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(?)

7 - fixed a problem when you weakened references to Coro::State's
8 (patch by Yuval Kogman).

103.501 Wed Feb 28 12:44:07 CET 2007
11 - rename some global symbols as macosx from hell redefines
12 them without asking.
13
143.5 Tue Feb 13 20:22:53 CET 2007
15 - do AnyEvent model detection earlier, avoiding problems
16 caused by first using AnyEvent and later Coro::Event.
17 - implement and document Coro::Event event objects.
18 - fix a potential problem in Coro::Event causing crashes.
19 - initialise PL_comppad when creating a new coroutine,
20 avoids crashes on early coro destruction.
21
223.41 Mon Jan 22 19:19:49 CET 2007
23 - readline on Coro::Handle did not support undefined $/,
24 nor did it deliver partial lines on EOF or error.
25 - implement malloc fallback for stack allocation because
26 stupid broken idiotic OSX has a stupid broken
27 idiotic fits-the-whole-os mmap "implementation" and
28 my dick feels longer if Coro is portable even to
29 obsolete platforms.
30
313.4 Fri Jan 19 21:52:54 CET 2007
32 - remove t/09_timer.t, as it isn't really testing much
33 but was rather flaky in practise.
34 - async_pool coro would keep arguments and callback alive until
35 it was reused.
36 - cancellation of a coroutine could cause spurious idle calls
37 in cede_notself.
38
393.3 Sat Jan 6 03:45:00 CET 2007
40 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
41 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
42 documented and - hopefully - improved.
43 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
44 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
45 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
46 that could errronously trigger.
47 - fix various large and small memleaks.
48 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
49 that immediately frees the coroutine data.
50 - cede/cede_notself return a status now.
51 - added Coro::guard function.
52 - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine,
53 I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async,
54 and 128k coros with async_pool).
55 - Coro::AIO now uses the coroutine priority as io priority.
56
573.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
58 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
59 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
60 - simplify configuration for users.
61 - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
62 their coro replacements.
63
643.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006
65 - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even
66 without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should
67 notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :)
68 - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have
69 it. Also noticed by Andreas König :)
70 - save/restore tainted status.
71 - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5.
72
733.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
74 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
75 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
76 - give a better error message on deadlock.
77 - document Coro::nready.
78 - enhanced testsuite.
79
803.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006
81 - forgot to include Coro::Timer.
82
833.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
84 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
85 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
86 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
87 pool (size currently hardcoded).
88 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
89 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
90 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
91 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
92 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
93 check for changed watchers.
94 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
95 per event.
96 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
97 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
98 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
99 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
100 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
101 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
102 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
103 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
104 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
105 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
106 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
107 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
108 - updated to newest libcoro.
109 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
110 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
111 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
112 and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
113 if somebody asks for it :)
114 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
115 spuriously without the event having happened.
116
1172.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
118 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
119 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
5 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to 120 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
6 make LWP non-blocking. 121 make LWP non-blocking.
7 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it). 122 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
123 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
8 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine. 124 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
9 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env. 125 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
10 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket. 126 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
11 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket. 127 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
12 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required 128 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
13 by LWP(!!). 129 by LWP(!!).
14 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's. 130 - 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 131 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
17 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine" 132 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
18 did already. 133 did already.
