Changes for version 4.13 - 2008-06-05

  • 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.
