2 2
33.51 3ZERO_RETURN - stoptls?
4 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
5 uppercase targets.
6 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
7 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
8 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
9 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
10 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
11 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
12 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
13 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
14 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
15 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
16 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
17 in the common case.
18 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
19 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
20 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
21 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
22 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
23 from the constructor.
24 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
25 then fall back to JSON.
26 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
27 and because it was documented that way.
28
294.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
30 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
31 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
32
334.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
34 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
35 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
36 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
37 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
38 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
39 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
40 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
41 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
42 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
43
444.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
45 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
46 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
47 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
48 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
49 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
50
514.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
52 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
53 and set it on the default resolver.
54 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
55 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
56 when running in tainted mode.
57 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
58
594.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
60 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
61
624.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
63 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
64 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
65 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
66 destructors.
67 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
68 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
69 implementation.
70 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
71 for cosmetic reasons.
72
734.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
74 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
75 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
76 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
77 - sped up Tk timer handling.
78 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
79 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
80 - fix Qt timers without interval.
81 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
82
834.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
84 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
85 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
86 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
87
884.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
89 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
90 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
91 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
92 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
93
944.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
95 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
96 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
97 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
98 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
99 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
100 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
101 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
102 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
103 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
104 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
105 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
106
1074.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
108 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
109 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
110 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
111 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
112 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
113 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
114 backend.
115 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
116
1174.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
118 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
119 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
120 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
121 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
122 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
123 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
124
1254.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
126 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
127 illegal.
128 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
129 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
130 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
131 by Adam Rosenstein).
132 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
133 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
134 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
135
1364.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
137 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
138 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
139 the socket type.
140 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
141
1424.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
143 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
144 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
145 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
146 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
147 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
148 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
149
1504.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
151 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
152 unless one has been installed already.
153 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
154 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
155 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
156 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
157 client would first wait for some data by the server and
158 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
159 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
160 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
161 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
162 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
163 Rosenstein).
164 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
165 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
166 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
167 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
168 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
169 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
170 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
171 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
172 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
173 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
174 now, more to come, though.
175 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
176
1774.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
178 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
179 no trace events.
180 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
181 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
182 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
183 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
184 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
185 Time::HiRes).
186
1874.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
188 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
189 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
190
1914.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
192 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
193 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
194 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
195 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
196
1974.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
198 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
199 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
200 perls without resource leaks or worse).
201
2024.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
203 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
204 the callback.
205 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
206 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
207 eol marker.
208 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
209 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
210 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
211
2124.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
213 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
214 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
215 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
216 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
217 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
218
2194.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
220 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
221 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
222 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
223 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
224 unusable way.
225 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
226 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
227 K. Sharifulin).
228
2294.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
230 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
231 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
232 be delayed under some circumstances.
233 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
234 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
235 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
236 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
237 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
238 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
239
2404.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
241 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
242 assumption that all data could be written before read
243 (reported by Jim Razmus).
244
2454.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
246 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
247 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
248 implementation (also affected child watchers).
249 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
250
2514.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
252 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
253 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
254 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
255
2564.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
257 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
258 works.
259
2604.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
261 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
262 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
263 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
264 for AnyEvent::Handle.
265 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
266 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
267
2684.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
269 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
270 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
271 executing the guard block as warnings.
272 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
273
2744.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
275 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
276 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
277 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
278 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
279 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
280 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
281 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
282 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
283 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
284 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
285 enter an endless loop.
286 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
287 busy again after idling.
288 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
289 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
290 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
291 (hopefully).
292 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
293 away any time.
294
2954.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
296 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
297 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
298 - allow more options in on_error.
299
3004.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
301 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
302 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
303 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
304 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
305 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
306 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
307 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
308 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
309 rfc 2782.
310 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
311 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
312 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
313 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
314 could die. this has been fixed.
315 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
316 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
317 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
318 for resolver class.
319 - update version numbers in all modules.
320
3214.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
322 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
323 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
324 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
325 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
326 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
327 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
328 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
329 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
330 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
331 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
332 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
333 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
334 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
335 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
336 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
337 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
338 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
339 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
340 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
341 but EV also works around this).
342 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
343 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
344 vs. callback arguments.
345 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
346
3474.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
348 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
349 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
350 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
351 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
352
3534.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
354 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
355 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
356 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
357 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
358 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
359 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
360 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
361 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
362 sake of perl 5.8.
363 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
364 (still a hack...)
365 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
366 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
367 die handlers.
368
3694.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
370 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
371 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
372 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
373 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
374 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
375 - updated documentation.
376 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
377 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
378 in AnyEvent::Handle.
379 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
380 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
381 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
382 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
383
3844.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
4 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module. 385 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
386 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
387 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
388 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
389 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
390 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
391 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
392 verbatim ip addresses.
393 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
394 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
5 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle. 395 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
6 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server. 396 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
7 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to 397 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
8 become writable untill empty. 398 become writable until empty.
9 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername 399 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
10 returns ENOTCONN. 400 returns ENOTCONN.
11 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP brutal 401 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
12 override. 402 override.

143.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008 4053.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
15 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC 406 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
