# 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 1.297 - use a conventional (safer) idle callback in Coro::EV.
13 root 1.295
14 root 1.294 4.22 Fri Nov 30 16:04:04 CET 2007
15 root 1.293 - really use optimised versions for Event and EV in Coro::Util
16     and Coro::Handle.
17    
18 root 1.292 4.21 Sun Nov 25 10:48:59 CET 2007
19 root 1.290 - fix a spurious memory read.
20 root 1.291 - Coro::EV no longer keeps the eventloop "alive".
21 root 1.290
22 root 1.289 4.2 Fri Nov 9 20:47:05 CET 2007
23 root 1.282 - enable/disable tracing from a new coroutine, not a pooled one.
24 root 1.283 - fix a memleak in Coro::Event.
25 root 1.284 - removed killall call from fork_eval.
26     - made sure store_fd is already loaded so that fork_eval
27     does not have to parse autoload in each subprocess.
28 root 1.288 - only use assembly method if -O switch is in $Config{optimize}.
29 root 1.289 - add (optional) Coro::EV module, so far the best event loop module
30     directly supported by Coro.
31     - if the event model is EV, use EV::DNS to resolve
32     stuff in Coro::Util.
33 root 1.286 - don't get confused by multiple event notifications in Coro::Handle.
34 root 1.287 - initial support for EV (libevent interface).
35 root 1.289 - require Event and EV using configure_requires, to force their existance.
36 root 1.282
37 root 1.281 4.13 Wed Oct 24 07:26:45 CEST 2007
38 root 1.277 - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw.
39 root 1.278 - use a vastly more complicated technique to localise
40     $SIG{__WARN/DIE__} that also works on perls <= 5.8.8.
41 root 1.279 - use a coroutine for the idle callback Coro::Event,
42     instead of running Event in the current coroutine context.
43     This also catches recursive invocations.
44 root 1.280 - actually report fork errors in gethostbyname and inet_aton.
45 root 1.277
46 root 1.276 4.11 Thu Oct 11 02:40:24 CEST 2007
47     - port to threaded perls.
48    
49 root 1.275 4.1 Thu Oct 11 02:38:16 CEST 2007
50 root 1.264 - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now
51     be local to each coro (see Coro::State).
52 root 1.274 - incompatible change: for very deep reasons, cede and cede_notself
53     cannot return anything, so nothing will be returned.
54 root 1.264 - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested).
55     - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(.
56     - overlay the saved state over the context stack. This saves
57     a few hundred bytes per coroutine on average and also
58     speeds up context switching a bit.
59 root 1.265 - further tune default stack sizes.
60 root 1.264 - (more) correctly calculate stack usage in coro_rss.
61 root 1.267 - Coro::Storable::blocking_* did not properly lock
62     resulting in races between coroutines.
63     - added Coro::Storable::guard.
64 root 1.268 - stopping to trace a coroutine could destroy the cctx of
65     an unrelated coroutine.
66 root 1.269 - explain the relationship between Perl and C coroutines in
67     more detail in Coro::State.
68 root 1.270 - Coro::Util::inet_aton did not short-circuit dotted quad forms,
69     causing a fork per resolve. This also affected Coro::Socket.
70 root 1.272 - switch to a separate stack in $coro->call/eval to avoid
71     invalidating pointers.
72 root 1.264
73 root 1.263 4.03 Sat Oct 6 21:24:00 CEST 2007
74 root 1.262 - added Coro::throw method.
75     - minor code cleanups.
76    
77 root 1.261 4.02 Sat Oct 6 02:36:47 CEST 2007
78 root 1.258 - fix a very minor per-coroutine memleak (a single codereference).
79 root 1.259 - fixed a bug where the currently in-use c context would be freed
80     prematurely (can happen only when programs change the stacksize
81     or use tracing).
82     - tracing can no longer keep a coro alive after it terminated.
83 root 1.260 - do static branch prediction in the common path for gcc. gives
84     about 2-5% speed improvement here.
