# User Rev Content
1 root 1.1 Revision history for Perl extension Coro.
2 root 1.113
3 root 1.218 TODO: should explore PerlIO::via::CoroCede and PerlIO::via::CoroAIO.
4 root 1.226 TODO: maybe implement a default message channel, very much like Erlang
5     (which is cool in a lot of important aspects (failures!),
6 root 1.247 but very lacking in others (higher level ipc)).
7 root 1.173
8 root 1.292 4.21 Sun Nov 25 10:48:59 CET 2007
9 root 1.290 - fix a spurious memory read.
10 root 1.291 - Coro::EV no longer keeps the eventloop "alive".
11 root 1.290
12 root 1.289 4.2 Fri Nov 9 20:47:05 CET 2007
13 root 1.282 - enable/disable tracing from a new coroutine, not a pooled one.
14 root 1.283 - fix a memleak in Coro::Event.
15 root 1.284 - removed killall call from fork_eval.
16     - made sure store_fd is already loaded so that fork_eval
17     does not have to parse autoload in each subprocess.
18 root 1.288 - only use assembly method if -O switch is in $Config{optimize}.
19 root 1.289 - add (optional) Coro::EV module, so far the best event loop module
20     directly supported by Coro.
21     - if the event model is EV, use EV::DNS to resolve
22     stuff in Coro::Util.
23 root 1.286 - don't get confused by multiple event notifications in Coro::Handle.
24 root 1.287 - initial support for EV (libevent interface).
25 root 1.289 - require Event and EV using configure_requires, to force their existance.
26 root 1.282
27 root 1.281 4.13 Wed Oct 24 07:26:45 CEST 2007
28 root 1.277 - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw.
29 root 1.278 - use a vastly more complicated technique to localise
30     $SIG{__WARN/DIE__} that also works on perls <= 5.8.8.
31 root 1.279 - use a coroutine for the idle callback Coro::Event,
32     instead of running Event in the current coroutine context.
33     This also catches recursive invocations.
34 root 1.280 - actually report fork errors in gethostbyname and inet_aton.
35 root 1.277
36 root 1.276 4.11 Thu Oct 11 02:40:24 CEST 2007
37     - port to threaded perls.
38    
39 root 1.275 4.1 Thu Oct 11 02:38:16 CEST 2007
40 root 1.264 - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now
41     be local to each coro (see Coro::State).
42 root 1.274 - incompatible change: for very deep reasons, cede and cede_notself
43     cannot return anything, so nothing will be returned.
44 root 1.264 - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested).
45     - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(.
46     - overlay the saved state over the context stack. This saves
47     a few hundred bytes per coroutine on average and also
48     speeds up context switching a bit.
49 root 1.265 - further tune default stack sizes.
50 root 1.264 - (more) correctly calculate stack usage in coro_rss.
51 root 1.267 - Coro::Storable::blocking_* did not properly lock
52     resulting in races between coroutines.
53     - added Coro::Storable::guard.
54 root 1.268 - stopping to trace a coroutine could destroy the cctx of
55     an unrelated coroutine.
56 root 1.269 - explain the relationship between Perl and C coroutines in
57     more detail in Coro::State.
58 root 1.270 - Coro::Util::inet_aton did not short-circuit dotted quad forms,
59     causing a fork per resolve. This also affected Coro::Socket.
60 root 1.272 - switch to a separate stack in $coro->call/eval to avoid
61     invalidating pointers.
62 root 1.264
63 root 1.263 4.03 Sat Oct 6 21:24:00 CEST 2007
64 root 1.262 - added Coro::throw method.
65     - minor code cleanups.
66    
67 root 1.261 4.02 Sat Oct 6 02:36:47 CEST 2007
68 root 1.258 - fix a very minor per-coroutine memleak (a single codereference).
69 root 1.259 - fixed a bug where the currently in-use c context would be freed
70     prematurely (can happen only when programs change the stacksize
71     or use tracing).
72     - tracing can no longer keep a coro alive after it terminated.
73 root 1.260 - do static branch prediction in the common path for gcc. gives
74     about 2-5% speed improvement here.
75 root 1.258
76 root 1.256 4.01 Fri Oct 5 22:10:49 CEST 2007
77 root 1.257 - instead of recreating *a* standard output handle we simply
78     use STDOUT, which is faster and hopefully more robust.
79 root 1.255
80 root 1.254 4.0 Fri Oct 5 12:56:00 CEST 2007
81 root 1.238 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze.
82 root 1.244 - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine
83     debugging, tracing and much more.
84 root 1.252 - major bug fix: unbelievable, but true: $_, $/ and many other
85     "saved" variables actually weren't being saved. This has been fixed,
86     of course, while increasing performance while losing all the save
87     flags.
88 root 1.251 - save flags are gone, and all the api functions dealing with them.
89 root 1.232 - added Coro::Semaphore::adjust.
90 root 1.233 - added Coro::Util::fork_eval.
91     - added Coro::Storable::{nfreeze,blocking_{freeze,nfreeze}}.
92 root 1.248 - added Coro::killall.
93 root 1.236 - reduce initial stack sizes to allow for "micro-coroutines".
94 root 1.239 - better async_pool resource management, moved parts of async_pool
95 root 1.240 handling to XS (major speed improvement).
96 root 1.245 - actually croak before modifying important data structures.
97     - refuse to transfer while compiling.
98     - possibly support eval EXPR better now.
99 root 1.249 - enable assembly per default on linux+bsd x86+amd64.
100 root 1.253 - all internal members were renamed _something for easier subclassing.
101 root 1.237 - many minor tweaks.
102 root 1.232
103 root 1.231 3.63 Wed May 16 14:10:06 CEST 2007
104 root 1.230 - implement handcoded assembly for x86/amd64 SVR ABI.
105    
106 root 1.229 3.62 Fri Apr 27 21:36:06 CEST 2007
107     - upgrade libcoro (which might set unwind info correctly).
108 root 1.228 - change default on linux to setjmp/longjmp.
109 root 1.227
110 root 1.226 3.61 Thu Apr 19 12:36:18 CEST 2007
111 root 1.225 - Coro::Storable caused an endless loop when thawing invalid
112     pst's sometimes.
113 root 1.223 - use a Semaphore in Coro::Storable, as Storable doesn't
114 root 1.224 seem to be reentrant (although it is documented to
115     be threadsafe...).
116     - fix Coro::Signal to bring back the original unreliable
117     but stateful semantics.
118 root 1.226 - fixed a lot of typos in Coro.pm (patch submitted by David
119     Steinbrunner, which applied flawlessly).
120 root 1.223
121     3.6 Sat Apr 14 17:13:31 CEST 2007
122 root 1.217 - added some bugfixes to get eg/myhttpd working again.
123 root 1.218 - added Coro::Storable for often-cede'ing freeze/thaw.
124 root 1.219 - try to do a clean exit when a coroutine calls exit
125     (EXPERIMENTAL).
