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