Revision history for Perl extension Coro. |
2 |
|
3 |
1.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005 |
4 |
- included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability. |
5 |
- use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation. |
6 |
- accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support. |
7 |
- fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed. |
8 |
- fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker. |
9 |
|
10 |
1.11 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005 |
11 |
- change of contact address. |
12 |
|
13 |
1.1 Tue Feb 22 20:51:16 CET 2005 |
14 |
- support [l]inux method on amd64. |
15 |
- make some context switches while compiling/eval'ing work. |
16 |
|
17 |
1.0 Tue Aug 10 03:47:27 CEST 2004 |
18 |
- Event 0.89 fixes the bug again. |
19 |
- fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for |
20 |
padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked. |
21 |
|
22 |
0.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004 |
23 |
- remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway. |
24 |
|
25 |
0.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004 |
26 |
- tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant. |
27 |
- made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long |
28 |
as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine. |
29 |
Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking |
30 |
between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily |
31 |
fixable). |
32 |
- (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer. |
33 |
|
34 |
0.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004 |
35 |
- removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much |
36 |
faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV. |
37 |
- a memleak with (real) closures remains. |
38 |
- dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after |
39 |
observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte |
40 |
of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in |
41 |
pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap). |
42 |
- fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby. |
43 |
- fix for threaded perl. |
44 |
|
45 |
0.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003 |
46 |
- fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid |
47 |
memory leaks. |
48 |
- stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(. |
49 |
- perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters, |
50 |
hopefully ignoring it "just works". |
51 |
|
52 |
0.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003 |
53 |
- port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported! |
54 |
- honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket. |
55 |
|
56 |
0.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003 |
57 |
- the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs |
58 |
of new features. |
59 |
- uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker. |
60 |
Highly correct stuff, that is... |
61 |
- fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env". |
62 |
the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(. |
63 |
|
64 |
0.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003 |
65 |
- Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD, |
66 |
cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext. |
67 |
- Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin, |
68 |
so preselect it. |
69 |
|
70 |
0.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003 |
71 |
- fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost |
72 |
on reading, reported by jason@nichego.net. |
73 |
|
74 |
0.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003 |
75 |
- added a README.linux-glibc. |
76 |
- new module Coro::Select. |
77 |
- also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1. |
78 |
(I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;). |
79 |
- set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux. |
80 |
|
81 |
0.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002 |
82 |
- made lazy context switching the default. |
83 |
- fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard |
84 |
was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing. |
85 |
- fix a memleak in Coro::Timer. |
86 |
- reclassified context sharing as not experimental. |
87 |
|
88 |
0.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002 |
89 |
- fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd). |
90 |
- added eg/readline, for elmex. |
91 |
- Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of |
92 |
->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next. |
93 |
- fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead |
94 |
of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions. |
95 |
|
96 |
0.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002 |
97 |
- adapt to finally working Event-0.85. |
98 |
- fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how |
99 |
could it possibly have worked anywhere?) |
100 |
|
101 |
0.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002 |
102 |
- removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on |
103 |
(some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin, |
104 |
without Event, which freezes). |
105 |
|
106 |
0.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001 |
107 |
- Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down. |
108 |
|
109 |
0.53 Tue Nov 27 21:11:13 CET 2001 |
110 |
- some tests for Event. |
111 |
- slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object |
112 |
and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce |
113 |
new ones. |
114 |
- Coro::Timer (independent of Event). |
115 |
- new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet. |
116 |
|
117 |
0.52 Tue Nov 6 21:36:18 CET 2001 |
118 |
- ported to cygwin (trivial). |
119 |
patch by Gerrit P. Haase <gp@familiehaase.de>. |
120 |
- small setjmp code fix by Sullivan.DanielJ@epamail.epa.gov. |
121 |
|
122 |
0.51 Thu Nov 1 20:39:01 CET 2001 |
123 |
- terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination |
124 |