85 root 1.258
86 root 1.256 4.01 Fri Oct 5 22:10:49 CEST 2007
87 root 1.257 - instead of recreating *a* standard output handle we simply
88     use STDOUT, which is faster and hopefully more robust.
89 root 1.255
90 root 1.254 4.0 Fri Oct 5 12:56:00 CEST 2007
91 root 1.238 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze.
92 root 1.244 - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine
93     debugging, tracing and much more.
94 root 1.252 - major bug fix: unbelievable, but true: $_, $/ and many other
95     "saved" variables actually weren't being saved. This has been fixed,
96     of course, while increasing performance while losing all the save
97     flags.
98 root 1.251 - save flags are gone, and all the api functions dealing with them.
99 root 1.232 - added Coro::Semaphore::adjust.
100 root 1.233 - added Coro::Util::fork_eval.
101     - added Coro::Storable::{nfreeze,blocking_{freeze,nfreeze}}.
102 root 1.248 - added Coro::killall.
103 root 1.236 - reduce initial stack sizes to allow for "micro-coroutines".
104 root 1.239 - better async_pool resource management, moved parts of async_pool
105 root 1.240 handling to XS (major speed improvement).
106 root 1.245 - actually croak before modifying important data structures.
107     - refuse to transfer while compiling.
108     - possibly support eval EXPR better now.
109 root 1.249 - enable assembly per default on linux+bsd x86+amd64.
110 root 1.253 - all internal members were renamed _something for easier subclassing.
111 root 1.237 - many minor tweaks.
112 root 1.232
113 root 1.231 3.63 Wed May 16 14:10:06 CEST 2007
114 root 1.230 - implement handcoded assembly for x86/amd64 SVR ABI.
115    
116 root 1.229 3.62 Fri Apr 27 21:36:06 CEST 2007
117     - upgrade libcoro (which might set unwind info correctly).
118 root 1.228 - change default on linux to setjmp/longjmp.
119 root 1.227
120 root 1.226 3.61 Thu Apr 19 12:36:18 CEST 2007
121 root 1.225 - Coro::Storable caused an endless loop when thawing invalid
122     pst's sometimes.
123 root 1.223 - use a Semaphore in Coro::Storable, as Storable doesn't
124 root 1.224 seem to be reentrant (although it is documented to
125     be threadsafe...).
126     - fix Coro::Signal to bring back the original unreliable
127     but stateful semantics.
128 root 1.226 - fixed a lot of typos in Coro.pm (patch submitted by David
129     Steinbrunner, which applied flawlessly).
130 root 1.223
131     3.6 Sat Apr 14 17:13:31 CEST 2007
132 root 1.217 - added some bugfixes to get eg/myhttpd working again.
133 root 1.218 - added Coro::Storable for often-cede'ing freeze/thaw.
134 root 1.219 - try to do a clean exit when a coroutine calls exit
135     (EXPERIMENTAL).
136 root 1.220 - got rid of indirect call through _coro_init.
137     - updated the partly antique examples in eg/ to
138     work again and be a bit less magic, too.
139     - fixed Coro::Signal semantics to work as documented again.
140 root 1.217
141 root 1.216 3.55 Sun Mar 25 01:20:47 CET 2007
142 root 1.215 - add SAVE_DEFFH to save the default filehandle and enable
143     it by default.
144     - finally move socket-operations from Coro::Socket to Coro::Handle
145     to be able to unblock foreign sockets.
146     - add Coro::State::save_also and guarded_save.
147 root 1.211 - add count accessor to Coro::Semaphore.
148 root 1.212 - add Coro::State::cctx_stacksize.
149 root 1.213 - just for the fun of it, do not rely on implicit context,
150     which can dramatically improve performance, but people
151     using windows-process-emulation perls do not care much about
152     performance.
153 root 1.211
154 root 1.210 3.51 Sun Mar 4 14:18:04 CET 2007
155 root 1.209 - fixed a problem when you weakened references to Coro::State's
156     (patch by Yuval Kogman).