126 root 1.220 - got rid of indirect call through _coro_init.
127     - updated the partly antique examples in eg/ to
128     work again and be a bit less magic, too.
129     - fixed Coro::Signal semantics to work as documented again.
130 root 1.217
131 root 1.216 3.55 Sun Mar 25 01:20:47 CET 2007
132 root 1.215 - add SAVE_DEFFH to save the default filehandle and enable
133     it by default.
134     - finally move socket-operations from Coro::Socket to Coro::Handle
135     to be able to unblock foreign sockets.
136     - add Coro::State::save_also and guarded_save.
137 root 1.211 - add count accessor to Coro::Semaphore.
138 root 1.212 - add Coro::State::cctx_stacksize.
139 root 1.213 - just for the fun of it, do not rely on implicit context,
140     which can dramatically improve performance, but people
141     using windows-process-emulation perls do not care much about
142     performance.
143 root 1.211
144 root 1.210 3.51 Sun Mar 4 14:18:04 CET 2007
145 root 1.209 - fixed a problem when you weakened references to Coro::State's
146     (patch by Yuval Kogman).
147    
148 root 1.208 3.501 Wed Feb 28 12:44:07 CET 2007
149     - rename some global symbols as macosx from hell redefines
150     them without asking.
151    
152 root 1.207 3.5 Tue Feb 13 20:22:53 CET 2007
153 root 1.204 - do AnyEvent model detection earlier, avoiding problems
154     caused by first using AnyEvent and later Coro::Event.
155 root 1.205 - implement and document Coro::Event event objects.
156     - fix a potential problem in Coro::Event causing crashes.
157 root 1.206 - initialise PL_comppad when creating a new coroutine,
158     avoids crashes on early coro destruction.
159 root 1.204
160 root 1.203 3.41 Mon Jan 22 19:19:49 CET 2007
161 root 1.202 - readline on Coro::Handle did not support undefined $/,
162     nor did it deliver partial lines on EOF or error.
163 root 1.203 - implement malloc fallback for stack allocation because
164     stupid broken idiotic OSX has a stupid broken
165     idiotic fits-the-whole-os mmap "implementation" and
166     my dick feels longer if Coro is portable even to
167     obsolete platforms.
168 root 1.202
169 root 1.201 3.4 Fri Jan 19 21:52:54 CET 2007
170 root 1.197 - remove t/09_timer.t, as it isn't really testing much
171     but was rather flaky in practise.
172 root 1.198 - async_pool coro would keep arguments and callback alive until
173     it was reused.
174 root 1.199 - cancellation of a coroutine could cause spurious idle calls
175     in cede_notself.
176 root 1.197
177 root 1.196 3.3 Sat Jan 6 03:45:00 CET 2007
178 root 1.187 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
179 root 1.188 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
180     documented and - hopefully - improved.
181 root 1.184 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
182 root 1.185 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
183 root 1.190 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
184     that could errronously trigger.
185 root 1.192 - fix various large and small memleaks.
186 root 1.191 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
187     that immediately frees the coroutine data.
188 root 1.194 - cede/cede_notself return a status now.
189 root 1.191 - added Coro::guard function.
190 root 1.193 - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine,
191     I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async,
192     and 128k coros with async_pool).
193 root 1.195 - Coro::AIO now uses the coroutine priority as io priority.
194 root 1.184
195 root 1.183 3.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
196 root 1.179 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
197 root 1.180 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
198 root 1.182 - simplify configuration for users.
199     - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
200     their coro replacements.
201 root 1.179
202 root 1.178 3.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006
203     - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even
204     without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should
205     notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :)
206     - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have
207     it. Also noticed by Andreas König :)
208     - save/restore tainted status.
209     - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5.
210    
211 root 1.177 3.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
212     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
213 root 1.175 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
214 root 1.173 - give a better error message on deadlock.
215 root 1.175 - document Coro::nready.
216 root 1.174 - enhanced testsuite.
217 root 1.169
218 root 1.172 3.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006
219     - forgot to include Coro::Timer.
220    
221 root 1.171 3.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
222 root 1.163 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
223     the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
224 root 1.166 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
225     pool (size currently hardcoded).
226 root 1.155 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
227 root 1.157 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
228 root 1.152 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
229 root 1.161 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
230 root 1.167 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
231     check for changed watchers.
232 root 1.170 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
233     per event.
234 root 1.152 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
235 root 1.165 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
236 root 1.164 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
237 root 1.163 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
238     some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
239 root 1.161 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
240     directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
241 root 1.156 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
242 root 1.154 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
243 root 1.153 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
244 root 1.154 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
245     - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
246 root 1.156 - updated to newest libcoro.
247 root 1.159 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
248 root 1.162 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
