# 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 1.301 - majorly improved Coro::Handle's performance with Coro::EV.
9    
10 root 1.300 4.31 Wed Dec 5 12:32:39 CET 2007
11     - remove warn statement form Coro::Util.
12    
13 root 1.299 4.3 Tue Dec 4 20:33:14 CET 2007
14     - calls to the idle function could cause stack corruption
15     when the stack changed.
16 root 1.295 - do no longer rely on the presence of EV::DNS if EV is used
17     (because it is gone), but instead take avdantage of EV::ADNS
18     if available.
19 root 1.296 - add ($) prototypes to all functions in Coro::Storable.
20 root 1.297 - use a conventional (safer) idle callback in Coro::EV.
21 root 1.298 - do accept quickly in Coro::Debug to avoid endless loops.
22 root 1.295
23 root 1.294 4.22 Fri Nov 30 16:04:04 CET 2007
24 root 1.293 - really use optimised versions for Event and EV in Coro::Util
25     and Coro::Handle.
26    
27 root 1.292 4.21 Sun Nov 25 10:48:59 CET 2007
28 root 1.290 - fix a spurious memory read.
29 root 1.291 - Coro::EV no longer keeps the eventloop "alive".
30 root 1.290
31 root 1.289 4.2 Fri Nov 9 20:47:05 CET 2007
32 root 1.282 - enable/disable tracing from a new coroutine, not a pooled one.
33 root 1.283 - fix a memleak in Coro::Event.
34 root 1.284 - removed killall call from fork_eval.
35     - made sure store_fd is already loaded so that fork_eval
36     does not have to parse autoload in each subprocess.
37 root 1.288 - only use assembly method if -O switch is in $Config{optimize}.
38 root 1.289 - add (optional) Coro::EV module, so far the best event loop module
39     directly supported by Coro.
40     - if the event model is EV, use EV::DNS to resolve
41     stuff in Coro::Util.
42 root 1.286 - don't get confused by multiple event notifications in Coro::Handle.
43 root 1.287 - initial support for EV (libevent interface).
44 root 1.289 - require Event and EV using configure_requires, to force their existance.
45 root 1.282
46 root 1.281 4.13 Wed Oct 24 07:26:45 CEST 2007
47 root 1.277 - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw.
48 root 1.278 - use a vastly more complicated technique to localise
49     $SIG{__WARN/DIE__} that also works on perls <= 5.8.8.
50 root 1.279 - use a coroutine for the idle callback Coro::Event,
51     instead of running Event in the current coroutine context.
52     This also catches recursive invocations.
53 root 1.280 - actually report fork errors in gethostbyname and inet_aton.
54 root 1.277
55 root 1.276 4.11 Thu Oct 11 02:40:24 CEST 2007
56     - port to threaded perls.
57    
58 root 1.275 4.1 Thu Oct 11 02:38:16 CEST 2007
59 root 1.264 - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now
60     be local to each coro (see Coro::State).
61 root 1.274 - incompatible change: for very deep reasons, cede and cede_notself
62     cannot return anything, so nothing will be returned.
63 root 1.264 - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested).
64     - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(.
65     - overlay the saved state over the context stack. This saves
66     a few hundred bytes per coroutine on average and also
67     speeds up context switching a bit.
68 root 1.265 - further tune default stack sizes.
69 root 1.264 - (more) correctly calculate stack usage in coro_rss.
70 root 1.267 - Coro::Storable::blocking_* did not properly lock
71     resulting in races between coroutines.
72     - added Coro::Storable::guard.
73 root 1.268 - stopping to trace a coroutine could destroy the cctx of
74     an unrelated coroutine.
75 root 1.269 - explain the relationship between Perl and C coroutines in
76     more detail in Coro::State.
77 root 1.270 - Coro::Util::inet_aton did not short-circuit dotted quad forms,
78     causing a fork per resolve. This also affected Coro::Socket.
79 root 1.272 - switch to a separate stack in $coro->call/eval to avoid
80     invalidating pointers.
81 root 1.264
82 root 1.263 4.03 Sat Oct 6 21:24:00 CEST 2007
83 root 1.262 - added Coro::throw method.
84     - minor code cleanups.
85    
86 root 1.261 4.02 Sat Oct 6 02:36:47 CEST 2007
87 root 1.258 - fix a very minor per-coroutine memleak (a single codereference).
88 root 1.259 - fixed a bug where the currently in-use c context would be freed
89     prematurely (can happen only when programs change the stacksize
90     or use tracing).
91     - tracing can no longer keep a coro alive after it terminated.
92 root 1.260 - do static branch prediction in the common path for gcc. gives
93     about 2-5% speed improvement here.
94 root 1.258
95 root 1.256 4.01 Fri Oct 5 22:10:49 CEST 2007
96 root 1.257 - instead of recreating *a* standard output handle we simply
97     use STDOUT, which is faster and hopefully more robust.
98 root 1.255
99 root 1.254 4.0 Fri Oct 5 12:56:00 CEST 2007
100 root 1.238 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze.
101 root 1.244 - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine
102     debugging, tracing and much more.
103 root 1.252 - major bug fix: unbelievable, but true: $_, $/ and many other
104     "saved" variables actually weren't being saved. This has been fixed,
105     of course, while increasing performance while losing all the save
106     flags.
107 root 1.251 - save flags are gone, and all the api functions dealing with them.
108 root 1.232 - added Coro::Semaphore::adjust.
109 root 1.233 - added Coro::Util::fork_eval.
110     - added Coro::Storable::{nfreeze,blocking_{freeze,nfreeze}}.
111 root 1.248 - added Coro::killall.
112 root 1.236 - reduce initial stack sizes to allow for "micro-coroutines".
113 root 1.239 - better async_pool resource management, moved parts of async_pool
114 root 1.240 handling to XS (major speed improvement).
115 root 1.245 - actually croak before modifying important data structures.
116     - refuse to transfer while compiling.
117     - possibly support eval EXPR better now.
118 root 1.249 - enable assembly per default on linux+bsd x86+amd64.
119 root 1.253 - all internal members were renamed _something for easier subclassing.
