3TODO: implement condvars... 3TODO: document TCP_*** constants
4TODO: catch AE::xxx for anyevent strict and anyevent debug
5TODO: anyevent::trace? or debug tracing all watchers?
6TODO: anyevent strict checking for $_ changes?
7
8 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
9 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
10 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
11
125.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
13 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
14 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
15 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
16 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
17 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
18 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
19 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
20 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
21 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
22 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
23 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
24 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
25
265.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
27 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
28 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
29 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
30 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
31 documentation for caveats.
32 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
33 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
34 AnyEvent::Handle).
35 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
36 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
37
385.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
39 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
40 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
41 the availabilty of a default loop!
42 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
43 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
44 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
45 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
46 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
47 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
48 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
49 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
50
515.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
52 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
53 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
54 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
55 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
56 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
57 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
58 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
59 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
60 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
61 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
62 as part of the perl core.
63 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
64 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
65 minimal perl...).
66
675.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
68 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
69 actually used in tcp_server.
70 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
71 missing.
72 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
73 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
74 resulting in more informative error messages.
75 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
76 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
77 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
78 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
79 of AnyEvent::TLS.
80 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
81 requested by Ron Isaacson.
82 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
83 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
84 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
85 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
86 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
87
885.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
89 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
90
915.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
92 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
93 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
94 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
95 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
96 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
97 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
98 - better/more condvar examples.
99
1005.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
101 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
102 time (found by Andy Grundman).
103
1045.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
105 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
106 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
107 by Bas Denissen).
108 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
109 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
110 EV and Perl backends.
111 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
112 backends.
113 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
114 never documented nor universally supported).
115 - some more memory µ-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
116 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
117
1185.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
119 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
120 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
121 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
122
1235.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
124 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
125 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
126 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
127 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
128 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
129 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
130 by lucky accident on win32.
131 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
132 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
133 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
134 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
135 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
136 detection and eval.
137 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
138 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
139 (same algorithm as EV).
140 - update unicode idna mapping table.
141
1425.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
143 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
144 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
145 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
146 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
147
1485.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
149 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
150 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
151 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
152 - provide $AE::VERSION.
153 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
154
1555.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
156 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
157 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
158 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
159 when passing scalar data to extensions).
160 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
161 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
162 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
163 (John Beppu).
164 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
165 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
166 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
167 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
168
1695.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
170 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
171 (spotted by David Friedland).
172 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
173 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
174 unless you rip out everything but the core).
175 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
176 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
177
1785.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
179 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
180 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
181 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
182 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
183 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
184
1855.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
186 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
187 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
188 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
189 (analysed by elmex).
190
1915.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
192 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
193 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
194 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
195 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
196 AnyEvent::Handle.
197 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
198 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
199 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
200 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
201
2025.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
203 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
204 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
205 by Michael S. Fischer).
206 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
207 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
208 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
209 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
210 by default.
211 - fix some prototypes.
212 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
213 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
214
2155.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
216 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
217 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
218 - port to broken win32 perls.
219
2205.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
221 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
222 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
223 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
224 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
225 OSes as well).
226
2275.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
228 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
229 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
230 to reduce dependency on JSON.
231
2325.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
233 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
234 one (was broken since 4.91).
235 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
236 when retrying a tcp_connect.
237 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
238 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
239
2405.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
241 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
242
2435.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
244 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
245 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
246 in AnyEvent::Handle.
247 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
248 settings.
249 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
250 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
251 exporting the probe function).
252 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
253 code to work around it's watcher limits.
254 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
255 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
256 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
257 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
258 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
259
2604.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
261 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
262 already contains some TLS handshake.
263 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
264 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
265 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
266 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
267 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
268
2694.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
270 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
271 a negative value, so avoid that.
272 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
273 after the condition is already signalled.
274 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
275 data.
276 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
277 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
278 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
279 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
280 any issues).
281 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
282 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
283 by name (not name or number).
284 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
285 only compiling signal code when necessary.
286 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
287 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
288 said future/alternative API.
289 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
290
2914.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
292 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
293 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
294 (analysed by elmex).
295
2964.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
297 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
298 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
299 for errors after every push_write etc.
300 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
301 platforms.
302
3034.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
304 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
305 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
306 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
307 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
308 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
309 tutorial accordingly.
310 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
311
3124.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
313 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
314 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
315 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
316 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
317 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
318 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
319 in IO::Async.
320
3214.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
322 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
323 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
324 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
325 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
326 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
327 documentation.
328 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
329 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
330 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
331 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
332 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
333 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
334
3354.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
336 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
337 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
338 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
339 this trap.
340 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
341 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
342 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
343 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
344 on_read callbacks.
345 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
346
3474.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
348 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
349 callbacks.
350 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
351 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
352 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
353 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
354 Event::Lib.
355 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
356 to rarely fail.
357
3584.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
359 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
360 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
361 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
362 in AnyEvent->io.
363 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
364 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
365 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
366 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
367 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
368 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
369 portable_socketpair.
370 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
371 YMMV.
372
3734.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
374 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
375 uppercase targets.
376 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
377 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
378 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
379 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
380 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
381 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
382 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
383 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
384 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
385 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
386 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
387 in the common case.
