3TODO: better (earlier) error messages on broken transfer's
4
53.
6 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine.
7 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
8 - give a better error message on deadlock.
9 - document Coro::nready.
10 - enhanced testsuite.
11
123.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006
13 - forgot to include Coro::Timer.
14
153.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
16 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
17 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
18 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
19 pool (size currently hardcoded).
20 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
21 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
22 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
23 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
24 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
25 check for changed watchers.
26 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
27 per event.
28 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
29 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
30 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
31 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
32 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
33 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
34 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
35 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
36 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
37 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
38 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
39 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
40 - updated to newest libcoro.
41 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
42 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
43 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
44 and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
45 if somebody asks for it :)
46 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
47 spuriously without the event having happened.
48
492.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
50 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
51 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
52 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
53 make LWP non-blocking.
54 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
55 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
56 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
57 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
58 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
59 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
60 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
61 by LWP(!!).
62 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
63 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
64 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
65 did already.
66
672.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
68 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
69 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
70 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
71 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
72 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
73 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
74 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
75 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
76
772.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
78 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
79
801.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
81
821.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
83 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
84 mark & sweep gc run.
85 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
86
871.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
88 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
89 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
90
911.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
92 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
93 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
94 wrong package.
95 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
96 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
97 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
98 normally uses.
99 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
100
1011.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
102 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
103
1041.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
105 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
106 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
107 - strict'ify some modules.
108 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
109 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
110 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
111
1121.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
113 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
114 when 'l'inux method was used.

117 - some portability fixes/workarounds.
118
1191.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
120 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
121 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
122 Coro::State::flush method.
123 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
124
1251.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
3 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability. 126 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
4 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation. 127 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
5 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support. 128 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
6 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed. 129 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
130 - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.
