1Revision history for Perl extension Coro. 1Revision history for Perl extension Coro.
2 2
3 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
4 mark & sweep gc run.
5
61.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
7 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
8 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
9
101.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
11 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
12 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
13 wrong package.
14 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
15 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
16 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
17 normally uses.
18 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
19
201.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
21 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
22
231.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
24 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
25 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
26 - strict'ify some modules.
27 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
28 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
29 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
30
311.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
32 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
33 when 'l'inux method was used.
34
351.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
36 - some portability fixes/workarounds.
37
381.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
39 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
40 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
41 Coro::State::flush method.
42 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
43
441.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
45 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
46 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
47 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
48 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
49 - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.
50
511.11 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
52 - change of contact address.
53
541.1 Tue Feb 22 20:51:16 CET 2005
55 - support [l]inux method on amd64.
56 - allow some context switches while compiling/eval'ing.
57
581.0 Tue Aug 10 03:47:27 CEST 2004
59 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
60 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
61 padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
62
630.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
64 - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
65
660.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
67 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
68 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
69 as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
70 Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
71 between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
72 fixable).
73 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
74
750.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
76 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
77 faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
78 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
79 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
80 observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
81 of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
82 pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
83 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
84 - fix for threaded perl.
85
860.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
87 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
88 memory leaks.
89 - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
90 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
91 hopefully ignoring it "just works".
92
930.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
94 - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
95 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
96
970.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
98 - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
99 of new features.
100 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
101 Highly correct stuff, that is...
102 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
103 the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.
104
1050.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
106 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
107 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
108 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
109 so preselect it.
110
1110.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
112 - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost
113 on reading, reported by jason@nichego.net.
114
1150.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
116 - added a README.linux-glibc.
117 - new module Coro::Select.
118 - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
119 (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
120 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
121
1220.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
123 - made lazy context switching the default.
124 - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
125 was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
126 - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
127 - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
128
1290.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
130 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
131 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
132 - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
133 ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
134 - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
135 of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
136
1370.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
138 - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
139 - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
140 could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
141
1420.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
143 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
144 (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
145 without Event, which freezes).
146
1470.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
148 - Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.
149
1500.53 Tue Nov 27 21:11:13 CET 2001
151 - some tests for Event.
152 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
153 and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
154 new ones.
155 - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
156 - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.
157
1580.52 Tue Nov 6 21:36:18 CET 2001
159 - ported to cygwin (trivial).
160 patch by Gerrit P. Haase <gp@familiehaase.de>.
161 - small setjmp code fix by Sullivan.DanielJ@epamail.epa.gov.
162
1630.51 Thu Nov 1 20:39:01 CET 2001
164 - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
165 could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
166 error.
167 - added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
168 - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.
169 - implemented terminate with args + join.
170
1710.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001
172 - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.
173 - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
174 in various modules.
175 - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
176 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.
177
1780.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
179 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
180 inside Coro::Handle.
181 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
182 speed reasons.
183 - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
184 sjlj and ucontext should now work.
185 - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
186 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
187 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.
188 - fixed a bug that caused segfault when returning to main task
189 under some circumstances.
190 - other bugfixes.
191
1920.45 Sun Sep 2 02:54:01 CEST 2001
193 - new method Coro::Handle::timeout.
194 - corrected speling of set...name to get...name in Coro::Socket.
195 - Coro::Socket::accept now returns a Coro::Socket, not a Coro::Handle.
196 - Coro::Handle now supports fileno and FILENO.
197 - added eg/myhttpd, a web server.
198 - Coro::Socket now accepts numeric ports as well as "port(number)"
199 syntax.
200 - moved some scheduling primitives into xs code. more to come.
201 - new simple priority system.
202 - implemented Coro::Event using XS, almost four times faster!
203 - small memory corruption problem fixed (boy that was difficult).
204
2050.13 Wed Aug 8 16:53:07 CEST 2001
206 - new method Coro::Handle::readline.
207 - added eg/lwp and Coro::Handle::autoflush, to make LWP work.
208 (see eg/lwp on how to make LWP non-blocking).
209 - renamed Coro::Socket::new_inet to new.
210 - added Coro::Util, some utility functions.
211 - die/eval now works better (still get annoying (but true ;)
212 "Callback called exit" messages).
213 - Coro::Handle now supports timeout, and Coro::Socket Timeout.
214 - much better Coro::Socket support.
215
2160.12 Fri Jul 27 04:19:01 CEST 2001
217 - do not use mmap if neither MAP_ANON nor MAP_ANONYMOUS is defined.
218 - very experimental stack sharing algorithm. not 100% safe but
219 should work well in practise ;)
220 - added Coro::RWLock.
221 - Coro::Specific now works.
222
2230.11 Tue Jul 24 22:49:21 CEST 2001
224 - added specialized hack for newer and older linux versions (fast).
225 - renamed Coro::Event::IO to Coro::Handle.
226 - new module Coro::Socket.
227
2280.1 Tue Jul 24 01:47:53 CEST 2001
229 - release candidate 3. A rather new internal structure :(
230 - the great renaming: Damian Conway gave me a suitable replacement
231 for yield.
232 - added Coro/libcoro, a portable coroutine implementation for C
233 (not even perl-dependent!!!), which can be used by Coro::State.
234 - renamed SAVE_DEFSV (on xs-level only) to avoid symbol clash in
235 perl-5.6.
3 - new function Coro::Event::idle. 236 - new function Coro::Event::idle.
