61 root 1.95 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
62 root 1.96 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
63     padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
64 root 1.95
65 pcg 1.94 0.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
66     - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
67    
68 pcg 1.93 0.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
69 root 1.103 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
70 pcg 1.91 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
71     as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
72     Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
73     between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
74     fixable).
75 pcg 1.92 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
76 pcg 1.91
77 pcg 1.90 0.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
78 pcg 1.86 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
79     faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
80 pcg 1.87 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
81 pcg 1.88 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
82     observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
83     of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
84     pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
85 pcg 1.89 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
86 pcg 1.90 - fix for threaded perl.
87 pcg 1.86
88 pcg 1.85 0.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
89 pcg 1.84 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
90     memory leaks.
91     - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
92 pcg 1.85 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
93     hopefully ignoring it "just works".
94 pcg 1.84
95 pcg 1.83 0.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
96     - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
97 pcg 1.82 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
98    
99 root 1.81 0.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
100     - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
101     of new features.
102 root 1.80 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
103     Highly correct stuff, that is...
104 root 1.81 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
105     the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.
106 root 1.80
107 root 1.79 0.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
108 root 1.76 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
109 root 1.78 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
110 root 1.77 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
111     so preselect it.
112 root 1.76
113 root 1.75 0.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
114     - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost
115     on reading, reported by jason@nichego.net.
116 root 1.74
117 root 1.73 0.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
118 root 1.72 - added a README.linux-glibc.
119     - new module Coro::Select.
120     - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
121     (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
122 root 1.73 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
123 root 1.72
124 root 1.71 0.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
125     - made lazy context switching the default.
126     - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
127     was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
128     - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
129     - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
130    
131 root 1.70 0.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
132 root 1.69 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
133 root 1.70 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
134     - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
135     ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
136     - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
137     of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
138 root 1.69
139 root 1.68 0.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
140     - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
141     - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
142     could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
143    
144 root 1.67 0.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
145 root 1.66 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
146     (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
147     without Event, which freezes).
148 root 1.65
149 root 1.64 0.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
150 root 1.63 - Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.
151    
152 root 1.64 0.53 Tue Nov 27 21:11:13 CET 2001
153 root 1.60 - some tests for Event.
154 root 1.61 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
155     and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
156     new ones.
157     - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
158 root 1.62 - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.
159 root 1.60
160 root 1.64 0.52 Tue Nov 6 21:36:18 CET 2001
161 root 1.58 - ported to cygwin (trivial).
162     patch by Gerrit P. Haase <gp@familiehaase.de>.
163     - small setjmp code fix by Sullivan.DanielJ@epamail.epa.gov.
164    
165 root 1.64 0.51 Thu Nov 1 20:39:01 CET 2001
166 root 1.54 - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
167     could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
168     error.
169 root 1.55 - added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
170 root 1.56 - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.
171     - implemented terminate with args + join.
172 root 1.54
173 root 1.64 0.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001
174 root 1.53 - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.
175 root 1.50 - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
176     in various modules.
177     - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
178 root 1.52 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.
179 root 1.48
180 root 1.47 0.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
181 root 1.43 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
182     inside Coro::Handle.
183 root 1.44 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
184     speed reasons.
185     - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
186     sjlj and ucontext should now work.
187     - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
188 root 1.45 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
189 root 1.46 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.
190     - fixed a bug that caused segfault when returning to main task
191     under some circumstances.
192     - other bugfixes.
193 root 1.43
194 root 1.42 0.45 Sun Sep 2 02:54:01 CEST 2001
195 root 1.36 - new method Coro::Handle::timeout.
196     - corrected speling of set...name to get...name in Coro::Socket.
197     - Coro::Socket::accept now returns a Coro::Socket, not a Coro::Handle.
198     - Coro::Handle now supports fileno and FILENO.
199     - added eg/myhttpd, a web server.
200 root 1.37 - Coro::Socket now accepts numeric ports as well as "port(number)"
201     syntax.
202 root 1.38 - moved some scheduling primitives into xs code. more to come.
203 root 1.39 - new simple priority system.
204 root 1.40 - implemented Coro::Event using XS, almost four times faster!
205 root 1.41 - small memory corruption problem fixed (boy that was difficult).
206 root 1.36
207 root 1.35 0.13 Wed Aug 8 16:53:07 CEST 2001
208 root 1.31 - new method Coro::Handle::readline.
209 root 1.34 - added eg/lwp and Coro::Handle::autoflush, to make LWP work.
210     (see eg/lwp on how to make LWP non-blocking).
