66 root 1.95 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
67 root 1.96 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
68     padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
69 root 1.95
70 pcg 1.94 0.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
71     - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
72    
73 pcg 1.93 0.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
74 root 1.103 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
75 pcg 1.91 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
76     as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
77     Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
78     between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
79     fixable).
80 pcg 1.92 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
81 pcg 1.91
82 pcg 1.90 0.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
83 pcg 1.86 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
84     faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
85 pcg 1.87 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
86 pcg 1.88 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
87     observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
88     of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
89     pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
90 pcg 1.89 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
91 pcg 1.90 - fix for threaded perl.
92 pcg 1.86
93 pcg 1.85 0.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
94 pcg 1.84 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
95     memory leaks.
96     - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
97 pcg 1.85 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
98     hopefully ignoring it "just works".
99 pcg 1.84
100 pcg 1.83 0.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
101     - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
102 pcg 1.82 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
103    
104 root 1.81 0.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
105     - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
106     of new features.
107 root 1.80 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
108     Highly correct stuff, that is...
109 root 1.81 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
110     the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.
111 root 1.80
112 root 1.79 0.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
113 root 1.76 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
114 root 1.78 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
115 root 1.77 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
116     so preselect it.
117 root 1.76
118 root 1.75 0.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
119     - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost
120     on reading, reported by jason@nichego.net.
121 root 1.74
122 root 1.73 0.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
123 root 1.72 - added a README.linux-glibc.
124     - new module Coro::Select.
125     - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
126     (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
127 root 1.73 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
128 root 1.72
129 root 1.71 0.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
130     - made lazy context switching the default.
131     - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
132     was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
133     - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
134     - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
135    
136 root 1.70 0.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
137 root 1.69 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
138 root 1.70 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
139     - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
140     ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
141     - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
142     of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
143 root 1.69
144 root 1.68 0.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
145     - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
146     - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
147     could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
148    
149 root 1.67 0.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
150 root 1.66 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
151     (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
152     without Event, which freezes).
153 root 1.65
154 root 1.64 0.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
155 root 1.63 - Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.

158 root 1.60 - some tests for Event.
159 root 1.61 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
160     and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
161     new ones.
162     - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
163 root 1.62 - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.
164 root 1.60
165 root 1.64 0.52 Tue Nov 6 21:36:18 CET 2001
166 root 1.58 - ported to cygwin (trivial).
167     patch by Gerrit P. Haase <gp@familiehaase.de>.
168     - small setjmp code fix by Sullivan.DanielJ@epamail.epa.gov.
169    
170 root 1.64 0.51 Thu Nov 1 20:39:01 CET 2001
171 root 1.54 - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
172     could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
173     error.
174 root 1.55 - added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
175 root 1.56 - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.
176     - implemented terminate with args + join.
177 root 1.54
178 root 1.64 0.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001
179 root 1.53 - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.
180 root 1.50 - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
181     in various modules.
182     - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
183 root 1.52 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.
184 root 1.48
185 root 1.47 0.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
186 root 1.43 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
187     inside Coro::Handle.
188 root 1.44 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
189     speed reasons.
190     - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
191     sjlj and ucontext should now work.
192     - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
193 root 1.45 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
194 root 1.46 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.
195     - fixed a bug that caused segfault when returning to main task
196     under some circumstances.
197     - other bugfixes.
198 root 1.43
199 root 1.42 0.45 Sun Sep 2 02:54:01 CEST 2001
200 root 1.36 - new method Coro::Handle::timeout.
201     - corrected speling of set...name to get...name in Coro::Socket.
202     - Coro::Socket::accept now returns a Coro::Socket, not a Coro::Handle.
203     - Coro::Handle now supports fileno and FILENO.
204     - added eg/myhttpd, a web server.
205 root 1.37 - Coro::Socket now accepts numeric ports as well as "port(number)"
206     syntax.
207 root 1.38 - moved some scheduling primitives into xs code. more to come.
208 root 1.39 - new simple priority system.
209 root 1.40 - implemented Coro::Event using XS, almost four times faster!
210 root 1.41 - small memory corruption problem fixed (boy that was difficult).
211 root 1.36
212 root 1.35 0.13 Wed Aug 8 16:53:07 CEST 2001
213 root 1.31 - new method Coro::Handle::readline.
214 root 1.34 - added eg/lwp and Coro::Handle::autoflush, to make LWP work.
215     (see eg/lwp on how to make LWP non-blocking).
216 root 1.31 - renamed Coro::Socket::new_inet to new.
217 root 1.32 - added Coro::Util, some utility functions.
218 root 1.33 - die/eval now works better (still get annoying (but true ;)
219     "Callback called exit" messages).
220 root 1.34 - Coro::Handle now supports timeout, and Coro::Socket Timeout.
221     - much better Coro::Socket support.
222 root 1.31
223     0.12 Fri Jul 27 04:19:01 CEST 2001
224 root 1.29 - do not use mmap if neither MAP_ANON nor MAP_ANONYMOUS is defined.
225 root 1.34 - very experimental stack sharing algorithm. not 100% safe but
226 root 1.28 should work well in practise ;)
227 root 1.30 - added Coro::RWLock.
228 root 1.31 - Coro::Specific now works.
229 root 1.28
230     0.11 Tue Jul 24 22:49:21 CEST 2001
231 root 1.27 - added specialized hack for newer and older linux versions (fast).
232     - renamed Coro::Event::IO to Coro::Handle.
233     - new module Coro::Socket.
234    
235 root 1.26 0.1 Tue Jul 24 01:47:53 CEST 2001
236 root 1.23 - release candidate 3. A rather new internal structure :(
237 root 1.24 - the great renaming: Damian Conway gave me a suitable replacement
238     for yield.
239 root 1.23 - added Coro/libcoro, a portable coroutine implementation for C
240 root 1.22 (not even perl-dependent!!!), which can be used by Coro::State.
241 root 1.20 - renamed SAVE_DEFSV (on xs-level only) to avoid symbol clash in
242     perl-5.6.
243 root 1.16 - new function Coro::Event::idle.
244     - the idle process is now overriden
245     by default in Coro::Event.

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