85.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
9 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
10 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
11 the availabilty of a default loop!
12 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
13 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
14 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
15 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
16 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
17 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
18 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
19 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
20
215.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
22 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
23 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
24 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
25 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
26 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
27 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
28 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
29 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
30 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
31 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
32 as part of the perl core.
33 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
34 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
35 minimal perl...).
36
375.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
38 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
39 actually used in tcp_server.
40 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
41 missing.
42 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
43 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
44 resulting in more informative error messages.
45 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
46 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
47 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
48 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
49 of AnyEvent::TLS.
50 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
51 requested by Ron Isaacson.
52 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
53 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
54 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
55 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
56 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
57
585.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
59 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
60
615.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
62 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
63 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
64 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
65 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
66 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
67 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
68 - better/more condvar examples.
69
705.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
71 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
72 time (found by Andy Grundman).
73
745.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
75 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
76 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
77 by Bas Denissen).
78 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
79 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
80 EV and Perl backends.
81 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
82 backends.
83 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
84 never documented nor universally supported).
85 - some more memory µ-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
86 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
87
885.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
89 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
90 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
91 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
92
935.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
94 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
95 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
96 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
97 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
98 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
99 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
100 by lucky accident on win32.
101 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
102 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
103 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
104 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
105 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
106 detection and eval.
107 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
108 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
109 (same algorithm as EV).
110 - update unicode idna mapping table.
111
1125.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
113 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
114 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
115 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
116 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
117
1185.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
119 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
120 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
121 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
122 - provide $AE::VERSION.
123 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
124
1255.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
126 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
127 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
128 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
129 when passing scalar data to extensions).
130 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
131 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
132 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
133 (John Beppu).
134 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
135 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
136 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
137 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
138
1395.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
140 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
141 (spotted by David Friedland).
142 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
143 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
144 unless you rip out everything but the core).
145 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
146 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
147
1485.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
149 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
150 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
151 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
152 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
153 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
154
1555.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
156 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
157 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
158 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
159 (analysed by elmex).
160
1615.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
162 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
163 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
164 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
165 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
166 AnyEvent::Handle.
167 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
168 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
169 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
170 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
171
1725.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
173 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
174 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
175 by Michael S. Fischer).
176 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
177 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
178 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
179 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
180 by default.
181 - fix some prototypes.
182 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
183 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
184
1855.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
186 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
187 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
188 - port to broken win32 perls.
189
1905.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
191 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
192 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
193 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
194 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
195 OSes as well).
196
1975.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
198 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
199 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
200 to reduce dependency on JSON.
201
2025.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
203 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
204 one (was broken since 4.91).
205 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
206 when retrying a tcp_connect.
207 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
208 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
209
2105.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
211 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
212
2135.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
214 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
215 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
216 in AnyEvent::Handle.
217 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
218 settings.
219 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
220 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
221 exporting the probe function).
222 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
223 code to work around it's watcher limits.
224 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
225 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
226 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
227 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
228 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
229
2304.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
231 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
232 already contains some TLS handshake.
233 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
234 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
235 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
236 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
237 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
238
2394.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
240 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
241 a negative value, so avoid that.
242 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
243 after the condition is already signalled.
244 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
245 data.
246 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
247 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
248 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
249 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
250 any issues).
251 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
252 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
253 by name (not name or number).
254 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
255 only compiling signal code when necessary.
256 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
257 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
258 said future/alternative API.
259 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
260
2614.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
262 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
263 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
264 (analysed by elmex).
265
2664.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
267 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
268 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
269 for errors after every push_write etc.
270 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
271 platforms.
272
2734.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
274 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
275 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
276 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
277 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
278 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
279 tutorial accordingly.
280 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
281
2824.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
283 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
284 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
285 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
286 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
287 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
288 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
289 in IO::Async.
290
2914.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
292 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
293 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
294 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
295 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
296 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
297 documentation.
298 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
299 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
300 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
301 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
302 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
303 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
304
3054.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
306 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
307 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
308 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
309 this trap.
310 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
311 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
312 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
313 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
314 on_read callbacks.
315 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
316
3174.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
318 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
319 callbacks.
320 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
321 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
322 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
323 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
324 Event::Lib.
325 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
326 to rarely fail.
327
3284.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
329 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
330 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
331 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
332 in AnyEvent->io.
333 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
334 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
335 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
336 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
337 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
338 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
339 portable_socketpair.
340 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
341 YMMV.
342
3434.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
344 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
345 uppercase targets.
346 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
347 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
348 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
349 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
350 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
351 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
352 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
353 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
354 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
355 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
356 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
357 in the common case.
358 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
359 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
360 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
361 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
362 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
363 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
364 from the constructor.
365 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
366 then fall back to JSON.
367 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
368 and because it was documented that way.
