7.17 Wed Sep 18 03:04:49 CEST 2019
- work around antique openssl version in RHEL 7 by formatting
dh parameters differently (reported by several people).
- add t/13_weaken.t.
7.16 Fri Jul 19 18:00:21 CEST 2019
- add ffdhe group dh parameters from RFC 7919, and use ffdhe3072
as new default, instead of schmorp1539.
- AnyEvent::Log did not reassess logging status of
AnyEvent::Log::logger's when contexts were changed with
->attach/detach/slaves, causing them to not log even though a
recent attach should have caused them to log.
- added some more logging configuration examples.
- mention RFC 8482 in AnyEvent::DNS.
7.15 Tue Feb 26 03:07:42 CET 2019
- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Handle's tls_detect documentation gave
separate major and minor versions, while code passed only a single
value. This version follows the documentation and now passes separate
major and minor values.
- work around Net::SSLeay not having been ported to openssl 1.1, but many
distributions compiling it against openssl 1.1, which unfortunately
succeeds and results in a very broken module.
- AnyEvent::DNS::dns_unpack now stores the original DNS packet
in the __ member, to allow decoding of undecodable resouce records
containing compressed domian names.
- AnyEvent::Socket::parse_ipv6 would NOT, as advertised, accept ipv4
addresses. It now does and converts them to ipv4 mapped addresses.
- support CAA records, based on patch by Steve Atkins.
- add freenom and cloudflare nameservers as dns fallback.
- AnyEvent::Strict would not properly ward against io watchers
on files when the handle passed was a file descriptor.
- document "internal" variables used by the dns en-/decoder to allow
enterprising users to extend them in a semi-official way.
7.14 Sat Jun 24 01:44:19 CEST 2017
- fix a crash bug in AnyEvent::Handle with openssl 1.1.0 (patched
by Paul Howarth and apparently tracked down by Mike McCauley).
- AnyEvent::Handle->keepalive was documented (and defined) twice
(found by Matt Merhar).
- AnyEvent::Socket::tcp_bind/tcp_server would immediately unlink a unix
listening socket unless a guard is used. Change this so that no
cleanup will be performed unless a guard is used and document this more
clearly.
- make tcp_bind/tcp_server error messages more regular.
- work around latest perl upstream breakage - this time, perl5porters were
apparently bullied by a bogus CVE (CVE-2016-1238), and since distros
stupidly apply anything that has "security fix" stamped on it, it's likely
going to be a problem in practise (and working around it is trivial on
windows and unix).
- add TCP_FASTOPEN/MSG_FASTOPEN and MSG_NOSIGNAL/MSG_MORE/MSG_DONTWAIT
to constants.
- update warnings to common::sense 3.74 standards.
7.13 Sat Sep 17 04:31:49 CEST 2016
- Only call tlsext_host_name for non-empty common names (reported
by Maxime Soulé).
- log a (single) notice message if SNI is not supported.
- upgrade to UTS-46:9.0.0 draft and switch to non-transitional
behaviour, beating thunderbird, ie, edge, chrome and safari to it :)
(see also https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1218179)
- turns out the UTS-46 IDNA testcase failures were indeed bugs in the
testcases and the specification and not in the code - the post-9.0.0
unicode files have all known problems fixed, so finally the AnyEvent
IDNA implementation can pass the full IDNA testsuite - without needing
a single fix :)
- guarantee (and document) that condvar callbacks will be removed
on invocation - important to avoid circular references.
7.12 Wed Jan 27 19:12:26 CET 2016
- use common name as hostname for tls connects, if Net::SSLeay
supports SNI.
- fix documentation of tls_autostart read type in AnyEvent::Handle,
analyzed by Felix Ostmann.
7.11 Thu Jul 16 14:36:00 CEST 2015
- AnyEvent::Socket::parse_ipv6 could accept malformed ipv6
addresses (extra "::" at end and similar cases).
- add a more explicit warning to AnyEvent::Handle that it doesn't
work on files, people keep getting confused.
- new function AnyEvent::Socket::tcp_bind.
- new functions AnyEvent::fh_block and AnyEvent::fh_unblock.
- aligned ipv6 address formatting with RFC 5952 (by not shortening
a single :0: to ::).
- added stability canary support.
7.09 Sat May 2 16:38:53 CEST 2015
- AnyEvent::Debug called an internal function (AnyEvent::Log::ft)
that was renamed to AnyEvent::Log:format_time. uinder its old name
(analyzed by Michael Stovenour).
- update AnyEvent::DNS fallback resolver addresses:
seems google effectively killed most other free dns resolvers,
so remove them, but add cable and wireless (ecrc) since it was
stable for 20 years or so, official or not, and there should be
an alternative to google.
- perl5porters broke windows error codes in 5.20, and mapped
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
of causing EBADMSG (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
- work around a bug in openssl 1.0.1 which enforces a minimum rsa
keysize (reported by Paul Howarth).
- documented Rocco fabricating statements about AnyEvent and me.
6.14 Tue Jan 31 20:00:24 CET 2012
- AnyEvent::Impl::Tk was broken due to a mysterious "die" inside,
probably an editing mistake (reported by Darin McBride).
6.13 Thu Jan 12 07:27:01 CET 2012
- AnyEvent::Util::fork_call checked for POSIX availability in the wrong way,
causing it to fail if POSIX wasn't loaded already (analysed by Rock Power).
