14     normally uses.
15 root 1.120 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.

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

237 root 1.18 - canceling events now works in all cases.
238 root 1.19 - Coro state now include $_ and $@.
239     - yet another bug workaround that I do not really understand :(
240 root 1.21 - new module Coro::Event::IO (very undocumented) to do
241     non-blocking i/o.
242 root 1.25 - performance tuning.
243 root 1.16
244 root 1.15 0.08 Thu Jul 19 06:13:25 CEST 2001
245 root 1.14 - release candidate 2 (new functionality).
246 root 1.13 - add Coro::State::flush function.
247     - transfer now supports a flags value (mostly for speed ATM).
248     - might compile and work in the presence of threads now.
249 root 1.14 - continuations have a saner syntax.
250 root 1.19 - no more memleaks.
251 root 1.13
252 root 1.12 0.07 Tue Jul 17 17:40:18 CEST 2001
253     - release candidate 1 ;)
254     - slightly nicer code.
255     - fixed a scheduling bug in Coro::Event.
256    
257 root 1.11 0.06 Tue Jul 17 04:23:24 CEST 2001
258     - ok, I found the showstopper - the same sub must not be
259 root 1.9 re-entered in two different coroutines, otherwise => crash. I
260     see no easy solution to this problem, except by walking the call
261     chaing and saving/restoring the cv's, which is what I do now.
262 root 1.11 - memory leaks still latent, especially at thread termination.
263     - Coro::Event now works (haha).
264 root 1.9
265 root 1.8 0.05 Sun Jul 15 17:32:20 CEST 2001
266     - fixed a few issues in Coro::Event.
267     - I forgot to include Coro::Event in 0.04 :(:(:(
268    
269 root 1.7 0.04 Sun Jul 15 05:24:59 CEST 2001
270 root 1.5 - @_ is now properly localized.
271 root 1.4 - Coro::State is now easier subclassable.
272     - Coro::Cont now coroutine-aware.
273     - Coro::Specific is a low-overhead module to create
274     coroutine-specific vars.
275 root 1.6 - Coro::Event provides a simple interface to Event.
276 root 1.4
277 root 1.3 0.03 Fri Jul 13 14:51:52 CEST 2001
278 root 1.4 - transfer() now implemented in XS (beware).
279     - new module Coro::Cont for really faked continuations.
280     - big internal architecture changes: Coro::State is now
281 root 1.3 really low-level and can thus be used to implement other
282 root 1.4 interesting things, While "Coro::" implements a process-like
283     model. Still crude and subject to change.
284 root 1.3 - $_ and $@ are no longer being localized.
285    
286 root 1.2 0.02 Tue Jul 10 01:38:17 CEST 2001
287     - implemented "async" attribute.
288     - $_ and $@ are now localized.
