1Revision history for Perl extension Coro. 1Revision history for Perl extension Coro.
2 2
30.53 3TODO: possibly convert some of the Event modules into AnyEvent users.
4
5 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness of making LWP
6 non-blocking.
7 - should compile with perl 5.9.x now.
8 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
9 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
10 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
11 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
12 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
13 by LWP(!!).
14 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
15 - made Coro::Util an AnyEvent user, moved it to Coro/.
16 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. coroutines that die
17 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main coroutine
18 do.
19
202.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
21 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
22 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
23 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
24 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
25 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
26 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
27 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
28 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
29
302.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
31 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
32
331.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
34
351.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
36 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
37 mark & sweep gc run.
38 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
39
401.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
41 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
42 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
43
441.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
45 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
46 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
47 wrong package.
48 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
49 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
50 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
51 normally uses.
52 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
53
541.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
55 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
56
571.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
58 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
59 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
60 - strict'ify some modules.
61 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
62 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
63 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
64
651.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
66 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
67 when 'l'inux method was used.
68
691.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
70 - some portability fixes/workarounds.
71
721.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
73 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
74 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
75 Coro::State::flush method.
76 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
77
781.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
79 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
80 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
81 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
82 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
83 - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.
84
851.11 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
86 - change of contact address.
87
881.1 Tue Feb 22 20:51:16 CET 2005
89 - support [l]inux method on amd64.
90 - allow some context switches while compiling/eval'ing.
91
921.0 Tue Aug 10 03:47:27 CEST 2004
93 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
94 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
95 padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
96
970.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
98 - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
99
1000.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
101 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
102 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
103 as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
104 Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
105 between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
106 fixable).
107 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
108
1090.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
110 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
111 faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
112 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
113 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
114 observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
115 of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
116 pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
117 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
118 - fix for threaded perl.
119
1200.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
121 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
122 memory leaks.
123 - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
124 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
125 hopefully ignoring it "just works".
126
1270.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
128 - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
129 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
130
1310.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
132 - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
133 of new features.
134 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
135 Highly correct stuff, that is...
136 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
137 the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.
138
1390.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
140 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
141 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
142 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
143 so preselect it.
144
1450.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
146 - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost
147 on reading, reported by jason@nichego.net.
148
1490.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
150 - added a README.linux-glibc.
151 - new module Coro::Select.
152 - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
153 (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
154 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
155
1560.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
157 - made lazy context switching the default.
158 - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
159 was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
160 - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
161 - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
162
1630.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
164 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
165 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
166 - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
167 ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
168 - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
169 of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
170
1710.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
172 - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
173 - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
174 could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
175
1760.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
177 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
178 (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
179 without Event, which freezes).
180
1810.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
182 - Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.
183
1840.53 Tue Nov 27 21:11:13 CET 2001
4 - some tests for Event. 185 - some tests for Event.
5 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object 186 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
6 and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce 187 and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
7 new ones. 188 new ones.
8 - Coro::Timer (independent of Event). 189 - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
190 - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.
