AnyEvent
view release on metacpan or search on metacpan
- 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.
- 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
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
(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.
- do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
- hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
- inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
4.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
- AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
already contains some TLS handshake.
- AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
- AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
- convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
4.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
- Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
a negative value, so avoid that.
- call condvar callback immediately when it is set
after the condition is already signalled.
- check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
data.
- normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
- pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
any issues).
- new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
- AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
by name (not name or number).
- reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
only compiling signal code when necessary.
- add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
- grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
said future/alternative API.
- new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
4.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
- work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
(analysed by elmex).
4.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
- re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
for errors after every push_write etc.
- do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
platforms.
4.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
- do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
- enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
segfault in Net::SSLeay.
- AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
tutorial accordingly.
- add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
4.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
- since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
- work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
- try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
- work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
- 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
- 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.
- fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
- on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
- SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
now, more to come, though.
- added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
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).
- 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.
1.0 Sun Jan 8 05:40:58 CET 2006
- allow third-party interfaces to be added at runtime.
- fix version number.
0.9 Fri Dec 30 02:25:41 CET 2005
- fixed errors in the documentation.
- going back to using $VERSION as "load check",
as suggested by Jörn Reder. Let's see why I stopped using
this method.
- add 'hup' to the list of events to receive for glib
and generate 'rw' events for it, as some versions of
glib seem to require this, while this breaks other
(older) versions of glib.
- implemented PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE env variable.
0.3 Sun Dec 4 10:43:33 CET 2005
- no changes to the code.
- fixed documentation.
- clarified some corner cases.
- vastly improved documentation with a long example.
0.2 Thu Dec 1 22:18:49 CET 2005
- check whether a valid method was called, to avoid endless loops.
- move condvars into their own class (cleaner, safer).
- don't die when some modules are not available.
- Tk is too broken to allow for words. Will work once Tk works.
0.1 Thu Dec 1 19:44:57 CET 2005
- spiced up and cleaned up for release.
0.01 Tue Sep 21 18:12:09 CEST 2004
- original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
