62    
63 root 1.98 1.1 Tue Feb 22 20:51:16 CET 2005
64 root 1.97 - support [l]inux method on amd64.

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

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

234     - renamed Coro::Event::IO to Coro::Handle.
235     - new module Coro::Socket.
236    
237 root 1.26 0.1 Tue Jul 24 01:47:53 CEST 2001
238 root 1.23 - release candidate 3. A rather new internal structure :(
239 root 1.24 - the great renaming: Damian Conway gave me a suitable replacement
240     for yield.
241 root 1.23 - added Coro/libcoro, a portable coroutine implementation for C
242 root 1.22 (not even perl-dependent!!!), which can be used by Coro::State.
243 root 1.20 - renamed SAVE_DEFSV (on xs-level only) to avoid symbol clash in
244     perl-5.6.
245 root 1.16 - new function Coro::Event::idle.
246     - the idle process is now overriden
247     by default in Coro::Event.

249 root 1.18 - canceling events now works in all cases.
250 root 1.19 - Coro state now include $_ and $@.
251     - yet another bug workaround that I do not really understand :(
252 root 1.21 - new module Coro::Event::IO (very undocumented) to do
253     non-blocking i/o.
254 root 1.25 - performance tuning.
255 root 1.16
256 root 1.15 0.08 Thu Jul 19 06:13:25 CEST 2001
257 root 1.14 - release candidate 2 (new functionality).
258 root 1.13 - add Coro::State::flush function.
259     - transfer now supports a flags value (mostly for speed ATM).
260     - might compile and work in the presence of threads now.
261 root 1.14 - continuations have a saner syntax.
262 root 1.19 - no more memleaks.
263 root 1.13
264 root 1.12 0.07 Tue Jul 17 17:40:18 CEST 2001
265     - release candidate 1 ;)
266     - slightly nicer code.
267     - fixed a scheduling bug in Coro::Event.
268    
269 root 1.11 0.06 Tue Jul 17 04:23:24 CEST 2001
270     - ok, I found the showstopper - the same sub must not be
271 root 1.9 re-entered in two different coroutines, otherwise => crash. I
272     see no easy solution to this problem, except by walking the call
273     chaing and saving/restoring the cv's, which is what I do now.
274 root 1.11 - memory leaks still latent, especially at thread termination.
275     - Coro::Event now works (haha).
276 root 1.9
277 root 1.8 0.05 Sun Jul 15 17:32:20 CEST 2001
278     - fixed a few issues in Coro::Event.
279     - I forgot to include Coro::Event in 0.04 :(:(:(
280    
281 root 1.7 0.04 Sun Jul 15 05:24:59 CEST 2001
282 root 1.5 - @_ is now properly localized.
283 root 1.4 - Coro::State is now easier subclassable.
284     - Coro::Cont now coroutine-aware.
285     - Coro::Specific is a low-overhead module to create
286     coroutine-specific vars.
287 root 1.6 - Coro::Event provides a simple interface to Event.
288 root 1.4
289 root 1.3 0.03 Fri Jul 13 14:51:52 CEST 2001
290 root 1.4 - transfer() now implemented in XS (beware).
291     - new module Coro::Cont for really faked continuations.
292     - big internal architecture changes: Coro::State is now
293 root 1.3 really low-level and can thus be used to implement other
294 root 1.4 interesting things, While "Coro::" implements a process-like
295     model. Still crude and subject to change.
296 root 1.3 - $_ and $@ are no longer being localized.
297    
298 root 1.2 0.02 Tue Jul 10 01:38:17 CEST 2001
