1 Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2
3 4.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
4 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
5 assumption that all data could be written before read
6 (reported by Jim Razmus).
7
8 4.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
9 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
10 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
11 implementation (also affected child watchers).
12 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
13
14 4.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
15 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
16 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
17 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
18
19 4.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
20 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
21 works.
22
23 4.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
24 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
25 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
26 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
27 for AnyEvent::Handle.
28 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
29 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
30
31 4.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
32 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
33 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
34 executing the guard block as warnings.
35 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
36
37 4.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
38 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
39 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
40 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
41 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
42 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
43 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
44 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
45 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
46 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
47 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
48 enter an endless loop.
49 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
50 busy again after idling.
51 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
52 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
53 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
54 (hopefully).
55 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
56 away any time.
57
58 4.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
59 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
60 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
61 - allow more options in on_error.
62
63 4.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
64 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
65 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
66 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
67 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
68 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
69 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
70 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
71 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
72 rfc 2782.
73 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
74 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
75 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
76 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
77 could die. this has been fixed.
78 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
79 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
80 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
81 for resolver class.
82 - update version numbers in all modules.
83
84 4.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
85 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
86 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
87 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
88 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
89 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
90 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
91 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
92 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
93 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
94 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
95 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
96 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
97 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
98 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
99 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
100 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
101 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
102 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
103 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
104 but EV also works around this).
105 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
106 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
107 vs. callback arguments.
108 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
109
110 4.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
111 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
112 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
113 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
114 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
115
116 4.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
117 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
118 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
119 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
120 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
121 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
122 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
123 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
124 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
125 sake of perl 5.8.
126 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
127 (still a hack...)
128 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
129 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
130 die handlers.
131
132 4.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
133 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
134 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
135 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
136 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
137 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
138 - updated documentation.
139 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
140 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
141 in AnyEvent::Handle.
142 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
143 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
144 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
145 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
146
147 4.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
148 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
149 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
150 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
151 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
152 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
153 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
154 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
155 verbatim ip addresses.
156 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
157 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
158 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
159 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
160 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
161 become writable until empty.
162 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
163 returns ENOTCONN.
164 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP brutal
165 override.
166 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
167
168 3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
169 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
170 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
171 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
172 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
173 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
174 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
175 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
176 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
177 first and second argument.
178 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
179 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
180 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
181 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
182 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
183
184 3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
185 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
186
187 3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
188 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful
189 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
190 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
191 (still subject to change).
192 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
193 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
194 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
195 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
196 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
197 via Coro::AnyEvent.
198
199 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
200 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
201 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
202 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
203 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
204 the different event loops with each other.
205 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
206 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
207 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
208 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
209 kept alive.
210 - document the race between loading of an event module and
211 child processes exiting.
212 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
213 enough, and darn slow).
214 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
215 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
216 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
217 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
218 faster than Event and Glib :).
219 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
220 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
221 to other event loops where possible.
222
223 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
224 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
225 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
226 for the same fh/poll combo).
227 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
228 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
229 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
230 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
231 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
232
233 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
234 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
235 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
236 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
237 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
238 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
239 - do not send the signal to the process group
240 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
241
242 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
243 - major documentation rework.
244 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
245 - fix the child watcher example.
246
247 3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
248 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
249 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
250 don't get fixed anytime soon).
251 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
252 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
253 such strong limits).
254 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
255 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
256 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
257 any restrictions...).
258 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
259
260 3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
261 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
262 up the Coro implementation in general.
263 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
264 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
265 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
266
267 2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
268 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
269
270 2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
271 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
272 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
273
274 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
275 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
276 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
277 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
278 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
279 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
280 (except when Event or EV are installed).
281
282 2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
283 - fix bug in testsuite.
284 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
285 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
286
287 2.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
288 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
289 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
290 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
291
292 2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
293 - work around a perl bug that results in
294 BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
295 any discernible reason or error message by once
296 again not use'ing strict.
297
298 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
299 - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
300
301 2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
302 - child watchers stopped working permanently when
303 all current child watchers were destroyed.
304
305 2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
306 - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
307 true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
308
309 2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
310 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
311 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
312 - implement signal watchers (experimental)
313 (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
314 so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
315 - implement child watchers (experimental).
316 - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
317 most implementation modules.
318
319 2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
320 - better docs.
321 - simple testsuite.
322 - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
323
324 2.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
325 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
326 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
327 - EXPERIMENTAL:
328 new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
329 event model.
330 - improved documentation.
331 - reduced cpu overhead.
332
333 1.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006
334 - add COPYING to clarify license.
335
336 1.01 Sun Jan 8 05:48:09 CET 2006
337 - correctly cancel Event timers, avoid memory leaks.
338
339 1.0 Sun Jan 8 05:40:58 CET 2006
340 - allow third-party interfaces to be added at runtime.
341 - fix version number.
342
343 0.9 Fri Dec 30 02:25:41 CET 2005
344 - fixed errors in the documentation.
345 - going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
346 as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
347 this method.
348 - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
349 and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
350 glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
351 (older) versions of glib.
352 - implemented PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE env variable.
353
354 0.3 Sun Dec 4 10:43:33 CET 2005
355 - no changes to the code.
356 - fixed documentation.
357 - clarified some corner cases.
358 - vastly improved documentation with a long example.
359
360 0.2 Thu Dec 1 22:18:49 CET 2005
361 - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
362 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
363 - don't die when some modules are not available.
364 - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works.
365
366 0.1 Thu Dec 1 19:44:57 CET 2005
367 - spiced up and cleaned up for release.
368
369 0.01 Tue Sep 21 18:12:09 CEST 2004
370 - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
371
