1 root 1.1 Revision history for Perl extension Coro.
2    
3 root 1.110 1.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
4     - some portability fixes/workarounds.
5    
6 root 1.107 1.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
7 root 1.108 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
8 root 1.106 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
9     Coro::State::flush method.
10 root 1.107 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
11 root 1.106
12 root 1.105 1.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
13 root 1.100 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
14 root 1.101 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
15 root 1.102 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
16 root 1.104 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
17 root 1.105 - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.
18 root 1.100
19 root 1.99 1.11 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
20     - change of contact address.
21    
22 root 1.98 1.1 Tue Feb 22 20:51:16 CET 2005
23 root 1.97 - support [l]inux method on amd64.
24 root 1.109 - allow some context switches while compiling/eval'ing.
25 root 1.97
26 root 1.96 1.0 Tue Aug 10 03:47:27 CEST 2004
27 root 1.95 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
28 root 1.96 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
29     padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
30 root 1.95
31 pcg 1.94 0.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
32     - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
33    
34 pcg 1.93 0.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
35 root 1.103 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
36 pcg 1.91 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
37     as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
38     Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
39     between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
40     fixable).
41 pcg 1.92 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
42 pcg 1.91
43 pcg 1.90 0.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
44 pcg 1.86 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
45     faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
46 pcg 1.87 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
47 pcg 1.88 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
48     observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
49     of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
50     pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
51 pcg 1.89 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
52 pcg 1.90 - fix for threaded perl.
53 pcg 1.86
54 pcg 1.85 0.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
55 pcg 1.84 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
56     memory leaks.
57     - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
58 pcg 1.85 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
59     hopefully ignoring it "just works".
60 pcg 1.84
61 pcg 1.83 0.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
62     - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
63 pcg 1.82 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
64    
65 root 1.81 0.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
66     - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
67     of new features.
68 root 1.80 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
69     Highly correct stuff, that is...
70 root 1.81 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
71     the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.
72 root 1.80
73 root 1.79 0.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
74 root 1.76 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
75 root 1.78 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
76 root 1.77 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
77     so preselect it.
78 root 1.76
79 root 1.75 0.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
80     - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost
81     on reading, reported by jason@nichego.net.
82 root 1.74
83 root 1.73 0.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
84 root 1.72 - added a README.linux-glibc.
85     - new module Coro::Select.
86     - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
87     (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
88 root 1.73 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
89 root 1.72
90 root 1.71 0.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
91     - made lazy context switching the default.
92     - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
93     was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
94     - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
95     - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
96    
97 root 1.70 0.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
98 root 1.69 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
99 root 1.70 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
100     - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
101     ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
102     - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
103     of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
104 root 1.69
105 root 1.68 0.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
106     - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
107     - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
108     could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
109    
110 root 1.67 0.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
111 root 1.66 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
112     (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
113     without Event, which freezes).
114 root 1.65
115 root 1.64 0.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
116 root 1.63 - Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.
117    
118 root 1.64 0.53 Tue Nov 27 21:11:13 CET 2001
119 root 1.60 - some tests for Event.
120 root 1.61 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
121     and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
122     new ones.
123     - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
124 root 1.62 - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.
125 root 1.60
126 root 1.64 0.52 Tue Nov 6 21:36:18 CET 2001
127 root 1.58 - ported to cygwin (trivial).
128     patch by Gerrit P. Haase <gp@familiehaase.de>.
129     - small setjmp code fix by Sullivan.DanielJ@epamail.epa.gov.
130    
131 root 1.64 0.51 Thu Nov 1 20:39:01 CET 2001
132 root 1.54 - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
133     could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
134     error.
135 root 1.55 - added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
136 root 1.56 - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.
137     - implemented terminate with args + join.
138 root 1.54
139 root 1.64 0.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001
140 root 1.53 - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.
141 root 1.50 - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
142     in various modules.
143     - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
144 root 1.52 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.
145 root 1.48
146 root 1.47 0.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
147 root 1.43 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
148     inside Coro::Handle.
149 root 1.44 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
150     speed reasons.
151     - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
152     sjlj and ucontext should now work.
153     - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
154 root 1.45 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
155 root 1.46 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.
156     - fixed a bug that caused segfault when returning to main task
157     under some circumstances.
158     - other bugfixes.
159 root 1.43
160 root 1.42 0.45 Sun Sep 2 02:54:01 CEST 2001
161 root 1.36 - new method Coro::Handle::timeout.
162     - corrected speling of set...name to get...name in Coro::Socket.
163     - Coro::Socket::accept now returns a Coro::Socket, not a Coro::Handle.
164     - Coro::Handle now supports fileno and FILENO.
165     - added eg/myhttpd, a web server.
166 root 1.37 - Coro::Socket now accepts numeric ports as well as "port(number)"
167     syntax.
168 root 1.38 - moved some scheduling primitives into xs code. more to come.
169 root 1.39 - new simple priority system.
170 root 1.40 - implemented Coro::Event using XS, almost four times faster!
171 root 1.41 - small memory corruption problem fixed (boy that was difficult).
172 root 1.36
173 root 1.35 0.13 Wed Aug 8 16:53:07 CEST 2001
174 root 1.31 - new method Coro::Handle::readline.
175 root 1.34 - added eg/lwp and Coro::Handle::autoflush, to make LWP work.
176     (see eg/lwp on how to make LWP non-blocking).
177 root 1.31 - renamed Coro::Socket::new_inet to new.
178 root 1.32 - added Coro::Util, some utility functions.
179 root 1.33 - die/eval now works better (still get annoying (but true ;)
180     "Callback called exit" messages).
181 root 1.34 - Coro::Handle now supports timeout, and Coro::Socket Timeout.
182     - much better Coro::Socket support.
183 root 1.31
184     0.12 Fri Jul 27 04:19:01 CEST 2001
185 root 1.29 - do not use mmap if neither MAP_ANON nor MAP_ANONYMOUS is defined.
186 root 1.34 - very experimental stack sharing algorithm. not 100% safe but
187 root 1.28 should work well in practise ;)
188 root 1.30 - added Coro::RWLock.
189 root 1.31 - Coro::Specific now works.
190 root 1.28
191     0.11 Tue Jul 24 22:49:21 CEST 2001

