AnyEvent
view release on metacpan or search on metacpan
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.
- added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
creation, with many options including hostname verification,
secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
- use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
- load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
in the common case.
- add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
- add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
- add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
- make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early connection
failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
from the constructor.
- AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
then fall back to JSON.
- format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
and because it was documented that way.
4.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
- do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
4.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
- a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
- special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
- updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
- implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
- slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
- expand condvar begin/end documentation.
4.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
- preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
- reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
even when the calling env acts stupidly.
- updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
4.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
- support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
and set it on the default resolver.
- implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
- remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
when running in tainted mode.
- mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
4.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
- do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
4.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
- work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
- use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
destructors.
- speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
implementation.
- AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
for cosmetic reasons.
4.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
- implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
- AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
- fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
- sped up Tk timer handling.
- clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
to avoid spamming out warning messages.
- fix Qt timers without interval.
- avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
4.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
- fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
- fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
- add AnyEvent->now_update.
4.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
- actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
- localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
- set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
4.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
- event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
- AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
(patch by Pavel Shaydo).
- work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
- document that changing global variables without restoring them
is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
- AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
4.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
- separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
- raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
- fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
- speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
backend.
- use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
4.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
- socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
(AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
- new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
- take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
4.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
- AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
illegal.
- reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
- add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
by Adam Rosenstein).
- AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
- the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
4.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
- fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
the socket type.
- fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
4.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
- implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
- hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
- speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
- work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
- with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
4.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
- AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
unless one has been installed already.
- warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
(patch by Adam Rosenstein).
- fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle.
- fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
client would first wait for some data by the server and
otherwise hang. (reported and analysed in an absolutely
exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
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).
- implement child watchers (experimental).
- moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
most implementation modules.
2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
- better docs.
- simple testsuite.
- added AnyEvent->one_event method for special purposes.
2.0 Wed Nov 1 02:21:30 CET 2006
- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: poll can now either be "r" or "w" but not both.
- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: io watcher callbacks have no arguments anymore.
- EXPERIMENTAL:
new pure-perl model added, AnyEvent now always finds a suitable
event model.
- improved documentation.
- reduced cpu overhead.
1.02 Fri Jan 13 14:15:40 CET 2006
- add COPYING to clarify license.
1.01 Sun Jan 8 05:48:09 CET 2006
- correctly cancel Event timers, avoid memory leaks.
