2TODO: Coro::Select (select) and "" both don'T work
3 2
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 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
13 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
14 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
15 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
16 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
17 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
18 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
19 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
20 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
21 - updated to newest libcoro.
22 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
23 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
24 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
25 spuriously without the event having happened.
26
272.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
28 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
29 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
30 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
31 make LWP non-blocking.
32 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
33 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
34 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
35 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
36 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
37 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
38 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
39 by LWP(!!).
40 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
41 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
42 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
43 did already.
44
452.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
46 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
47 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
48 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
49 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
50 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
51 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
52 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
53 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
54
552.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
56 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
57
581.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
59
601.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
61 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
62 mark & sweep gc run.
63 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
64
651.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
66 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
67 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
68
691.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
70 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
71 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
72 wrong package.
73 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
74 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
75 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
76 normally uses.
77 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
78
791.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
80 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
81
821.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
4 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks. 83 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
84 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
85 - strict'ify some modules.
5 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1. 86 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
87 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
88 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.

71.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005 901.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
8 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64, 91 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
9 when 'l'inux method was used. 92 when 'l'inux method was used.
