1 root 1.1 Revision history for Perl extension Coro.
2    
3 root 1.111 1.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
4     - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
5     when 'l'inux method was used.
6    
7 root 1.110 1.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
8     - some portability fixes/workarounds.
9    
10 root 1.107 1.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
11 root 1.108 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
12 root 1.106 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
13     Coro::State::flush method.
14 root 1.107 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
15 root 1.106
16 root 1.105 1.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
17 root 1.100 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
18 root 1.101 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
19 root 1.102 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
20 root 1.104 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
21 root 1.105 - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.
22 root 1.100
23 root 1.99 1.11 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
24     - change of contact address.
25    
26 root 1.98 1.1 Tue Feb 22 20:51:16 CET 2005
27 root 1.97 - support [l]inux method on amd64.
28 root 1.109 - allow some context switches while compiling/eval'ing.
29 root 1.97
30 root 1.96 1.0 Tue Aug 10 03:47:27 CEST 2004
31 root 1.95 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
32 root 1.96 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
33     padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
34 root 1.95
35 pcg 1.94 0.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
36     - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
37    
38 pcg 1.93 0.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
39 root 1.103 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
40 pcg 1.91 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
41     as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
42     Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
43     between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
44     fixable).
45 pcg 1.92 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
46 pcg 1.91
47 pcg 1.90 0.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
48 pcg 1.86 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
49     faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
50 pcg 1.87 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
51 pcg 1.88 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
52     observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
53     of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
54     pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
55 pcg 1.89 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
56 pcg 1.90 - fix for threaded perl.
57 pcg 1.86
58 pcg 1.85 0.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
59 pcg 1.84 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
60     memory leaks.
61     - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
62 pcg 1.85 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
63     hopefully ignoring it "just works".
64 pcg 1.84
65 pcg 1.83 0.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
66     - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
67 pcg 1.82 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
68    
69 root 1.81 0.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
70     - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
71     of new features.
72 root 1.80 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
73     Highly correct stuff, that is...
74 root 1.81 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
75     the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.
76 root 1.80
77 root 1.79 0.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
78 root 1.76 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
79 root 1.78 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
80 root 1.77 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
81     so preselect it.
82 root 1.76
83 root 1.75 0.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
84     - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost
85     on reading, reported by jason@nichego.net.
86 root 1.74
87 root 1.73 0.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
88 root 1.72 - added a README.linux-glibc.
89     - new module Coro::Select.
90     - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
91     (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
92 root 1.73 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
93 root 1.72
94 root 1.71 0.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
95     - made lazy context switching the default.
96     - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
97     was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
98     - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
99     - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
100    
101 root 1.70 0.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
102 root 1.69 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
103 root 1.70 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
104     - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
105     ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
106     - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
107     of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
108 root 1.69
109 root 1.68 0.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
110     - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
111     - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
112     could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
113    
114 root 1.67 0.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
115 root 1.66 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
116     (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
117     without Event, which freezes).
118 root 1.65
119 root 1.64 0.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
120 root 1.63 - Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.
121    
122 root 1.64 0.53 Tue Nov 27 21:11:13 CET 2001
123 root 1.60 - some tests for Event.
124 root 1.61 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
125     and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
126     new ones.
127     - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
128 root 1.62 - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.
129 root 1.60
130 root 1.64 0.52 Tue Nov 6 21:36:18 CET 2001
131 root 1.58 - ported to cygwin (trivial).
132     patch by Gerrit P. Haase <gp@familiehaase.de>.
133     - small setjmp code fix by Sullivan.DanielJ@epamail.epa.gov.
134    
135 root 1.64 0.51 Thu Nov 1 20:39:01 CET 2001
136 root 1.54 - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
137     could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
138     error.
139 root 1.55 - added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
140 root 1.56 - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.
141     - implemented terminate with args + join.
142 root 1.54
143 root 1.64 0.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001
144 root 1.53 - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.
145 root 1.50 - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
146     in various modules.
147     - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
148 root 1.52 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.
149 root 1.48
150 root 1.47 0.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
151 root 1.43 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
152     inside Coro::Handle.
153 root 1.44 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
154     speed reasons.
155     - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
156     sjlj and ucontext should now work.
157     - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
158 root 1.45 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
159 root 1.46 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.
160     - fixed a bug that caused segfault when returning to main task
161     under some circumstances.
162     - other bugfixes.
163 root 1.43
164 root 1.42 0.45 Sun Sep 2 02:54:01 CEST 2001
165 root 1.36 - new method Coro::Handle::timeout.
166     - corrected speling of set...name to get...name in Coro::Socket.
