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, which uses a stack
7 pool (size currently hardcoded).
8 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
9 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
10 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
11 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
12 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
13 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
14 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
15 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
16 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
17 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
18 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
19 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
20 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
21 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
22 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
23 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
24 - updated to newest libcoro.
25 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
26 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
27 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
28 spuriously without the event having happened.

302.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
31 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
32 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
33 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
34 make LWP non-blocking.
35 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
36 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
37 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
38 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
39 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
40 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
41 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
42 by LWP(!!).
43 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
44 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
45 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
46 did already.
47
482.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
49 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
50 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
51 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
52 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
53 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
54 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
55 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
56 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
57
582.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
59 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
60
611.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
62
631.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
64 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
65 mark & sweep gc run.
66 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
67
681.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
69 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
70 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
71
721.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
73 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
74 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
75 wrong package.
76 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
77 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
78 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
79 normally uses.
80 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
81
821.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
83 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
84
851.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
4 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks. 86 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
87 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
88 - strict'ify some modules.
5 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1. 89 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
90 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
91 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.

71.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005 931.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
8 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64, 94 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
9 when 'l'inux method was used. 95 when 'l'inux method was used.
