2 root 1.113
3 root 1.132 2.1
4     - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
5     (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
6     - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
7     - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
8     pach by Michael Schwern.

27 root 1.117 wrong package.
28 root 1.118 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
29     perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get

66     - change of contact address.
67    
68 root 1.98 1.1 Tue Feb 22 20:51:16 CET 2005
69 root 1.97 - support [l]inux method on amd64.
70 root 1.109 - allow some context switches while compiling/eval'ing.
71 root 1.97
72 root 1.96 1.0 Tue Aug 10 03:47:27 CEST 2004
73 root 1.95 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
74 root 1.96 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
75     padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
76 root 1.95
77 pcg 1.94 0.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
78     - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
79    
80 pcg 1.93 0.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
81 root 1.103 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
82 pcg 1.91 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
83     as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
84     Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
85     between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
86     fixable).
87 pcg 1.92 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
88 pcg 1.91
89 pcg 1.90 0.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
90 pcg 1.86 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
91     faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
92 pcg 1.87 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
93 pcg 1.88 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
94     observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
95     of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
96     pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
97 pcg 1.89 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
98 pcg 1.90 - fix for threaded perl.
99 pcg 1.86
100 pcg 1.85 0.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
101 pcg 1.84 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
102     memory leaks.
103     - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
104 pcg 1.85 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
105     hopefully ignoring it "just works".
106 pcg 1.84
107 pcg 1.83 0.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
108     - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
109 pcg 1.82 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
110    
111 root 1.81 0.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
112     - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
113     of new features.
114 root 1.80 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
115     Highly correct stuff, that is...
116 root 1.81 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
117     the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.
118 root 1.80
119 root 1.79 0.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
120 root 1.76 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
121 root 1.78 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
122 root 1.77 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
123     so preselect it.
124 root 1.76
125 root 1.75 0.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
126     - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost
127     on reading, reported by jason@nichego.net.
128 root 1.74
129 root 1.73 0.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
130 root 1.72 - added a README.linux-glibc.
131     - new module Coro::Select.
132     - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
133     (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
134 root 1.73 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
135 root 1.72
136 root 1.71 0.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
137     - made lazy context switching the default.
138     - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
139     was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
140     - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
141     - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
142    
143 root 1.70 0.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
144 root 1.69 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
145 root 1.70 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
146     - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
147     ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
148     - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
149     of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
150 root 1.69
151 root 1.68 0.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
152     - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
153     - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
154     could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
155    
156 root 1.67 0.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
157 root 1.66 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
158     (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
159     without Event, which freezes).
160 root 1.65
161 root 1.64 0.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
162 root 1.63 - Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.

164 root 1.64 0.53 Tue Nov 27 21:11:13 CET 2001
165 root 1.60 - some tests for Event.
166 root 1.61 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
167     and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
168     new ones.
169     - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
170 root 1.62 - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.
171 root 1.60
172 root 1.64 0.52 Tue Nov 6 21:36:18 CET 2001
173 root 1.58 - ported to cygwin (trivial).
174     patch by Gerrit P. Haase <gp@familiehaase.de>.
175     - small setjmp code fix by Sullivan.DanielJ@epamail.epa.gov.
176    
177 root 1.64 0.51 Thu Nov 1 20:39:01 CET 2001
178 root 1.54 - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
179     could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
180     error.
181 root 1.55 - added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
182 root 1.56 - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.
183     - implemented terminate with args + join.
184 root 1.54
185 root 1.64 0.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001
186 root 1.53 - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.
187 root 1.50 - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
188     in various modules.
189     - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
190 root 1.52 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.
191 root 1.48
192 root 1.47 0.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
193 root 1.43 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
194     inside Coro::Handle.
195 root 1.44 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
196     speed reasons.
197     - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
198     sjlj and ucontext should now work.
199     - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
200 root 1.45 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
201 root 1.46 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.
202     - fixed a bug that caused segfault when returning to main task
203     under some circumstances.
204     - other bugfixes.
205 root 1.43
206 root 1.42 0.45 Sun Sep 2 02:54:01 CEST 2001
207 root 1.36 - new method Coro::Handle::timeout.
208     - corrected speling of set...name to get...name in Coro::Socket.
209     - Coro::Socket::accept now returns a Coro::Socket, not a Coro::Handle.
210     - Coro::Handle now supports fileno and FILENO.
211     - added eg/myhttpd, a web server.
212 root 1.37 - Coro::Socket now accepts numeric ports as well as "port(number)"
213     syntax.
214 root 1.38 - moved some scheduling primitives into xs code. more to come.
215 root 1.39 - new simple priority system.
216 root 1.40 - implemented Coro::Event using XS, almost four times faster!
217 root 1.41 - small memory corruption problem fixed (boy that was difficult).
218 root 1.36
219 root 1.35 0.13 Wed Aug 8 16:53:07 CEST 2001
220 root 1.31 - new method Coro::Handle::readline.
221 root 1.34 - added eg/lwp and Coro::Handle::autoflush, to make LWP work.
222     (see eg/lwp on how to make LWP non-blocking).
223 root 1.31 - renamed Coro::Socket::new_inet to new.
224 root 1.32 - added Coro::Util, some utility functions.
225 root 1.33 - die/eval now works better (still get annoying (but true ;)
226     "Callback called exit" messages).
227 root 1.34 - Coro::Handle now supports timeout, and Coro::Socket Timeout.
228     - much better Coro::Socket support.
229 root 1.31
230     0.12 Fri Jul 27 04:19:01 CEST 2001
231 root 1.29 - do not use mmap if neither MAP_ANON nor MAP_ANONYMOUS is defined.
232 root 1.34 - very experimental stack sharing algorithm. not 100% safe but
233 root 1.28 should work well in practise ;)
234 root 1.30 - added Coro::RWLock.
235 root 1.31 - Coro::Specific now works.
236 root 1.28
237     0.11 Tue Jul 24 22:49:21 CEST 2001
238 root 1.27 - added specialized hack for newer and older linux versions (fast).
239     - renamed Coro::Event::IO to Coro::Handle.
240     - new module Coro::Socket.
241    
242 root 1.26 0.1 Tue Jul 24 01:47:53 CEST 2001
243 root 1.23 - release candidate 3. A rather new internal structure :(
244 root 1.24 - the great renaming: Damian Conway gave me a suitable replacement
245     for yield.
246 root 1.23 - added Coro/libcoro, a portable coroutine implementation for C
247 root 1.22 (not even perl-dependent!!!), which can be used by Coro::State.
248 root 1.20 - renamed SAVE_DEFSV (on xs-level only) to avoid symbol clash in
249     perl-5.6.
250 root 1.16 - new function Coro::Event::idle.
251     - the idle process is now overriden
252     by default in Coro::Event.

