WSAEWOULDBLOCK on the (different) EWOULDBLOCK error code, and
WSAEINPROGRESS into the incompatible ERINPROGRESS code, probably
because they were so cool. They probably broke other error codes
for no reason, too, but I didn't care for checking, it's too
depressing. This version only works around the WSAEWOULDBLOCK
issue, because I don't have a nice way to work around the
WSAEINPROGRESS bug.
7.08 Wed Dec 10 05:27:17 CET 2014
- work around a newly introduced bug in Socket 2.011 (an
errornous sun_length check) (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
- AnyEvent::TLS didn't load (but refer to) AnyEvent::Socket
(analyzed by Ben Magistro).
- AnyEvent::Strict will now confess, not croak. This is in line with
it being a development/debugging tool.
- work around a number of libglib bugs (debug builds of libglib enforce
certain undocumented behaviour patterns such as not being able to
remove a child watch source after it has fired, which we will try
to emulate to avoid "criticals". what where they thinking...).
- mention json security issues in AnyEvent::Handle, now that Douglas
Crockford has foolishly and incompatibly changed JSON.
- changed default dns resolver "max_outstanding" value from 1 to 10,
the latter beinfg the intended value all along
(reported by Ilya Chesnokov).
- added new "AnyEvent::Impl::UV" interface module to the UV event lib
(written by Mike Lowell).
7.07 Tue Dec 17 17:45:02 CET 2013
- the documentation for custom tls verify schemes was wrong. make it agree
with the code (reported by Maxime Soulé).
- added cbor read and write types to AnyEvent::Handle (using CBOR::XS).
- work around an API change in openssl that could cause wrong tls connection
aborts, likely on windows only (analyzed by sten).
- calling AnyEvent->now_update with AnyEvent::Impl::Perl caused an
endless loop (reported by Dietrich Rebmann).
- add tlsv1_1 and tlsv1_2 protocols to AnyEvent::TLS
(patch by Maxime Soulé).
- document AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync::set_loop and
$AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync::LOOP. Though only documented now, this
functionality has _always_ been available.
- force a toplevel domain name in t/81_hosts.t (analyzed by
David Jack Wange Olrik).
- document that AnyEvent::Log uses AnyEvent::IO.
- warn about AnyEvent::Filesys::Notify performance.
- praise the joys of AnyEvent::Fork::*.
- time for an =encoding directive.
- do no longer use JSON to create a default json coder, use
JSON::XS or JSON::PP directly.
7.05 Wed Aug 21 10:38:08 CEST 2013
- uts46data.pl couldn't be found due to wrong naming of the file
(reported by Fulko Hew).
- handle lone \015's properly in AE::Handle's default line read
(reported by various people).
- untaint ip addresses found in /etc/hosts (patch by José Micó).
- the memleak fix in 7.03 caused resolving via /etc/hosts to always
fail on first use (reported and testcase by Andrew Whatson).
- expose AnyEvent::Log::format_time, and allow users to redefine it.
- expose AnyEvent::Log::default_format, and allow redefinition.
- expose AnyEvent::Log::fatal_exit, to allow redefinition.
- AnyEvent::Debug shell can now run coro shell commands, if available.
- t/63* tests were wrongly in MANIFEST.
- kernel.org's finger server went MIA, switch to freebsd.org and
icculus.org.
- clarify that IO::AIO and AnyEvent::AIO are needed for AnyEvent::IO
to function asynchronously (reported by Daniel Carosone).
- hard-disable $^W in most tests, it generates too much garbage output.
- use a (hopefully) more future-proof method to emulate common::sense.
- upgrade to UTS-46:6.2.0.
- switch to INSTLIB from INSTLIBDIR, as INSTLIBDIR was wrongly
documented. should not affect anything.
7.04 Thu Nov 15 02:23:58 CET 2012
- debugging code left in.
7.03 Thu Nov 15 02:16:11 CET 2012
- AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton did not work when dns resolution was
used to find the addresses (analyzed and patch by Maxime Soulé).
- fix a memory leak in the /etc/hosts lookup code when hosts don't
resolve and are not in hosts (analyzed by sten).
