2 root 1.113
3 root 1.115 1.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
4 root 1.114 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
5 root 1.115 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
6     - strict'ify some modules.
7 root 1.112 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
8 root 1.115 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
9     - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
10 root 1.112
11 root 1.111 1.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
12     - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
13     when 'l'inux method was used.
14    
15 root 1.110 1.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
16     - some portability fixes/workarounds.
17    
18 root 1.107 1.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
19 root 1.108 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
20 root 1.106 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
21     Coro::State::flush method.
22 root 1.107 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
23 root 1.106
24 root 1.105 1.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
25 root 1.100 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
26 root 1.101 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
27 root 1.102 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
28 root 1.104 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
29 root 1.105 - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.
30 root 1.100
31 root 1.99 1.11 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
32     - change of contact address.
33    
34 root 1.98 1.1 Tue Feb 22 20:51:16 CET 2005
35 root 1.97 - support [l]inux method on amd64.
36 root 1.109 - allow some context switches while compiling/eval'ing.
37 root 1.97
38 root 1.96 1.0 Tue Aug 10 03:47:27 CEST 2004
39 root 1.95 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
40 root 1.96 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
41     padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
42 root 1.95
43 pcg 1.94 0.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
44     - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
45    
46 pcg 1.93 0.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
47 root 1.103 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
48 pcg 1.91 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
49     as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
50     Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
51     between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
52     fixable).
53 pcg 1.92 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
54 pcg 1.91
55 pcg 1.90 0.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
56 pcg 1.86 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
57     faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
58 pcg 1.87 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
59 pcg 1.88 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
60     observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
61     of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
62     pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
63 pcg 1.89 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
64 pcg 1.90 - fix for threaded perl.
65 pcg 1.86
66 pcg 1.85 0.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
67 pcg 1.84 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
68     memory leaks.
69     - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
70 pcg 1.85 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
71     hopefully ignoring it "just works".
72 pcg 1.84
73 pcg 1.83 0.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
74     - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
75 pcg 1.82 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
76    
77 root 1.81 0.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
78     - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
79     of new features.
80 root 1.80 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
81     Highly correct stuff, that is...
82 root 1.81 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
83     the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.
84 root 1.80
85 root 1.79 0.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
86 root 1.76 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
87 root 1.78 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
88 root 1.77 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
89     so preselect it.
90 root 1.76
91 root 1.75 0.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
92     - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost
93     on reading, reported by jason@nichego.net.
94 root 1.74
95 root 1.73 0.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
96 root 1.72 - added a README.linux-glibc.
97     - new module Coro::Select.
98     - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
99     (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
100 root 1.73 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
101 root 1.72
102 root 1.71 0.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
103     - made lazy context switching the default.
104     - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
105     was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
106     - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
107     - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
108    
109 root 1.70 0.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
110 root 1.69 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
111 root 1.70 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
112     - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
113     ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
114     - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
115     of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
116 root 1.69
117 root 1.68 0.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
118     - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
119     - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
120     could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
121    
122 root 1.67 0.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
123 root 1.66 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
124     (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
125     without Event, which freezes).
126 root 1.65
127 root 1.64 0.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
128 root 1.63 - Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.
129    
130 root 1.64 0.53 Tue Nov 27 21:11:13 CET 2001
131 root 1.60 - some tests for Event.
132 root 1.61 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
133     and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
134     new ones.
135     - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
136 root 1.62 - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.
137 root 1.60
138 root 1.64 0.52 Tue Nov 6 21:36:18 CET 2001
139 root 1.58 - ported to cygwin (trivial).
140     patch by Gerrit P. Haase <gp@familiehaase.de>.
141     - small setjmp code fix by Sullivan.DanielJ@epamail.epa.gov.
142    
143 root 1.64 0.51 Thu Nov 1 20:39:01 CET 2001
144 root 1.54 - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
145     could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
146     error.
147 root 1.55 - added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
148 root 1.56 - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.
149     - implemented terminate with args + join.
150 root 1.54
151 root 1.64 0.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001
152 root 1.53 - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.
153 root 1.50 - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
154     in various modules.
155     - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
156 root 1.52 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.
157 root 1.48
158 root 1.47 0.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
159 root 1.43 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
160     inside Coro::Handle.
161 root 1.44 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
162     speed reasons.
163     - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
164     sjlj and ucontext should now work.
165     - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
166 root 1.45 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
167 root 1.46 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.
168     - fixed a bug that caused segfault when returning to main task
169     under some circumstances.
170     - other bugfixes.
171 root 1.43
172 root 1.42 0.45 Sun Sep 2 02:54:01 CEST 2001
173 root 1.36 - new method Coro::Handle::timeout.
174     - corrected speling of set...name to get...name in Coro::Socket.
175     - Coro::Socket::accept now returns a Coro::Socket, not a Coro::Handle.
176     - Coro::Handle now supports fileno and FILENO.
177     - added eg/myhttpd, a web server.
178 root 1.37 - Coro::Socket now accepts numeric ports as well as "port(number)"
179     syntax.
180 root 1.38 - moved some scheduling primitives into xs code. more to come.
181 root 1.39 - new simple priority system.
182 root 1.40 - implemented Coro::Event using XS, almost four times faster!
183 root 1.41 - small memory corruption problem fixed (boy that was difficult).
184 root 1.36
185 root 1.35 0.13 Wed Aug 8 16:53:07 CEST 2001
186 root 1.31 - new method Coro::Handle::readline.
187 root 1.34 - added eg/lwp and Coro::Handle::autoflush, to make LWP work.
188     (see eg/lwp on how to make LWP non-blocking).
189 root 1.31 - renamed Coro::Socket::new_inet to new.
190 root 1.32 - added Coro::Util, some utility functions.
191 root 1.33 - die/eval now works better (still get annoying (but true ;)
192     "Callback called exit" messages).
193 root 1.34 - Coro::Handle now supports timeout, and Coro::Socket Timeout.
194     - much better Coro::Socket support.
195 root 1.31
196     0.12 Fri Jul 27 04:19:01 CEST 2001
197 root 1.29 - do not use mmap if neither MAP_ANON nor MAP_ANONYMOUS is defined.
198 root 1.34 - very experimental stack sharing algorithm. not 100% safe but
199 root 1.28 should work well in practise ;)
200 root 1.30 - added Coro::RWLock.
201 root 1.31 - Coro::Specific now works.
202 root 1.28
203     0.11 Tue Jul 24 22:49:21 CEST 2001
204 root 1.27 - added specialized hack for newer and older linux versions (fast).
205     - renamed Coro::Event::IO to Coro::Handle.
206     - new module Coro::Socket.
207    
208 root 1.26 0.1 Tue Jul 24 01:47:53 CEST 2001
209 root 1.23 - release candidate 3. A rather new internal structure :(
210 root 1.24 - the great renaming: Damian Conway gave me a suitable replacement
211     for yield.
212 root 1.23 - added Coro/libcoro, a portable coroutine implementation for C
213 root 1.22 (not even perl-dependent!!!), which can be used by Coro::State.
214 root 1.20 - renamed SAVE_DEFSV (on xs-level only) to avoid symbol clash in
215     perl-5.6.
216 root 1.16 - new function Coro::Event::idle.
217     - the idle process is now overriden
218     by default in Coro::Event.

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