3 TODO: document TCP_*** constants
4
5 TODO: add debug/trace logging to some modules
6 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
7 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
8 to higher log levels to print by default.
9 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
10 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
11 how that module sucks.
12 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
13 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
14 of 127.0.0.1).
15 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
16 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
17 - AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to.
18 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
19 intervals.
20 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
21 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
22 which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
23 delivery.
24 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
25 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
26 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
27 of the context as title.
28 - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback
29 died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging...
30 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
31 to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
32 to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
33 attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
34 AnyEvent.
35
36 6.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
37 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
38 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
39 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
40 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
41 to work around.
42 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
43
44 6.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011
45 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
46 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
47 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
48 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
49 AnyEvent::Socket.
50 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
51 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
52 methods.
53 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
54 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
55 - DEPRECIATION: please change
56 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
57 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
58 in your programs, for future compatibility.
59 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
60 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
61 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
62 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
63 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
64 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
65 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
66 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
67 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
68 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
69 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
70 a debug shell.
71 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
72 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
73 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
74 /etc/hosts can be found.
75 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
76 configuration.
77 - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
78 PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
79 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
80 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications $_ by the callback
81 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
82 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
83 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
84 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
85 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
86 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
87 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
88 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
89 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
90 supports /etc/hosts overrides.
91 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
92 and (newly introduced) in POE.
93 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
94 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
95 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
96 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
97 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
98 (reported by Gerald Galster).
99 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
100 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
101 do not support blocking waits.
102 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
103 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
104 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
105 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
106 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
107 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
108 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
109 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
110 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
111 - suppress the idiotic warning inside POE by patching the POE::Kernel
112 run flags instead of asking the user to jump through contortions.
113 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
114 - replace PF_UNSPEC by 0, for good old minix.
115
116 6.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)
117
118 5.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
119 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
120 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
121 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
122
123 5.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
124 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
125 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
126 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
127 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
128 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
129 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
130 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
131 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
132 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
133 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
134 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
135 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
136 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
137
138 5.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
139 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
140 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
141 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
142 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
143 documentation for caveats.
144 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
145 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
146 AnyEvent::Handle).
147 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
148 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
149
150 5.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
151 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
152 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
153 the availabilty of a default loop!
154 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
155 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
156 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
157 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
158 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
159 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
160 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
161 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
162
163 5.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
164 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
165 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
166 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
167 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
168 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
169 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
170 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
171 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
172 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
173 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
174 as part of the perl core.
175 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
176 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
177 minimal perl...).
178
179 5.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
180 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
181 actually used in tcp_server.
182 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
183 missing.
184 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
185 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
186 resulting in more informative error messages.
187 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
188 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
189 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
190 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
191 of AnyEvent::TLS.
192 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
193 requested by Ron Isaacson.
194 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
195 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
196 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
197 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
198 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
199
200 5.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
201 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
202
203 5.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
204 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
205 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
206 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
207 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
208 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
209 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
210 - better/more condvar examples.
211
212 5.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
213 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
214 time (found by Andy Grundman).
215
216 5.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
217 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
218 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
219 by Bas Denissen).
220 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
221 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
222 EV and Perl backends.
223 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
224 backends.
225 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
226 never documented nor universally supported).
227 - some more memory µ-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
228 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
229
230 5.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
231 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
232 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
233 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
234
235 5.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
236 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
237 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
238 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
239 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
240 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
241 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
242 by lucky accident on win32.
243 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
244 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
245 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
246 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
247 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
248 detection and eval.
249 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
250 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
251 (same algorithm as EV).
252 - update unicode idna mapping table.
253
254 5.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
255 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
256 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
257 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
258 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
259
260 5.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
261 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
262 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
263 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
264 - provide $AE::VERSION.
265 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
266
267 5.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
268 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
269 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
270 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
271 when passing scalar data to extensions).
272 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
273 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
274 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
275 (John Beppu).