211 root 1.31 - renamed Coro::Socket::new_inet to new.
212 root 1.32 - added Coro::Util, some utility functions.
213 root 1.33 - die/eval now works better (still get annoying (but true ;)
214     "Callback called exit" messages).
215 root 1.34 - Coro::Handle now supports timeout, and Coro::Socket Timeout.
216     - much better Coro::Socket support.
217 root 1.31
218     0.12 Fri Jul 27 04:19:01 CEST 2001
219 root 1.29 - do not use mmap if neither MAP_ANON nor MAP_ANONYMOUS is defined.
220 root 1.34 - very experimental stack sharing algorithm. not 100% safe but
221 root 1.28 should work well in practise ;)
222 root 1.30 - added Coro::RWLock.
223 root 1.31 - Coro::Specific now works.
224 root 1.28
225     0.11 Tue Jul 24 22:49:21 CEST 2001
226 root 1.27 - added specialized hack for newer and older linux versions (fast).
227     - renamed Coro::Event::IO to Coro::Handle.
228     - new module Coro::Socket.
229    
230 root 1.26 0.1 Tue Jul 24 01:47:53 CEST 2001
231 root 1.23 - release candidate 3. A rather new internal structure :(
232 root 1.24 - the great renaming: Damian Conway gave me a suitable replacement
233     for yield.
234 root 1.23 - added Coro/libcoro, a portable coroutine implementation for C
235 root 1.22 (not even perl-dependent!!!), which can be used by Coro::State.
236 root 1.20 - renamed SAVE_DEFSV (on xs-level only) to avoid symbol clash in
237     perl-5.6.
238 root 1.16 - new function Coro::Event::idle.
239     - the idle process is now overriden
240     by default in Coro::Event.
241 root 1.17 - Coro::Channel now enforces the size.
242 root 1.18 - canceling events now works in all cases.
243 root 1.19 - Coro state now include $_ and $@.
244     - yet another bug workaround that I do not really understand :(
245 root 1.21 - new module Coro::Event::IO (very undocumented) to do
246     non-blocking i/o.
247 root 1.25 - performance tuning.
248 root 1.16
249 root 1.15 0.08 Thu Jul 19 06:13:25 CEST 2001
250 root 1.14 - release candidate 2 (new functionality).
251 root 1.13 - add Coro::State::flush function.
252     - transfer now supports a flags value (mostly for speed ATM).
253     - might compile and work in the presence of threads now.
254 root 1.14 - continuations have a saner syntax.
255 root 1.19 - no more memleaks.
256 root 1.13
257 root 1.12 0.07 Tue Jul 17 17:40:18 CEST 2001
258     - release candidate 1 ;)
259     - slightly nicer code.
260     - fixed a scheduling bug in Coro::Event.
261    
262 root 1.11 0.06 Tue Jul 17 04:23:24 CEST 2001
263     - ok, I found the showstopper - the same sub must not be
264 root 1.9 re-entered in two different coroutines, otherwise => crash. I
265     see no easy solution to this problem, except by walking the call
266     chaing and saving/restoring the cv's, which is what I do now.
267 root 1.11 - memory leaks still latent, especially at thread termination.
268     - Coro::Event now works (haha).
269 root 1.9
270 root 1.8 0.05 Sun Jul 15 17:32:20 CEST 2001
271     - fixed a few issues in Coro::Event.
272     - I forgot to include Coro::Event in 0.04 :(:(:(
273    
274 root 1.7 0.04 Sun Jul 15 05:24:59 CEST 2001
275 root 1.5 - @_ is now properly localized.
276 root 1.4 - Coro::State is now easier subclassable.
277     - Coro::Cont now coroutine-aware.
278     - Coro::Specific is a low-overhead module to create
279     coroutine-specific vars.
280 root 1.6 - Coro::Event provides a simple interface to Event.
281 root 1.4
282 root 1.3 0.03 Fri Jul 13 14:51:52 CEST 2001
283 root 1.4 - transfer() now implemented in XS (beware).
284     - new module Coro::Cont for really faked continuations.
285     - big internal architecture changes: Coro::State is now
286 root 1.3 really low-level and can thus be used to implement other
287 root 1.4 interesting things, While "Coro::" implements a process-like
288     model. Still crude and subject to change.
289 root 1.3 - $_ and $@ are no longer being localized.
290    
291 root 1.2 0.02 Tue Jul 10 01:38:17 CEST 2001
292     - implemented "async" attribute.
293     - $_ and $@ are now localized.
