AnyEvent
view release on metacpan or search on metacpan
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
- 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
(reported by Torsten Foertsch).
- common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
(analysed by elmex).
5.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
package names (the facility was mostly abused).
- implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
AnyEvent::Handle.
- AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
- oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
- the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
5.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
- be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
by Michael S. Fischer).
- use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
- fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
- do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
by default.
- fix some prototypes.
- (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
- replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
5.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
- AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
- port to broken win32 perls.
5.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
- perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
OSes as well).
5.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
- fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
- create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
to reduce dependency on JSON.
5.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
- tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
one (was broken since 4.91).
- AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
when retrying a tcp_connect.
- new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
- fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
5.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
- last release broke EV child watchers :/.
5.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
- officially introduce and document the AE API.
- lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
in AnyEvent::Handle.
- AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
settings.
- don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
in IO::Async.
4.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
- nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
(see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
- take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
- load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
- add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
documentation.
- reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
- work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
- improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
- made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
4.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
- implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
- AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
this trap.
- AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
- clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
on_read callbacks.
- ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
4.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
- POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
callbacks.
- use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
- use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
Event::Lib.
- work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
to rarely fail.
4.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
- AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
(it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
- support file descriptors in addition to file handles
in AnyEvent->io.
- 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
( run in 0.646 second using v1.01-cache-2.11-cpan-39bf76dae61 )
