20     when 'l'inux method was used.
21    
22 root 1.110 1.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
23     - some portability fixes/workarounds.
24    
25 root 1.107 1.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
26 root 1.108 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
27 root 1.106 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
28     Coro::State::flush method.
29 root 1.107 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
30 root 1.106
31 root 1.105 1.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
32 root 1.100 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.

38 root 1.99 1.11 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
39     - change of contact address.
40    
41 root 1.98 1.1 Tue Feb 22 20:51:16 CET 2005

46 root 1.95 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
47 root 1.96 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
48     padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
49 root 1.95
50 pcg 1.94 0.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
51     - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
52    
53 pcg 1.93 0.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
54 root 1.103 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
55 pcg 1.91 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
56     as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
57     Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
58     between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
59     fixable).
60 pcg 1.92 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
61 pcg 1.91
62 pcg 1.90 0.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
63 pcg 1.86 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
64     faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
65 pcg 1.87 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
66 pcg 1.88 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
67     observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
68     of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
69     pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
70 pcg 1.89 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
71 pcg 1.90 - fix for threaded perl.
72 pcg 1.86
73 pcg 1.85 0.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
74 pcg 1.84 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
75     memory leaks.
76     - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
77 pcg 1.85 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
78     hopefully ignoring it "just works".
79 pcg 1.84
80 pcg 1.83 0.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
81     - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
82 pcg 1.82 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
83    
84 root 1.81 0.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
85     - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
86     of new features.
87 root 1.80 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
88     Highly correct stuff, that is...
89 root 1.81 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
90     the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.
91 root 1.80
92 root 1.79 0.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
93 root 1.76 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
94 root 1.78 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
95 root 1.77 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
96     so preselect it.
97 root 1.76
98 root 1.75 0.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
99     - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost
100     on reading, reported by jason@nichego.net.
101 root 1.74
102 root 1.73 0.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
103 root 1.72 - added a README.linux-glibc.
104     - new module Coro::Select.
105     - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
106     (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
107 root 1.73 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
108 root 1.72
109 root 1.71 0.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
110     - made lazy context switching the default.
111     - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
112     was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
113     - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
114     - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
115    
116 root 1.70 0.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
117 root 1.69 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
118 root 1.70 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
119     - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
120     ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
121     - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
122     of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
123 root 1.69
124 root 1.68 0.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
125     - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
126     - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
127     could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
128    
129 root 1.67 0.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
130 root 1.66 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
131     (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
132     without Event, which freezes).
133 root 1.65
134 root 1.64 0.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
135 root 1.63 - Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.

137 root 1.64 0.53 Tue Nov 27 21:11:13 CET 2001
138 root 1.60 - some tests for Event.
139 root 1.61 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
140     and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
141     new ones.
142     - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
143 root 1.62 - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.
144 root 1.60
145 root 1.64 0.52 Tue Nov 6 21:36:18 CET 2001
146 root 1.58 - ported to cygwin (trivial).
147     patch by Gerrit P. Haase <gp@familiehaase.de>.
148     - small setjmp code fix by Sullivan.DanielJ@epamail.epa.gov.
149    
150 root 1.64 0.51 Thu Nov 1 20:39:01 CET 2001
151 root 1.54 - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
152     could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
153     error.
154 root 1.55 - added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
155 root 1.56 - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.
156     - implemented terminate with args + join.
157 root 1.54
158 root 1.64 0.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001
159 root 1.53 - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.
160 root 1.50 - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
161     in various modules.
162     - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
163 root 1.52 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.
164 root 1.48
165 root 1.47 0.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
166 root 1.43 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
167     inside Coro::Handle.
168 root 1.44 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
169     speed reasons.
170     - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
171     sjlj and ucontext should now work.
172     - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
173 root 1.45 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
174 root 1.46 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.
175     - fixed a bug that caused segfault when returning to main task
176     under some circumstances.
177     - other bugfixes.
178 root 1.43
179 root 1.42 0.45 Sun Sep 2 02:54:01 CEST 2001
180 root 1.36 - new method Coro::Handle::timeout.
181     - corrected speling of set...name to get...name in Coro::Socket.
182     - Coro::Socket::accept now returns a Coro::Socket, not a Coro::Handle.
183     - Coro::Handle now supports fileno and FILENO.
184     - added eg/myhttpd, a web server.
185 root 1.37 - Coro::Socket now accepts numeric ports as well as "port(number)"

