1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2 2
3 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
4 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS.
5
64.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
7 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
8 uppercase targets.
9 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
10 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
11 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
12 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
13 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
14 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
15 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
16 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
17 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
18 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
19 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
20 in the common case.
21 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
22 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
23 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
24 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
25 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
26 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
27 from the constructor.
28 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
29 then fall back to JSON.
30 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
31 and because it was documented that way.
32
334.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
34 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
35 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
36
374.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
38 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
39 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
40 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
41 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
42 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
43 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
44 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
45 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
46 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
47
484.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
49 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
50 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
51 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
52 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
53 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
54
554.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
56 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
57 and set it on the default resolver.
58 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
59 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
60 when running in tainted mode.
61 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
62
634.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
64 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
65
664.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
67 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
68 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
69 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
70 destructors.
71 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
72 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
73 implementation.
74 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
75 for cosmetic reasons.
76
774.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
78 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
79 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
80 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
81 - sped up Tk timer handling.
82 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
83 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
84 - fix Qt timers without interval.
85 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
86
874.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
88 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
89 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
90 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
91
924.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
93 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
94 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
95 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
96 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
97
984.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
99 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
100 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
101 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
102 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
103 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
104 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
105 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
106 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
107 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
108 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
109 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
110
1114.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
112 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
113 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
114 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
115 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
116 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
117 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
118 backend.
119 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
120
1214.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
122 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
123 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
124 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
125 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
126 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
127 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
128
1294.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
130 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
131 illegal.
132 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
133 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
134 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
135 by Adam Rosenstein).
136 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
137 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
138 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
139
1404.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
141 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
142 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
143 the socket type.
144 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
145
1464.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
147 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
148 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
149 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
150 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
151 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
152 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
153
1544.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
155 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
156 unless one has been installed already.
157 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
158 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
159 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
160 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
161 client would first wait for some data by the server and
162 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
163 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
164 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
165 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
166 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
167 Rosenstein).
168 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
169 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
170 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
171 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
172 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
173 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
174 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
175 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
176 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
177 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
178 now, more to come, though.
179 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
180
1814.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
182 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
183 no trace events.
184 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
185 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
186 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
187 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
188 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
189 Time::HiRes).
190
1914.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
192 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
193 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
194
1954.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
196 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
197 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
198 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
199 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
200
2014.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
202 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
203 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
204 perls without resource leaks or worse).
205
2064.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
207 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
208 the callback.
209 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
210 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
211 eol marker.
212 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
213 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
214 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
215
2164.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
217 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
218 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
219 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
220 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
221 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
222
2234.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
224 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
225 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
226 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
227 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
228 unusable way.
229 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
230 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
231 K. Sharifulin).
232
2334.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
234 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
235 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
236 be delayed under some circumstances.
237 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
238 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
239 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
240 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
241 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
242 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
243
2444.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
245 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
246 assumption that all data could be written before read
247 (reported by Jim Razmus).
248
2494.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
250 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
251 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
252 implementation (also affected child watchers).
253 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
254
2554.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
256 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
257 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
258 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
259
2604.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
261 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
262 works.
263
2644.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
265 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
266 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
267 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
268 for AnyEvent::Handle.
269 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
270 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
271
2724.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
273 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
274 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
275 executing the guard block as warnings.
276 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
277
2784.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
279 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
280 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
281 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
282 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
283 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
284 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
285 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
286 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
287 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
288 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
289 enter an endless loop.
290 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
291 busy again after idling.
292 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
293 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
294 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
295 (hopefully).
296 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
297 away any time.
298
2994.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
300 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
301 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
302 - allow more options in on_error.
303
3044.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
305 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
306 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
307 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
308 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
309 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
310 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
311 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
312 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
313 rfc 2782.
314 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
315 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
316 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
317 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
318 could die. this has been fixed.
319 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
320 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
321 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
322 for resolver class.
323 - update version numbers in all modules.
324
3254.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
326 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
327 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
328 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
329 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
330 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
331 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
332 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
333 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
334 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
335 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
336 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
337 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
338 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
339 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
340 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
341 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
342 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
343 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
344 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
345 but EV also works around this).
346 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
347 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
348 vs. callback arguments.
349 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
350
3514.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
352 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
353 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
354 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
355 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
356
3574.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
358 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
359 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
360 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
361 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
362 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
363 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
364 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
365 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
366 sake of perl 5.8.
367 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
368 (still a hack...)
369 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
370 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
371 die handlers.
372
3734.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
374 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
375 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
376 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
377 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
378 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
379 - updated documentation.
380 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
381 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
382 in AnyEvent::Handle.
383 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
384 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
385 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
386 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
387
3884.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
389 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
390 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
391 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
392 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
393 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
394 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
395 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
396 verbatim ip addresses.
397 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
398 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
399 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
400 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
401 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
402 become writable until empty.
403 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
404 returns ENOTCONN.
405 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
406 override.
407 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
408
4093.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
3 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC 410 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
4 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41). 411 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
5 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server 412 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
6 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class. 413 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
