AnyEvent
view release on metacpan or search on metacpan
- 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"
*literally* means that string. sheesh.
- the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
to work around.
- renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
6.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011
- 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.
- new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
- provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
- add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
- added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
portable_socketpair.
- tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
YMMV.
4.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
- AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
uppercase targets.
- AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
- 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.
