1Revision history for Perl extension Coro. 1Revision history for Perl extension Coro.
2 2
30.49 3TODO: possibly convert some of the Event modules into AnyEvent users.
4
5 - should compile with perl 5.9.x now.
6 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
7 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
8 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix: coroutines that die
9 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main coroutine
10 do.
11
122.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
13 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
14 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
15 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
16 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
17 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
18 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
19 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
20 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
21
222.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
23 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
24
251.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
26
271.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
28 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
29 mark & sweep gc run.
30 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
31
321.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
33 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
34 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
35
361.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
37 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
38 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
39 wrong package.
40 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
41 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
42 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
43 normally uses.
44 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
45
461.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
47 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
48
491.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
50 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
51 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
52 - strict'ify some modules.
53 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
54 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
55 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
56
571.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
58 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
59 when 'l'inux method was used.
60
611.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
62 - some portability fixes/workarounds.
63
641.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
65 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
66 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
67 Coro::State::flush method.
68 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
69
701.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
71 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
72 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
73 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
74 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
75 - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.
76
771.11 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
78 - change of contact address.
79
801.1 Tue Feb 22 20:51:16 CET 2005
81 - support [l]inux method on amd64.
82 - allow some context switches while compiling/eval'ing.
83
841.0 Tue Aug 10 03:47:27 CEST 2004
85 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
86 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
87 padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
88
890.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
90 - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
91
920.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
93 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
94 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
95 as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
96 Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
97 between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
98 fixable).
99 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
100
1010.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
102 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
103 faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
104 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
105 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
106 observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
107 of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
108 pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
109 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
110 - fix for threaded perl.
111
1120.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
113 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
114 memory leaks.
115 - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
116 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
117 hopefully ignoring it "just works".
118
1190.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
120 - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
121 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
122
1230.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
124 - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
125 of new features.
126 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
127 Highly correct stuff, that is...
128 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
129 the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.
130
1310.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
132 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
133 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
134 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
135 so preselect it.
136
1370.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
138 - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost
139 on reading, reported by jason@nichego.net.
140
1410.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
142 - added a README.linux-glibc.
143 - new module Coro::Select.
144 - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
145 (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
146 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
147
1480.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
149 - made lazy context switching the default.
150 - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
151 was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
152 - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
153 - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
154
1550.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
156 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
157 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
158 - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
159 ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
160 - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
161 of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
162
1630.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
164 - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
165 - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
166 could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
167
1680.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
169 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
170 (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
171 without Event, which freezes).
172
1730.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
174 - Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.
175
1760.53 Tue Nov 27 21:11:13 CET 2001
177 - some tests for Event.
178 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
179 and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
180 new ones.
181 - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
182 - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.
183
1840.52 Tue Nov 6 21:36:18 CET 2001
185 - ported to cygwin (trivial).
186 patch by Gerrit P. Haase <gp@familiehaase.de>.
187 - small setjmp code fix by Sullivan.DanielJ@epamail.epa.gov.
188
1890.51 Thu Nov 1 20:39:01 CET 2001
190 - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
191 could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
192 error.
193 - added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
194 - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.
195 - implemented terminate with args + join.
196
1970.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001
198 - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.
199 - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
200 in various modules.
201 - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
202 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.
203
2040.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
4 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed 205 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
5 inside Coro::Handle. 206 inside Coro::Handle.
6 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for 207 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
7 speed reasons. 208 speed reasons.
8 - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?". 209 - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