249 root 1.168 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
250     and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
251     if somebody asks for it :)
252 root 1.163 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
253     spuriously without the event having happened.
254 root 1.146
255 root 1.145 2.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
256 root 1.143 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
257     use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
258 root 1.140 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
259     make LWP non-blocking.
260     - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
261 root 1.141 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
262 root 1.136 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
263     - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
264 root 1.137 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
265     - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
266 root 1.138 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
267     by LWP(!!).
268     - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
269 root 1.140 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
270     kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
271     did already.
272 root 1.135
273 root 1.134 2.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
274     - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
275     zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
276 root 1.132 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
277     (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
278     - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
279 root 1.134 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
280 root 1.132 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
281 root 1.134 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
282 root 1.130
283 root 1.129 2.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
284 root 1.128 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
285    
286 root 1.129 1.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
287    
288 root 1.127 1.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
289 root 1.125 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
290     mark & sweep gc run.
291 root 1.126 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
292 root 1.125
293 root 1.124 1.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
294 root 1.123 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
295 root 1.122 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
296    
297 root 1.119 1.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
298 root 1.117 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
299 root 1.121 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
300 root 1.117 wrong package.
301 root 1.118 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
302     perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
303 root 1.121 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
304     normally uses.
305 root 1.120 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
306 root 1.117
307 root 1.116 1.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
308     - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
309    
310 root 1.115 1.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
311 root 1.114 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
312 root 1.115 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
313     - strict'ify some modules.
314 root 1.112 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
315 root 1.115 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
316     - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
317 root 1.112
318 root 1.111 1.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
319     - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
320     when 'l'inux method was used.
321    
322 root 1.110 1.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
323     - some portability fixes/workarounds.
324    
325 root 1.107 1.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
326 root 1.108 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
327 root 1.106 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
328     Coro::State::flush method.
329 root 1.107 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
330 root 1.106
331 root 1.105 1.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
332 root 1.100 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
333 root 1.101 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
334 root 1.102 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
335 root 1.104 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
336 root 1.105 - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.
337 root 1.100
338 root 1.99 1.11 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
339     - change of contact address.
340    
341 root 1.98 1.1 Tue Feb 22 20:51:16 CET 2005
342 root 1.97 - support [l]inux method on amd64.
343 root 1.109 - allow some context switches while compiling/eval'ing.
344 root 1.97
345 root 1.96 1.0 Tue Aug 10 03:47:27 CEST 2004
346 root 1.95 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
347 root 1.96 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
348     padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
349 root 1.95
350 pcg 1.94 0.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
351     - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
352    
353 pcg 1.93 0.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
354 root 1.103 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
355 pcg 1.91 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
356     as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
357     Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
358     between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
359     fixable).
360 pcg 1.92 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
361 pcg 1.91
362 pcg 1.90 0.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
363 pcg 1.86 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
364     faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
365 pcg 1.87 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
366 pcg 1.88 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
367     observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
368     of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
369     pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
370 pcg 1.89 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
371 pcg 1.90 - fix for threaded perl.
372 pcg 1.86

