[ViewVC] Annotation of: cvs/Coro/Changes

Revision history for Perl extension Coro.

TODO: better (earlier) error messages on broken transfer's
TODO: destroy gets only called on cancel: fix(?)

3.3
        - implement $coro->on_destroy.
        - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
          documented and - hopefully - improved.
        - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
        - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
        - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
          that could errronously trigger.
        - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
          that immediately frees the coroutine data.
        - added Coro::guard function.

3.2  Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
        - improve portability to slightly older perls.
        - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
        - simplify configuration for users.
        - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
          their coro replacements.

3.11 Tue Dec  5 13:11:24 CET 2006
        - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even
          without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should
          notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :)
        - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have
          it. Also noticed by Andreas König :)
        - save/restore tainted status.
        - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5.

3.1  Mon Dec  4 23:03:40 CET 2006
        - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
        - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
        - give a better error message on deadlock.
        - document Coro::nready.
        - enhanced testsuite.

3.01 Sun Dec  3 23:47:42 CET 2006
        - forgot to include Coro::Timer.

3.0  Sun Dec  3 22:57:25 CET 2006
        - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
          the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
        - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
          pool (size currently hardcoded).
        - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
        - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
        - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
          no Coro::Event watchers were used.
        - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
          check for changed watchers.
        - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
          per event.
        - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
        - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
        - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
        - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
          some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
        - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
          directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
        - state/coro switching is much faster now.
        - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
        - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
        - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
        - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
        - updated to newest libcoro.
        - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
        - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
        - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
          and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
          if somebody asks for it :)
        - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
          spuriously without the event having happened.

2.5  Tue Nov  7 12:22:33 CET 2006
        - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
          use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
        - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
          make LWP non-blocking.
        - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
        - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
        - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
        - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
        - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
        - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
        - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
          by LWP(!!).
        - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
        - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
          kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
          did already.

2.1  Wed Nov  1 23:01:13 CET 2006
        - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
          zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
        - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
          (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
        - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
        - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
        - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
          pach and testing by Michael Schwern.

2.0  Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
        - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.

1.9  (never properly released due to a glitch)

1.8  Thu Feb  2 00:59:06 CET 2006
        - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
          mark & sweep gc run.
        - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.

1.7  Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
        - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
        - improved Makefile.PL explanations.

1.6  Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
        - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
          unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
          wrong package.
        - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
          perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
          invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
          normally uses.
        - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.

1.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
        - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.

1.5  Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
        - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
        - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
        - strict'ify some modules.
        - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
        - use XSLoader in selected modules.
        - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.

1.4  Tue Sep  6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
        - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
          when 'l'inux method was used.

1.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
        - some portability fixes/workarounds.

1.3  Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
        - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
        - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
          Coro::State::flush method.
        - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.

1.2  Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
        - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
        - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
        - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
        - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
        - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.

1.11 Thu Mar  3 18:00:52 CET 2005
        - change of contact address.

1.1 Tue Feb 22 20:51:16 CET 2005
        - support [l]inux method on amd64.
        - allow some context switches while compiling/eval'ing.

1.0  Tue Aug 10 03:47:27 CEST 2004
        - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
        - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
          padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.

0.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
        - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.

0.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
        - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
        - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
          as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
          Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
          between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
          fixable).
        - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.

0.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
        - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
          faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
        - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
        - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
          observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
          of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
          pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
        - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
        - fix for threaded perl.

0.9  Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
        - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
          memory leaks.
        - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
        - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
          hopefully ignoring it "just works".

0.8   Wed Nov  5 19:38:40 CET 2003
        - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
        - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.

0.7   Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
        - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
          of new features.
        - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
          Highly correct stuff, that is...
        - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
          the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.

0.652 Thu May  8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
        - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
          cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
        - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
          so preselect it.

0.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
        - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost
          on reading, reported by jason@nichego.net.

0.65  Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
        - added a README.linux-glibc.
        - new module Coro::Select.
        - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
          (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
        - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.

0.6   Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
        - made lazy context switching the default.
        - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
          was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
        - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
        - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.

0.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
        - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
        - added eg/readline, for elmex.
        - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
          ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
        - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
          of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.

0.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
        - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
        - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
          could it possibly have worked anywhere?)

0.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
        - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
          (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
          without Event, which freezes).