167     - Coro::Socket::accept now returns a Coro::Socket, not a Coro::Handle.
168     - Coro::Handle now supports fileno and FILENO.
169     - added eg/myhttpd, a web server.
170 root 1.37 - Coro::Socket now accepts numeric ports as well as "port(number)"
171     syntax.
172 root 1.38 - moved some scheduling primitives into xs code. more to come.
173 root 1.39 - new simple priority system.
174 root 1.40 - implemented Coro::Event using XS, almost four times faster!
175 root 1.41 - small memory corruption problem fixed (boy that was difficult).
176 root 1.36
177 root 1.35 0.13 Wed Aug 8 16:53:07 CEST 2001
178 root 1.31 - new method Coro::Handle::readline.
179 root 1.34 - added eg/lwp and Coro::Handle::autoflush, to make LWP work.
180     (see eg/lwp on how to make LWP non-blocking).
181 root 1.31 - renamed Coro::Socket::new_inet to new.
182 root 1.32 - added Coro::Util, some utility functions.
183 root 1.33 - die/eval now works better (still get annoying (but true ;)
184     "Callback called exit" messages).
185 root 1.34 - Coro::Handle now supports timeout, and Coro::Socket Timeout.
186     - much better Coro::Socket support.
187 root 1.31
188     0.12 Fri Jul 27 04:19:01 CEST 2001
189 root 1.29 - do not use mmap if neither MAP_ANON nor MAP_ANONYMOUS is defined.
190 root 1.34 - very experimental stack sharing algorithm. not 100% safe but
191 root 1.28 should work well in practise ;)
192 root 1.30 - added Coro::RWLock.
193 root 1.31 - Coro::Specific now works.
194 root 1.28
195     0.11 Tue Jul 24 22:49:21 CEST 2001

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

212 root 1.18 - canceling events now works in all cases.
213 root 1.19 - Coro state now include $_ and $@.
214     - yet another bug workaround that I do not really understand :(
215 root 1.21 - new module Coro::Event::IO (very undocumented) to do
216     non-blocking i/o.
217 root 1.25 - performance tuning.
218 root 1.16
219 root 1.15 0.08 Thu Jul 19 06:13:25 CEST 2001
220 root 1.14 - release candidate 2 (new functionality).
221 root 1.13 - add Coro::State::flush function.
222     - transfer now supports a flags value (mostly for speed ATM).
223     - might compile and work in the presence of threads now.
224 root 1.14 - continuations have a saner syntax.
225 root 1.19 - no more memleaks.
226 root 1.13
227 root 1.12 0.07 Tue Jul 17 17:40:18 CEST 2001
228     - release candidate 1 ;)
229     - slightly nicer code.
230     - fixed a scheduling bug in Coro::Event.
231    
232 root 1.11 0.06 Tue Jul 17 04:23:24 CEST 2001
233     - ok, I found the showstopper - the same sub must not be
234 root 1.9 re-entered in two different coroutines, otherwise => crash. I
235     see no easy solution to this problem, except by walking the call
236     chaing and saving/restoring the cv's, which is what I do now.
237 root 1.11 - memory leaks still latent, especially at thread termination.
238     - Coro::Event now works (haha).
239 root 1.9
240 root 1.8 0.05 Sun Jul 15 17:32:20 CEST 2001
241     - fixed a few issues in Coro::Event.
242     - I forgot to include Coro::Event in 0.04 :(:(:(
243    
244 root 1.7 0.04 Sun Jul 15 05:24:59 CEST 2001
245 root 1.5 - @_ is now properly localized.
246 root 1.4 - Coro::State is now easier subclassable.
247     - Coro::Cont now coroutine-aware.
248     - Coro::Specific is a low-overhead module to create
249     coroutine-specific vars.
250 root 1.6 - Coro::Event provides a simple interface to Event.
251 root 1.4
252 root 1.3 0.03 Fri Jul 13 14:51:52 CEST 2001
253 root 1.4 - transfer() now implemented in XS (beware).
254     - new module Coro::Cont for really faked continuations.
255     - big internal architecture changes: Coro::State is now
256 root 1.3 really low-level and can thus be used to implement other
257 root 1.4 interesting things, While "Coro::" implements a process-like
258     model. Still crude and subject to change.
259 root 1.3 - $_ and $@ are no longer being localized.
260    
261 root 1.2 0.02 Tue Jul 10 01:38:17 CEST 2001
262     - implemented "async" attribute.
263     - $_ and $@ are now localized.
264     - added Coro::Channel.
265     - more testcases, still no docs.
266    
267 root 1.1 0.01 Tue Jul 3 02:18:41 CEST 2001
268     - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
269
