3 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
4
5 5.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
6 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
7 one (was broken since 4.91).
8 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
9 when retrying a tcp_connect.
10 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
11 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
12
13 5.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
14 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
15
16 5.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
17 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
18 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
19 in AnyEvent::Handle.
20 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
21 settings.
22 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
23 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
24 exporting the probe function).
25 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
26 code to work around it's watcher limits.
27 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
28 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
29 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
30 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
31 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
32
33 4.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
34 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
35 already contains some TLS handshake.
36 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
37 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
38 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
39 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
40 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
41
42 4.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
43 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
44 a negative value, so avoid that.
45 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
46 after the condition is already signalled.
47 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
48 data.
49 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
50 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
51 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
52 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
53 any issues).
54 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
55 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
56 by name (not name or number).
57 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
58 only compiling signal code when necessary.
59 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
60 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
61 said future/alternative API.
62 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
63
64 4.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
65 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
66 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
67 (analyzed by elmex).
68
69 4.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
70 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
71 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
72 for errors after every push_write etc.
73 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
74 platforms.
75
76 4.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
77 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
78 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
79 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
80 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
81 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
82 tutorial accordingly.
83 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
84
85 4.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
86 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
87 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
88 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
89 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
90 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
91 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
92 in IO::Async.
93
94 4.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
95 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
96 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
97 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
98 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
99 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
100 documentation.
101 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
102 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
103 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
104 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
105 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
106 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
107
108 4.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
109 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
110 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
111 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
112 this trap.
113 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
114 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
115 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
116 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
117 on_read callbacks.
118 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
119
120 4.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
121 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
122 callbacks.
123 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
124 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
125 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
126 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
127 Event::Lib.
128 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
129 to rarely fail.
130
131 4.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
132 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
133 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
134 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
135 in AnyEvent->io.
136 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
137 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
138 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
139 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
140 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
141 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
142 portable_socketpair.
143 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
144 YMMV.
145
146 4.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
147 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
148 uppercase targets.
149 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
150 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
151 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
152 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
153 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
154 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
155 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
156 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
157 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
158 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
159 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
160 in the common case.
161 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
162 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
163 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
164 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
165 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
166 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
167 from the constructor.
168 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
169 then fall back to JSON.
170 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
171 and because it was documented that way.
172
173 4.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
174 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
175 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
176
177 4.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
178 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
179 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
180 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
181 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
182 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
183 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
184 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
185 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
186 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
187
188 4.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
189 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
190 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
191 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
192 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
193 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
194
195 4.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
196 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
197 and set it on the default resolver.
198 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
199 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
200 when running in tainted mode.
201 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
202
203 4.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
204 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
205
206 4.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
207 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
208 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
209 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
210 destructors.
211 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
212 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
213 implementation.
214 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
215 for cosmetic reasons.
216
217 4.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
218 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
219 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
220 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
221 - sped up Tk timer handling.
222 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
223 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
224 - fix Qt timers without interval.
225 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
226
227 4.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
228 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
229 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
230 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
231
232 4.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
233 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
234 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
235 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
236 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
237
238 4.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
239 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
240 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
241 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
242 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
243 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
244 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
245 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
246 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
247 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
248 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
249 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
250
251 4.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
252 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
253 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
254 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
255 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
256 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
257 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
258 backend.
259 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
260
261 4.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
262 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
263 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
264 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
265 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
266 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
267 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
268
269 4.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
270 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
271 illegal.
272 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
273 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
274 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
275 by Adam Rosenstein).
276 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
277 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
278 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
279
280 4.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
281 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
282 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
283 the socket type.
284 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
285
286 4.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
287 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
288 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
289 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
290 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
291 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
292 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
293
294 4.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
295 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
296 unless one has been installed already.
297 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
298 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
299 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
300 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
301 client would first wait for some data by the server and
302 otherwise hang. (reported and analyzed in an absolutely
303 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
304 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
305 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
306 (reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
307 Rosenstein).
308 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
309 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
310 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
311 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
312 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
313 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
314 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
315 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
316 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
317 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
318 now, more to come, though.
319 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
320
321 4.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
322 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
323 no trace events.
324 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
325 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
326 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
327 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
328 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
329 Time::HiRes).
330
331 4.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
332 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
333 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
334
335 4.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
336 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
337 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
338 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
339 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
340
341 4.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
342 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
343 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
344 perls without resource leaks or worse).
345
346 4.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
347 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
348 the callback.
349 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
350 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
351 eol marker.
352 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
353 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
354 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
355
356 4.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
357 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
358 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
359 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
360 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
361 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
362
363 4.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
364 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
365 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
366 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
367 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
368 unusable way.
369 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
370 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
371 K. Sharifulin).
372
373 4.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
374 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
375 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
376 be delayed under some circumstances.
377 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
378 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
379 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
380 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
381 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
382 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
383
384 4.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
385 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
386 assumption that all data could be written before read
387 (reported by Jim Razmus).
388
389 4.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
390 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
391 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
392 implementation (also affected child watchers).
393 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
394
395 4.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
396 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
397 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
398 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
399
400 4.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
401 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
402 works.
403
404 4.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
405 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
406 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
407 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
408 for AnyEvent::Handle.