7.02 Tue Aug 14 04:27:58 CEST 2012
- AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd could block indefinitely (analyzed and test
program by Yorhel).
- verified that AnyEvent::Socket follows RFC5952.
- try to parse "ADDR#PORT" in addition to "ADDR PORT".
7.01 Sun May 13 01:03:17 CEST 2012
- fail with EPROTO in AnyEvent::Handle wqhen TLS is requested but
not available, instead of throwing an exception.
- use File::Spec to get the tmpdir in t/*, to avoid needless
failures on (most, not mine :) windows boxes.
- new handle read types: tls_detect and tls_autostart.
7.0 Fri Apr 13 06:33:30 CEST 2012
- child watchers are broken in POE 1.352 (also many earlier
versions) and there seems to be no way to work around it, as POE
itself is inherently racy. Document this regression and add a delay
in t/68_poe_03_child.t for the time being.
- new module AnyEvent::IO, that is a frontend to either a pure-perl
synchronous I/O implementation (AnyEvent::IO::Perl), or to the
asynchronous I/O extension IO::AIO (AnyEvent::IO::IOAIO).
- load /etc/hosts only when DNS has no answer.
- stat /etc/hosts on every access and reload it if it changed.
- load /etc/hosts via AnyEvent::IO - potentially asynchronous.
- fix a buggy croak in the dh parameter reading in AnyEvent::TLS.
- AnyEvent::Log log_to_file and log_to_path now use AnyEvent::IO. As
a side effect, they now use true appending as opposed to libc
appending, and the file might not have been opened when the function
returns.
- the default logging level was not properly documented in a variety of
places, this has hopefully been rectified.
- updated uts46data.pl for unicode 6.1.0.
- made log messages generated by AnyEvent submodules not
include the package name anymore, as it will be logged
by default already.
- upgrade to the trick used by common-sense 3.5 to work
around extra warning torture/breakage under perl 5.15.x.
- log messages by anyevent are now ucfirst, are usually full
sentences and do no longer include the package name.
- the storable read type would sometimes throw an exception instead
- AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
- fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
- updated documentation.
- lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
- implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
in AnyEvent::Handle.
- support IPv6 in tcp_server.
- pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
- make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
- croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
4.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
- added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
- added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
- added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
- make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
- make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
- overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
- support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
verbatim ip addresses.
- AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
- try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
- make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
- support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
- work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
become writable until empty.
- only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
returns ENOTCONN.
- defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
override.
- new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
- gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
(as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
- added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
- added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
- added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
- AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
- fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
first and second argument.
- simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
- fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
- considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
- work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
- complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much more useful
API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
- AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
(still subject to change).
- take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
- provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
(used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
- remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
via Coro::AnyEvent.
3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
- added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
- fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
- add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
the different event loops with each other.
- prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
but doesn't crash with many watchers.
- declare Qt support non-experimental.
- clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
kept alive.
- document the race between loading of an event module and
child processes exiting.
- support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
enough, and darn slow).
- support Wx and Prima through POE.
- optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
faster than Event and Glib :).
- roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
to other event loops where possible.
3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
- do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
for the same fh/poll combo).
- support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
- implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
- (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
- (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
- this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
- reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
- do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
- use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
- do not send the signal to the process group
(no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
- major documentation rework.
- document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
- fix the child watcher example.
3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
- work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
don't get fixed anytime soon).
- lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
(as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
such strong limits).
- changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
- explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
any restrictions...).
- add simple manpages for all backend modules.
3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
- Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
up the Coro implementation in general.
- rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
- add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
- update for EV 3.0 API changes.
2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
- waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
instead of reporting it to any watchers.
2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
- force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
- deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
watcher emulation. *Could* help with hanging testsuite
(except when Event or EV are installed).
2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
- fix bug in testsuite.
- move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
- add Coro+EV adaptor module.
2.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
- add EV to the list of supported event models.
- do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
- allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
- work around a perl bug that results in
BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
any discernible reason or error message by once
again not use'ing strict.
2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
- make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
- child watchers stopped working permanently when
all current child watchers were destroyed.
2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
- work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
- avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
- AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
- implement signal watchers (experimental)
(Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