157    
158 root 1.208 3.501 Wed Feb 28 12:44:07 CET 2007
159     - rename some global symbols as macosx from hell redefines
160     them without asking.
161    
162 root 1.207 3.5 Tue Feb 13 20:22:53 CET 2007
163 root 1.204 - do AnyEvent model detection earlier, avoiding problems
164     caused by first using AnyEvent and later Coro::Event.
165 root 1.205 - implement and document Coro::Event event objects.
166     - fix a potential problem in Coro::Event causing crashes.
167 root 1.206 - initialise PL_comppad when creating a new coroutine,
168     avoids crashes on early coro destruction.
169 root 1.204
170 root 1.203 3.41 Mon Jan 22 19:19:49 CET 2007
171 root 1.202 - readline on Coro::Handle did not support undefined $/,
172     nor did it deliver partial lines on EOF or error.
173 root 1.203 - implement malloc fallback for stack allocation because
174     stupid broken idiotic OSX has a stupid broken
175     idiotic fits-the-whole-os mmap "implementation" and
176     my dick feels longer if Coro is portable even to
177     obsolete platforms.
178 root 1.202
179 root 1.201 3.4 Fri Jan 19 21:52:54 CET 2007
180 root 1.197 - remove t/09_timer.t, as it isn't really testing much
181     but was rather flaky in practise.
182 root 1.198 - async_pool coro would keep arguments and callback alive until
183     it was reused.
184 root 1.199 - cancellation of a coroutine could cause spurious idle calls
185     in cede_notself.
186 root 1.197
187 root 1.196 3.3 Sat Jan 6 03:45:00 CET 2007
188 root 1.187 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
189 root 1.188 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
190     documented and - hopefully - improved.
191 root 1.184 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
192 root 1.185 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
193 root 1.190 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
194     that could errronously trigger.
195 root 1.192 - fix various large and small memleaks.
196 root 1.191 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
197     that immediately frees the coroutine data.
198 root 1.194 - cede/cede_notself return a status now.
199 root 1.191 - added Coro::guard function.
200 root 1.193 - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine,
201     I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async,
202     and 128k coros with async_pool).
203 root 1.195 - Coro::AIO now uses the coroutine priority as io priority.
204 root 1.184
205 root 1.183 3.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
206 root 1.179 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
207 root 1.180 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
208 root 1.182 - simplify configuration for users.
209     - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
210     their coro replacements.
211 root 1.179
212 root 1.178 3.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006
213     - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even
214     without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should
215     notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :)
216     - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have
217     it. Also noticed by Andreas König :)
218     - save/restore tainted status.
219     - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5.
220    
221 root 1.177 3.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
222     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
223 root 1.175 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
224 root 1.173 - give a better error message on deadlock.
225 root 1.175 - document Coro::nready.
226 root 1.174 - enhanced testsuite.
227 root 1.169
228 root 1.172 3.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006
229     - forgot to include Coro::Timer.
230    
231 root 1.171 3.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
232 root 1.163 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
233     the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
234 root 1.166 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
235     pool (size currently hardcoded).
236 root 1.155 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
237 root 1.157 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
238 root 1.152 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
239 root 1.161 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
240 root 1.167 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
241     check for changed watchers.
242 root 1.170 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
243     per event.
244 root 1.152 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
245 root 1.165 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
246 root 1.164 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
247 root 1.163 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
248     some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
249 root 1.161 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
250     directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
251 root 1.156 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
252 root 1.154 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
253 root 1.153 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
254 root 1.154 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
255     - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
256 root 1.156 - updated to newest libcoro.
257 root 1.159 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
258 root 1.162 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
259 root 1.168 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
260     and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
261     if somebody asks for it :)
262 root 1.163 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
263     spuriously without the event having happened.
264 root 1.146
265 root 1.145 2.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
266 root 1.143 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
267     use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
268 root 1.140 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
269     make LWP non-blocking.