388 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
389 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
390 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
391 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
392 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
393 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
394 from the constructor.
395 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
396 then fall back to JSON.
397 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
398 and because it was documented that way.
399
4004.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
401 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
402 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
403
4044.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
405 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
406 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
407 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
408 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
409 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
410 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
411 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
412 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
413 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
414
4154.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
416 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
417 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
418 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
419 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
420 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
421
4224.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
423 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
424 and set it on the default resolver.
425 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
426 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
427 when running in tainted mode.
428 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
429
4304.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
431 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
432
4334.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
434 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
435 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
436 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
437 destructors.
438 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
439 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
440 implementation.
441 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
442 for cosmetic reasons.
443
4444.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
445 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
446 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
447 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
448 - sped up Tk timer handling.
449 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
450 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
451 - fix Qt timers without interval.
452 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
453
4544.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
455 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
456 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
457 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
458
4594.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
460 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
461 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
462 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
463 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
464
4654.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
466 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
467 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
468 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
469 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
470 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
471 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
472 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
473 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
474 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
475 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
476 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
477
4784.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
479 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
480 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
481 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
482 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
483 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
484 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
485 backend.
486 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
487
4884.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
489 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
490 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
491 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
492 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
493 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
494 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
495
4964.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
497 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
498 illegal.
499 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
500 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
501 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
502 by Adam Rosenstein).
503 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
504 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
505 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
506
5074.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
508 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
509 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
510 the socket type.
511 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
512
5134.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
514 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
515 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
516 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
517 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
518 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
519 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
520
5214.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
522 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
523 unless one has been installed already.
524 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
525 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
526 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle.
527 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
528 client would first wait for some data by the server and
529 otherwise hang. (reported and analysed in an absolutely
530 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
531 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
532 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
533 (reported and analysed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
534 Rosenstein).
535 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
536 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
537 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
538 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
539 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
540 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
541 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
542 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
543 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
544 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
545 now, more to come, though.
546 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
547
5484.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
549 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
550 no trace events.
551 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
552 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
553 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
554 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
555 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
556 Time::HiRes).
557
5584.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
559 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
560 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
561
5624.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
563 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
564 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
565 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
566 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
567
5684.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
569 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
570 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
571 perls without resource leaks or worse).
572
5734.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
574 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
575 the callback.
576 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
577 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
578 eol marker.
579 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
580 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
581 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
582
5834.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
584 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
585 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
586 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
587 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
588 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
589
5904.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
591 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
592 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
593 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
594 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
595 unusable way.
596 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
597 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
598 K. Sharifulin).
599
6004.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
601 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
602 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
603 be delayed under some circumstances.
604 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
605 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
606 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
607 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
608 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
609 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
610
6114.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
612 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
613 assumption that all data could be written before read
614 (reported by Jim Razmus).
615
6164.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
617 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
618 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
619 implementation (also affected child watchers).
620 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
621
6224.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
623 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
624 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
625 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
626
6274.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
628 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
629 works.
630
6314.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
632 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
633 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
634 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
635 for AnyEvent::Handle.
636 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
637 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
638
6394.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
640 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
641 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
642 executing the guard block as warnings.
643 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
644
6454.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
646 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
647 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
648 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
649 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
650 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
651 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
652 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
653 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
654 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
655 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
656 enter an endless loop.
657 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
658 busy again after idling.
659 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
660 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
661 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
662 (hopefully).
663 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
664 away any time.
665
6664.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
667 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
668 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
669 - allow more options in on_error.
670
6714.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
672 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
673 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
674 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
675 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
676 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
677 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
678 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
679 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
680 rfc 2782.
681 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
682 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
683 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
684 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
685 could die. this has been fixed.
686 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
687 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
688 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
689 for resolver class.
690 - update version numbers in all modules.
691
6924.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
693 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
694 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
695 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
696 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
697 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
698 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
699 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
700 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
701 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
702 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
703 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
704 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
705 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
706 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
707 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
708 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
709 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
710 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
711 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
712 but EV also works around this).
713 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
714 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
715 vs. callback arguments.
716 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
717
7184.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
719 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
720 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
721 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
722 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
723
7244.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
725 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
726 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
727 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
728 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
729 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
730 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
731 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
732 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
733 sake of perl 5.8.
734 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
735 (still a hack...)
736 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
737 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
738 die handlers.
739
7404.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
741 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
742 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
743 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
744 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
745 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
746 - updated documentation.
747 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
748 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
749 in AnyEvent::Handle.
750 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
751 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
752 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
753 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
754
7554.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
756 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
757 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
758 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
759 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
760 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
761 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
762 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
763 verbatim ip addresses.
764 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
765 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
766 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
767 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
768 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
769 become writable until empty.
770 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
771 returns ENOTCONN.
772 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
773 override.
774 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
775
7763.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
777 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
778 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
779 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
780 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
781 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
782 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
783 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
784 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
785 first and second argument.
786 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
787 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
788 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
789 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
790 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
791
7923.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
793 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
794
7953.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
796 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
797 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
798 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
799 (still subject to change).
4 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl. 800 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
801 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
802 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
803 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
804 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
805 via Coro::AnyEvent.
5 806
63.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008 8073.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
7 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules. 808 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
8 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive 809 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