276 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
277 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
278 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
279 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
280
281 5.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
282 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
283 (spotted by David Friedland).
284 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
285 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
286 unless you rip out everything but the core).
287 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
288 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
289
290 5.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
291 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
292 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
293 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
294 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
295 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
296
297 5.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
298 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
299 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
300 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
301 (analysed by elmex).
302
303 5.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
304 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
305 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
306 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
307 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
308 AnyEvent::Handle.
309 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
310 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
311 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
312 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
313
314 5.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
315 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
316 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
317 by Michael S. Fischer).
318 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
319 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
320 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
321 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
322 by default.
323 - fix some prototypes.
324 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
325 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
326
327 5.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
328 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
329 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
330 - port to broken win32 perls.
331
332 5.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
333 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
334 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
335 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
336 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
337 OSes as well).
338
339 5.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
340 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
341 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
342 to reduce dependency on JSON.
343
344 5.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
345 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
346 one (was broken since 4.91).
347 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
348 when retrying a tcp_connect.
349 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
350 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
351
352 5.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
353 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
354
355 5.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
356 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
357 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
358 in AnyEvent::Handle.
359 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
360 settings.
361 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
362 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
363 exporting the probe function).
364 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
365 code to work around it's watcher limits.
366 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
367 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
368 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
369 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
370 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
371
372 4.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
373 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
374 already contains some TLS handshake.
375 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
376 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
377 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
378 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
379 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
380
381 4.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
382 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
383 a negative value, so avoid that.
384 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
385 after the condition is already signalled.
386 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
387 data.
388 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
389 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
390 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
391 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
392 any issues).
393 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
394 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
395 by name (not name or number).
396 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
397 only compiling signal code when necessary.
398 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
399 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
400 said future/alternative API.
401 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
402
403 4.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
404 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
405 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
406 (analysed by elmex).
407
408 4.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
409 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
410 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
411 for errors after every push_write etc.
412 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
413 platforms.
414
415 4.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
416 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
417 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
418 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
419 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
420 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
421 tutorial accordingly.
422 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
423
424 4.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
425 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
426 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
427 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
428 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
429 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
430 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
431 in IO::Async.
432
433 4.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
434 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
435 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
436 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
437 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
438 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
439 documentation.
440 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
441 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
442 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
443 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
444 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
445 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
446
447 4.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
448 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
449 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
450 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
451 this trap.
452 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
453 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
454 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
455 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
456 on_read callbacks.
457 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
458
459 4.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
460 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
461 callbacks.
462 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
463 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
464 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
465 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
466 Event::Lib.
467 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
468 to rarely fail.
469
470 4.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
471 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
472 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
473 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
474 in AnyEvent->io.
475 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
476 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
477 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
478 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
479 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
480 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
481 portable_socketpair.
482 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
483 YMMV.
484
485 4.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
486 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
487 uppercase targets.
488 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
489 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
490 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
491 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
492 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
493 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
494 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
495 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
496 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
497 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
498 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
499 in the common case.
500 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
501 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
502 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
503 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
504 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
505 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
506 from the constructor.
507 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
508 then fall back to JSON.
509 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
510 and because it was documented that way.
511
512 4.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
513 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
514 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
515
516 4.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
517 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
518 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
519 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
520 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
521 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
522 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
523 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
524 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
525 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
526
527 4.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
528 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
529 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
530 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
531 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
532 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
533
534 4.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
535 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
536 and set it on the default resolver.
537 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
538 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
539 when running in tainted mode.
540 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
541
542 4.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
543 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
544
545 4.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
546 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
547 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
548 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
549 destructors.
550 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
551 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
552 implementation.
553 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
554 for cosmetic reasons.
555
556 4.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
557 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
558 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
559 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
560 - sped up Tk timer handling.
561 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
562 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
563 - fix Qt timers without interval.