193     - renamed Coro::Event::IO to Coro::Handle.
194     - new module Coro::Socket.
195    
196 root 1.26 0.1 Tue Jul 24 01:47:53 CEST 2001
197 root 1.23 - release candidate 3. A rather new internal structure :(
198 root 1.24 - the great renaming: Damian Conway gave me a suitable replacement
199     for yield.
200 root 1.23 - added Coro/libcoro, a portable coroutine implementation for C
201 root 1.22 (not even perl-dependent!!!), which can be used by Coro::State.
202 root 1.20 - renamed SAVE_DEFSV (on xs-level only) to avoid symbol clash in
203     perl-5.6.
204 root 1.16 - new function Coro::Event::idle.
205     - the idle process is now overriden
206     by default in Coro::Event.

208 root 1.18 - canceling events now works in all cases.
209 root 1.19 - Coro state now include $_ and $@.
210     - yet another bug workaround that I do not really understand :(
211 root 1.21 - new module Coro::Event::IO (very undocumented) to do
212     non-blocking i/o.
213 root 1.25 - performance tuning.
214 root 1.16
215 root 1.15 0.08 Thu Jul 19 06:13:25 CEST 2001
216 root 1.14 - release candidate 2 (new functionality).
217 root 1.13 - add Coro::State::flush function.
218     - transfer now supports a flags value (mostly for speed ATM).
219     - might compile and work in the presence of threads now.
220 root 1.14 - continuations have a saner syntax.
221 root 1.19 - no more memleaks.
222 root 1.13
223 root 1.12 0.07 Tue Jul 17 17:40:18 CEST 2001
224     - release candidate 1 ;)
225     - slightly nicer code.
226     - fixed a scheduling bug in Coro::Event.
227    
228 root 1.11 0.06 Tue Jul 17 04:23:24 CEST 2001
229     - ok, I found the showstopper - the same sub must not be
230 root 1.9 re-entered in two different coroutines, otherwise => crash. I
231     see no easy solution to this problem, except by walking the call
232     chaing and saving/restoring the cv's, which is what I do now.
233 root 1.11 - memory leaks still latent, especially at thread termination.
234     - Coro::Event now works (haha).
235 root 1.9
236 root 1.8 0.05 Sun Jul 15 17:32:20 CEST 2001
237     - fixed a few issues in Coro::Event.
238     - I forgot to include Coro::Event in 0.04 :(:(:(
239    
240 root 1.7 0.04 Sun Jul 15 05:24:59 CEST 2001
241 root 1.5 - @_ is now properly localized.
242 root 1.4 - Coro::State is now easier subclassable.
243     - Coro::Cont now coroutine-aware.
244     - Coro::Specific is a low-overhead module to create
245     coroutine-specific vars.
246 root 1.6 - Coro::Event provides a simple interface to Event.
247 root 1.4
248 root 1.3 0.03 Fri Jul 13 14:51:52 CEST 2001
249 root 1.4 - transfer() now implemented in XS (beware).
250     - new module Coro::Cont for really faked continuations.
251     - big internal architecture changes: Coro::State is now
252 root 1.3 really low-level and can thus be used to implement other
253 root 1.4 interesting things, While "Coro::" implements a process-like
254     model. Still crude and subject to change.
255 root 1.3 - $_ and $@ are no longer being localized.
256    
257 root 1.2 0.02 Tue Jul 10 01:38:17 CEST 2001
258     - implemented "async" attribute.
259     - $_ and $@ are now localized.
260     - added Coro::Channel.

262    
263 root 1.1 0.01 Tue Jul 3 02:18:41 CEST 2001
264     - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
265