0.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
        - Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.

0.53  Tue Nov 27 21:11:13 CET 2001
        - some tests for Event.
        - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
          and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
          new ones.
        - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
        - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.

0.52  Tue Nov  6 21:36:18 CET 2001
        - ported to cygwin (trivial).
          patch by Gerrit P. Haase <gp@familiehaase.de>.
        - small setjmp code fix by Sullivan.DanielJ@epamail.epa.gov.

0.51  Thu Nov  1 20:39:01 CET 2001
        - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
          could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
          error.
        - added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
        - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.
        - implemented terminate with args + join.

0.5   Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001
        - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.
        - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
          in various modules.
        - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
        - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.

0.49  Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
        - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
          inside Coro::Handle.
        - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
          speed reasons.
        - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
          sjlj and ucontext should now work.
        - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
        - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
        - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.
        - fixed a bug that caused segfault when returning to main task
          under some circumstances.
        - other bugfixes.

0.45  Sun Sep  2 02:54:01 CEST 2001
        - new method Coro::Handle::timeout.
        - corrected speling of set...name to get...name in Coro::Socket.
        - Coro::Socket::accept now returns a Coro::Socket, not a Coro::Handle.
        - Coro::Handle now supports fileno and FILENO.
        - added eg/myhttpd, a web server.
        - Coro::Socket now accepts numeric ports as well as "port(number)"
          syntax.
        - moved some scheduling primitives into xs code. more to come.
        - new simple priority system.
        - implemented Coro::Event using XS, almost four times faster!
        - small memory corruption problem fixed (boy that was difficult).

0.13  Wed Aug  8 16:53:07 CEST 2001
        - new method Coro::Handle::readline.
        - added eg/lwp and Coro::Handle::autoflush, to make LWP work.
          (see eg/lwp on how to make LWP non-blocking).
        - renamed Coro::Socket::new_inet to new.
        - added Coro::Util, some utility functions.
        - die/eval now works better (still get annoying (but true ;)
          "Callback called exit" messages).
        - Coro::Handle now supports timeout, and Coro::Socket Timeout.
        - much better Coro::Socket support.

0.12  Fri Jul 27 04:19:01 CEST 2001
        - do not use mmap if neither MAP_ANON nor MAP_ANONYMOUS is defined.
        - very experimental stack sharing algorithm. not 100% safe but
          should work well in practise ;)
        - added Coro::RWLock.
        - Coro::Specific now works.

0.11  Tue Jul 24 22:49:21 CEST 2001
        - added specialized hack for newer and older linux versions (fast).
        - renamed Coro::Event::IO to Coro::Handle.
        - new module Coro::Socket.

0.1   Tue Jul 24 01:47:53 CEST 2001
        - release candidate 3. A rather new internal structure :(
        - the great renaming: Damian Conway gave me a suitable replacement
          for yield.
        - added Coro/libcoro, a portable coroutine implementation for C
          (not even perl-dependent!!!), which can be used by Coro::State.
        - renamed SAVE_DEFSV (on xs-level only) to avoid symbol clash in
          perl-5.6.
        - new function Coro::Event::idle.
        - the idle process is now overriden
          by default in Coro::Event.
        - Coro::Channel now enforces the size.
        - canceling events now works in all cases.
        - Coro state now include $_ and $@.
        - yet another bug workaround that I do not really understand :(
        - new module Coro::Event::IO (very undocumented) to do
          non-blocking i/o.
        - performance tuning.

0.08  Thu Jul 19 06:13:25 CEST 2001
        - release candidate 2 (new functionality).
        - add Coro::State::flush function.
        - transfer now supports a flags value (mostly for speed ATM).
        - might compile and work in the presence of threads now.
        - continuations have a saner syntax.
        - no more memleaks.

0.07  Tue Jul 17 17:40:18 CEST 2001
        - release candidate 1 ;)
        - slightly nicer code.
        - fixed a scheduling bug in Coro::Event.

0.06  Tue Jul 17 04:23:24 CEST 2001
        - ok, I found the showstopper - the same sub must not be
          re-entered in two different coroutines, otherwise => crash. I
          see no easy solution to this problem, except by walking the call
          chaing and saving/restoring the cv's, which is what I do now.
        - memory leaks still latent, especially at thread termination.
        - Coro::Event now works (haha).

