3 | TODO: better (earlier) error messages on broken transfer's |
|
|
4 | TODO: "internals mode" |
|
|
5 | TODO: "use defaults for everything" |
|
|
6 | |
|
|
7 | - improve portability to slightly older perls. |
|
|
8 | - use cleaner coroutine destruction. |
|

|
10 | 3.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006 |
|
|
11 | - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even |
|
|
12 | without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should |
|
|
13 | notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :) |
|
|
14 | - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have |
|
|
15 | it. Also noticed by Andreas König :) |
|
|
16 | - save/restore tainted status. |
|
|
17 | - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5. |
|
|
18 | |
|
|
19 | 3.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006 |
|
|
20 | - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow). |
|
|
21 | - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state. |
|
|
22 | - give a better error message on deadlock. |
|
|
23 | - document Coro::nready. |
|
|
24 | - enhanced testsuite. |
|
|
25 | |
|
|
26 | 3.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006 |
|
|
27 | - forgot to include Coro::Timer. |
|
|
28 | |
|
|
29 | 3.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006 |
|
|
30 | - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon: |
|
|
31 | the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release). |
|
|
32 | - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack |
|
|
33 | pool (size currently hardcoded). |
|
|
34 | - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic). |
|
|
35 | - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use. |
|
|
36 | - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but |
|
|
37 | no Coro::Event watchers were used. |
|
|
38 | - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not |
|
|
39 | check for changed watchers. |
|
|
40 | - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one |
|
|
41 | per event. |
|
|
42 | - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now. |
|
|
43 | - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub. |
|
|
44 | - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant. |
|
|
45 | - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under |
|
|
46 | some circumstances lead to stack corruption. |
|
|
47 | - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported |
|
|
48 | directly now without going through a _coro_state member. |
|
|
49 | - state/coro switching is much faster now. |
|
|
50 | - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup. |
|
|
51 | - avoid problems due to compiler inlining. |
|
|
52 | - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead. |
|
|
53 | - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler. |
|
|
54 | - updated to newest libcoro. |
|
|
55 | - implement enhanced support for valgrind. |
|
|
56 | - implement is_ready and return value for ready. |
|
|
57 | - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators), |
|
|
58 | and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back |
|
|
59 | if somebody asks for it :) |
|
|
60 | - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return |
|
|
61 | spuriously without the event having happened. |
|
|
62 | |
|
|
63 | 2.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006 |
|
|
64 | - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket |
|
|
65 | use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/. |
|
|
66 | - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to |
|
|
67 | make LWP non-blocking. |
|
|
68 | - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it). |
|
|
69 | - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef. |
|
|
70 | - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine. |
|
|
71 | - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env. |
|
|
72 | - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket. |
|
|
73 | - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket. |
|
|
74 | - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required |
|
|
75 | by LWP(!!). |
|
|
76 | - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's. |
|
|
77 | - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die |
|
|
78 | kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine" |
|
|
79 | did already. |
|
|
80 | |
|
|
81 | 2.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006 |
|
|
82 | - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with |
|
|
83 | zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle. |
|
|
84 | - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists |
|
|
85 | (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own). |
|
|
86 | - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures. |
|
|
87 | - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO. |
| 3 | - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X. |
88 | - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X, |
| 4 | - use a simpler and hopefully more robust |
89 | pach and testing by Michael Schwern. |
| 5 | way to clone padlists (uses less memory and |
|
|
| 6 | a perl function instead of our own). |