188 root 1.39 - new simple priority system.
189 root 1.40 - implemented Coro::Event using XS, almost four times faster!
190 root 1.41 - small memory corruption problem fixed (boy that was difficult).
191 root 1.36
192 root 1.35 0.13 Wed Aug 8 16:53:07 CEST 2001
193 root 1.31 - new method Coro::Handle::readline.
194 root 1.34 - added eg/lwp and Coro::Handle::autoflush, to make LWP work.
195     (see eg/lwp on how to make LWP non-blocking).
196 root 1.31 - renamed Coro::Socket::new_inet to new.
197 root 1.32 - added Coro::Util, some utility functions.
198 root 1.33 - die/eval now works better (still get annoying (but true ;)
199     "Callback called exit" messages).
200 root 1.34 - Coro::Handle now supports timeout, and Coro::Socket Timeout.
201     - much better Coro::Socket support.
202 root 1.31
203     0.12 Fri Jul 27 04:19:01 CEST 2001
204 root 1.29 - do not use mmap if neither MAP_ANON nor MAP_ANONYMOUS is defined.
205 root 1.34 - very experimental stack sharing algorithm. not 100% safe but
206 root 1.28 should work well in practise ;)
207 root 1.30 - added Coro::RWLock.
208 root 1.31 - Coro::Specific now works.
209 root 1.28
210     0.11 Tue Jul 24 22:49:21 CEST 2001
211 root 1.27 - added specialized hack for newer and older linux versions (fast).
212     - renamed Coro::Event::IO to Coro::Handle.
213     - new module Coro::Socket.
214    
215 root 1.26 0.1 Tue Jul 24 01:47:53 CEST 2001
216 root 1.23 - release candidate 3. A rather new internal structure :(
217 root 1.24 - the great renaming: Damian Conway gave me a suitable replacement
218     for yield.
219 root 1.23 - added Coro/libcoro, a portable coroutine implementation for C
220 root 1.22 (not even perl-dependent!!!), which can be used by Coro::State.
221 root 1.20 - renamed SAVE_DEFSV (on xs-level only) to avoid symbol clash in
222     perl-5.6.
223 root 1.16 - new function Coro::Event::idle.
224     - the idle process is now overriden
225     by default in Coro::Event.
226 root 1.17 - Coro::Channel now enforces the size.
227 root 1.18 - canceling events now works in all cases.
228 root 1.19 - Coro state now include $_ and $@.
229     - yet another bug workaround that I do not really understand :(
230 root 1.21 - new module Coro::Event::IO (very undocumented) to do
231     non-blocking i/o.
232 root 1.25 - performance tuning.
233 root 1.16
234 root 1.15 0.08 Thu Jul 19 06:13:25 CEST 2001
235 root 1.14 - release candidate 2 (new functionality).
236 root 1.13 - add Coro::State::flush function.
237     - transfer now supports a flags value (mostly for speed ATM).
238     - might compile and work in the presence of threads now.
239 root 1.14 - continuations have a saner syntax.
240 root 1.19 - no more memleaks.
241 root 1.13
242 root 1.12 0.07 Tue Jul 17 17:40:18 CEST 2001
243     - release candidate 1 ;)
244     - slightly nicer code.
245     - fixed a scheduling bug in Coro::Event.
246    
247 root 1.11 0.06 Tue Jul 17 04:23:24 CEST 2001
248     - ok, I found the showstopper - the same sub must not be
249 root 1.9 re-entered in two different coroutines, otherwise => crash. I
250     see no easy solution to this problem, except by walking the call
251     chaing and saving/restoring the cv's, which is what I do now.
252 root 1.11 - memory leaks still latent, especially at thread termination.
253     - Coro::Event now works (haha).
254 root 1.9
255 root 1.8 0.05 Sun Jul 15 17:32:20 CEST 2001
256     - fixed a few issues in Coro::Event.
257     - I forgot to include Coro::Event in 0.04 :(:(:(
258    
259 root 1.7 0.04 Sun Jul 15 05:24:59 CEST 2001
260 root 1.5 - @_ is now properly localized.
261 root 1.4 - Coro::State is now easier subclassable.
262     - Coro::Cont now coroutine-aware.
263     - Coro::Specific is a low-overhead module to create
264     coroutine-specific vars.
265 root 1.6 - Coro::Event provides a simple interface to Event.
266 root 1.4
267 root 1.3 0.03 Fri Jul 13 14:51:52 CEST 2001
268 root 1.4 - transfer() now implemented in XS (beware).
269     - new module Coro::Cont for really faked continuations.
270     - big internal architecture changes: Coro::State is now
271 root 1.3 really low-level and can thus be used to implement other
272 root 1.4 interesting things, While "Coro::" implements a process-like
273     model. Still crude and subject to change.
274 root 1.3 - $_ and $@ are no longer being localized.
275    
276 root 1.2 0.02 Tue Jul 10 01:38:17 CEST 2001
