76.01
8 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
9 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
10 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
11 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
12 AnyEvent::Socket.
13 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
14 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
15 methods.
16 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
17 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
18 - DEPRECIATION: please change
19 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
20 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
21 in your programs, for future compatibility.
22 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
23 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
24 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
25 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
26 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
27 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
28 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
29 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
30 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
31 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
32 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
33 a debug shell.
34 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
35 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
36 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
37 F</etc/hosts> can be found.
38 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
39 configuration.
40 - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
41 PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
42 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
43 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications $_ by the callback
44 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
45 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
46 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
47 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
48 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
49 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
50 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
51 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
52 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
53 supports /etc/hosts overrides.
54 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
55 and (newly introduced) in POE.
56 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
57 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
58 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
59 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
60 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
61 (reported by Gerald Galster).
62 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
63 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
64 do not support blocking waits.
65 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
66 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
67 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
68 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
69 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
70 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
71 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
72 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
73 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
74 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
75
766.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)
77
785.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
79 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
80 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
81 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
82
835.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
84 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
85 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
86 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
87 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
88 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
89 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
90 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
91 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
92 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
93 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
94 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
95 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
96 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
97
985.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
99 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
100 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
101 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
102 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
103 documentation for caveats.
104 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
105 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
106 AnyEvent::Handle).
107 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
108 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
109
1105.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
111 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
112 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
113 the availabilty of a default loop!
114 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
115 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
116 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
117 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
118 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
119 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
120 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
121 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
122
1235.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
124 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
125 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
126 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
127 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
128 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
129 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
130 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
131 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
132 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
133 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
134 as part of the perl core.
135 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
136 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
137 minimal perl...).
138
1395.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
140 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
141 actually used in tcp_server.
142 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
143 missing.
144 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
145 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
146 resulting in more informative error messages.
147 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
148 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
149 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
150 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
151 of AnyEvent::TLS.
152 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
153 requested by Ron Isaacson.
154 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
155 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
156 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
157 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
158 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
159
1605.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
161 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
162
1635.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
164 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
165 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
166 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
167 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
168 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
169 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
170 - better/more condvar examples.
171
1725.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
173 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
174 time (found by Andy Grundman).
175
1765.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
177 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
178 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
179 by Bas Denissen).
180 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
181 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
182 EV and Perl backends.
183 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
184 backends.
185 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
186 never documented nor universally supported).
187 - some more memory µ-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
188 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
189
1905.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
191 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
192 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
193 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
194
1955.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
196 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
197 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
198 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
199 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
200 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
201 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
202 by lucky accident on win32.
203 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
204 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
205 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
206 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
207 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
208 detection and eval.
209 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
210 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
211 (same algorithm as EV).
212 - update unicode idna mapping table.
213
2145.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
215 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
216 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
217 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
218 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
219
2205.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
221 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
222 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
223 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
224 - provide $AE::VERSION.
225 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
226
2275.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
228 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
229 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
230 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
231 when passing scalar data to extensions).
232 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
233 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
234 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
235 (John Beppu).
236 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
237 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
238 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
239 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
240
2415.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
242 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
243 (spotted by David Friedland).
244 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
245 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
246 unless you rip out everything but the core).
247 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
248 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
249
2505.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
251 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
252 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
253 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
254 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
255 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
256
2575.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
258 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
259 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
260 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
261 (analysed by elmex).
262
2635.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
264 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
265 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
266 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
267 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
268 AnyEvent::Handle.
269 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
270 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
271 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
272 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
273
2745.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
275 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
276 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
277 by Michael S. Fischer).
278 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
279 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
280 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
281 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
282 by default.
283 - fix some prototypes.
284 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
285 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
286
2875.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
288 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
289 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
290 - port to broken win32 perls.
291
2925.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
293 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
294 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
295 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
296 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
297 OSes as well).
298
2995.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
300 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
301 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
302 to reduce dependency on JSON.
303
3045.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
305 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
306 one (was broken since 4.91).
307 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
308 when retrying a tcp_connect.
309 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
310 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
311
3125.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
313 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
314
3155.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
316 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
317 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
318 in AnyEvent::Handle.
319 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
320 settings.
321 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
322 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
323 exporting the probe function).
324 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
325 code to work around it's watcher limits.
326 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
327 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
328 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
329 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
330 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
331
3324.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
333 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
334 already contains some TLS handshake.
335 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
336 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
337 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
338 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
339 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
340
3414.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
342 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
343 a negative value, so avoid that.
344 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
345 after the condition is already signalled.
346 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
347 data.
348 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
349 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
350 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
351 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
352 any issues).
353 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
354 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
355 by name (not name or number).
356 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
357 only compiling signal code when necessary.
358 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
359 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
360 said future/alternative API.
361 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
362
3634.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
364 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
365 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
366 (analysed by elmex).
367
3684.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
369 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
370 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
371 for errors after every push_write etc.
372 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
373 platforms.
374
3754.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
376 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
377 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
378 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
379 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
380 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
381 tutorial accordingly.
382 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
383
3844.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
385 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
386 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
387 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
388 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
389 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
390 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
391 in IO::Async.
392
3934.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
394 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
395 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
396 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
397 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
398 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
399 documentation.
400 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
401 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
402 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
403 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
404 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
405 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
406
4074.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
408 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
409 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
410 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
411 this trap.
412 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
413 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
414 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
415 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
416 on_read callbacks.
417 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
418
4194.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
420 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
421 callbacks.
422 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
423 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
424 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
425 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
426 Event::Lib.
427 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
428 to rarely fail.
429
4304.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
431 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
432 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
433 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
434 in AnyEvent->io.
