# User Rev Content
1 root 1.1 Revision history for Perl extension Coro.
2    
3 root 1.112 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
4    
5 root 1.111 1.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
6     - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
7     when 'l'inux method was used.
8    
9 root 1.110 1.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
10     - some portability fixes/workarounds.
11    
12 root 1.107 1.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
13 root 1.108 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
14 root 1.106 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
15     Coro::State::flush method.
16 root 1.107 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
17 root 1.106
18 root 1.105 1.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
19 root 1.100 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
20 root 1.101 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
21 root 1.102 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
22 root 1.104 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
23 root 1.105 - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.
24 root 1.100
25 root 1.99 1.11 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
26     - change of contact address.
27    
28 root 1.98 1.1 Tue Feb 22 20:51:16 CET 2005
29 root 1.97 - support [l]inux method on amd64.
30 root 1.109 - allow some context switches while compiling/eval'ing.
31 root 1.97
32 root 1.96 1.0 Tue Aug 10 03:47:27 CEST 2004
33 root 1.95 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
34 root 1.96 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
35     padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
36 root 1.95
37 pcg 1.94 0.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
38     - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
39    
40 pcg 1.93 0.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
41 root 1.103 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
42 pcg 1.91 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
43     as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
44     Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
45     between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
46     fixable).
47 pcg 1.92 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
48 pcg 1.91
49 pcg 1.90 0.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
50 pcg 1.86 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
51     faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
52 pcg 1.87 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
53 pcg 1.88 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
54     observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
55     of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
56     pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
57 pcg 1.89 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
58 pcg 1.90 - fix for threaded perl.
59 pcg 1.86
60 pcg 1.85 0.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
61 pcg 1.84 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
62     memory leaks.
63     - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
64 pcg 1.85 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
65     hopefully ignoring it "just works".
66 pcg 1.84
67 pcg 1.83 0.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
68     - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
69 pcg 1.82 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
70    
71 root 1.81 0.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
72     - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
73     of new features.
74 root 1.80 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
75     Highly correct stuff, that is...
76 root 1.81 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
77     the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.
78 root 1.80
79 root 1.79 0.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
80 root 1.76 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
81 root 1.78 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
82 root 1.77 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
83     so preselect it.
84 root 1.76
85 root 1.75 0.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
86     - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost
87     on reading, reported by jason@nichego.net.
88 root 1.74
89 root 1.73 0.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
90 root 1.72 - added a README.linux-glibc.
91     - new module Coro::Select.
92     - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
93     (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
94 root 1.73 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
95 root 1.72
96 root 1.71 0.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
97     - made lazy context switching the default.
98     - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
99     was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
100     - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
101     - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
102    
103 root 1.70 0.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
104 root 1.69 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
105 root 1.70 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
106     - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
107     ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
108     - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
109     of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
110 root 1.69
111 root 1.68 0.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
112     - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
113     - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
114     could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
115    
116 root 1.67 0.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
117 root 1.66 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
118     (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
119     without Event, which freezes).
120 root 1.65
121 root 1.64 0.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
122 root 1.63 - Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.
123    
124 root 1.64 0.53 Tue Nov 27 21:11:13 CET 2001
125 root 1.60 - some tests for Event.
126 root 1.61 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
127     and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
128     new ones.
129     - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
130 root 1.62 - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.
131 root 1.60
132 root 1.64 0.52 Tue Nov 6 21:36:18 CET 2001
133 root 1.58 - ported to cygwin (trivial).
134     patch by Gerrit P. Haase <gp@familiehaase.de>.
135     - small setjmp code fix by Sullivan.DanielJ@epamail.epa.gov.
136    
137 root 1.64 0.51 Thu Nov 1 20:39:01 CET 2001
138 root 1.54 - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
139     could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
140     error.
141 root 1.55 - added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
142 root 1.56 - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.
143     - implemented terminate with args + join.
144 root 1.54
145 root 1.64 0.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001
146 root 1.53 - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.
147 root 1.50 - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
148     in various modules.
149     - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
150 root 1.52 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.
151 root 1.48
152 root 1.47 0.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
153 root 1.43 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
154     inside Coro::Handle.
155 root 1.44 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
156     speed reasons.
157     - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
158     sjlj and ucontext should now work.
159     - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
160 root 1.45 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
161 root 1.46 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.
162     - fixed a bug that caused segfault when returning to main task
163     under some circumstances.
164     - other bugfixes.
165 root 1.43
166 root 1.42 0.45 Sun Sep 2 02:54:01 CEST 2001
167 root 1.36 - new method Coro::Handle::timeout.
168     - corrected speling of set...name to get...name in Coro::Socket.
169     - Coro::Socket::accept now returns a Coro::Socket, not a Coro::Handle.
170     - Coro::Handle now supports fileno and FILENO.
171     - added eg/myhttpd, a web server.
172 root 1.37 - Coro::Socket now accepts numeric ports as well as "port(number)"
173     syntax.

175 root 1.39 - new simple priority system.
176 root 1.40 - implemented Coro::Event using XS, almost four times faster!
177 root 1.41 - small memory corruption problem fixed (boy that was difficult).
178 root 1.36
179 root 1.35 0.13 Wed Aug 8 16:53:07 CEST 2001
180 root 1.31 - new method Coro::Handle::readline.
181 root 1.34 - added eg/lwp and Coro::Handle::autoflush, to make LWP work.
182     (see eg/lwp on how to make LWP non-blocking).
183 root 1.31 - renamed Coro::Socket::new_inet to new.
184 root 1.32 - added Coro::Util, some utility functions.
185 root 1.33 - die/eval now works better (still get annoying (but true ;)
186     "Callback called exit" messages).
187 root 1.34 - Coro::Handle now supports timeout, and Coro::Socket Timeout.
188     - much better Coro::Socket support.
189 root 1.31
190     0.12 Fri Jul 27 04:19:01 CEST 2001
191 root 1.29 - do not use mmap if neither MAP_ANON nor MAP_ANONYMOUS is defined.
192 root 1.34 - very experimental stack sharing algorithm. not 100% safe but
193 root 1.28 should work well in practise ;)
194 root 1.30 - added Coro::RWLock.
195 root 1.31 - Coro::Specific now works.
196 root 1.28
197     0.11 Tue Jul 24 22:49:21 CEST 2001

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

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

270     - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
271
