# 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 1.295 - do no longer rely on the presence of EV::DNS if EV is used
9     (because it is gone), but instead take avdantage of EV::ADNS
10     if available.
11 root 1.296 - add ($) prototypes to all functions in Coro::Storable.
12 root 1.295
13 root 1.294 4.22 Fri Nov 30 16:04:04 CET 2007
14 root 1.293 - really use optimised versions for Event and EV in Coro::Util
15     and Coro::Handle.
16    
17 root 1.292 4.21 Sun Nov 25 10:48:59 CET 2007
18 root 1.290 - fix a spurious memory read.
19 root 1.291 - Coro::EV no longer keeps the eventloop "alive".
20 root 1.290
21 root 1.289 4.2 Fri Nov 9 20:47:05 CET 2007
22 root 1.282 - enable/disable tracing from a new coroutine, not a pooled one.
23 root 1.283 - fix a memleak in Coro::Event.
24 root 1.284 - removed killall call from fork_eval.
25     - made sure store_fd is already loaded so that fork_eval
26     does not have to parse autoload in each subprocess.
27 root 1.288 - only use assembly method if -O switch is in $Config{optimize}.
28 root 1.289 - add (optional) Coro::EV module, so far the best event loop module
29     directly supported by Coro.
30     - if the event model is EV, use EV::DNS to resolve
31     stuff in Coro::Util.
32 root 1.286 - don't get confused by multiple event notifications in Coro::Handle.
33 root 1.287 - initial support for EV (libevent interface).
34 root 1.289 - require Event and EV using configure_requires, to force their existance.
35 root 1.282
36 root 1.281 4.13 Wed Oct 24 07:26:45 CEST 2007
37 root 1.277 - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw.
38 root 1.278 - use a vastly more complicated technique to localise
39     $SIG{__WARN/DIE__} that also works on perls <= 5.8.8.
40 root 1.279 - use a coroutine for the idle callback Coro::Event,
41     instead of running Event in the current coroutine context.
42     This also catches recursive invocations.
43 root 1.280 - actually report fork errors in gethostbyname and inet_aton.
44 root 1.277
45 root 1.276 4.11 Thu Oct 11 02:40:24 CEST 2007
46     - port to threaded perls.
47    
48 root 1.275 4.1 Thu Oct 11 02:38:16 CEST 2007
49 root 1.264 - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now
50     be local to each coro (see Coro::State).
51 root 1.274 - incompatible change: for very deep reasons, cede and cede_notself
52     cannot return anything, so nothing will be returned.
53 root 1.264 - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested).
54     - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(.
55     - overlay the saved state over the context stack. This saves
56     a few hundred bytes per coroutine on average and also
57     speeds up context switching a bit.
58 root 1.265 - further tune default stack sizes.
59 root 1.264 - (more) correctly calculate stack usage in coro_rss.
60 root 1.267 - Coro::Storable::blocking_* did not properly lock
61     resulting in races between coroutines.
62     - added Coro::Storable::guard.
63 root 1.268 - stopping to trace a coroutine could destroy the cctx of
64     an unrelated coroutine.
65 root 1.269 - explain the relationship between Perl and C coroutines in
66     more detail in Coro::State.
67 root 1.270 - Coro::Util::inet_aton did not short-circuit dotted quad forms,
68     causing a fork per resolve. This also affected Coro::Socket.
69 root 1.272 - switch to a separate stack in $coro->call/eval to avoid
70     invalidating pointers.
71 root 1.264
72 root 1.263 4.03 Sat Oct 6 21:24:00 CEST 2007
73 root 1.262 - added Coro::throw method.
74     - minor code cleanups.
75    
76 root 1.261 4.02 Sat Oct 6 02:36:47 CEST 2007
77 root 1.258 - fix a very minor per-coroutine memleak (a single codereference).
78 root 1.259 - fixed a bug where the currently in-use c context would be freed
79     prematurely (can happen only when programs change the stacksize
80     or use tracing).
81     - tracing can no longer keep a coro alive after it terminated.
82 root 1.260 - do static branch prediction in the common path for gcc. gives
83     about 2-5% speed improvement here.
84 root 1.258
85 root 1.256 4.01 Fri Oct 5 22:10:49 CEST 2007
86 root 1.257 - instead of recreating *a* standard output handle we simply
87     use STDOUT, which is faster and hopefully more robust.
