1 Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2
3 4.3
4 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle where in SSL connect mode, the
5 client would first wait for some data by the server and
6 otherwise hang. (Reported and analyzed in an absolutely
7 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
8 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle where SSL EOF would not be treated
9 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
10 (Reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
11 Rosenstein).
12 - fix a potential segfault in AnyEvent::Handle when the TLS context
13 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
14 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
15
16 4.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
17 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
18 no trace events.
19 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
20 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
21 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
22 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
23 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
24 Time::HiRes).
25
26 4.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
27 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
28 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
29
30 4.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
31 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
32 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
33 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
34 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
35
36 4.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
37 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
38 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
39 perls without resource leaks or worse).
40
41 4.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
42 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
43 the callback.
44 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
45 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
46 eol marker.
47 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
48 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
49 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
50
51 4.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
52 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
53 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
54 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
55 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
56 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
57
58 4.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
59 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
60 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
61 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
62 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
63 unusable way.
64 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
65 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
66 K. Sharifulin).
67
68 4.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
69 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
70 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
71 be delayed under some circumstances.
72 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
73 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
74 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
75 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
76 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
77 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
78
79 4.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
80 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
81 assumption that all data could be written before read
82 (reported by Jim Razmus).
83
84 4.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
85 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
86 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
87 implementation (also affected child watchers).
88 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
89
90 4.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
91 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
92 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
93 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
94
95 4.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
96 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
97 works.
98
99 4.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
100 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
101 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
102 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
103 for AnyEvent::Handle.
104 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
105 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
106
107 4.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
108 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
109 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
110 executing the guard block as warnings.
111 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
112
113 4.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
114 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
115 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
116 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
117 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
118 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
119 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
120 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
121 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
122 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
123 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
124 enter an endless loop.
125 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
126 busy again after idling.
127 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
128 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
129 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
130 (hopefully).
131 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
132 away any time.
133
134 4.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
135 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
136 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
137 - allow more options in on_error.
138
139 4.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
140 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
141 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
142 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
143 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
144 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
145 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
146 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
147 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
148 rfc 2782.
149 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
150 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
151 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
152 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
153 could die. this has been fixed.
154 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
155 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
156 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
157 for resolver class.
158 - update version numbers in all modules.
159
160 4.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
161 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
162 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
163 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
164 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
165 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
166 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
167 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
168 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
169 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
170 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
171 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
172 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
173 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
174 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
175 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
176 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
177 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
178 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
179 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
180 but EV also works around this).
181 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
182 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
183 vs. callback arguments.
184 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
185
186 4.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
187 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
188 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
189 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
190 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
191
192 4.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
193 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
194 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
195 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
196 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
197 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
198 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
199 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
200 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
201 sake of perl 5.8.
202 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
203 (still a hack...)
204 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
205 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
206 die handlers.
207
208 4.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
209 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
210 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
211 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
212 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
213 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
214 - updated documentation.
215 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
216 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
217 in AnyEvent::Handle.
218 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
219 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
220 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
221 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
222
223 4.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
224 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
225 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
226 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
227 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
228 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
229 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
230 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
231 verbatim ip addresses.
232 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
233 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
234 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
235 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
236 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
237 become writable until empty.
238 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
239 returns ENOTCONN.
240 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
241 override.
242 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
243
244 3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
245 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
246 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
247 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
248 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
249 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
250 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
251 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
252 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
253 first and second argument.
254 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
255 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
256 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
257 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
258 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
259
260 3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
261 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
262
263 3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
264 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
265 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
266 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
267 (still subject to change).
268 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
269 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
270 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
271 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
272 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
273 via Coro::AnyEvent.
274
275 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
276 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
277 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
278 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
279 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
280 the different event loops with each other.
281 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
282 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
283 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
284 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
285 kept alive.
286 - document the race between loading of an event module and
287 child processes exiting.
288 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
289 enough, and darn slow).
290 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
291 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
292 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
293 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
294 faster than Event and Glib :).
295 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
296 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
297 to other event loops where possible.
298
299 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
300 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
301 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
302 for the same fh/poll combo).
303 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
304 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
305 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
306 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
307 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
308
309 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
310 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
311 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
312 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
313 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
314 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
315 - do not send the signal to the process group
316 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
317
318 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
319 - major documentation rework.
320 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
321 - fix the child watcher example.
322
323 3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
324 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
325 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
326 don't get fixed anytime soon).
327 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
328 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
329 such strong limits).
330 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
331 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
332 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
333 any restrictions...).
334 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
335
336 3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
337 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
338 up the Coro implementation in general.
339 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
340 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
341 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
342
343 2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
344 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
345
346 2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
347 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
348 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
349
350 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
351 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
352 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
353 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
354 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
355 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
356 (except when Event or EV are installed).
357
358 2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
359 - fix bug in testsuite.
360 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
361 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
362
363 2.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
364 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
365 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
366 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
367
368 2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
369 - work around a perl bug that results in
370 BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
371 any discernible reason or error message by once
372 again not use'ing strict.
373
374 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
375 - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
376
377 2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
378 - child watchers stopped working permanently when
379 all current child watchers were destroyed.
380
381 2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
382 - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
383 true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
384
385 2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
386 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
387 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
388 - implement signal watchers (experimental)
389 (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
390 so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
391 - implement child watchers (experimental).
392 - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
393 most implementation modules.
394
395 2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
396 - better docs.
397 - simple testsuite.
398 - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
399
400 2.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
401 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
402 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
403 - EXPERIMENTAL:
404 new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
405 event model.
406 - improved documentation.
407 - reduced cpu overhead.
408
409 1.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006
410 - add COPYING to clarify license.
411
412 1.01 Sun Jan 8 05:48:09 CET 2006
413 - correctly cancel Event timers, avoid memory leaks.
414
415 1.0 Sun Jan 8 05:40:58 CET 2006
416 - allow third-party interfaces to be added at runtime.
417 - fix version number.
418
419 0.9 Fri Dec 30 02:25:41 CET 2005
420 - fixed errors in the documentation.
421 - going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
422 as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
423 this method.
424 - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
425 and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
426 glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
427 (older) versions of glib.
428 - implemented PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE env variable.
429
430 0.3 Sun Dec 4 10:43:33 CET 2005
431 - no changes to the code.
432 - fixed documentation.
433 - clarified some corner cases.
434 - vastly improved documentation with a long example.
435
436 0.2 Thu Dec 1 22:18:49 CET 2005
437 - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
438 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
439 - don't die when some modules are not available.
440 - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works.
441
442 0.1 Thu Dec 1 19:44:57 CET 2005
443 - spiced up and cleaned up for release.
444
445 0.01 Tue Sep 21 18:12:09 CEST 2004
446 - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
447