409 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
410 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
411
412 4.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
413 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
414 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
415 executing the guard block as warnings.
416 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
417
418 4.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
419 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
420 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
421 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
422 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
423 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
424 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
425 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
426 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
427 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
428 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
429 enter an endless loop.
430 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
431 busy again after idling.
432 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
433 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
434 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
435 (hopefully).
436 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
437 away any time.
438
439 4.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
440 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
441 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
442 - allow more options in on_error.
443
444 4.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
445 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
446 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
447 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
448 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
449 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
450 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
451 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
452 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
453 rfc 2782.
454 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
455 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
456 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
457 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
458 could die. this has been fixed.
459 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
460 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
461 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
462 for resolver class.
463 - update version numbers in all modules.
464
465 4.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
466 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
467 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
468 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
469 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
470 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
471 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
472 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
473 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
474 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
475 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
476 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
477 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
478 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
479 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
480 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
481 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
482 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
483 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
484 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
485 but EV also works around this).
486 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
487 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
488 vs. callback arguments.
489 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
490
491 4.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
492 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
493 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
494 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
495 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
496
497 4.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
498 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
499 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
500 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
501 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
502 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
503 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
504 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
505 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
506 sake of perl 5.8.
507 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
508 (still a hack...)
509 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
510 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
511 die handlers.
512
513 4.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
514 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
515 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
516 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
517 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
518 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
519 - updated documentation.
520 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
521 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
522 in AnyEvent::Handle.
523 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
524 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
525 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
526 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
527
528 4.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
529 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
530 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
531 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
532 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
533 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
534 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
535 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
536 verbatim ip addresses.
537 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
538 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
539 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
540 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
541 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
542 become writable until empty.
543 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
544 returns ENOTCONN.
545 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
546 override.
547 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
548
549 3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
550 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
551 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
552 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
553 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
554 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
555 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
556 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
557 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
558 first and second argument.
559 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
560 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
561 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
562 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
563 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
564
565 3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
566 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
567
568 3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
569 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
570 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
571 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
572 (still subject to change).
573 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
574 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
575 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
576 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
577 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
578 via Coro::AnyEvent.
579
580 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
581 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
582 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
583 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
584 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
585 the different event loops with each other.
586 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
587 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
588 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
589 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
590 kept alive.
591 - document the race between loading of an event module and
592 child processes exiting.
593 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
594 enough, and darn slow).
595 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
596 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
597 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
598 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
599 faster than Event and Glib :).
600 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
601 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
602 to other event loops where possible.
603
604 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
605 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
606 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
607 for the same fh/poll combo).
608 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
609 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
610 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
611 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
612 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
613
614 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
615 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
616 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
617 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
618 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
619 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
620 - do not send the signal to the process group
621 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
622
623 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
624 - major documentation rework.
625 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
626 - fix the child watcher example.
627
628 3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
629 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
630 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
631 don't get fixed anytime soon).
632 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
633 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
634 such strong limits).
635 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
636 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
637 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
638 any restrictions...).
639 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
640
641 3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
642 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
643 up the Coro implementation in general.
644 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
645 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
646 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
647
648 2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
649 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
650
651 2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
652 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
653 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
654
655 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
656 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
657 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
658 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
659 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
660 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
661 (except when Event or EV are installed).
662
663 2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
664 - fix bug in testsuite.
665 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
666 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
667
668 2.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
669 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
670 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
671 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
672
673 2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
674 - work around a perl bug that results in
675 BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
676 any discernible reason or error message by once
677 again not use'ing strict.
678
679 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
680 - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
681
682 2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
683 - child watchers stopped working permanently when
684 all current child watchers were destroyed.
685
686 2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
687 - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
688 true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
689
690 2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
691 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
692 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
693 - implement signal watchers (experimental)
694 (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
695 so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
696 - implement child watchers (experimental).
697 - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
698 most implementation modules.
699
700 2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
701 - better docs.
702 - simple testsuite.
703 - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
704
705 2.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
706 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
707 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
708 - EXPERIMENTAL:
709 new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
710 event model.
711 - improved documentation.
712 - reduced cpu overhead.
713
714 1.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006
715 - add COPYING to clarify license.
716
717 1.01 Sun Jan 8 05:48:09 CET 2006
718 - correctly cancel Event timers, avoid memory leaks.
719
720 1.0 Sun Jan 8 05:40:58 CET 2006
721 - allow third-party interfaces to be added at runtime.
722 - fix version number.
723
724 0.9 Fri Dec 30 02:25:41 CET 2005
725 - fixed errors in the documentation.
726 - going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
727 as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
728 this method.
729 - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
730 and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
731 glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
732 (older) versions of glib.
733 - implemented PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE env variable.
734
735 0.3 Sun Dec 4 10:43:33 CET 2005
736 - no changes to the code.
737 - fixed documentation.
738 - clarified some corner cases.
739 - vastly improved documentation with a long example.
740
741 0.2 Thu Dec 1 22:18:49 CET 2005
742 - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
743 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
744 - don't die when some modules are not available.
745 - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works.
746
747 0.1 Thu Dec 1 19:44:57 CET 2005
748 - spiced up and cleaned up for release.
749
750 0.01 Tue Sep 21 18:12:09 CEST 2004
751 - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
752