0.05  Sun Jul 15 17:32:20 CEST 2001
        - fixed a few issues in Coro::Event.
        - I forgot to include Coro::Event in 0.04 :(:(:(

0.04  Sun Jul 15 05:24:59 CEST 2001
        - @_ is now properly localized.
        - Coro::State is now easier subclassable.
        - Coro::Cont now coroutine-aware.
        - Coro::Specific is a low-overhead module to create
          coroutine-specific vars.
        - Coro::Event provides a simple interface to Event.

0.03  Fri Jul 13 14:51:52 CEST 2001
        - transfer() now implemented in XS (beware).
        - new module Coro::Cont for really faked continuations.
        - big internal architecture changes: Coro::State is now
          really low-level and can thus be used to implement other
          interesting things, While "Coro::" implements a process-like
          model. Still crude and subject to change.
        - $_ and $@ are no longer being localized.

0.02  Tue Jul 10 01:38:17 CEST 2001
        - implemented "async" attribute.
        - $_ and $@ are now localized.
        - added Coro::Channel.
        - more testcases, still no docs.

0.01  Tue Jul  3 02:18:41 CEST 2001
        - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.

21	root	1.182	- simplify configuration for users.
22			- optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
23			their coro replacements.
24	root	1.179
25	root	1.178	3.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006
26			- fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even
27			without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should
28			notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :)
29			- do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have
30			it. Also noticed by Andreas König :)
31			- save/restore tainted status.
32			- verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5.
33
34	root	1.177	3.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
35			- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
36	root	1.175	- incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
37	root	1.173	- give a better error message on deadlock.
38	root	1.175	- document Coro::nready.
39	root	1.174	- enhanced testsuite.
40	root	1.169
41	root	1.172	3.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006

43
44	root	1.171	3.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
45	root	1.163	- the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
46			the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
47	root	1.166	- implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
48			pool (size currently hardcoded).
49	root	1.155	- make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
50	root	1.157	- eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
51	root	1.152	- Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
52	root	1.161	no Coro::Event watchers were used.
53	root	1.167	- Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
54			check for changed watchers.
55	root	1.170	- Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
56			per event.
57	root	1.152	- Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
58	root	1.165	- new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
59	root	1.164	- document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
60	root	1.163	- putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
61			some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
62	root	1.161	- minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
63			directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
64	root	1.156	- state/coro switching is much faster now.
65	root	1.154	- very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
66	root	1.153	- avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
67	root	1.154	- removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
68			- replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
69	root	1.156	- updated to newest libcoro.
70	root	1.159	- implement enhanced support for valgrind.
71	root	1.162	- implement is_ready and return value for ready.
72	root	1.168	- removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
73			and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
74			if somebody asks for it :)
75	root	1.163	- many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
76			spuriously without the event having happened.
77	root	1.146
78	root	1.145	2.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
79	root	1.143	- made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
80			use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
81	root	1.140	- added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
82			make LWP non-blocking.
83			- should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
84	root	1.141	- fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
85	root	1.136	- reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
86			- manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
87	root	1.137	- timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
88			- allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
89	root	1.138	- emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
90			by LWP(!!).
91			- updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
92	root	1.140	- remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
93			kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
94			did already.
95	root	1.135
96	root	1.134	2.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
97			- fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
98			zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
99	root	1.132	- use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
100			(uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
101			- coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
102	root	1.134	- Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
103	root	1.132	- updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
104	root	1.134	pach and testing by Michael Schwern.

110
111	root	1.127	1.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
112	root	1.125	- applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
113			mark & sweep gc run.

119
120	root	1.119	1.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
121	root	1.117	- additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
122	root	1.121	unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
123	root	1.117	wrong package.
124	root	1.118	- add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
125			perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
126	root	1.121	invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
127			normally uses.
128	root	1.120	- make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
129	root	1.117
130	root	1.116	1.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005

132
133	root	1.115	1.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
134	root	1.114	- use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
135	root	1.115	- fix Coro::Select 'select'.
136			- strict'ify some modules.
137	root	1.112	- libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
138	root	1.115	- use XSLoader in selected modules.
139			- remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
140	root	1.112
141	root	1.111	1.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
142			- libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
143			when 'l'inux method was used.
144
145	root	1.110	1.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005

