1Revision history for Perl extension Coro. 1Revision history for Perl extension Coro.
2 2
3TODO: possibly convert some of the Event modules into AnyEvent users. 3TODO: better (earlier) error messages on broken transfer's
4TODO: destroy gets only called on cancel: fix(?)
4 5
5TODO: eg/lwp to use Coro::Select 6 - remove t/09_timer.t, as it isn't really testing much
6 - should compile with perl 5.9.x now. 7 but was rather flaky in practise.
8 - async_pool coro would keep arguments and callback alive until
9 it was reused.
10
113.3 Sat Jan 6 03:45:00 CET 2007
12 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
13 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
14 documented and - hopefully - improved.
15 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
16 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
17 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
18 that could errronously trigger.
19 - fix various large and small memleaks.
20 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
21 that immediately frees the coroutine data.
22 - cede/cede_notself return a status now.
23 - added Coro::guard function.
24 - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine,
25 I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async,
26 and 128k coros with async_pool).
27 - Coro::AIO now uses the coroutine priority as io priority.
28
293.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
30 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
31 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
32 - simplify configuration for users.
33 - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
34 their coro replacements.
35
363.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006
37 - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even
38 without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should
39 notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :)
40 - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have
41 it. Also noticed by Andreas König :)
42 - save/restore tainted status.
43 - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5.
44
453.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
46 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
47 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
48 - give a better error message on deadlock.
49 - document Coro::nready.
50 - enhanced testsuite.
51
523.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006
53 - forgot to include Coro::Timer.
54
553.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
56 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
57 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
58 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
59 pool (size currently hardcoded).
60 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
61 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
62 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
63 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
64 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
65 check for changed watchers.
66 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
67 per event.
68 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
69 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
70 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
71 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
72 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
73 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
74 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
75 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
76 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
77 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
78 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
79 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
80 - updated to newest libcoro.
81 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
82 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
83 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
84 and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
85 if somebody asks for it :)
86 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
87 spuriously without the event having happened.
88
892.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
90 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
91 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
92 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
93 make LWP non-blocking.
94 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
95 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
7 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine. 96 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
8 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env. 97 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
9 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket. 98 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
10 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket. 99 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
11 - made Coro::Util an AnyEvent user, moved it to Coro/. 100 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
101 by LWP(!!).
102 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
12 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. coroutines that die 103 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
13 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main coroutine 104 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
14 do. 105 did already.

18 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle. 109 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