- AnyEvent::Handle::push_read (line => did pass $1 directly, so
regex-matching inside the callback would change the parameter, despite
$1 being dynamically scoped per-block. this perl bug is now being
worked around (testcase by Cindy Wang).
6.12 Mon Dec 12 13:21:10 CET 2011
- $! was clobbered by subsequent calls in tcp_connect, due to
the postpone not saving/restoring it (analyzed by Richard Garnish).
6.11 Tue Nov 22 10:36:05 CET 2011
- Tk cannot create windows when tainted unless you set a title, so
set a dummy title for AnyEvent's dummy mainwindow. How dummy.
- escape any nonprintable/nonascii characters when stringifying
backtraces.
- log the reason loading an interface module fails to load at level debug.
6.1 Tue Oct 4 19:44:30 CEST 2011
- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
to higher log levels to print by default.
- AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
- work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
how that module sucks.
- add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
of 127.0.0.1).
- give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
- AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
- AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to.
- AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
intervals.
- skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
- increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
delivery.
- mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
- new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
- private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
of the context as title.
- AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback
died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging...
- detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
AnyEvent.
6.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
- log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
- log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
AnyEvent::Socket.
- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
methods.
- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
- DEPRECIATION: please change
"use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
"AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
in your programs, for future compatibility.
- *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
- AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
- querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
instead (reported by James Bromberger).
- make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
- new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
- new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
- new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
- new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
a debug shell.
- new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
- new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
/etc/hosts can be found.
- an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
configuration.
- env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
- lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
- AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications of $_ by the callback
(by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
- IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
- split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
- some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
(reported by Mohammad Toossi).
- AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
supports /etc/hosts overrides.
- add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
and (newly introduced) in POE.
- use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
- add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
- many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
(reported by Gerald Galster).
- improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
do not support blocking waits.
- PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
- add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
- add t/80_ssltext.t.
- no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
- tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
- do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
copies of AnyEvent::detect.
- parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
- suppress the idiotic warning inside POE by patching the POE::Kernel
run flags instead of asking the user to jump through contortions.
- add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
- replace PF_UNSPEC by 0, for good old minix.
6.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/)
5.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
- AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
- improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
5.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
- never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
- AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
- update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
- preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
- remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
- fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
- passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
- passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
5.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
- work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
- fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
- stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
documentation for caveats.
- update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
AnyEvent::Handle).
- AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
- new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
5.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
- major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
the availabilty of a default loop!
- implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
- added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
- the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
- clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
- set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
- try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
5.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
- convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
- AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
5.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
- due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
actually used in tcp_server.
- implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
missing.
- support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
- AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
resulting in more informative error messages.
- new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
- clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
- put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
of AnyEvent::TLS.
- support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
requested by Ron Isaacson.
- document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
- incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
- AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
- add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
5.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
- backport to perl 5.8.x.
5.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
- postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
(found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
- explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
- simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
- better/more condvar examples.
5.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
- AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
time (found by Andy Grundman).
5.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
- don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
by Bas Denissen).
- give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
- provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
EV and Perl backends.
- provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
backends.
- no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
never documented nor universally supported).
- some more memory µ-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
5.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
- make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
5.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
- fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
- added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
- speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
- the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
by lucky accident on win32.
- smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
- when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
did not fall back to built-in time properly.
- do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
- precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
detection and eval.
- free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
- Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
(same algorithm as EV).
- update unicode idna mapping table.
5.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
- cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
- improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
5.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
- support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
- implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
- provide $AE::VERSION.
- removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
5.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
- downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
(this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
when passing scalar data to extensions).
- add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
- upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
- use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
(John Beppu).
- AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
- add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
5.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
- fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
(spotted by David Friedland).
- fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
- improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
unless you rip out everything but the core).
- prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
5.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
- AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
(analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
- AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
5.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
- AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
4.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
- fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
no trace events.
- mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
- perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
- run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
Time::HiRes).
4.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
- fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
- clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
4.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
- fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
(testcase by Leon Brocard).
- clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
4.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
- remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
(and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
perls without resource leaks or worse).
4.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
- document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
the callback.
- add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
- optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
eol marker.
- optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
- invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
- fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
4.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
- new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
- as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
4.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
- work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
unusable way.
- avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
K. Sharifulin).
4.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
- support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
- fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
be delayed under some circumstances.
- implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
- not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
- more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
- minor optimisations applied to most backends.
4.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
- fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
assumption that all data could be written before read
(reported by Jim Razmus).
4.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
- re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
implementation (also affected child watchers).
- new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
4.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
- allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
4.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
- make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
works.
4.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
- the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
one watcher was registered for the same fd.
- new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
for AnyEvent::Handle.
- allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
- do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
4.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
- Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
- AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
executing the guard block as warnings.
- handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
4.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
- AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
- AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
- fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
enter an endless loop.
- correctly start reading again when the handle became
busy again after idling.
- correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
(for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
- correctly call eof callback under all conditions
(hopefully).
- the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
away any time.
4.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
- include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
( run in 0.753 second using v1.01-cache-2.11-cpan-acf6aa7dc9e )