147
148	root	1.107	1.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
149	root	1.108	- no code changes. module seems to work fine.
150	root	1.106	- improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
151			Coro::State::flush method.
152	root	1.107	- no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
153	root	1.106
154	root	1.105	1.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
155	root	1.100	- included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
156	root	1.101	- use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
157	root	1.102	- accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
158	root	1.104	- fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
159	root	1.105	- fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.
160	root	1.100
161	root	1.99	1.11 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005

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

167	root	1.97
168	root	1.96	1.0 Tue Aug 10 03:47:27 CEST 2004
169	root	1.95	- Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
170	root	1.96	- fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
171			padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
172	root	1.95
173	pcg	1.94	0.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
174			- remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
175
176	pcg	1.93	0.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
177	root	1.103	- tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
178	pcg	1.91	- made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
179			as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
180			Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
181			between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
182			fixable).
183	pcg	1.92	- (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
184	pcg	1.91
185	pcg	1.90	0.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
186	pcg	1.86	- removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
187			faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
188	pcg	1.87	- a memleak with (real) closures remains.
189	pcg	1.88	- dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
190			observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
191			of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
192			pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
193	pcg	1.89	- fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
194	pcg	1.90	- fix for threaded perl.
195	pcg	1.86
196	pcg	1.85	0.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
197	pcg	1.84	- fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
198			memory leaks.
199			- stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
200	pcg	1.85	- perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
201			hopefully ignoring it "just works".
202	pcg	1.84
203	pcg	1.83	0.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
204			- port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
205	pcg	1.82	- honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
206
207	root	1.81	0.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
208			- the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
209			of new features.
210	root	1.80	- uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
211			Highly correct stuff, that is...
212	root	1.81	- fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
213			the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.
214	root	1.80
215	root	1.79	0.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
216	root	1.76	- Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
217	root	1.78	cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
218	root	1.77	- Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
219			so preselect it.
220	root	1.76
221	root	1.75	0.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
222			- fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost

224	root	1.74
225	root	1.73	0.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
226	root	1.72	- added a README.linux-glibc.
227			- new module Coro::Select.
228			- also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
229			(I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
230	root	1.73	- set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
231	root	1.72
232	root	1.71	0.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
233			- made lazy context switching the default.
234			- fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
235			was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
236			- fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
237			- reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
238
239	root	1.70	0.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
240	root	1.69	- fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
241	root	1.70	- added eg/readline, for elmex.
242			- Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
243			->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
244			- fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
245			of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
246	root	1.69
247	root	1.68	0.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
248			- adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
249			- fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
250			could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
251
252	root	1.67	0.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
253	root	1.66	- removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
254			(some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
255			without Event, which freezes).
256	root	1.65
257	root	1.64	0.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
258	root	1.63	- Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.
259
260	root	1.64	0.53 Tue Nov 27 21:11:13 CET 2001
261	root	1.60	- some tests for Event.
262	root	1.61	- slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
263			and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
264			new ones.
265			- Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
266	root	1.62	- new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.
267	root	1.60
268	root	1.64	0.52 Tue Nov 6 21:36:18 CET 2001
269	root	1.58	- ported to cygwin (trivial).
270			patch by Gerrit P. Haase <gp@familiehaase.de>.
271			- small setjmp code fix by Sullivan.DanielJ@epamail.epa.gov.
272
273	root	1.64	0.51 Thu Nov 1 20:39:01 CET 2001
274	root	1.54	- terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
275			could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
276			error.
277	root	1.55	- added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
278	root	1.56	- Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.
279			- implemented terminate with args + join.
280	root	1.54
281	root	1.64	0.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001
282	root	1.53	- fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.
283	root	1.50	- small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
284			in various modules.
285			- splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
286	root	1.52	- added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.
287	root	1.48
288	root	1.47	0.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
289	root	1.43	- changed some method calls to function calls for speed
290			inside Coro::Handle.
291	root	1.44	- make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
292			speed reasons.
293			- IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
294			sjlj and ucontext should now work.
295			- IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
296	root	1.45	- swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
297	root	1.46	- changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.
298			- fixed a bug that caused segfault when returning to main task
299			under some circumstances.