88 root 1.255
89 root 1.254 4.0 Fri Oct 5 12:56:00 CEST 2007
90 root 1.238 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze.
91 root 1.244 - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine
92     debugging, tracing and much more.
93 root 1.252 - major bug fix: unbelievable, but true: $_, $/ and many other
94     "saved" variables actually weren't being saved. This has been fixed,
95     of course, while increasing performance while losing all the save
96     flags.
97 root 1.251 - save flags are gone, and all the api functions dealing with them.
98 root 1.232 - added Coro::Semaphore::adjust.
99 root 1.233 - added Coro::Util::fork_eval.
100     - added Coro::Storable::{nfreeze,blocking_{freeze,nfreeze}}.
101 root 1.248 - added Coro::killall.
102 root 1.236 - reduce initial stack sizes to allow for "micro-coroutines".
103 root 1.239 - better async_pool resource management, moved parts of async_pool
104 root 1.240 handling to XS (major speed improvement).
105 root 1.245 - actually croak before modifying important data structures.
106     - refuse to transfer while compiling.
107     - possibly support eval EXPR better now.
108 root 1.249 - enable assembly per default on linux+bsd x86+amd64.
109 root 1.253 - all internal members were renamed _something for easier subclassing.
110 root 1.237 - many minor tweaks.
111 root 1.232
112 root 1.231 3.63 Wed May 16 14:10:06 CEST 2007
113 root 1.230 - implement handcoded assembly for x86/amd64 SVR ABI.
114    
115 root 1.229 3.62 Fri Apr 27 21:36:06 CEST 2007
116     - upgrade libcoro (which might set unwind info correctly).
117 root 1.228 - change default on linux to setjmp/longjmp.
118 root 1.227
119 root 1.226 3.61 Thu Apr 19 12:36:18 CEST 2007
120 root 1.225 - Coro::Storable caused an endless loop when thawing invalid
121     pst's sometimes.
122 root 1.223 - use a Semaphore in Coro::Storable, as Storable doesn't
123 root 1.224 seem to be reentrant (although it is documented to
124     be threadsafe...).
125     - fix Coro::Signal to bring back the original unreliable
126     but stateful semantics.
127 root 1.226 - fixed a lot of typos in Coro.pm (patch submitted by David
128     Steinbrunner, which applied flawlessly).
129 root 1.223
130     3.6 Sat Apr 14 17:13:31 CEST 2007
131 root 1.217 - added some bugfixes to get eg/myhttpd working again.
132 root 1.218 - added Coro::Storable for often-cede'ing freeze/thaw.
133 root 1.219 - try to do a clean exit when a coroutine calls exit
134     (EXPERIMENTAL).
135 root 1.220 - got rid of indirect call through _coro_init.
136     - updated the partly antique examples in eg/ to
137     work again and be a bit less magic, too.
138     - fixed Coro::Signal semantics to work as documented again.
139 root 1.217
140 root 1.216 3.55 Sun Mar 25 01:20:47 CET 2007
141 root 1.215 - add SAVE_DEFFH to save the default filehandle and enable
142     it by default.
143     - finally move socket-operations from Coro::Socket to Coro::Handle
144     to be able to unblock foreign sockets.
145     - add Coro::State::save_also and guarded_save.
146 root 1.211 - add count accessor to Coro::Semaphore.
147 root 1.212 - add Coro::State::cctx_stacksize.
148 root 1.213 - just for the fun of it, do not rely on implicit context,
149     which can dramatically improve performance, but people
150     using windows-process-emulation perls do not care much about
151     performance.
152 root 1.211
153 root 1.210 3.51 Sun Mar 4 14:18:04 CET 2007
154 root 1.209 - fixed a problem when you weakened references to Coro::State's
155     (patch by Yuval Kogman).
156    
157 root 1.208 3.501 Wed Feb 28 12:44:07 CET 2007
158     - rename some global symbols as macosx from hell redefines
159     them without asking.
160    
161 root 1.207 3.5 Tue Feb 13 20:22:53 CET 2007
162 root 1.204 - do AnyEvent model detection earlier, avoiding problems
163     caused by first using AnyEvent and later Coro::Event.
164 root 1.205 - implement and document Coro::Event event objects.
165     - fix a potential problem in Coro::Event causing crashes.
166 root 1.206 - initialise PL_comppad when creating a new coroutine,
167     avoids crashes on early coro destruction.
