1Revision history for Perl extension Coro. 1Revision history for Perl extension Coro.
2 2
3TODO: better (earlier) error messages on broken transfer's
4TODO: destroy gets only called on cancel: fix(?)
5TODO: should explore PerlIO::via::CoroCede and PerlIO::via::CoroAIO.
6TODO: maybe implement a default message channel, very much like Erlang
7 (which is cool in a lot of important aspects (failures!),
8 but very lacking in others).

103.7
11 - added Coro::Semaphore::adjust.
12 - added Coro::Util::fork_eval.
13 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze.
14 - added Coro::Storable::{nfreeze,blocking_{freeze,nfreeze}}.
15 - added Coro::Debug, interactive coroutine debugging.
16
173.63 Wed May 16 14:10:06 CEST 2007
18 - implement handcoded assembly for x86/amd64 SVR ABI.
19
203.62 Fri Apr 27 21:36:06 CEST 2007
21 - upgrade libcoro (which might set unwind info correctly).
22 - change default on linux to setjmp/longjmp.
23
243.61 Thu Apr 19 12:36:18 CEST 2007
25 - Coro::Storable caused an endless loop when thawing invalid
26 pst's sometimes.
27 - use a Semaphore in Coro::Storable, as Storable doesn't
28 seem to be reentrant (although it is documented to
29 be threadsafe...).
30 - fix Coro::Signal to bring back the original unreliable
31 but stateful semantics.
32 - fixed a lot of typos in Coro.pm (patch submitted by David
33 Steinbrunner, which applied flawlessly).
34
353.6 Sat Apr 14 17:13:31 CEST 2007
36 - added some bugfixes to get eg/myhttpd working again.
37 - added Coro::Storable for often-cede'ing freeze/thaw.
38 - try to do a clean exit when a coroutine calls exit
39 (EXPERIMENTAL).
40 - got rid of indirect call through _coro_init.
41 - updated the partly antique examples in eg/ to
42 work again and be a bit less magic, too.
43 - fixed Coro::Signal semantics to work as documented again.
44
453.55 Sun Mar 25 01:20:47 CET 2007
46 - add SAVE_DEFFH to save the default filehandle and enable
47 it by default.
48 - finally move socket-operations from Coro::Socket to Coro::Handle
49 to be able to unblock foreign sockets.
50 - add Coro::State::save_also and guarded_save.
51 - add count accessor to Coro::Semaphore.
52 - add Coro::State::cctx_stacksize.
53 - just for the fun of it, do not rely on implicit context,
54 which can dramatically improve performance, but people
55 using windows-process-emulation perls do not care much about
56 performance.
57
583.51 Sun Mar 4 14:18:04 CET 2007
59 - fixed a problem when you weakened references to Coro::State's
60 (patch by Yuval Kogman).
61
623.501 Wed Feb 28 12:44:07 CET 2007
63 - rename some global symbols as macosx from hell redefines
64 them without asking.
65
663.5 Tue Feb 13 20:22:53 CET 2007
67 - do AnyEvent model detection earlier, avoiding problems
68 caused by first using AnyEvent and later Coro::Event.
69 - implement and document Coro::Event event objects.
70 - fix a potential problem in Coro::Event causing crashes.
71 - initialise PL_comppad when creating a new coroutine,
72 avoids crashes on early coro destruction.
73
743.41 Mon Jan 22 19:19:49 CET 2007
75 - readline on Coro::Handle did not support undefined $/,
76 nor did it deliver partial lines on EOF or error.
77 - implement malloc fallback for stack allocation because
78 stupid broken idiotic OSX has a stupid broken
79 idiotic fits-the-whole-os mmap "implementation" and
80 my dick feels longer if Coro is portable even to
81 obsolete platforms.
82
833.4 Fri Jan 19 21:52:54 CET 2007
84 - remove t/09_timer.t, as it isn't really testing much
85 but was rather flaky in practise.
86 - async_pool coro would keep arguments and callback alive until
87 it was reused.
88 - cancellation of a coroutine could cause spurious idle calls
89 in cede_notself.
90
913.3 Sat Jan 6 03:45:00 CET 2007
92 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
93 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
94 documented and - hopefully - improved.
95 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
96 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
97 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
98 that could errronously trigger.
99 - fix various large and small memleaks.
100 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
101 that immediately frees the coroutine data.
102 - cede/cede_notself return a status now.
103 - added Coro::guard function.
104 - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine,
105 I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async,
106 and 128k coros with async_pool).
107 - Coro::AIO now uses the coroutine priority as io priority.
108
1093.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
110 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
111 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
112 - simplify configuration for users.
113 - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
114 their coro replacements.
115
1163.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006
117 - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even
118 without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should
119 notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :)
120 - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have
121 it. Also noticed by Andreas König :)
122 - save/restore tainted status.
123 - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5.
124
1253.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
126 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
127 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
128 - give a better error message on deadlock.
129 - document Coro::nready.
130 - enhanced testsuite.
131
1323.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006
133 - forgot to include Coro::Timer.
134
1353.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
136 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
137 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
138 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
139 pool (size currently hardcoded).
140 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
141 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
142 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
143 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
144 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
145 check for changed watchers.
146 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
147 per event.
148 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
149 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
150 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
151 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
152 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
153 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
154 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
155 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
156 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
157 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
158 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
159 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
160 - updated to newest libcoro.
161 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
162 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
163 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
164 and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
165 if somebody asks for it :)
166 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
167 spuriously without the event having happened.
168
1692.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
3 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket 170 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
4 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/. 171 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
5 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to 172 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
6 make LWP non-blocking. 173 make LWP non-blocking.
7 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it). 174 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
