3TODO: better (earlier) error messages on broken transfer's
4
5 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
6
73.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006
8 - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even
9 without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should
10 notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :)
11 - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have
12 it. Also noticed by Andreas König :)
13 - save/restore tainted status.
14 - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5.
15
163.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
17 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
18 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
19 - give a better error message on deadlock.
20 - document Coro::nready.
21 - enhanced testsuite.
22
233.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006
24 - forgot to include Coro::Timer.
25
263.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
27 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
28 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
29 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
30 pool (size currently hardcoded).
31 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
32 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
33 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
34 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
35 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
36 check for changed watchers.
37 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
38 per event.
39 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
40 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
41 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
42 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
43 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
44 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
45 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
46 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
47 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
48 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
49 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
50 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
51 - updated to newest libcoro.
52 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
53 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
54 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
55 and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
56 if somebody asks for it :)
57 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
58 spuriously without the event having happened.
59
602.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
61 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
62 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
63 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
64 make LWP non-blocking.
65 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
66 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
67 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
68 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
69 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
70 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
71 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
72 by LWP(!!).
73 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
74 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
75 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
76 did already.
77
782.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
79 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
80 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
81 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
82 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
83 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
84 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
85 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
86 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
87
882.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
89 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
90
911.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
92
931.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
94 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
95 mark & sweep gc run.
96 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
97
981.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
99 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
100 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
101
1021.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
103 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
104 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
105 wrong package.
106 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
107 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
108 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
109 normally uses.
110 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
111
1121.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
113 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
114
1151.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
116 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
117 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
118 - strict'ify some modules.
119 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
120 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
121 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
122
1231.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
124 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
125 when 'l'inux method was used.
126
1271.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
128 - some portability fixes/workarounds.
129
1301.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
131 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
132 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
133 Coro::State::flush method.
134 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
135
1361.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
3 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability. 137 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
4 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation. 138 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
5 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support. 139 - 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. 140 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
141 - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.

18 padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked. 153 padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
