3TODO: better (earlier) error messages on broken transfer's
4TODO: destroy gets only called on cancel: fix(?)
5
63.3
7 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
8 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
9 documented and - hopefully - improved.
10 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
11 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
12 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
13 that could errronously trigger.
14 - fix various large and small memleaks.
15 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
16 that immediately frees the coroutine data.
17 - added Coro::guard function.
18
193.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
20 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
21 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
22 - simplify configuration for users.
23 - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
24 their coro replacements.
25
263.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006
27 - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even
28 without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should
29 notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :)
30 - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have
31 it. Also noticed by Andreas König :)
32 - save/restore tainted status.
33 - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5.
34
353.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
36 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
37 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
38 - give a better error message on deadlock.
39 - document Coro::nready.
40 - enhanced testsuite.
41
423.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006
43 - forgot to include Coro::Timer.
44
453.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
46 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
47 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
48 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
49 pool (size currently hardcoded).
50 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
51 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
52 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
53 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
54 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
55 check for changed watchers.
56 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
57 per event.
58 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
59 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
60 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
61 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
62 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
63 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
64 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
65 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
66 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
67 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
68 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
69 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
70 - updated to newest libcoro.
71 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
72 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
73 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
74 and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
75 if somebody asks for it :)
76 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
77 spuriously without the event having happened.
78
792.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
80 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
81 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
82 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
83 make LWP non-blocking.
84 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
85 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
86 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
87 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
88 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
89 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
90 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
91 by LWP(!!).
92 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
93 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
94 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
95 did already.
96
972.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
98 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
99 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
100 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
101 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
102 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
103 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
104 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
105 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
106
1072.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
108 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
109
1101.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
111
1121.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
113 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
114 mark & sweep gc run.
115 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
116
1171.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
118 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
119 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
120
1211.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
122 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
123 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
124 wrong package.
125 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
126 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
127 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
128 normally uses.
129 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
130
1311.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
132 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
133
1341.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
4 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks. 135 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
136 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
137 - strict'ify some modules.
5 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1. 138 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
139 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
140 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.

71.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005 1421.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
8 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64, 143 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
9 when 'l'inux method was used. 144 when 'l'inux method was used.
