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

245 root 1.18 - canceling events now works in all cases.
246 root 1.19 - Coro state now include $_ and $@.
247     - yet another bug workaround that I do not really understand :(
248 root 1.21 - new module Coro::Event::IO (very undocumented) to do
249     non-blocking i/o.
250 root 1.25 - performance tuning.
251 root 1.16
252 root 1.15 0.08 Thu Jul 19 06:13:25 CEST 2001
253 root 1.14 - release candidate 2 (new functionality).
254 root 1.13 - add Coro::State::flush function.
255     - transfer now supports a flags value (mostly for speed ATM).
256     - might compile and work in the presence of threads now.
257 root 1.14 - continuations have a saner syntax.
258 root 1.19 - no more memleaks.
259 root 1.13
260 root 1.12 0.07 Tue Jul 17 17:40:18 CEST 2001
261     - release candidate 1 ;)
262     - slightly nicer code.
263     - fixed a scheduling bug in Coro::Event.
264    
265 root 1.11 0.06 Tue Jul 17 04:23:24 CEST 2001
266     - ok, I found the showstopper - the same sub must not be
267 root 1.9 re-entered in two different coroutines, otherwise => crash. I
268     see no easy solution to this problem, except by walking the call
269     chaing and saving/restoring the cv's, which is what I do now.
270 root 1.11 - memory leaks still latent, especially at thread termination.
271     - Coro::Event now works (haha).
272 root 1.9
273 root 1.8 0.05 Sun Jul 15 17:32:20 CEST 2001
274     - fixed a few issues in Coro::Event.
275     - I forgot to include Coro::Event in 0.04 :(:(:(
276    
277 root 1.7 0.04 Sun Jul 15 05:24:59 CEST 2001
278 root 1.5 - @_ is now properly localized.
279 root 1.4 - Coro::State is now easier subclassable.
280     - Coro::Cont now coroutine-aware.
281     - Coro::Specific is a low-overhead module to create
282     coroutine-specific vars.
283 root 1.6 - Coro::Event provides a simple interface to Event.
284 root 1.4
285 root 1.3 0.03 Fri Jul 13 14:51:52 CEST 2001
286 root 1.4 - transfer() now implemented in XS (beware).
287     - new module Coro::Cont for really faked continuations.
288     - big internal architecture changes: Coro::State is now
289 root 1.3 really low-level and can thus be used to implement other
290 root 1.4 interesting things, While "Coro::" implements a process-like
291     model. Still crude and subject to change.
292 root 1.3 - $_ and $@ are no longer being localized.
293    
294 root 1.2 0.02 Tue Jul 10 01:38:17 CEST 2001
295     - implemented "async" attribute.