270     - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
271 root 1.141 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
272 root 1.136 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
273     - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
274 root 1.137 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
275     - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
276 root 1.138 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
277     by LWP(!!).
278     - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
279 root 1.140 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
280     kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
281     did already.
282 root 1.135
283 root 1.134 2.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
284     - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
285     zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
286 root 1.132 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
287     (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
288     - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
289 root 1.134 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
290 root 1.132 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
291 root 1.134 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
292 root 1.130
293 root 1.129 2.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
294 root 1.128 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
295    
296 root 1.129 1.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
297    
298 root 1.127 1.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
299 root 1.125 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
300     mark & sweep gc run.
301 root 1.126 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
302 root 1.125
303 root 1.124 1.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
304 root 1.123 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
305 root 1.122 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
306    
307 root 1.119 1.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
308 root 1.117 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
309 root 1.121 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
310 root 1.117 wrong package.
311 root 1.118 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
312     perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
313 root 1.121 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
314     normally uses.
315 root 1.120 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
316 root 1.117
317 root 1.116 1.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
318     - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
319    
320 root 1.115 1.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
321 root 1.114 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
322 root 1.115 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
323     - strict'ify some modules.
324 root 1.112 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
325 root 1.115 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
326     - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
327 root 1.112
328 root 1.111 1.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
329     - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
330     when 'l'inux method was used.
331

335 root 1.107 1.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
336 root 1.108 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
337 root 1.106 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
338     Coro::State::flush method.
339 root 1.107 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
340 root 1.106
341 root 1.105 1.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
342 root 1.100 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
343 root 1.101 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
344 root 1.102 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.

359 root 1.95
360 pcg 1.94 0.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
361     - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.

363 pcg 1.93 0.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
364 root 1.103 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
365 pcg 1.91 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
366     as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
367     Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
368     between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
369     fixable).
370 pcg 1.92 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
371 pcg 1.91
372 pcg 1.90 0.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
373 pcg 1.86 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
374     faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
375 pcg 1.87 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
376 pcg 1.88 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
377     observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
378     of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
379     pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
380 pcg 1.89 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
381 pcg 1.90 - fix for threaded perl.
382 pcg 1.86
383 pcg 1.85 0.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
384 pcg 1.84 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
385     memory leaks.
386     - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
387 pcg 1.85 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
388     hopefully ignoring it "just works".
389 pcg 1.84
390 pcg 1.83 0.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
391     - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
392 pcg 1.82 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
393    
394 root 1.81 0.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
395     - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
396     of new features.
397 root 1.80 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
398     Highly correct stuff, that is...
399 root 1.81 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
400     the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.
401 root 1.80
402 root 1.79 0.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
403 root 1.76 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
404 root 1.78 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
405 root 1.77 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
406     so preselect it.
407 root 1.76
408 root 1.75 0.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
409     - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost
410     on reading, reported by jason@nichego.net.
411 root 1.74
412 root 1.73 0.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
413 root 1.72 - added a README.linux-glibc.
414     - new module Coro::Select.
415     - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
416     (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
417 root 1.73 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
418 root 1.72
419 root 1.71 0.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
420     - made lazy context switching the default.
421     - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
422     was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
423     - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
424     - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
425    
426 root 1.70 0.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
427 root 1.69 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
428 root 1.70 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
429     - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
430     ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
431     - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
432     of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
433 root 1.69
434 root 1.68 0.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
435     - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
436     - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
437     could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
438    
439 root 1.67 0.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
440 root 1.66 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
441     (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
442     without Event, which freezes).
443 root 1.65
444 root 1.64 0.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
445 root 1.63 - Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.
446    
447 root 1.64 0.53 Tue Nov 27 21:11:13 CET 2001
448 root 1.60 - some tests for Event.
449 root 1.61 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
450     and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
451     new ones.
452     - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
453 root 1.62 - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.
454 root 1.60
455 root 1.64 0.52 Tue Nov 6 21:36:18 CET 2001
456 root 1.58 - ported to cygwin (trivial).
