1 root 1.1 Revision history for Perl extension Coro.
2    
3 root 1.113 TODO: Coro::Select (select) and "" both don'T work
4    
5 root 1.112 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
6    
7 root 1.111 1.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
8     - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
9     when 'l'inux method was used.
10    
11 root 1.110 1.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
12     - some portability fixes/workarounds.
13    
14 root 1.107 1.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
15 root 1.108 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
16 root 1.106 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
17     Coro::State::flush method.
18 root 1.107 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
19 root 1.106
20 root 1.105 1.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
21 root 1.100 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
22 root 1.101 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
23 root 1.102 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
24 root 1.104 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
25 root 1.105 - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.
26 root 1.100
27 root 1.99 1.11 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
28     - change of contact address.
29    
30 root 1.98 1.1 Tue Feb 22 20:51:16 CET 2005
31 root 1.97 - support [l]inux method on amd64.
32 root 1.109 - allow some context switches while compiling/eval'ing.
33 root 1.97
34 root 1.96 1.0 Tue Aug 10 03:47:27 CEST 2004
35 root 1.95 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
36 root 1.96 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
37     padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
38 root 1.95
39 pcg 1.94 0.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
40     - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
41    
42 pcg 1.93 0.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
43 root 1.103 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
44 pcg 1.91 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
45     as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
46     Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
47     between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
48     fixable).
49 pcg 1.92 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
50 pcg 1.91
51 pcg 1.90 0.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
52 pcg 1.86 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
53     faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
54 pcg 1.87 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
55 pcg 1.88 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
56     observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
57     of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
58     pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
59 pcg 1.89 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
60 pcg 1.90 - fix for threaded perl.
61 pcg 1.86
62 pcg 1.85 0.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
63 pcg 1.84 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
64     memory leaks.
65     - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
66 pcg 1.85 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
67     hopefully ignoring it "just works".
68 pcg 1.84
69 pcg 1.83 0.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
70     - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
71 pcg 1.82 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
72    
73 root 1.81 0.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
74     - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
75     of new features.
76 root 1.80 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
77     Highly correct stuff, that is...
78 root 1.81 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
79     the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.
80 root 1.80
81 root 1.79 0.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
82 root 1.76 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
83 root 1.78 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
84 root 1.77 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
85     so preselect it.
86 root 1.76
87 root 1.75 0.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
88     - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost
89     on reading, reported by jason@nichego.net.
90 root 1.74
91 root 1.73 0.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
92 root 1.72 - added a README.linux-glibc.
93     - new module Coro::Select.
94     - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
95     (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
96 root 1.73 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
97 root 1.72
98 root 1.71 0.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
99     - made lazy context switching the default.
100     - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
101     was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
102     - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
103     - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
104    
105 root 1.70 0.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
106 root 1.69 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
107 root 1.70 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
108     - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
109     ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
110     - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
111     of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
112 root 1.69
113 root 1.68 0.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
114     - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
115     - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
116     could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
117    
118 root 1.67 0.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
119 root 1.66 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
120     (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
121     without Event, which freezes).
122 root 1.65
123 root 1.64 0.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
124 root 1.63 - Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.
125    
126 root 1.64 0.53 Tue Nov 27 21:11:13 CET 2001
127 root 1.60 - some tests for Event.
128 root 1.61 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
129     and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
130     new ones.
131     - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
132 root 1.62 - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.
133 root 1.60
134 root 1.64 0.52 Tue Nov 6 21:36:18 CET 2001
135 root 1.58 - ported to cygwin (trivial).
136     patch by Gerrit P. Haase <gp@familiehaase.de>.
137     - small setjmp code fix by Sullivan.DanielJ@epamail.epa.gov.
138    
139 root 1.64 0.51 Thu Nov 1 20:39:01 CET 2001
140 root 1.54 - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
141     could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
142     error.
143 root 1.55 - added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
144 root 1.56 - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.
145     - implemented terminate with args + join.
146 root 1.54
147 root 1.64 0.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001
148 root 1.53 - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.
149 root 1.50 - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
150     in various modules.
151     - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
152 root 1.52 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.
153 root 1.48
154 root 1.47 0.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
155 root 1.43 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
156     inside Coro::Handle.
157 root 1.44 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
158     speed reasons.
159     - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
160     sjlj and ucontext should now work.
161     - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
162 root 1.45 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
163 root 1.46 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.
164     - fixed a bug that caused segfault when returning to main task
165     under some circumstances.
166     - other bugfixes.
167 root 1.43
168 root 1.42 0.45 Sun Sep 2 02:54:01 CEST 2001
169 root 1.36 - new method Coro::Handle::timeout.
170     - corrected speling of set...name to get...name in Coro::Socket.
171     - Coro::Socket::accept now returns a Coro::Socket, not a Coro::Handle.
172     - Coro::Handle now supports fileno and FILENO.
173     - added eg/myhttpd, a web server.
174 root 1.37 - Coro::Socket now accepts numeric ports as well as "port(number)"
175     syntax.

