2 2
31.7 3TODO: better (earlier) error messages on broken transfer's
4TODO: destroy gets only called on cancel: fix(?)
5TODO: exit in a coroutine should somehow do the real thing. but how?
6TODO: should explore PerlIO::via::CoroCede and PerlIO::via::CoroAIO.
7
8 - added some bugfixes to get eg/myhttpd working again.
9 - added Coro::Storable for often-cede'ing freeze/thaw.
10
113.55 Sun Mar 25 01:20:47 CET 2007
12 - add SAVE_DEFFH to save the default filehandle and enable
13 it by default.
14 - finally move socket-operations from Coro::Socket to Coro::Handle
15 to be able to unblock foreign sockets.
16 - add Coro::State::save_also and guarded_save.
17 - add count accessor to Coro::Semaphore.
18 - add Coro::State::cctx_stacksize.
19 - just for the fun of it, do not rely on implicit context,
20 which can dramatically improve performance, but people
21 using windows-process-emulation perls do not care much about
22 performance.
23
243.51 Sun Mar 4 14:18:04 CET 2007
25 - fixed a problem when you weakened references to Coro::State's
26 (patch by Yuval Kogman).
27
283.501 Wed Feb 28 12:44:07 CET 2007
29 - rename some global symbols as macosx from hell redefines
30 them without asking.
31
323.5 Tue Feb 13 20:22:53 CET 2007
33 - do AnyEvent model detection earlier, avoiding problems
34 caused by first using AnyEvent and later Coro::Event.
35 - implement and document Coro::Event event objects.
36 - fix a potential problem in Coro::Event causing crashes.
37 - initialise PL_comppad when creating a new coroutine,
38 avoids crashes on early coro destruction.
39
403.41 Mon Jan 22 19:19:49 CET 2007
41 - readline on Coro::Handle did not support undefined $/,
42 nor did it deliver partial lines on EOF or error.
43 - implement malloc fallback for stack allocation because
44 stupid broken idiotic OSX has a stupid broken
45 idiotic fits-the-whole-os mmap "implementation" and
46 my dick feels longer if Coro is portable even to
47 obsolete platforms.
48
493.4 Fri Jan 19 21:52:54 CET 2007
50 - remove t/09_timer.t, as it isn't really testing much
51 but was rather flaky in practise.
52 - async_pool coro would keep arguments and callback alive until
53 it was reused.
54 - cancellation of a coroutine could cause spurious idle calls
55 in cede_notself.
56
573.3 Sat Jan 6 03:45:00 CET 2007
58 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
59 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
60 documented and - hopefully - improved.
61 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
62 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
63 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
64 that could errronously trigger.
65 - fix various large and small memleaks.
66 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
67 that immediately frees the coroutine data.
68 - cede/cede_notself return a status now.
69 - added Coro::guard function.
70 - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine,
71 I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async,
72 and 128k coros with async_pool).
73 - Coro::AIO now uses the coroutine priority as io priority.
74
753.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
76 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
77 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
78 - simplify configuration for users.
79 - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
80 their coro replacements.
81
823.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006
83 - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even
84 without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should
85 notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :)
86 - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have
87 it. Also noticed by Andreas König :)
88 - save/restore tainted status.
89 - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5.
90
913.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
92 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
93 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
94 - give a better error message on deadlock.
95 - document Coro::nready.
96 - enhanced testsuite.
97
983.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006
99 - forgot to include Coro::Timer.
100
1013.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
102 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
103 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
104 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
105 pool (size currently hardcoded).
106 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
107 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
108 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
109 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
110 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
111 check for changed watchers.
112 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
113 per event.
114 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
115 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
116 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
117 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
118 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
119 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
120 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
121 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
122 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
123 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
124 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
125 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
126 - updated to newest libcoro.
127 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
128 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
129 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
130 and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
131 if somebody asks for it :)
132 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
133 spuriously without the event having happened.
134
1352.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
136 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
137 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
138 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
139 make LWP non-blocking.
140 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
141 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
142 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
143 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
144 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
145 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
146 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
147 by LWP(!!).
148 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
149 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
150 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
151 did already.
152
1532.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
154 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
155 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
156 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
157 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
158 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
159 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
160 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
161 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
162
1632.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
164 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
165
1661.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
167
1681.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
169 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
170 mark & sweep gc run.
171 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
172
1731.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
4 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO. 174 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
5 - improved Makefile.PL explanations. 175 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.

71.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005 1771.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
8 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet 178 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