303	root	1.36	- new method Coro::Handle::timeout.
304			- corrected speling of set...name to get...name in Coro::Socket.
305			- Coro::Socket::accept now returns a Coro::Socket, not a Coro::Handle.
306			- Coro::Handle now supports fileno and FILENO.
307			- added eg/myhttpd, a web server.
308	root	1.37	- Coro::Socket now accepts numeric ports as well as "port(number)"
309			syntax.
310	root	1.38	- moved some scheduling primitives into xs code. more to come.
311	root	1.39	- new simple priority system.
312	root	1.40	- implemented Coro::Event using XS, almost four times faster!
313	root	1.41	- small memory corruption problem fixed (boy that was difficult).

315	root	1.35	0.13 Wed Aug 8 16:53:07 CEST 2001
316	root	1.31	- new method Coro::Handle::readline.
317	root	1.34	- added eg/lwp and Coro::Handle::autoflush, to make LWP work.
318			(see eg/lwp on how to make LWP non-blocking).
319	root	1.31	- renamed Coro::Socket::new_inet to new.
320	root	1.32	- added Coro::Util, some utility functions.
321	root	1.33	- die/eval now works better (still get annoying (but true ;)
322			"Callback called exit" messages).
323	root	1.34	- Coro::Handle now supports timeout, and Coro::Socket Timeout.
324			- much better Coro::Socket support.
325	root	1.31
326			0.12 Fri Jul 27 04:19:01 CEST 2001
327	root	1.29	- do not use mmap if neither MAP_ANON nor MAP_ANONYMOUS is defined.
328	root	1.34	- very experimental stack sharing algorithm. not 100% safe but
329	root	1.28	should work well in practise ;)
330	root	1.30	- added Coro::RWLock.
331	root	1.31	- Coro::Specific now works.
332	root	1.28
333			0.11 Tue Jul 24 22:49:21 CEST 2001

337
338	root	1.26	0.1 Tue Jul 24 01:47:53 CEST 2001
339	root	1.23	- release candidate 3. A rather new internal structure :(
340	root	1.24	- the great renaming: Damian Conway gave me a suitable replacement
341			for yield.
342	root	1.23	- added Coro/libcoro, a portable coroutine implementation for C
343	root	1.22	(not even perl-dependent!!!), which can be used by Coro::State.
344	root	1.20	- renamed SAVE_DEFSV (on xs-level only) to avoid symbol clash in
345			perl-5.6.
346	root	1.16	- new function Coro::Event::idle.
347			- the idle process is now overriden
348			by default in Coro::Event.
349	root	1.17	- Coro::Channel now enforces the size.
350	root	1.18	- canceling events now works in all cases.
351	root	1.19	- Coro state now include $_ and $@.
352			- yet another bug workaround that I do not really understand :(
353	root	1.21	- new module Coro::Event::IO (very undocumented) to do
354			non-blocking i/o.
355	root	1.25	- performance tuning.
356	root	1.16
357	root	1.15	0.08 Thu Jul 19 06:13:25 CEST 2001
358	root	1.14	- release candidate 2 (new functionality).
359	root	1.13	- add Coro::State::flush function.
360			- transfer now supports a flags value (mostly for speed ATM).
361			- might compile and work in the presence of threads now.
362	root	1.14	- continuations have a saner syntax.
363	root	1.19	- no more memleaks.

368			- fixed a scheduling bug in Coro::Event.
369
370	root	1.11	0.06 Tue Jul 17 04:23:24 CEST 2001
371			- ok, I found the showstopper - the same sub must not be
372	root	1.9	re-entered in two different coroutines, otherwise => crash. I
373			see no easy solution to this problem, except by walking the call
374			chaing and saving/restoring the cv's, which is what I do now.
375	root	1.11	- memory leaks still latent, especially at thread termination.
376			- Coro::Event now works (haha).

389	root	1.4
390	root	1.3	0.03 Fri Jul 13 14:51:52 CEST 2001
391	root	1.4	- transfer() now implemented in XS (beware).
392			- new module Coro::Cont for really faked continuations.
393			- big internal architecture changes: Coro::State is now
394	root	1.3	really low-level and can thus be used to implement other
395	root	1.4	interesting things, While "Coro::" implements a process-like
396			model. Still crude and subject to change.
397	root	1.3	- $_ and $@ are no longer being localized.