168 root 1.204
169 root 1.203 3.41 Mon Jan 22 19:19:49 CET 2007
170 root 1.202 - readline on Coro::Handle did not support undefined $/,
171     nor did it deliver partial lines on EOF or error.
172 root 1.203 - implement malloc fallback for stack allocation because
173     stupid broken idiotic OSX has a stupid broken
174     idiotic fits-the-whole-os mmap "implementation" and
175     my dick feels longer if Coro is portable even to
176     obsolete platforms.
177 root 1.202
178 root 1.201 3.4 Fri Jan 19 21:52:54 CET 2007
179 root 1.197 - remove t/09_timer.t, as it isn't really testing much
180     but was rather flaky in practise.
181 root 1.198 - async_pool coro would keep arguments and callback alive until
182     it was reused.
183 root 1.199 - cancellation of a coroutine could cause spurious idle calls
184     in cede_notself.
185 root 1.197
186 root 1.196 3.3 Sat Jan 6 03:45:00 CET 2007
187 root 1.187 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
188 root 1.188 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
189     documented and - hopefully - improved.
190 root 1.184 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
191 root 1.185 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
192 root 1.190 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
193     that could errronously trigger.
194 root 1.192 - fix various large and small memleaks.
195 root 1.191 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
196     that immediately frees the coroutine data.
197 root 1.194 - cede/cede_notself return a status now.
198 root 1.191 - added Coro::guard function.
199 root 1.193 - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine,
200     I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async,
201     and 128k coros with async_pool).
202 root 1.195 - Coro::AIO now uses the coroutine priority as io priority.
203 root 1.184
204 root 1.183 3.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
205 root 1.179 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
206 root 1.180 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
207 root 1.182 - simplify configuration for users.
208     - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
209     their coro replacements.
210 root 1.179
211 root 1.178 3.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006
212     - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even
213     without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should
214     notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :)
215     - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have
216     it. Also noticed by Andreas König :)
217     - save/restore tainted status.
218     - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5.
219    
220 root 1.177 3.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
221     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
222 root 1.175 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
223 root 1.173 - give a better error message on deadlock.
224 root 1.175 - document Coro::nready.
225 root 1.174 - enhanced testsuite.
226 root 1.169
227 root 1.172 3.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006

229    
230 root 1.171 3.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
231 root 1.163 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
232     the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
233 root 1.166 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
234     pool (size currently hardcoded).
235 root 1.155 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
236 root 1.157 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
237 root 1.152 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
238 root 1.161 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
239 root 1.167 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
240     check for changed watchers.
241 root 1.170 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
242     per event.
243 root 1.152 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
244 root 1.165 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
245 root 1.164 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
246 root 1.163 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
247     some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
248 root 1.161 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
249     directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
250 root 1.156 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
251 root 1.154 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
252 root 1.153 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
253 root 1.154 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
254     - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
255 root 1.156 - updated to newest libcoro.
256 root 1.159 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
257 root 1.162 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
258 root 1.168 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
259     and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
260     if somebody asks for it :)
261 root 1.163 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
262     spuriously without the event having happened.
263 root 1.146
264 root 1.145 2.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
265 root 1.143 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
266     use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
267 root 1.140 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
268     make LWP non-blocking.
269     - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
270 root 1.141 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
271 root 1.136 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
272     - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
273 root 1.137 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
274     - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
275 root 1.138 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
276     by LWP(!!).
277     - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
278 root 1.140 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
279     kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
280     did already.
281 root 1.135
282 root 1.134 2.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
283     - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
284     zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
285 root 1.132 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
286     (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
287     - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
288 root 1.134 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
289 root 1.132 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
290 root 1.134 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
291 root 1.130
292 root 1.129 2.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
293 root 1.128 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
294    
295 root 1.129 1.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
296    
297 root 1.127 1.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
298 root 1.125 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
299     mark & sweep gc run.
300 root 1.126 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
301 root 1.125
302 root 1.124 1.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
303 root 1.123 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
304 root 1.122 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
305    
306 root 1.119 1.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
307 root 1.117 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
308 root 1.121 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
309 root 1.117 wrong package.
310 root 1.118 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
311     perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
312 root 1.121 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
313     normally uses.
314 root 1.120 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
315 root 1.117
316 root 1.116 1.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
317     - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
318    
319 root 1.115 1.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
320 root 1.114 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
321 root 1.115 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
322     - strict'ify some modules.