564 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
565
566 4.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
567 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
568 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
569 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
570
571 4.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
572 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
573 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
574 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
575 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
576
577 4.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
578 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
579 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
580 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
581 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
582 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
583 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
584 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
585 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
586 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
587 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
588 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
589
590 4.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
591 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
592 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
593 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
594 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
595 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
596 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
597 backend.
598 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
599
600 4.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
601 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
602 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
603 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
604 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
605 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
606 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
607
608 4.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
609 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
610 illegal.
611 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
612 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
613 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
614 by Adam Rosenstein).
615 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
616 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
617 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
618
619 4.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
620 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
621 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
622 the socket type.
623 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
624
625 4.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
626 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
627 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
628 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
629 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
630 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
631 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
632
633 4.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
634 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
635 unless one has been installed already.
636 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
637 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
638 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle.
639 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
640 client would first wait for some data by the server and
641 otherwise hang. (reported and analysed in an absolutely
642 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
643 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
644 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
645 (reported and analysed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
646 Rosenstein).
647 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
648 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
649 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
650 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
651 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
652 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
653 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
654 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
655 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
656 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
657 now, more to come, though.
658 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
659
660 4.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
661 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
662 no trace events.
663 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
664 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
665 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
666 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
667 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
668 Time::HiRes).
669
670 4.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
671 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
672 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
673
674 4.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
675 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
676 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
677 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
678 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
679
680 4.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
681 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
682 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
683 perls without resource leaks or worse).
684
685 4.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
686 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
687 the callback.
688 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
689 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
690 eol marker.
691 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
692 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
693 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
694
695 4.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
696 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
697 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
698 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
699 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
700 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
701
702 4.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
703 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
704 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
705 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
706 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
707 unusable way.
708 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
709 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
710 K. Sharifulin).
711
712 4.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
713 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
714 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
715 be delayed under some circumstances.
716 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
717 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
718 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
719 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
720 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
721 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
722
723 4.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
724 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
725 assumption that all data could be written before read
726 (reported by Jim Razmus).
727
728 4.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
729 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
730 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
731 implementation (also affected child watchers).
732 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
733
734 4.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
735 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
736 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
737 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
738
739 4.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
740 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
741 works.
742
743 4.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
744 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
745 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
746 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
747 for AnyEvent::Handle.
748 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
749 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
750
751 4.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
752 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
753 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
754 executing the guard block as warnings.
755 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
756
757 4.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
758 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
759 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
760 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
761 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
762 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
763 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
764 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
765 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
766 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
767 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
768 enter an endless loop.
769 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
770 busy again after idling.
771 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
772 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
773 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
774 (hopefully).
775 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
776 away any time.
777
778 4.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
779 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
780 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
781 - allow more options in on_error.
782
783 4.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
784 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
785 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
786 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
787 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
788 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
789 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
790 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
791 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
792 rfc 2782.
793 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
794 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
795 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
796 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
797 could die. this has been fixed.
798 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
799 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
800 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
801 for resolver class.
802 - update version numbers in all modules.
803
804 4.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
805 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
806 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
807 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
808 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
809 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
810 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
811 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
812 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
813 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
814 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
815 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
816 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
817 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
818 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
819 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
820 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
821 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
822 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
823 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
824 but EV also works around this).
825 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
826 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
827 vs. callback arguments.
828 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
829
830 4.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
831 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
832 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
833 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
834 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
835
836 4.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
837 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
838 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
839 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
840 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
841 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
842 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
843 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
844 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
845 sake of perl 5.8.
846 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
847 (still a hack...)
848 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
849 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
850 die handlers.
851
852 4.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
853 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
854 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
855 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
856 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
857 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
858 - updated documentation.
859 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
860 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
861 in AnyEvent::Handle.
862 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
863 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
864 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
865 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
866
867 4.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
868 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
869 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
870 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
871 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
872 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
873 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
874 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
875 verbatim ip addresses.
876 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
877 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
878 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
879 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
880 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
881 become writable until empty.
882 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
883 returns ENOTCONN.
884 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
885 override.