120 root 1.237 - many minor tweaks.
121 root 1.232
122 root 1.231 3.63 Wed May 16 14:10:06 CEST 2007
123 root 1.230 - implement handcoded assembly for x86/amd64 SVR ABI.
124    
125 root 1.229 3.62 Fri Apr 27 21:36:06 CEST 2007
126     - upgrade libcoro (which might set unwind info correctly).
127 root 1.228 - change default on linux to setjmp/longjmp.
128 root 1.227
129 root 1.226 3.61 Thu Apr 19 12:36:18 CEST 2007
130 root 1.225 - Coro::Storable caused an endless loop when thawing invalid
131     pst's sometimes.
132 root 1.223 - use a Semaphore in Coro::Storable, as Storable doesn't
133 root 1.224 seem to be reentrant (although it is documented to
134     be threadsafe...).
135     - fix Coro::Signal to bring back the original unreliable
136     but stateful semantics.
137 root 1.226 - fixed a lot of typos in Coro.pm (patch submitted by David
138     Steinbrunner, which applied flawlessly).
139 root 1.223
140     3.6 Sat Apr 14 17:13:31 CEST 2007
141 root 1.217 - added some bugfixes to get eg/myhttpd working again.
142 root 1.218 - added Coro::Storable for often-cede'ing freeze/thaw.
143 root 1.219 - try to do a clean exit when a coroutine calls exit
144     (EXPERIMENTAL).
145 root 1.220 - got rid of indirect call through _coro_init.
146     - updated the partly antique examples in eg/ to
147     work again and be a bit less magic, too.
148     - fixed Coro::Signal semantics to work as documented again.
149 root 1.217
150 root 1.216 3.55 Sun Mar 25 01:20:47 CET 2007
151 root 1.215 - add SAVE_DEFFH to save the default filehandle and enable
152     it by default.
153     - finally move socket-operations from Coro::Socket to Coro::Handle
154     to be able to unblock foreign sockets.
155     - add Coro::State::save_also and guarded_save.
156 root 1.211 - add count accessor to Coro::Semaphore.
157 root 1.212 - add Coro::State::cctx_stacksize.
158 root 1.213 - just for the fun of it, do not rely on implicit context,
159     which can dramatically improve performance, but people
160     using windows-process-emulation perls do not care much about
161     performance.
162 root 1.211
163 root 1.210 3.51 Sun Mar 4 14:18:04 CET 2007
164 root 1.209 - fixed a problem when you weakened references to Coro::State's
165     (patch by Yuval Kogman).
166    
167 root 1.208 3.501 Wed Feb 28 12:44:07 CET 2007
168     - rename some global symbols as macosx from hell redefines
169     them without asking.
170    
171 root 1.207 3.5 Tue Feb 13 20:22:53 CET 2007
172 root 1.204 - do AnyEvent model detection earlier, avoiding problems
173     caused by first using AnyEvent and later Coro::Event.
174 root 1.205 - implement and document Coro::Event event objects.
175     - fix a potential problem in Coro::Event causing crashes.
176 root 1.206 - initialise PL_comppad when creating a new coroutine,
177     avoids crashes on early coro destruction.
178 root 1.204
179 root 1.203 3.41 Mon Jan 22 19:19:49 CET 2007
180 root 1.202 - readline on Coro::Handle did not support undefined $/,
181     nor did it deliver partial lines on EOF or error.
182 root 1.203 - implement malloc fallback for stack allocation because
183     stupid broken idiotic OSX has a stupid broken
184     idiotic fits-the-whole-os mmap "implementation" and
185     my dick feels longer if Coro is portable even to
186     obsolete platforms.
187 root 1.202
188 root 1.201 3.4 Fri Jan 19 21:52:54 CET 2007
189 root 1.197 - remove t/09_timer.t, as it isn't really testing much
190     but was rather flaky in practise.
191 root 1.198 - async_pool coro would keep arguments and callback alive until
192     it was reused.
193 root 1.199 - cancellation of a coroutine could cause spurious idle calls
194     in cede_notself.
195 root 1.197
196 root 1.196 3.3 Sat Jan 6 03:45:00 CET 2007
197 root 1.187 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
198 root 1.188 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
199     documented and - hopefully - improved.
200 root 1.184 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
201 root 1.185 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
202 root 1.190 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
203     that could errronously trigger.
204 root 1.192 - fix various large and small memleaks.
205 root 1.191 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
206     that immediately frees the coroutine data.
207 root 1.194 - cede/cede_notself return a status now.
208 root 1.191 - added Coro::guard function.
209 root 1.193 - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine,
210     I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async,
211     and 128k coros with async_pool).
212 root 1.195 - Coro::AIO now uses the coroutine priority as io priority.
213 root 1.184
214 root 1.183 3.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
215 root 1.179 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
216 root 1.180 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
217 root 1.182 - simplify configuration for users.
218     - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
219     their coro replacements.
220 root 1.179
221 root 1.178 3.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006
222     - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even
223     without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should
224     notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :)
225     - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have
226     it. Also noticed by Andreas König :)
227     - save/restore tainted status.
228     - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5.
229    
230 root 1.177 3.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
231     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
232 root 1.175 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
233 root 1.173 - give a better error message on deadlock.
234 root 1.175 - document Coro::nready.
235 root 1.174 - enhanced testsuite.
236 root 1.169
237 root 1.172 3.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006