323 root 1.112 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
324 root 1.115 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
325     - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
326 root 1.112
327 root 1.111 1.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
328     - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
329     when 'l'inux method was used.

335 root 1.108 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
336 root 1.106 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
337     Coro::State::flush method.
338 root 1.107 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
339 root 1.106
340 root 1.105 1.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
341 root 1.100 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
342 root 1.101 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
343 root 1.102 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.

362 pcg 1.93 0.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
363 root 1.103 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
364 pcg 1.91 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
365     as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
366     Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
367     between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
368     fixable).
369 pcg 1.92 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
370 pcg 1.91
371 pcg 1.90 0.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
372 pcg 1.86 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
373     faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
374 pcg 1.87 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
375 pcg 1.88 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
376     observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
377     of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
378     pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
379 pcg 1.89 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
380 pcg 1.90 - fix for threaded perl.
381 pcg 1.86
382 pcg 1.85 0.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
383 pcg 1.84 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
384     memory leaks.
385     - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
386 pcg 1.85 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
387     hopefully ignoring it "just works".
388 pcg 1.84
389 pcg 1.83 0.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
390     - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
391 pcg 1.82 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
392    
393 root 1.81 0.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
394     - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
395     of new features.
396 root 1.80 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
397     Highly correct stuff, that is...
398 root 1.81 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
399     the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.
400 root 1.80
401 root 1.79 0.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
402 root 1.76 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
403 root 1.78 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
404 root 1.77 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
405     so preselect it.
406 root 1.76
407 root 1.75 0.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
408     - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost
409     on reading, reported by jason@nichego.net.
410 root 1.74
411 root 1.73 0.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
412 root 1.72 - added a README.linux-glibc.
413     - new module Coro::Select.
414     - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
415     (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
416 root 1.73 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
417 root 1.72
418 root 1.71 0.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
419     - made lazy context switching the default.
420     - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
421     was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
422     - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
423     - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
424    
425 root 1.70 0.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
426 root 1.69 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
427 root 1.70 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
428     - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
429     ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
430     - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
431     of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
432 root 1.69
433 root 1.68 0.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
434     - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
435     - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
436     could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
437    
438 root 1.67 0.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
439 root 1.66 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
440     (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
441     without Event, which freezes).
442 root 1.65
443 root 1.64 0.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
444 root 1.63 - Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.
445    
446 root 1.64 0.53 Tue Nov 27 21:11:13 CET 2001
447 root 1.60 - some tests for Event.
448 root 1.61 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
449     and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
450     new ones.
451     - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
452 root 1.62 - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.
453 root 1.60
454 root 1.64 0.52 Tue Nov 6 21:36:18 CET 2001
455 root 1.58 - ported to cygwin (trivial).
456     patch by Gerrit P. Haase <gp@familiehaase.de>.
457     - small setjmp code fix by Sullivan.DanielJ@epamail.epa.gov.
458    
459 root 1.64 0.51 Thu Nov 1 20:39:01 CET 2001
460 root 1.54 - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
461     could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
462     error.
463 root 1.55 - added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
464 root 1.56 - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.
465     - implemented terminate with args + join.
466 root 1.54
467 root 1.64 0.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001
468 root 1.53 - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.
469 root 1.50 - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
470     in various modules.
471     - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
472 root 1.52 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.
473 root 1.48
474 root 1.47 0.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
475 root 1.43 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
476     inside Coro::Handle.
477 root 1.44 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
478     speed reasons.
479     - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
480     sjlj and ucontext should now work.
481     - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
482 root 1.45 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
483 root 1.46 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.
484     - fixed a bug that caused segfault when returning to main task
485     under some circumstances.
486     - other bugfixes.
487 root 1.43
488 root 1.42 0.45 Sun Sep 2 02:54:01 CEST 2001
489 root 1.36 - new method Coro::Handle::timeout.
490     - corrected speling of set...name to get...name in Coro::Socket.
491     - Coro::Socket::accept now returns a Coro::Socket, not a Coro::Handle.
492     - Coro::Handle now supports fileno and FILENO.
493     - added eg/myhttpd, a web server.
494 root 1.37 - Coro::Socket now accepts numeric ports as well as "port(number)"
495     syntax.
496 root 1.38 - moved some scheduling primitives into xs code. more to come.
497 root 1.39 - new simple priority system.
498 root 1.40 - implemented Coro::Event using XS, almost four times faster!
