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 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
16 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
17 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
18
19 4.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
20 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
21 no trace events.
22 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
23 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
24 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
25 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
26 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
27 Time::HiRes).
28
29 4.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
30 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
31 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
32
33 4.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
34 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
35 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
36 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
37 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
38
39 4.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
40 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
41 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
42 perls without resource leaks or worse).
43
44 4.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
45 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
46 the callback.
47 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
48 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
49 eol marker.
50 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
51 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
52 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
53
54 4.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
55 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
56 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
57 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
58 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
59 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
60
61 4.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
62 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
63 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
64 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
65 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
66 unusable way.
67 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
68 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
69 K. Sharifulin).
70
71 4.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
72 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
73 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
74 be delayed under some circumstances.
75 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
76 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
77 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
78 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
79 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
80 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
81
82 4.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
83 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
84 assumption that all data could be written before read
85 (reported by Jim Razmus).
86
87 4.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
88 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
89 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
90 implementation (also affected child watchers).
91 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
92
93 4.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
94 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
95 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
96 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
97
98 4.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
99 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
100 works.
101
102 4.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
103 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
104 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
105 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
106 for AnyEvent::Handle.
107 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
108 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
109
110 4.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
111 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
112 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
113 executing the guard block as warnings.
114 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
115
116 4.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
117 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
118 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
119 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
120 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
121 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
122 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
123 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
124 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
125 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
126 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
127 enter an endless loop.
128 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
129 busy again after idling.
130 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
131 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
132 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
133 (hopefully).
134 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
135 away any time.
136
137 4.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
138 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
139 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
140 - allow more options in on_error.
141
142 4.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
143 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
144 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
145 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
146 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
147 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
148 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
149 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
150 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
151 rfc 2782.
152 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
153 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
154 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
155 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
156 could die. this has been fixed.
157 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
158 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
159 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
160 for resolver class.
161 - update version numbers in all modules.
162
163 4.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
164 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
165 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
166 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
167 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
168 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
169 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
170 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
171 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
172 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
173 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
174 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
175 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
176 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
177 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
178 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
179 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
180 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
181 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
182 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
183 but EV also works around this).
184 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
185 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
186 vs. callback arguments.
187 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
188
189 4.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
190 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
191 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
192 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
193 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
194
195 4.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
196 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
197 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
198 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
199 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
200 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
201 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
202 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
203 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
204 sake of perl 5.8.
205 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
206 (still a hack...)
207 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
208 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
209 die handlers.
210
211 4.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
212 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
213 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
214 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
215 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
216 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
217 - updated documentation.
218 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
219 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
220 in AnyEvent::Handle.
221 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
222 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
223 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
224 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
225
226 4.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
227 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
228 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
229 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
230 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
231 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
232 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
233 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
234 verbatim ip addresses.
235 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
236 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
237 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
238 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
239 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
240 become writable until empty.
241 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
242 returns ENOTCONN.
243 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
244 override.
245 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
246
247 3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
248 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
249 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
250 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
251 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
252 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
253 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
254 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
255 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
256 first and second argument.
257 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
258 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
259 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
260 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
261 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
262
263 3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
264 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
265
266 3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
267 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
268 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
269 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
270 (still subject to change).
271 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
272 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
273 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
274 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
275 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
276 via Coro::AnyEvent.
277
278 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
279 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
280 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
281 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
282 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
283 the different event loops with each other.
284 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
285 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
286 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
287 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
288 kept alive.
289 - document the race between loading of an event module and
290 child processes exiting.
291 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
292 enough, and darn slow).
293 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
294 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
295 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
296 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
297 faster than Event and Glib :).
298 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
299 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
300 to other event loops where possible.
301
302 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
303 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
304 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
305 for the same fh/poll combo).
306 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
307 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
308 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
309 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
310 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
311
312 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
313 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
314 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
315 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
316 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
317 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
318 - do not send the signal to the process group
319 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
320
321 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
322 - major documentation rework.
323 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
324 - fix the child watcher example.
325
326 3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
327 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
328 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
329 don't get fixed anytime soon).
330 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
331 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
332 such strong limits).
333 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
334 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
335 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
336 any restrictions...).
337 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
338
339 3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
340 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
341 up the Coro implementation in general.
342 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
343 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
344 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
345
346 2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
347 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
348
349 2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
350 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
351 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
352
353 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
354 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
355 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
356 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
357 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
358 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
359 (except when Event or EV are installed).
360
361 2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
362 - fix bug in testsuite.
363 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
364 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
365
366 2.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
367 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
368 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
369 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
370
371 2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
372 - work around a perl bug that results in
373 BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
374 any discernible reason or error message by once
375 again not use'ing strict.
376
377 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
378 - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
379
380 2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
381 - child watchers stopped working permanently when
382 all current child watchers were destroyed.
383
384 2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
385 - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
386 true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
387
388 2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
389 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
390 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
391 - implement signal watchers (experimental)
392 (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
393 so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
394 - implement child watchers (experimental).
395 - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
396 most implementation modules.
397
398 2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
399 - better docs.
400 - simple testsuite.
401 - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
402
403 2.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
404 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
405 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
406 - EXPERIMENTAL:
407 new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
408 event model.
409 - improved documentation.
410 - reduced cpu overhead.
411
412 1.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006
413 - add COPYING to clarify license.
414
415 1.01 Sun Jan 8 05:48:09 CET 2006
416 - correctly cancel Event timers, avoid memory leaks.
417
418 1.0 Sun Jan 8 05:40:58 CET 2006
419 - allow third-party interfaces to be added at runtime.
420 - fix version number.
421
422 0.9 Fri Dec 30 02:25:41 CET 2005
423 - fixed errors in the documentation.
424 - going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
425 as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
426 this method.
427 - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
428 and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
429 glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
430 (older) versions of glib.
431 - implemented PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE env variable.
432
433 0.3 Sun Dec 4 10:43:33 CET 2005
434 - no changes to the code.
435 - fixed documentation.
436 - clarified some corner cases.
437 - vastly improved documentation with a long example.
438
439 0.2 Thu Dec 1 22:18:49 CET 2005
440 - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
441 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
442 - don't die when some modules are not available.
443 - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works.
444
445 0.1 Thu Dec 1 19:44:57 CET 2005
446 - spiced up and cleaned up for release.
447
448 0.01 Tue Sep 21 18:12:09 CEST 2004
449 - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
450