369
3704.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
371 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
372 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
373
3744.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
375 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
376 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
377 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
378 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
379 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
380 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
381 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
382 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
383 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
384
3854.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
386 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
387 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
388 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
389 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
390 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
391
3924.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
393 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
394 and set it on the default resolver.
395 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
396 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
397 when running in tainted mode.
398 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
399
4004.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
401 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
402
4034.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
404 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
405 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
406 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
407 destructors.
408 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
409 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
410 implementation.
411 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
412 for cosmetic reasons.
413
4144.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
415 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
416 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
417 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
418 - sped up Tk timer handling.
419 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
420 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
421 - fix Qt timers without interval.
422 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
423
4244.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
425 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
426 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
427 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
428
4294.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
430 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
431 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
432 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
433 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
434
4354.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
436 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
437 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
438 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
439 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
440 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
441 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
442 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
443 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
444 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
445 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
446 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
447
4484.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
449 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
450 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
451 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
452 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
453 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
454 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
455 backend.
456 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.

459 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
460 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
461 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
462 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
463 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
464 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
465
4664.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
467 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
468 illegal.
469 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
470 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
471 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
472 by Adam Rosenstein).
473 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
474 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
475 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
476
4774.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
478 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
479 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
480 the socket type.
481 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
482
4834.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
484 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
485 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
486 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
487 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
488 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
489 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
490
4914.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
492 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
493 unless one has been installed already.
494 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
495 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
496 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle.
497 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
498 client would first wait for some data by the server and
499 otherwise hang. (reported and analysed in an absolutely
500 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
501 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
502 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
503 (reported and analysed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
504 Rosenstein).
505 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
506 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
507 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
508 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
509 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
510 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
511 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
512 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
513 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
514 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
515 now, more to come, though.
516 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
517
5184.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
519 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
520 no trace events.
521 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
522 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
523 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
524 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
525 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
526 Time::HiRes).
527
5284.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
529 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
530 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
531
5324.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
533 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
534 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
535 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
536 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
537
5384.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
539 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
540 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
541 perls without resource leaks or worse).
542
5434.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
544 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
545 the callback.
546 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
547 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
548 eol marker.
549 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
550 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
551 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
552
5534.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
554 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
555 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
556 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
557 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
558 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
559
5604.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
561 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
562 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
563 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
564 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
565 unusable way.
566 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
567 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
568 K. Sharifulin).
569
5704.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
571 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
572 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
573 be delayed under some circumstances.
574 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
575 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
576 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
577 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
578 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
579 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
580
5814.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
582 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
583 assumption that all data could be written before read
584 (reported by Jim Razmus).
585
5864.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
587 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
588 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
589 implementation (also affected child watchers).
590 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
591
5924.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
593 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
594 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
595 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
596
5974.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
598 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
599 works.
600
6014.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
602 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
603 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
604 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
605 for AnyEvent::Handle.
606 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
607 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
608
6094.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
610 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
611 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
612 executing the guard block as warnings.
613 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
614
6154.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
616 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
617 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
618 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
619 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
620 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
621 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
622 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
623 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
624 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
625 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
626 enter an endless loop.
627 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
628 busy again after idling.
629 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
630 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
631 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
632 (hopefully).
633 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
634 away any time.
635
6364.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
637 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
638 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
639 - allow more options in on_error.
640
6414.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
642 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
643 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
644 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
645 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
646 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
647 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
648 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
649 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
650 rfc 2782.
651 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
652 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
653 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
654 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
655 could die. this has been fixed.
656 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
657 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
658 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
659 for resolver class.
660 - update version numbers in all modules.
661
6624.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
663 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
664 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
665 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
666 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
667 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
668 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
669 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
670 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
671 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
672 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
673 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
674 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
675 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
676 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
677 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
678 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
679 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
680 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
681 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
682 but EV also works around this).
683 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
684 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
685 vs. callback arguments.
686 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
687
6884.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
689 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
690 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
691 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
692 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
693
6944.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
695 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
696 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
697 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
698 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
699 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
700 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
701 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
702 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
703 sake of perl 5.8.
704 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
705 (still a hack...)
706 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
707 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
708 die handlers.
709
7104.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
711 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
712 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
713 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
714 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
715 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
716 - updated documentation.
717 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
718 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
719 in AnyEvent::Handle.
720 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
721 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
722 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
723 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
724
7254.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
726 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
727 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
728 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
729 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
730 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
731 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
732 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
733 verbatim ip addresses.
734 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
735 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
736 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
737 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
738 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
739 become writable until empty.
3 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername 740 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
4 returns ENOTCONN. 741 returns ENOTCONN.
742 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
743 override.
744 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
5 745
63.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008 7463.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
7 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC 747 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
8 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41). 748 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