499 root 1.41 - small memory corruption problem fixed (boy that was difficult).
500 root 1.36
501 root 1.35 0.13 Wed Aug 8 16:53:07 CEST 2001
502 root 1.31 - new method Coro::Handle::readline.
503 root 1.34 - added eg/lwp and Coro::Handle::autoflush, to make LWP work.
504     (see eg/lwp on how to make LWP non-blocking).
505 root 1.31 - renamed Coro::Socket::new_inet to new.
506 root 1.32 - added Coro::Util, some utility functions.
507 root 1.33 - die/eval now works better (still get annoying (but true ;)
508     "Callback called exit" messages).
509 root 1.34 - Coro::Handle now supports timeout, and Coro::Socket Timeout.
510     - much better Coro::Socket support.
511 root 1.31
512     0.12 Fri Jul 27 04:19:01 CEST 2001
513 root 1.29 - do not use mmap if neither MAP_ANON nor MAP_ANONYMOUS is defined.
514 root 1.34 - very experimental stack sharing algorithm. not 100% safe but
515 root 1.28 should work well in practise ;)
516 root 1.30 - added Coro::RWLock.
517 root 1.31 - Coro::Specific now works.
518 root 1.28
519     0.11 Tue Jul 24 22:49:21 CEST 2001

523    
524 root 1.26 0.1 Tue Jul 24 01:47:53 CEST 2001
525 root 1.23 - release candidate 3. A rather new internal structure :(
526 root 1.24 - the great renaming: Damian Conway gave me a suitable replacement
527     for yield.
528 root 1.23 - added Coro/libcoro, a portable coroutine implementation for C
529 root 1.22 (not even perl-dependent!!!), which can be used by Coro::State.
530 root 1.20 - renamed SAVE_DEFSV (on xs-level only) to avoid symbol clash in
531     perl-5.6.
532 root 1.16 - new function Coro::Event::idle.
533     - the idle process is now overriden
534     by default in Coro::Event.
535 root 1.17 - Coro::Channel now enforces the size.
536 root 1.18 - canceling events now works in all cases.
537 root 1.19 - Coro state now include $_ and $@.

539 root 1.21 - new module Coro::Event::IO (very undocumented) to do
540     non-blocking i/o.
541 root 1.25 - performance tuning.
542 root 1.16
543 root 1.15 0.08 Thu Jul 19 06:13:25 CEST 2001
544 root 1.14 - release candidate 2 (new functionality).
545 root 1.13 - add Coro::State::flush function.
546     - transfer now supports a flags value (mostly for speed ATM).
547     - might compile and work in the presence of threads now.
548 root 1.14 - continuations have a saner syntax.
549 root 1.19 - no more memleaks.
550 root 1.13
551 root 1.12 0.07 Tue Jul 17 17:40:18 CEST 2001
552     - release candidate 1 ;)
553     - slightly nicer code.
554     - fixed a scheduling bug in Coro::Event.
555    
556 root 1.11 0.06 Tue Jul 17 04:23:24 CEST 2001
557     - ok, I found the showstopper - the same sub must not be
558 root 1.9 re-entered in two different coroutines, otherwise => crash. I
559     see no easy solution to this problem, except by walking the call
560     chaing and saving/restoring the cv's, which is what I do now.
561 root 1.11 - memory leaks still latent, especially at thread termination.
562     - Coro::Event now works (haha).
563 root 1.9
564 root 1.8 0.05 Sun Jul 15 17:32:20 CEST 2001
565     - fixed a few issues in Coro::Event.

570 root 1.4 - Coro::State is now easier subclassable.
571     - Coro::Cont now coroutine-aware.
572     - Coro::Specific is a low-overhead module to create
573     coroutine-specific vars.
574 root 1.6 - Coro::Event provides a simple interface to Event.
575 root 1.4
576 root 1.3 0.03 Fri Jul 13 14:51:52 CEST 2001
577 root 1.4 - transfer() now implemented in XS (beware).
578     - new module Coro::Cont for really faked continuations.
579     - big internal architecture changes: Coro::State is now
580 root 1.3 really low-level and can thus be used to implement other
581 root 1.4 interesting things, While "Coro::" implements a process-like
582     model. Still crude and subject to change.
583 root 1.3 - $_ and $@ are no longer being localized.
584    
585 root 1.2 0.02 Tue Jul 10 01:38:17 CEST 2001
