4 4
53.3
6 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
7 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
8 documented and - hopefully - improved.
9 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
10 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
11
123.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
13 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
14 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
15 - simplify configuration for users.
16 - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
17 their coro replacements.

193.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006
20 - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even
21 without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should
22 notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :)
23 - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have
24 it. Also noticed by Andreas König :)
25 - save/restore tainted status.
26 - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5.
27
283.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
29 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
30 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
31 - give a better error message on deadlock.
32 - document Coro::nready.
33 - enhanced testsuite.
34
353.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006
36 - forgot to include Coro::Timer.
37
383.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
39 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
40 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
41 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
42 pool (size currently hardcoded).
43 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
44 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
45 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
46 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
47 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
48 check for changed watchers.
49 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
50 per event.
51 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
52 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
53 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
54 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
55 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
56 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
57 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
58 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
59 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
60 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
61 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
62 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
63 - updated to newest libcoro.
64 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
65 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
66 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
67 and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
68 if somebody asks for it :)
69 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
70 spuriously without the event having happened.
71
722.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
73 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
74 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
75 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
76 make LWP non-blocking.
77 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
78 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
79 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
80 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
81 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
82 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
83 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
84 by LWP(!!).
85 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
86 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
87 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
88 did already.
89
902.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
91 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
92 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
93 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
94 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
95 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
96 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
97 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
98 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
99
1002.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
101 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
102
1031.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
104
1051.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
106 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
107 mark & sweep gc run.
108 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
109
1101.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
111 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
112 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
113
1141.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
115 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
116 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
117 wrong package.
118 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
119 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
120 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
121 normally uses.
122 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
123
1241.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
125 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
126
1271.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
128 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
129 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
130 - strict'ify some modules.
5 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1. 131 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
132 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
133 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.

71.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005 1351.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
8 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64, 136 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
9 when 'l'inux method was used. 137 when 'l'inux method was used.
