10 - forgot to include Coro::Timer.

123.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
13 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
14 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
15 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
16 pool (size currently hardcoded).
17 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
18 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
19 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
20 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
21 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
22 check for changed watchers.
23 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
24 per event.
25 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
26 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
27 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
28 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
29 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
30 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
31 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
32 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
33 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
34 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
35 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
36 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
37 - updated to newest libcoro.
38 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
39 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
40 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
41 and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
42 if somebody asks for it :)
43 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
44 spuriously without the event having happened.
45
462.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
47 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
48 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
49 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
50 make LWP non-blocking.
51 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
52 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
53 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
54 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
55 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
56 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
57 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
58 by LWP(!!).
59 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
60 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
61 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
62 did already.
63
642.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
65 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
66 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
67 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
68 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
69 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
70 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
3 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X. 71 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
72 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
