12     normally uses.
13 root 1.120 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.

28     when 'l'inux method was used.
29

54 root 1.95 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
55 root 1.96 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
56     padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
57 root 1.95
58 pcg 1.94 0.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
59     - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
60    
61 pcg 1.93 0.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
62 root 1.103 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
63 pcg 1.91 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
64     as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
65     Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
66     between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
67     fixable).
68 pcg 1.92 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
69 pcg 1.91
70 pcg 1.90 0.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
71 pcg 1.86 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
72     faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
73 pcg 1.87 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
74 pcg 1.88 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
75     observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
76     of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
77     pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
78 pcg 1.89 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
79 pcg 1.90 - fix for threaded perl.
80 pcg 1.86
81 pcg 1.85 0.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
82 pcg 1.84 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
83     memory leaks.
84     - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
85 pcg 1.85 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
86     hopefully ignoring it "just works".
87 pcg 1.84
88 pcg 1.83 0.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
89     - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
90 pcg 1.82 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
91    
92 root 1.81 0.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
93     - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
94     of new features.
95 root 1.80 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
96     Highly correct stuff, that is...
97 root 1.81 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
98     the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.
99 root 1.80
100 root 1.79 0.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
101 root 1.76 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
102 root 1.78 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
103 root 1.77 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
104     so preselect it.
105 root 1.76
106 root 1.75 0.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
107     - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost
108     on reading, reported by jason@nichego.net.
109 root 1.74
110 root 1.73 0.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
111 root 1.72 - added a README.linux-glibc.
112     - new module Coro::Select.
113     - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
114     (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
115 root 1.73 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
116 root 1.72
117 root 1.71 0.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
118     - made lazy context switching the default.
119     - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
120     was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
121     - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
122     - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
123    
124 root 1.70 0.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
125 root 1.69 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
126 root 1.70 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
127     - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
128     ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
129     - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
130     of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
131 root 1.69
132 root 1.68 0.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
133     - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
134     - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
135     could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
136    
137 root 1.67 0.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
138 root 1.66 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
139     (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
140     without Event, which freezes).
141 root 1.65
142 root 1.64 0.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
143 root 1.63 - Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.
144    
145 root 1.64 0.53 Tue Nov 27 21:11:13 CET 2001
146 root 1.60 - some tests for Event.
147 root 1.61 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
148     and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
149     new ones.
150     - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
151 root 1.62 - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.
152 root 1.60
153 root 1.64 0.52 Tue Nov 6 21:36:18 CET 2001
154 root 1.58 - ported to cygwin (trivial).
155     patch by Gerrit P. Haase <gp@familiehaase.de>.
156     - small setjmp code fix by Sullivan.DanielJ@epamail.epa.gov.
157    
158 root 1.64 0.51 Thu Nov 1 20:39:01 CET 2001
159 root 1.54 - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
160     could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
161     error.
162 root 1.55 - added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
163 root 1.56 - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.
164     - implemented terminate with args + join.
165 root 1.54
166 root 1.64 0.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001
167 root 1.53 - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.
168 root 1.50 - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
169     in various modules.
170     - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
171 root 1.52 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.
172 root 1.48
173 root 1.47 0.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
174 root 1.43 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
175     inside Coro::Handle.
176 root 1.44 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
177     speed reasons.
178     - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
179     sjlj and ucontext should now work.
180     - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
181 root 1.45 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
182 root 1.46 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.
183     - fixed a bug that caused segfault when returning to main task
184     under some circumstances.
185     - other bugfixes.
186 root 1.43
187 root 1.42 0.45 Sun Sep 2 02:54:01 CEST 2001
188 root 1.36 - new method Coro::Handle::timeout.
189     - corrected speling of set...name to get...name in Coro::Socket.
190     - Coro::Socket::accept now returns a Coro::Socket, not a Coro::Handle.
191     - Coro::Handle now supports fileno and FILENO.
192     - added eg/myhttpd, a web server.
193 root 1.37 - Coro::Socket now accepts numeric ports as well as "port(number)"
194     syntax.
195 root 1.38 - moved some scheduling primitives into xs code. more to come.
196 root 1.39 - new simple priority system.
197 root 1.40 - implemented Coro::Event using XS, almost four times faster!
198 root 1.41 - small memory corruption problem fixed (boy that was difficult).
199 root 1.36
200 root 1.35 0.13 Wed Aug 8 16:53:07 CEST 2001
201 root 1.31 - new method Coro::Handle::readline.
202 root 1.34 - added eg/lwp and Coro::Handle::autoflush, to make LWP work.
