1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2 2
3 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect helper function 34.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
4 - added AnyEvent::Util::listen (and an example eg/listen) 4 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
5
64.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
7 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
8 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
9 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
10 destructors.
11 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
12 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
13 implementation.
14 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
15 for cosmetic reasons.
16
174.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
18 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
19 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
20 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
21 - sped up Tk timer handling.
22 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
23 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
24 - fix Qt timers without interval.
25 - avoid Qt zero-timeout specialcase, in old libqt's.
26
274.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
28 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
29 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
30 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
31
324.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
33 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
34 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
35 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
36 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
37
384.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
39 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
40 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
41 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
42 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
43 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
44 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
45 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
46 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
47 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
48 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
49 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
50
514.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
52 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
53 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
54 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
55 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
56 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
57 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
58 backend.
59 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
60
614.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
62 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
63 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
64 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
65 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
66 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
67 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
68
694.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
70 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
71 illegal.
72 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
73 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
74 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
75 by Adam Rosenstein).
76 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
77 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
78 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
79
804.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
81 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
82 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
83 the socket type.
84 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
85
864.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
87 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
88 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
89 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
90 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
91 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
92 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
93
944.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
95 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
96 unless one has been installed already.
97 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
98 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
99 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
100 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
101 client would first wait for some data by the server and
102 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
103 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
104 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
105 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
106 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
107 Rosenstein).
108 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
109 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
110 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
111 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
112 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
113 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
114 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
115 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
116 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
117 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
118 now, more to come, though.
119 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
120
1214.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
122 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
123 no trace events.
124 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
125 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
126 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
127 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
128 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
129 Time::HiRes).
130
1314.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
132 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
133 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
134
1354.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
136 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
137 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
138 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
139 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
140
1414.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
142 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
143 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
144 perls without resource leaks or worse).
145
1464.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
147 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
148 the callback.
149 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
150 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
151 eol marker.
152 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
153 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
154 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
155
1564.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
157 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
158 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
159 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
160 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
161 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
162
1634.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
164 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
165 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
166 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
167 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
168 unusable way.
169 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
170 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
171 K. Sharifulin).
172
1734.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
174 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
175 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
176 be delayed under some circumstances.
177 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
178 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
179 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
180 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
181 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
182 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
183
1844.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
185 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
186 assumption that all data could be written before read
187 (reported by Jim Razmus).
188
1894.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
190 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
191 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
192 implementation (also affected child watchers).
193 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
194
1954.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
196 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
197 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
198 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
199
2004.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
201 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
202 works.
203
2044.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
205 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
206 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
207 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
208 for AnyEvent::Handle.
209 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
210 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
211
2124.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
213 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
214 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
215 executing the guard block as warnings.
216 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
217
2184.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
219 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
220 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
221 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
222 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
223 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
224 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
225 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
226 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
227 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
228 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
229 enter an endless loop.
230 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
231 busy again after idling.
232 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
233 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
234 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
235 (hopefully).
236 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
237 away any time.
238
2394.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
240 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
241 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
242 - allow more options in on_error.
243
2444.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
245 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
246 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
247 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
248 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
249 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
250 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
251 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
252 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
253 rfc 2782.
254 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
255 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
256 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
257 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
258 could die. this has been fixed.
259 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
260 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
261 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
262 for resolver class.
263 - update version numbers in all modules.
264
2654.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
266 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
267 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
268 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
269 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
270 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
271 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
272 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
273 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
274 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
275 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
276 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
277 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
278 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
279 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
280 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
281 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
282 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
283 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
284 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
285 but EV also works around this).
286 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
287 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
288 vs. callback arguments.
289 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
290
2914.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
292 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
293 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
294 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
295 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
296
2974.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
298 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
299 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
300 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
301 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
302 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
303 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
304 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
305 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
306 sake of perl 5.8.
307 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
308 (still a hack...)
309 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
310 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
311 die handlers.
312
3134.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
314 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
315 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
316 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
317 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
318 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
319 - updated documentation.
320 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
321 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
322 in AnyEvent::Handle.
323 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
324 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
325 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
326 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
327
3284.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
329 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
330 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
331 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
332 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
333 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
334 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
335 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
336 verbatim ip addresses.
337 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
338 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
339 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
340 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
341 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
342 become writable until empty.
343 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
344 returns ENOTCONN.
345 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
346 override.
347 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
348
3493.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
350 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
351 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
352 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
353 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
354 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
355 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
356 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
5 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as 357 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
6 first and second argument. 358 first and second argument.
7 - added AnyEvent::Util::connect and some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle). 359 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
8 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax. 360 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
361 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
362 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
363 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
