33.0
4 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
5 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
6 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm.
7 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
8 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
9 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
10 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
11 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
12 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
13 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
14 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
15 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
16 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
17 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
18 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
19 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
20 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
21 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
22 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
23 - updated to newest libcoro.
24 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
25 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
26 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
27 spuriously without the event having happened.
28
292.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
30 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
31 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
32 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
33 make LWP non-blocking.
34 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
35 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
36 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
37 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
38 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
39 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
40 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
41 by LWP(!!).
42 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
43 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
44 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
45 did already.
46
472.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
48 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
49 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
50 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
51 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
52 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
53 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
54 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
55 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
56
572.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
58 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
59
601.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
61
621.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
63 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
64 mark & sweep gc run.
65 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
66
671.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
68 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
69 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
70
711.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
72 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
73 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
74 wrong package.
75 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
76 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
77 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
78 normally uses.
79 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
80
811.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
82 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
83
841.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
85 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
86 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
87 - strict'ify some modules.
88 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
89 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
90 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
91
921.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
93 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
94 when 'l'inux method was used.