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

328    
329 root 1.115 1.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
330 root 1.114 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
331 root 1.115 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
332     - strict'ify some modules.
333 root 1.112 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
334 root 1.115 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
335     - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
336 root 1.112
337 root 1.111 1.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
338     - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
339     when 'l'inux method was used.

345 root 1.108 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
346 root 1.106 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
347     Coro::State::flush method.
348 root 1.107 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
349 root 1.106
350 root 1.105 1.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
351 root 1.100 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
352 root 1.101 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.

365 root 1.95 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
366 root 1.96 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
367     padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
368 root 1.95
369 pcg 1.94 0.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
370     - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
371    
372 pcg 1.93 0.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
373 root 1.103 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
374 pcg 1.91 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
375     as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
376     Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
377     between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
378     fixable).
379 pcg 1.92 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
380 pcg 1.91
381 pcg 1.90 0.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
382 pcg 1.86 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
383     faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
384 pcg 1.87 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
385 pcg 1.88 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
386     observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
387     of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
388     pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
389 pcg 1.89 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
390 pcg 1.90 - fix for threaded perl.
391 pcg 1.86
392 pcg 1.85 0.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
393 pcg 1.84 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
394     memory leaks.
395     - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
396 pcg 1.85 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
397     hopefully ignoring it "just works".
398 pcg 1.84
399 pcg 1.83 0.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
400     - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
401 pcg 1.82 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
402    
403 root 1.81 0.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
404     - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
405     of new features.
406 root 1.80 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
407     Highly correct stuff, that is...
408 root 1.81 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
409     the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.
410 root 1.80
411 root 1.79 0.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
412 root 1.76 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
413 root 1.78 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
414 root 1.77 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
415     so preselect it.
416 root 1.76
417 root 1.75 0.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003

422 root 1.72 - added a README.linux-glibc.
423     - new module Coro::Select.
424     - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.