374 pcg 1.84 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
375     memory leaks.
376     - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
377 pcg 1.85 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
378     hopefully ignoring it "just works".
379 pcg 1.84
380 pcg 1.83 0.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
381     - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
382 pcg 1.82 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
383    
384 root 1.81 0.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
385     - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
386     of new features.
387 root 1.80 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
388     Highly correct stuff, that is...
389 root 1.81 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
390     the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.
391 root 1.80
392 root 1.79 0.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
393 root 1.76 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
394 root 1.78 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
395 root 1.77 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
396     so preselect it.
397 root 1.76
398 root 1.75 0.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
399     - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost

403 root 1.72 - added a README.linux-glibc.
404     - new module Coro::Select.
405     - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
406     (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
407 root 1.73 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
408 root 1.72
409 root 1.71 0.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
410     - made lazy context switching the default.
411     - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
412     was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
413     - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
414     - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
415    
416 root 1.70 0.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
417 root 1.69 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
418 root 1.70 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
419     - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of

421     - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
422     of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
423 root 1.69
424 root 1.68 0.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
425     - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
426     - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
427     could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
428    
429 root 1.67 0.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
430 root 1.66 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
431     (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
432     without Event, which freezes).
433 root 1.65
434 root 1.64 0.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
435 root 1.63 - Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.

438 root 1.60 - some tests for Event.
439 root 1.61 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object

446 root 1.58 - ported to cygwin (trivial).
447     patch by Gerrit P. Haase <gp@familiehaase.de>.
448     - small setjmp code fix by Sullivan.DanielJ@epamail.epa.gov.
449    
450 root 1.64 0.51 Thu Nov 1 20:39:01 CET 2001
451 root 1.54 - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
452     could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
453     error.
454 root 1.55 - added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
455 root 1.56 - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.
456     - implemented terminate with args + join.
457 root 1.54
458 root 1.64 0.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001

461     in various modules.
462     - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
463 root 1.52 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.