could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..." |
125 |
error. |
126 |
- added Coro::Socket::shutdown. |
127 |
- Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop. |
128 |
- implemented terminate with args + join. |
129 |
|
130 |
0.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001 |
131 |
- fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked. |
132 |
- small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot) |
133 |
in various modules. |
134 |
- splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout. |
135 |
- added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh. |
136 |
|
137 |
0.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001 |
138 |
- changed some method calls to function calls for speed |
139 |
inside Coro::Handle. |
140 |
- make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for |
141 |
speed reasons. |
142 |
- IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?". |
143 |
sjlj and ucontext should now work. |
144 |
- IRIX-specific port for libcoro. |
145 |
- swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket. |
146 |
- changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket. |
147 |
- fixed a bug that caused segfault when returning to main task |
148 |
under some circumstances. |
149 |
- other bugfixes. |
150 |
|
151 |
0.45 Sun Sep 2 02:54:01 CEST 2001 |
152 |
- new method Coro::Handle::timeout. |
153 |
- corrected speling of set...name to get...name in Coro::Socket. |
154 |
- Coro::Socket::accept now returns a Coro::Socket, not a Coro::Handle. |
155 |
- Coro::Handle now supports fileno and FILENO. |
156 |
- added eg/myhttpd, a web server. |
157 |
- Coro::Socket now accepts numeric ports as well as "port(number)" |
158 |
syntax. |
159 |
- moved some scheduling primitives into xs code. more to come. |
160 |
- new simple priority system. |
161 |
- implemented Coro::Event using XS, almost four times faster! |
162 |
- small memory corruption problem fixed (boy that was difficult). |
163 |
|
164 |
0.13 Wed Aug 8 16:53:07 CEST 2001 |
165 |
- new method Coro::Handle::readline. |
166 |
- added eg/lwp and Coro::Handle::autoflush, to make LWP work. |
167 |
(see eg/lwp on how to make LWP non-blocking). |
168 |
- renamed Coro::Socket::new_inet to new. |
169 |
- added Coro::Util, some utility functions. |
170 |
- die/eval now works better (still get annoying (but true ;) |
171 |
"Callback called exit" messages). |
172 |
- Coro::Handle now supports timeout, and Coro::Socket Timeout. |
173 |
- much better Coro::Socket support. |
174 |
|
175 |
0.12 Fri Jul 27 04:19:01 CEST 2001 |
176 |
- do not use mmap if neither MAP_ANON nor MAP_ANONYMOUS is defined. |
177 |
- very experimental stack sharing algorithm. not 100% safe but |
178 |
should work well in practise ;) |
179 |
- added Coro::RWLock. |
180 |
- Coro::Specific now works. |
181 |
|
182 |
0.11 Tue Jul 24 22:49:21 CEST 2001 |
183 |
- added specialized hack for newer and older linux versions (fast). |
184 |
- renamed Coro::Event::IO to Coro::Handle. |
185 |
- new module Coro::Socket. |
186 |
|
187 |
0.1 Tue Jul 24 01:47:53 CEST 2001 |
188 |
- release candidate 3. A rather new internal structure :( |
189 |
- the great renaming: Damian Conway gave me a suitable replacement |
190 |
for yield. |
191 |
- added Coro/libcoro, a portable coroutine implementation for C |
192 |
(not even perl-dependent!!!), which can be used by Coro::State. |
193 |
- renamed SAVE_DEFSV (on xs-level only) to avoid symbol clash in |
194 |
perl-5.6. |
195 |
- new function Coro::Event::idle. |
196 |
- the idle process is now overriden |
197 |
by default in Coro::Event. |
198 |
- Coro::Channel now enforces the size. |
199 |
- canceling events now works in all cases. |
200 |
- Coro state now include $_ and $@. |
201 |
- yet another bug workaround that I do not really understand :( |
202 |
- new module Coro::Event::IO (very undocumented) to do |
203 |
non-blocking i/o. |
204 |
- performance tuning. |
205 |
|
206 |
0.08 Thu Jul 19 06:13:25 CEST 2001 |
207 |
- release candidate 2 (new functionality). |
208 |
- add Coro::State::flush function. |
209 |
- transfer now supports a flags value (mostly for speed ATM). |
210 |
- might compile and work in the presence of threads now. |
211 |
- continuations have a saner syntax. |
212 |
- no more memleaks. |
213 |
|
214 |
0.07 Tue Jul 17 17:40:18 CEST 2001 |
215 |
- release candidate 1 ;) |
216 |
- slightly nicer code. |
217 |
- fixed a scheduling bug in Coro::Event. |
218 |
|
219 |
0.06 Tue Jul 17 04:23:24 CEST 2001 |
220 |
- ok, I found the showstopper - the same sub must not be |
221 |
re-entered in two different coroutines, otherwise => crash. I |
222 |
see no easy solution to this problem, except by walking the call |
223 |
chaing and saving/restoring the cv's, which is what I do now. |
224 |
- memory leaks still latent, especially at thread termination. |
225 |
- Coro::Event now works (haha). |
226 |
|
227 |
0.05 Sun Jul 15 17:32:20 CEST 2001 |
228 |
- fixed a few issues in Coro::Event. |
229 |
- I forgot to include Coro::Event in 0.04 :(:(:( |
230 |
|
231 |
0.04 Sun Jul 15 05:24:59 CEST 2001 |
232 |
- @_ is now properly localized. |
233 |
- Coro::State is now easier subclassable. |
234 |
- Coro::Cont now coroutine-aware. |
235 |
- Coro::Specific is a low-overhead module to create |
236 |
coroutine-specific vars. |
237 |
- Coro::Event provides a simple interface to Event. |
238 |
|
239 |
0.03 Fri Jul 13 14:51:52 CEST 2001 |
240 |
- transfer() now implemented in XS (beware). |
241 |
- new module Coro::Cont for really faked continuations. |
242 |
- big internal architecture changes: Coro::State is now |
243 |
really low-level and can thus be used to implement other |
244 |
interesting things, While "Coro::" implements a process-like |
245 |
model. Still crude and subject to change. |
246 |
- $_ and $@ are no longer being localized. |
247 |
|
248 |
0.02 Tue Jul 10 01:38:17 CEST 2001 |
249 |
- implemented "async" attribute. |
250 |
- $_ and $@ are now localized. |
251 |
- added Coro::Channel. |
252 |
- more testcases, still no docs. |
253 |
|
254 |
0.01 Tue Jul 3 02:18:41 CEST 2001 |
255 |
- original version; copied from Convert::Scalar. |
256 |
|