435 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
436 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
437 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
438 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
439 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
440 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
441 portable_socketpair.
442 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
443 YMMV.
444
4454.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
446 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
447 uppercase targets.
448 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
449 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
450 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
451 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
452 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
453 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
454 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
455 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
456 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
457 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
458 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
459 in the common case.
460 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
461 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
462 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
463 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
464 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
465 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
466 from the constructor.
467 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
468 then fall back to JSON.
469 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
470 and because it was documented that way.
471
4724.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
473 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
474 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
475
4764.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
477 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
478 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
479 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
480 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
481 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
482 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
483 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
484 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
485 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
486
4874.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
488 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
489 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
490 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
491 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
492 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
493
4944.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
495 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
496 and set it on the default resolver.
497 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
498 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
499 when running in tainted mode.
500 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
501
5024.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
503 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
504
5054.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
506 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
507 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
508 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
509 destructors.
510 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
511 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
512 implementation.
513 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
514 for cosmetic reasons.
515
5164.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
517 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
518 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
519 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
520 - sped up Tk timer handling.
521 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
522 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
523 - fix Qt timers without interval.
524 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
525
5264.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
527 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
528 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
529 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
530
5314.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
532 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
533 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
534 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
535 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
536
5374.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
538 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
539 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
540 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
541 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
542 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
543 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
544 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
545 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
546 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
547 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
548 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
549
5504.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
551 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
552 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
553 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
554 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
555 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
556 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
557 backend.
558 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
559
5604.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
561 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
562 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
563 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
564 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
565 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
566 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
567
5684.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
569 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
570 illegal.
571 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
572 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
573 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
574 by Adam Rosenstein).
575 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
576 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
577 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
578
5794.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
580 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
581 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
582 the socket type.
583 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
584
5854.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
586 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
587 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
588 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
589 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
590 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
591 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
592
5934.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
594 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
595 unless one has been installed already.
596 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
597 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
598 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle.
599 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
600 client would first wait for some data by the server and
601 otherwise hang. (reported and analysed in an absolutely
602 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
603 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
604 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
605 (reported and analysed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
606 Rosenstein).
607 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
608 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
609 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
610 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
611 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
612 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
613 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
614 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
615 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
616 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
617 now, more to come, though.
618 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
619
6204.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
621 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
622 no trace events.
623 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
624 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
625 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
626 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
627 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
628 Time::HiRes).
629
6304.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
631 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
632 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
633
6344.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
635 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
636 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
637 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
638 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
639
6404.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
641 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
642 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
643 perls without resource leaks or worse).
644
6454.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
646 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
647 the callback.
648 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
649 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
650 eol marker.
651 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
652 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
653 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
654
6554.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
656 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
657 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
658 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
659 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
660 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
661
6624.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
663 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
664 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
665 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
666 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
667 unusable way.
668 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
669 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
670 K. Sharifulin).
671
6724.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
673 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
674 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
675 be delayed under some circumstances.
676 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
677 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
678 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
679 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
680 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
681 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
682
6834.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
684 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
685 assumption that all data could be written before read
686 (reported by Jim Razmus).
687
6884.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
689 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
690 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
691 implementation (also affected child watchers).
692 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
693
6944.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
695 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
696 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
697 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
698
6994.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
700 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
701 works.
702
7034.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
704 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
705 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
706 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
707 for AnyEvent::Handle.
708 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
709 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
710
7114.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
712 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
713 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
714 executing the guard block as warnings.
715 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
716
7174.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
718 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
719 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
720 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
721 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
722 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
723 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
724 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
725 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
726 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
727 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
728 enter an endless loop.
729 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
730 busy again after idling.
731 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
732 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
733 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
734 (hopefully).
735 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
736 away any time.
737
7384.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
739 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
740 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
741 - allow more options in on_error.
742
7434.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
744 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
745 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
746 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
747 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
748 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
749 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
750 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
751 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
752 rfc 2782.
753 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
754 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
755 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
756 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
757 could die. this has been fixed.
758 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
759 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
760 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
761 for resolver class.
762 - update version numbers in all modules.
763
7644.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
765 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
766 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
767 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
768 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
769 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
770 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
771 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
772 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
773 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
774 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
775 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
776 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
777 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
778 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
779 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
780 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
781 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
782 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
783 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
784 but EV also works around this).
785 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
786 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
787 vs. callback arguments.
788 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
789
7904.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
791 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
792 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
793 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
794 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
795
7964.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
797 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
798 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
799 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
800 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
801 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
802 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
803 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
804 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
805 sake of perl 5.8.
806 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
807 (still a hack...)
808 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
809 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
810 die handlers.
811
8124.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
813 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
814 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
815 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
816 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
817 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
818 - updated documentation.
819 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
820 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
821 in AnyEvent::Handle.
822 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
823 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
824 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
825 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
826
8274.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
828 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
829 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
830 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
831 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
832 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
833 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
834 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
835 verbatim ip addresses.
836 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
837 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
838 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
839 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
840 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
841 become writable until empty.
842 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
843 returns ENOTCONN.
844 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
845 override.
846 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
847
8483.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
849 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
850 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
851 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
852 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
853 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
854 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
855 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
856 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
857 first and second argument.
858 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
859 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
860 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
861 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
862 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
863
8643.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
865 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
866
8673.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
868 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
869 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
870 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
871 (still subject to change).
3 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl. 872 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
873 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
874 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
875 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
876 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
877 via Coro::AnyEvent.
4 878
53.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008 8793.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
6 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules. 880 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
7 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive 881 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
8 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo. 882 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
