Changes for version 2.017

  • Thanks to Paul Evans <pevans@cpan.org> "<LeoNerd>" hint about IO::Socket rudely force importing random symbols.
  • Warn clean IO::Socket::INET6 "Subroutine redefined" spewage.
  • Thanks to Grok4 xAI for conjuring up several patches.
  • Thanks to Rob Brown <bbb@cpan.org> for applying patches.
  • Various test suite framework improvements.
  • Make test suites return non-zero upon failure.
  • Fix IPv6 pre-check for tests.
  • Timeout test server if client crashes, instead of rudely mooching on the listen port forever in the background.
  • Warn clean for older MakeMaker, such as 6.30.
  • Fix POD errors.
  • Allow static Proto methods to be imported as normal routines.
  • Create Net::Server::IP compatibility wrapper module.
  • Honor {ipv6_package} config preference more reliably.
  • GetAddrInfoFlags compatibility patch for systems with spoofed networks on loopback interfaces using IO::Socket::IP.
  • Now IPv4 & IPv6 finally works with OpenVZ or fake loopback or venet0 or even on IPv6-only machines even without public routability for that AF_* Address Family. These used to fail.
  • Handle special IPv6 behaviors, like OpenBSD and WinXP.
  • Emulate IO::Socket::IP {V6Only} behavior for IO:Socket::INET6.
  • Fall back to IO::Socket::INET if no IPv6 module available.
  • Various SSLEAY fixes:
  • Add more SSLEAY tests to help with debugging.
  • Fixed errors on older Net::SSLeay < 1.49.
  • Fix tied SYSREAD $scalar input syntax instead of only ref \$scalar sysread FILEHANDLE,SCALAR,LENGTH,OFFSET
  • Fix SSLEAY->read_until logic
  • Fixed some errors with newer Net::SSLeay & OpenSSL 3.x:
  • 167772454. error:0A000126:SSL routines::unexpected eof while reading 167772567. error:0A000197:SSL routines::shutdown while in init
