patch by José Micó).
134 - the memleak fix in 7.03 caused resolving via /etc/hosts to always
135 fail on first use (reported and testcase by Andrew Whatson).
136 - expose AnyEvent::Log::format_time, and allow users to redefine it.
137 - expose AnyEvent::Log::default_format, and allow redefinition.
138 - expose AnyEvent::Log::fatal_exit, to allow redefinition.
139 - AnyEvent::Debug shell can now run coro shell commands, if available.
140 - t/63* tests were wrongly in MANIFEST.
141 - kernel.org's finger server went MIA, switch to freebsd.org and
142 icculus.org.
143 - clarify that IO::AIO and AnyEvent::AIO are needed for AnyEvent::IO
144 to function asynchronously (reported by Daniel Carosone).
145 - hard-disable $^W in most tests, it generates too much garbage output.
146 - use a (hopefully) more future-proof method to emulate common::sense.
147 - upgrade to UTS-46:6.2.0.
148 - switch to INSTLIB from INSTLIBDIR, as INSTLIBDIR was wrongly
149 documented. should not affect anything.
150
1517.04 Thu Nov 15 02:23:58 CET 2012
152 - debugging code left in.
153
1547.03 Thu Nov 15 02:16:11 CET 2012
155 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton did not work when dns resolution was
156 used to find the addresses (analyzed and patch by Maxime Soulé).
157 - fix a memory leak in the /etc/hosts lookup code when hosts don't
158 resolve and are not in hosts (analyzed by sten).
159
1607.02 Tue Aug 14 04:27:58 CEST 2012
161 - AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd could block indefinitely (analyzed and test
162 program by Yorhel).
163 - verified that AnyEvent::Socket follows RFC5952.
164 - try to parse "ADDR#PORT" in addition to "ADDR PORT".
165
1667.01 Sun May 13 01:03:17 CEST 2012
167 - fail with EPROTO in AnyEvent::Handle wqhen TLS is requested but
168 not available, instead of throwing an exception.
169 - use File::Spec to get the tmpdir in t/*, to avoid needless
170 failures on (most, not mine :) windows boxes.
171 - new handle read types: tls_detect and tls_autostart.
172
1737.0 Fri Apr 13 06:33:30 CEST 2012
174 - child watchers are broken in POE 1.352 (also many earlier
175 versions) and there seems to be no way to work around it, as POE
176 itself is inherently racy. Document this regression and add a delay
177 in t/68_poe_03_child.t for the time being.
178 - new module AnyEvent::IO, that is a frontend to either a pure-perl
179 synchronous I/O implementation (AnyEvent::IO::Perl), or to the
180 asynchronous I/O extension IO::AIO (AnyEvent::IO::IOAIO).
181 - load /etc/hosts only when DNS has no answer.
182 - stat /etc/hosts on every access and reload it if it changed.
183 - load /etc/hosts via AnyEvent::IO - potentially asynchronous.
184 - fix a buggy croak in the dh parameter reading in AnyEvent::TLS.
185 - AnyEvent::Log log_to_file and log_to_path now use AnyEvent::IO. As
186 a side effect, they now use true appending as opposed to libc
187 appending, and the file might not have been opened when the function
188 returns.
189 - the default logging level was not properly documented in a variety of
190 places, this has hopefully been rectified.
191 - updated uts46data.pl for unicode 6.1.0.
192 - made log messages generated by AnyEvent submodules not
193 include the package name anymore, as it will be logged
194 by default already.
195 - upgrade to the trick used by common-sense 3.5 to work
196 around extra warning torture/breakage under perl 5.15.x.
197 - log messages by anyevent are now ucfirst, are usually full
198 sentences and do no longer include the package name.
199 - the storable read type would sometimes throw an exception instead
200 of causing EBADMSG (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
201 - work around a bug in openssl 1.0.1 which enforces a minimum rsa
202 keysize (reported by Paul Howarth).
203 - documented Rocco fabricating statements about AnyEvent and me.
204
2056.14 Tue Jan 31 20:00:24 CET 2012
206 - AnyEvent::Impl::Tk was broken due to a mysterious "die" inside,
207 probably an editing mistake (reported by Darin McBride).
208
2096.13 Thu Jan 12 07:27:01 CET 2012
210 - AnyEvent::Util::fork_call checked for POSIX availability in the wrong way,
211 causing it to fail if POSIX wasn't loaded already (analysed by Rock Power).
212 - AnyEvent::Handle::push_read (line => did pass $1 directly, so
213 regex-matching inside the callback would change the parameter, despite
214 $1 being dynamically scoped per-block. this perl bug is now being
215 worked around (testcase by Cindy Wang).
216
2176.12 Mon Dec 12 13:21:10 CET 2011
218 - $! was clobbered by subsequent calls in tcp_connect, due to
219 the postpone not saving/restoring it (analyzed by Richard Garnish).
220
2216.11 Tue Nov 22 10:36:05 CET 2011
222 - Tk cannot create windows when tainted unless you set a title, so
223 set a dummy title for AnyEvent's dummy mainwindow. How dummy.
224 - escape any nonprintable/nonascii characters when stringifying
225 backtraces.
226 - log the reason loading an interface module fails to load at level debug.
227
2286.1 Tue Oct 4 19:44:30 CEST 2011
229 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
230 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
231 to higher log levels to print by default.
232 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
233 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
234 how that module sucks.
235 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
236 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
237 of 127.0.0.1).
238 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
239 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
240 - AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to.
241 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
242 intervals.
243 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
244 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
245 which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
246 delivery.
247 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
248 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
249 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
250 of the context as title.
251 - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback
252 died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging...
253 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
254 to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
255 to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
256 attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
257 AnyEvent.