457     patch by Gerrit P. Haase <gp@familiehaase.de>.
458     - small setjmp code fix by Sullivan.DanielJ@epamail.epa.gov.
459    
460 root 1.64 0.51 Thu Nov 1 20:39:01 CET 2001
461 root 1.54 - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
462     could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
463     error.
464 root 1.55 - added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
465 root 1.56 - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.
466     - implemented terminate with args + join.
467 root 1.54
468 root 1.64 0.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001
469 root 1.53 - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.
470 root 1.50 - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
471     in various modules.
472     - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
473 root 1.52 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.
474 root 1.48
475 root 1.47 0.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
476 root 1.43 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
477     inside Coro::Handle.
478 root 1.44 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
479     speed reasons.
480     - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
481     sjlj and ucontext should now work.
482     - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
483 root 1.45 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
484 root 1.46 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.
485     - fixed a bug that caused segfault when returning to main task
486     under some circumstances.
487     - other bugfixes.
488 root 1.43
489 root 1.42 0.45 Sun Sep 2 02:54:01 CEST 2001
490 root 1.36 - new method Coro::Handle::timeout.
491     - corrected speling of set...name to get...name in Coro::Socket.
492     - Coro::Socket::accept now returns a Coro::Socket, not a Coro::Handle.
493     - Coro::Handle now supports fileno and FILENO.
494     - added eg/myhttpd, a web server.
495 root 1.37 - Coro::Socket now accepts numeric ports as well as "port(number)"
496     syntax.
497 root 1.38 - moved some scheduling primitives into xs code. more to come.
498 root 1.39 - new simple priority system.
499 root 1.40 - implemented Coro::Event using XS, almost four times faster!
500 root 1.41 - small memory corruption problem fixed (boy that was difficult).
501 root 1.36
502 root 1.35 0.13 Wed Aug 8 16:53:07 CEST 2001
503 root 1.31 - new method Coro::Handle::readline.
504 root 1.34 - added eg/lwp and Coro::Handle::autoflush, to make LWP work.
505     (see eg/lwp on how to make LWP non-blocking).
506 root 1.31 - renamed Coro::Socket::new_inet to new.
507 root 1.32 - added Coro::Util, some utility functions.
508 root 1.33 - die/eval now works better (still get annoying (but true ;)
509     "Callback called exit" messages).
510 root 1.34 - Coro::Handle now supports timeout, and Coro::Socket Timeout.
511     - much better Coro::Socket support.
512 root 1.31
513     0.12 Fri Jul 27 04:19:01 CEST 2001
514 root 1.29 - do not use mmap if neither MAP_ANON nor MAP_ANONYMOUS is defined.
515 root 1.34 - very experimental stack sharing algorithm. not 100% safe but
516 root 1.28 should work well in practise ;)
517 root 1.30 - added Coro::RWLock.
518 root 1.31 - Coro::Specific now works.
519 root 1.28
520     0.11 Tue Jul 24 22:49:21 CEST 2001

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

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

570 root 1.5 - @_ is now properly localized.
571 root 1.4 - Coro::State is now easier subclassable.
572     - Coro::Cont now coroutine-aware.
573     - Coro::Specific is a low-overhead module to create
574     coroutine-specific vars.
575 root 1.6 - Coro::Event provides a simple interface to Event.
576 root 1.4
577 root 1.3 0.03 Fri Jul 13 14:51:52 CEST 2001
578 root 1.4 - transfer() now implemented in XS (beware).
579     - new module Coro::Cont for really faked continuations.
580     - big internal architecture changes: Coro::State is now
581 root 1.3 really low-level and can thus be used to implement other
582 root 1.4 interesting things, While "Coro::" implements a process-like
583     model. Still crude and subject to change.
584 root 1.3 - $_ and $@ are no longer being localized.
585    
586 root 1.2 0.02 Tue Jul 10 01:38:17 CEST 2001