426 root 1.73 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
427 root 1.72
428 root 1.71 0.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
429     - made lazy context switching the default.
430     - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
431     was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
432     - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
433     - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
434    
435 root 1.70 0.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
436 root 1.69 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
437 root 1.70 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
438     - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
439     ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
440     - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
441     of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
442 root 1.69
443 root 1.68 0.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
444     - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
445     - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
446     could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
447    
448 root 1.67 0.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
449 root 1.66 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
450     (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
451     without Event, which freezes).
452 root 1.65
453 root 1.64 0.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001

457 root 1.60 - some tests for Event.
458 root 1.61 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
459     and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
460     new ones.
461     - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
462 root 1.62 - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.
463 root 1.60
464 root 1.64 0.52 Tue Nov 6 21:36:18 CET 2001

466     patch by Gerrit P. Haase <gp@familiehaase.de>.

472     error.
473 root 1.55 - added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
474 root 1.56 - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.

477 root 1.64 0.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001

484 root 1.47 0.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
485 root 1.43 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
486     inside Coro::Handle.
487 root 1.44 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
488     speed reasons.
489     - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
490     sjlj and ucontext should now work.
491     - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
492 root 1.45 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
493 root 1.46 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.

495     under some circumstances.

498 root 1.42 0.45 Sun Sep 2 02:54:01 CEST 2001
499 root 1.36 - new method Coro::Handle::timeout.

501     - Coro::Socket::accept now returns a Coro::Socket, not a Coro::Handle.
502     - Coro::Handle now supports fileno and FILENO.
503     - added eg/myhttpd, a web server.
504 root 1.37 - Coro::Socket now accepts numeric ports as well as "port(number)"
505     syntax.
506 root 1.38 - moved some scheduling primitives into xs code. more to come.
507 root 1.39 - new simple priority system.

512 root 1.31 - new method Coro::Handle::readline.

514     (see eg/lwp on how to make LWP non-blocking).
515 root 1.31 - renamed Coro::Socket::new_inet to new.
516 root 1.32 - added Coro::Util, some utility functions.
517 root 1.33 - die/eval now works better (still get annoying (but true ;)
518     "Callback called exit" messages).
519 root 1.34 - Coro::Handle now supports timeout, and Coro::Socket Timeout.

523 root 1.29 - do not use mmap if neither MAP_ANON nor MAP_ANONYMOUS is defined.
524 root 1.34 - very experimental stack sharing algorithm. not 100% safe but
525 root 1.28 should work well in practise ;)
526 root 1.30 - added Coro::RWLock.
527 root 1.31 - Coro::Specific now works.

535 root 1.23 - release candidate 3. A rather new internal structure :(
536 root 1.24 - the great renaming: Damian Conway gave me a suitable replacement
537     for yield.
538 root 1.23 - added Coro/libcoro, a portable coroutine implementation for C
539 root 1.22 (not even perl-dependent!!!), which can be used by Coro::State.
540 root 1.20 - renamed SAVE_DEFSV (on xs-level only) to avoid symbol clash in
541     perl-5.6.
542 root 1.16 - new function Coro::Event::idle.
543     - the idle process is now overriden
544     by default in Coro::Event.

550     non-blocking i/o.
551 root 1.25 - performance tuning.
552 root 1.16
553 root 1.15 0.08 Thu Jul 19 06:13:25 CEST 2001

565    
566 root 1.11 0.06 Tue Jul 17 04:23:24 CEST 2001
567     - ok, I found the showstopper - the same sub must not be
568 root 1.9 re-entered in two different coroutines, otherwise => crash. I
569     see no easy solution to this problem, except by walking the call
570     chaing and saving/restoring the cv's, which is what I do now.
571 root 1.11 - memory leaks still latent, especially at thread termination.
572     - Coro::Event now works (haha).
573 root 1.9
574 root 1.8 0.05 Sun Jul 15 17:32:20 CEST 2001

585 root 1.4
586 root 1.3 0.03 Fri Jul 13 14:51:52 CEST 2001
587 root 1.4 - transfer() now implemented in XS (beware).
588     - new module Coro::Cont for really faked continuations.
589     - big internal architecture changes: Coro::State is now
590 root 1.3 really low-level and can thus be used to implement other
591 root 1.4 interesting things, While "Coro::" implements a process-like
592     model. Still crude and subject to change.