203     (see eg/lwp on how to make LWP non-blocking).
204 root 1.31 - renamed Coro::Socket::new_inet to new.
205 root 1.32 - added Coro::Util, some utility functions.
206 root 1.33 - die/eval now works better (still get annoying (but true ;)
207     "Callback called exit" messages).
208 root 1.34 - Coro::Handle now supports timeout, and Coro::Socket Timeout.
209     - much better Coro::Socket support.
210 root 1.31
211     0.12 Fri Jul 27 04:19:01 CEST 2001
212 root 1.29 - do not use mmap if neither MAP_ANON nor MAP_ANONYMOUS is defined.
213 root 1.34 - very experimental stack sharing algorithm. not 100% safe but
214 root 1.28 should work well in practise ;)
215 root 1.30 - added Coro::RWLock.
216 root 1.31 - Coro::Specific now works.
217 root 1.28
218     0.11 Tue Jul 24 22:49:21 CEST 2001
219 root 1.27 - added specialized hack for newer and older linux versions (fast).
220     - renamed Coro::Event::IO to Coro::Handle.
221     - new module Coro::Socket.
222    
223 root 1.26 0.1 Tue Jul 24 01:47:53 CEST 2001
224 root 1.23 - release candidate 3. A rather new internal structure :(
225 root 1.24 - the great renaming: Damian Conway gave me a suitable replacement
226     for yield.
227 root 1.23 - added Coro/libcoro, a portable coroutine implementation for C
228 root 1.22 (not even perl-dependent!!!), which can be used by Coro::State.
229 root 1.20 - renamed SAVE_DEFSV (on xs-level only) to avoid symbol clash in
230     perl-5.6.
231 root 1.16 - new function Coro::Event::idle.
232     - the idle process is now overriden
233     by default in Coro::Event.
234 root 1.17 - Coro::Channel now enforces the size.
235 root 1.18 - canceling events now works in all cases.
236 root 1.19 - Coro state now include $_ and $@.
237     - yet another bug workaround that I do not really understand :(
238 root 1.21 - new module Coro::Event::IO (very undocumented) to do
239     non-blocking i/o.
240 root 1.25 - performance tuning.
241 root 1.16
242 root 1.15 0.08 Thu Jul 19 06:13:25 CEST 2001
243 root 1.14 - release candidate 2 (new functionality).
244 root 1.13 - add Coro::State::flush function.
245     - transfer now supports a flags value (mostly for speed ATM).
246     - might compile and work in the presence of threads now.
247 root 1.14 - continuations have a saner syntax.
248 root 1.19 - no more memleaks.
249 root 1.13
250 root 1.12 0.07 Tue Jul 17 17:40:18 CEST 2001
251     - release candidate 1 ;)
252     - slightly nicer code.
253     - fixed a scheduling bug in Coro::Event.
254    
255 root 1.11 0.06 Tue Jul 17 04:23:24 CEST 2001
256     - ok, I found the showstopper - the same sub must not be
257 root 1.9 re-entered in two different coroutines, otherwise => crash. I
258     see no easy solution to this problem, except by walking the call
259     chaing and saving/restoring the cv's, which is what I do now.
260 root 1.11 - memory leaks still latent, especially at thread termination.
261     - Coro::Event now works (haha).
262 root 1.9
263 root 1.8 0.05 Sun Jul 15 17:32:20 CEST 2001
264     - fixed a few issues in Coro::Event.
265     - I forgot to include Coro::Event in 0.04 :(:(:(
266    
267 root 1.7 0.04 Sun Jul 15 05:24:59 CEST 2001
268 root 1.5 - @_ is now properly localized.
269 root 1.4 - Coro::State is now easier subclassable.
270     - Coro::Cont now coroutine-aware.
271     - Coro::Specific is a low-overhead module to create
272     coroutine-specific vars.
273 root 1.6 - Coro::Event provides a simple interface to Event.
274 root 1.4
275 root 1.3 0.03 Fri Jul 13 14:51:52 CEST 2001
276 root 1.4 - transfer() now implemented in XS (beware).
277     - new module Coro::Cont for really faked continuations.
278     - big internal architecture changes: Coro::State is now
279 root 1.3 really low-level and can thus be used to implement other
280 root 1.4 interesting things, While "Coro::" implements a process-like
281     model. Still crude and subject to change.
282 root 1.3 - $_ and $@ are no longer being localized.
283    
284 root 1.2 0.02 Tue Jul 10 01:38:17 CEST 2001
285     - implemented "async" attribute.