177 root 1.39 - new simple priority system.
178 root 1.40 - implemented Coro::Event using XS, almost four times faster!
179 root 1.41 - small memory corruption problem fixed (boy that was difficult).
180 root 1.36
181 root 1.35 0.13 Wed Aug 8 16:53:07 CEST 2001
182 root 1.31 - new method Coro::Handle::readline.
183 root 1.34 - added eg/lwp and Coro::Handle::autoflush, to make LWP work.
184     (see eg/lwp on how to make LWP non-blocking).
185 root 1.31 - renamed Coro::Socket::new_inet to new.
186 root 1.32 - added Coro::Util, some utility functions.
187 root 1.33 - die/eval now works better (still get annoying (but true ;)
188     "Callback called exit" messages).
189 root 1.34 - Coro::Handle now supports timeout, and Coro::Socket Timeout.
190     - much better Coro::Socket support.
191 root 1.31
192     0.12 Fri Jul 27 04:19:01 CEST 2001
193 root 1.29 - do not use mmap if neither MAP_ANON nor MAP_ANONYMOUS is defined.
194 root 1.34 - very experimental stack sharing algorithm. not 100% safe but
195 root 1.28 should work well in practise ;)
196 root 1.30 - added Coro::RWLock.
197 root 1.31 - Coro::Specific now works.
198 root 1.28
199     0.11 Tue Jul 24 22:49:21 CEST 2001

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

216 root 1.18 - canceling events now works in all cases.
217 root 1.19 - Coro state now include $_ and $@.
218     - yet another bug workaround that I do not really understand :(
219 root 1.21 - new module Coro::Event::IO (very undocumented) to do
220     non-blocking i/o.
221 root 1.25 - performance tuning.
222 root 1.16
223 root 1.15 0.08 Thu Jul 19 06:13:25 CEST 2001
224 root 1.14 - release candidate 2 (new functionality).
225 root 1.13 - add Coro::State::flush function.
226     - transfer now supports a flags value (mostly for speed ATM).
227     - might compile and work in the presence of threads now.
228 root 1.14 - continuations have a saner syntax.
229 root 1.19 - no more memleaks.
230 root 1.13
231 root 1.12 0.07 Tue Jul 17 17:40:18 CEST 2001
232     - release candidate 1 ;)
233     - slightly nicer code.
234     - fixed a scheduling bug in Coro::Event.
235    
236 root 1.11 0.06 Tue Jul 17 04:23:24 CEST 2001
237     - ok, I found the showstopper - the same sub must not be
238 root 1.9 re-entered in two different coroutines, otherwise => crash. I
239     see no easy solution to this problem, except by walking the call
240     chaing and saving/restoring the cv's, which is what I do now.
241 root 1.11 - memory leaks still latent, especially at thread termination.
242     - Coro::Event now works (haha).
243 root 1.9
244 root 1.8 0.05 Sun Jul 15 17:32:20 CEST 2001
245     - fixed a few issues in Coro::Event.

247    
248 root 1.7 0.04 Sun Jul 15 05:24:59 CEST 2001
249 root 1.5 - @_ is now properly localized.
250 root 1.4 - Coro::State is now easier subclassable.
251     - Coro::Cont now coroutine-aware.
252     - Coro::Specific is a low-overhead module to create
253     coroutine-specific vars.
254 root 1.6 - Coro::Event provides a simple interface to Event.
255 root 1.4
256 root 1.3 0.03 Fri Jul 13 14:51:52 CEST 2001
257 root 1.4 - transfer() now implemented in XS (beware).
258     - new module Coro::Cont for really faked continuations.
259     - big internal architecture changes: Coro::State is now
260 root 1.3 really low-level and can thus be used to implement other
261 root 1.4 interesting things, While "Coro::" implements a process-like
262     model. Still crude and subject to change.
263 root 1.3 - $_ and $@ are no longer being localized.
264    
265 root 1.2 0.02 Tue Jul 10 01:38:17 CEST 2001
266     - implemented "async" attribute.
267     - $_ and $@ are now localized.