886 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
887
888 3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
889 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
890 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
891 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
892 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
893 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
894 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
895 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
896 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
897 first and second argument.
898 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
899 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
900 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
901 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
902 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
903
904 3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
905 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
906
907 3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
908 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
909 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
910 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
911 (still subject to change).
912 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
913 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
914 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
915 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
916 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
917 via Coro::AnyEvent.
918
919 3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
920 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
921 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
922 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
923 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
924 the different event loops with each other.
925 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
926 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
927 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
928 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
929 kept alive.
930 - document the race between loading of an event module and
931 child processes exiting.
932 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
933 enough, and darn slow).
934 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
935 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
936 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
937 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
938 faster than Event and Glib :).
939 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
940 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
941 to other event loops where possible.
942
943 3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
944 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
945 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
946 for the same fh/poll combo).
947 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
948 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
949 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
950 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
951 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
952
953 3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
954 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
955 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
956 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
957 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
958 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
959 - do not send the signal to the process group
960 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
961
962 3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
963 - major documentation rework.
964 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
965 - fix the child watcher example.
966
967 3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
968 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
969 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
970 don't get fixed anytime soon).
971 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
972 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
973 such strong limits).
974 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
975 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
976 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
977 any restrictions...).
978 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
979
980 3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
981 - Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
982 up the Coro implementation in general.
983 - rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
984 - add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
985 help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
986
987 2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
988 - update for EV 3.0 API changes.
989
990 2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
991 - waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
992 instead of reporting it to any watchers.
993
994 2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
995 - force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
996 too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
997 - deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
998 or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
999 watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
1000 (except when Event or EV are installed).
1001
1002 2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
1003 - fix bug in testsuite.
1004 - move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
1005 - add Coro+EV adaptor module.
1006
1007 2.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
1008 - add EV to the list of supported event models.
1009 - do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
1010 - allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
1011
1012 2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
1013 - work around a perl bug that results in
1014 BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
1015 any discernible reason or error message by once
1016 again not use'ing strict.
1017
1018 2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
1019 - make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
1020
1021 2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
1022 - child watchers stopped working permanently when
1023 all current child watchers were destroyed.
1024
1025 2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
1026 - work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
1027 true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
1028
1029 2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
1030 - avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
1031 - AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
1032 - implement signal watchers (experimental)
1033 (Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
1034 so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
1035 - implement child watchers (experimental).
1036 - moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
1037 most implementation modules.
1038
1039 2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
1040 - better docs.
1041 - simple testsuite.
1042 - added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
1043
1044 2.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
1045 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
1046 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
1047 - EXPERIMENTAL:
1048 new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
1049 event model.
1050 - improved documentation.
1051 - reduced cpu overhead.
1052
1053 1.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006
1054 - add COPYING to clarify license.
1055
1056 1.01 Sun Jan 8 05:48:09 CET 2006
1057 - correctly cancel Event timers, avoid memory leaks.
1058
1059 1.0 Sun Jan 8 05:40:58 CET 2006
1060 - allow third-party interfaces to be added at runtime.
1061 - fix version number.
1062
1063 0.9 Fri Dec 30 02:25:41 CET 2005
1064 - fixed errors in the documentation.
1065 - going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
1066 as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
1067 this method.
1068 - add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
1069 and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
1070 glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
1071 (older) versions of glib.
1072 - implemented PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE env variable.
1073
1074 0.3 Sun Dec 4 10:43:33 CET 2005
1075 - no changes to the code.
1076 - fixed documentation.
1077 - clarified some corner cases.
1078 - vastly improved documentation with a long example.
1079
1080 0.2 Thu Dec 1 22:18:49 CET 2005
1081 - check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
1082 - move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
1083 - don't die when some modules are not available.
1084 - Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works.
1085
1086 0.1 Thu Dec 1 19:44:57 CET 2005
1087 - spiced up and cleaned up for release.
1088
1089 0.01 Tue Sep 21 18:12:09 CEST 2004
1090 - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
1091