254 root 1.18 - canceling events now works in all cases.
255 root 1.19 - Coro state now include $_ and $@.
256     - yet another bug workaround that I do not really understand :(
257 root 1.21 - new module Coro::Event::IO (very undocumented) to do
258     non-blocking i/o.
259 root 1.25 - performance tuning.
260 root 1.16
261 root 1.15 0.08 Thu Jul 19 06:13:25 CEST 2001
262 root 1.14 - release candidate 2 (new functionality).
263 root 1.13 - add Coro::State::flush function.
264     - transfer now supports a flags value (mostly for speed ATM).
265     - might compile and work in the presence of threads now.
266 root 1.14 - continuations have a saner syntax.
267 root 1.19 - no more memleaks.
268 root 1.13
269 root 1.12 0.07 Tue Jul 17 17:40:18 CEST 2001
270     - release candidate 1 ;)
271     - slightly nicer code.
272     - fixed a scheduling bug in Coro::Event.
273    
274 root 1.11 0.06 Tue Jul 17 04:23:24 CEST 2001
275     - ok, I found the showstopper - the same sub must not be
276 root 1.9 re-entered in two different coroutines, otherwise => crash. I
277     see no easy solution to this problem, except by walking the call
278     chaing and saving/restoring the cv's, which is what I do now.
279 root 1.11 - memory leaks still latent, especially at thread termination.
280     - Coro::Event now works (haha).
281 root 1.9
282 root 1.8 0.05 Sun Jul 15 17:32:20 CEST 2001
283     - fixed a few issues in Coro::Event.
284     - I forgot to include Coro::Event in 0.04 :(:(:(
285    
286 root 1.7 0.04 Sun Jul 15 05:24:59 CEST 2001
287 root 1.5 - @_ is now properly localized.
288 root 1.4 - Coro::State is now easier subclassable.
289     - Coro::Cont now coroutine-aware.
290     - Coro::Specific is a low-overhead module to create
291     coroutine-specific vars.
292 root 1.6 - Coro::Event provides a simple interface to Event.
293 root 1.4
294 root 1.3 0.03 Fri Jul 13 14:51:52 CEST 2001
295 root 1.4 - transfer() now implemented in XS (beware).
296     - new module Coro::Cont for really faked continuations.
297     - big internal architecture changes: Coro::State is now
298 root 1.3 really low-level and can thus be used to implement other
299 root 1.4 interesting things, While "Coro::" implements a process-like
300     model. Still crude and subject to change.
301 root 1.3 - $_ and $@ are no longer being localized.
302    
303 root 1.2 0.02 Tue Jul 10 01:38:17 CEST 2001
304     - implemented "async" attribute.
305     - $_ and $@ are now localized.
