2 2
30.5 3TODO: possibly convert some of the Event modules into AnyEvent users.
4
52.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
6 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
7 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
8 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
9 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
10 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
11 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
12 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
13 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
14
152.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
16 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
17
181.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
19
201.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
21 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
22 mark & sweep gc run.
23 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
24
251.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
26 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
27 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
28
291.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
30 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
31 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
32 wrong package.
33 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
34 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
35 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
36 normally uses.
37 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
38
391.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
40 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
41
421.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
43 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
44 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
45 - strict'ify some modules.
46 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
47 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
48 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
49
501.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
51 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
52 when 'l'inux method was used.
53
541.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
55 - some portability fixes/workarounds.
56
571.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
58 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
59 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
60 Coro::State::flush method.
61 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
62
631.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
64 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
65 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
66 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
67 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
68 - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.
69
701.11 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
71 - change of contact address.
72
731.1 Tue Feb 22 20:51:16 CET 2005
74 - support [l]inux method on amd64.
75 - allow some context switches while compiling/eval'ing.
76
771.0 Tue Aug 10 03:47:27 CEST 2004
78 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
79 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
80 padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
81
820.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
83 - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
84
850.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
86 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
87 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
88 as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
89 Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
90 between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
91 fixable).
92 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
93
940.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
95 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
96 faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
97 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
98 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
99 observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
100 of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
101 pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
102 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
103 - fix for threaded perl.
104
1050.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
106 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
107 memory leaks.
108 - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
109 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
110 hopefully ignoring it "just works".
111
1120.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
113 - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
114 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
115
1160.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
117 - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
118 of new features.
119 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
120 Highly correct stuff, that is...
121 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
122 the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.
123
1240.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
125 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
126 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
127 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
128 so preselect it.
129
1300.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
131 - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost
132 on reading, reported by jason@nichego.net.
133
1340.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
135 - added a README.linux-glibc.
136 - new module Coro::Select.
137 - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
138 (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
139 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
140
1410.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
142 - made lazy context switching the default.
143 - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
144 was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
145 - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
146 - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
147
1480.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
149 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
150 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
151 - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
152 ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
153 - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
154 of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
155
1560.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
157 - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
158 - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
159 could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
160
1610.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
162 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
163 (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
164 without Event, which freezes).
165
1660.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
167 - Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.
168
1690.53 Tue Nov 27 21:11:13 CET 2001
170 - some tests for Event.
171 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
172 and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
173 new ones.
174 - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
175 - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.
176
1770.52 Tue Nov 6 21:36:18 CET 2001
178 - ported to cygwin (trivial).
179 patch by Gerrit P. Haase <gp@familiehaase.de>.
180 - small setjmp code fix by Sullivan.DanielJ@epamail.epa.gov.
181
1820.51 Thu Nov 1 20:39:01 CET 2001
183 - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
184 could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
185 error.
186 - added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
187 - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.
188 - implemented terminate with args + join.
189
1900.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001
4 - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked. 191 - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.
5 - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot) 192 - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
6 in various modules. 193 in various modules.
7 - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout. 194 - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
8 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh. 195 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.