465 root 1.47 0.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
466 root 1.43 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
467     inside Coro::Handle.
468 root 1.44 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
469     speed reasons.
470     - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
471     sjlj and ucontext should now work.
472     - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
473 root 1.45 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
474 root 1.46 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.
475     - fixed a bug that caused segfault when returning to main task
476     under some circumstances.
477     - other bugfixes.
478 root 1.43
479 root 1.42 0.45 Sun Sep 2 02:54:01 CEST 2001
480 root 1.36 - new method Coro::Handle::timeout.
481     - corrected speling of set...name to get...name in Coro::Socket.
482     - Coro::Socket::accept now returns a Coro::Socket, not a Coro::Handle.
483     - Coro::Handle now supports fileno and FILENO.
484     - added eg/myhttpd, a web server.
485 root 1.37 - Coro::Socket now accepts numeric ports as well as "port(number)"

491 root 1.36
492 root 1.35 0.13 Wed Aug 8 16:53:07 CEST 2001
493 root 1.31 - new method Coro::Handle::readline.
494 root 1.34 - added eg/lwp and Coro::Handle::autoflush, to make LWP work.
495     (see eg/lwp on how to make LWP non-blocking).
496 root 1.31 - renamed Coro::Socket::new_inet to new.
497 root 1.32 - added Coro::Util, some utility functions.
498 root 1.33 - die/eval now works better (still get annoying (but true ;)
499     "Callback called exit" messages).
500 root 1.34 - Coro::Handle now supports timeout, and Coro::Socket Timeout.
501     - much better Coro::Socket support.
502 root 1.31
503     0.12 Fri Jul 27 04:19:01 CEST 2001
504 root 1.29 - do not use mmap if neither MAP_ANON nor MAP_ANONYMOUS is defined.
505 root 1.34 - very experimental stack sharing algorithm. not 100% safe but
506 root 1.28 should work well in practise ;)
507 root 1.30 - added Coro::RWLock.
508 root 1.31 - Coro::Specific now works.
509 root 1.28
510     0.11 Tue Jul 24 22:49:21 CEST 2001

514    
515 root 1.26 0.1 Tue Jul 24 01:47:53 CEST 2001
516 root 1.23 - release candidate 3. A rather new internal structure :(
517 root 1.24 - the great renaming: Damian Conway gave me a suitable replacement
518     for yield.
519 root 1.23 - added Coro/libcoro, a portable coroutine implementation for C
520 root 1.22 (not even perl-dependent!!!), which can be used by Coro::State.
521 root 1.20 - renamed SAVE_DEFSV (on xs-level only) to avoid symbol clash in
522     perl-5.6.
523 root 1.16 - new function Coro::Event::idle.
524     - the idle process is now overriden
525     by default in Coro::Event.

530 root 1.21 - new module Coro::Event::IO (very undocumented) to do
531     non-blocking i/o.
532 root 1.25 - performance tuning.
533 root 1.16
534 root 1.15 0.08 Thu Jul 19 06:13:25 CEST 2001
535 root 1.14 - release candidate 2 (new functionality).
536 root 1.13 - add Coro::State::flush function.
537     - transfer now supports a flags value (mostly for speed ATM).

540 root 1.19 - no more memleaks.
541 root 1.13
542 root 1.12 0.07 Tue Jul 17 17:40:18 CEST 2001
543     - release candidate 1 ;)
544     - slightly nicer code.
545     - fixed a scheduling bug in Coro::Event.
546    
547 root 1.11 0.06 Tue Jul 17 04:23:24 CEST 2001
548     - ok, I found the showstopper - the same sub must not be
549 root 1.9 re-entered in two different coroutines, otherwise => crash. I
550     see no easy solution to this problem, except by walking the call
551     chaing and saving/restoring the cv's, which is what I do now.
552 root 1.11 - memory leaks still latent, especially at thread termination.
553     - Coro::Event now works (haha).
554 root 1.9
555 root 1.8 0.05 Sun Jul 15 17:32:20 CEST 2001

560 root 1.5 - @_ is now properly localized.
561 root 1.4 - Coro::State is now easier subclassable.
562     - Coro::Cont now coroutine-aware.
563     - Coro::Specific is a low-overhead module to create
564     coroutine-specific vars.
565 root 1.6 - Coro::Event provides a simple interface to Event.
566 root 1.4
567 root 1.3 0.03 Fri Jul 13 14:51:52 CEST 2001
568 root 1.4 - transfer() now implemented in XS (beware).
569     - new module Coro::Cont for really faked continuations.
570     - big internal architecture changes: Coro::State is now
571 root 1.3 really low-level and can thus be used to implement other
572 root 1.4 interesting things, While "Coro::" implements a process-like
573     model. Still crude and subject to change.
574 root 1.3 - $_ and $@ are no longer being localized.
575    
576 root 1.2 0.02 Tue Jul 10 01:38:17 CEST 2001

583     - original version; copied from Convert::Scalar.
