|
3 | 3.51 |
|
|
4 | - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module. |
|
|
5 | - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module. |
|
|
6 | - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore. |
|
|
7 | - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls. |
|
|
8 | - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle. |
|
|
9 | - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server. |
|
|
10 | - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to |
|
|
11 | become writable untill empty. |
|
|
12 | - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername |
|
|
13 | returns ENOTCONN. |
|
|
14 | - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP brutal |
|
|
15 | override. |

17 | 3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008 |
|
|
18 | - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC |
|
|
19 | (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41). |
|
|
20 | - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server |
|
|
21 | helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class. |
|
|
22 | - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle). |
|
|
23 | - added AnyEvent::Util::guard. |
|
|
24 | - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions. |
|
|
25 | - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as |
|
|
26 | first and second argument. |
|
|
27 | - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line. |
|
|
28 | - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax. |
|
|
29 | - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support |
|
|
30 | cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de) |
|
|
31 | and aaaa records if no a record could be found. |
|
|

|
33 | 3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008 |
|
|
34 | - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao. |
|
|
35 | |
|
|
36 | 3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008 |
|
|
37 | - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful |
|
|
38 | API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented). |
|
|
39 | - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API |
|
|
40 | (still subject to change). |
|
|
41 | - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl. |
|
|
42 | - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which |
|
|
43 | allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection. |
|
|
44 | (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example). |
|
|
45 | - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent |
|
|
46 | via Coro::AnyEvent. |
|
|
47 | |
|
|
