3TODO: check wether stack-sharing is still effective
4TODO: more effective stack sharing by having one "default stack" for "simple" coroutines?
5TODO: verify exception frame changes and force stack copies?
6
7 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
8 Event watchers were used directly.
9 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
10 - minor documentation cleanup.
11 - very minor optimisations and cleanups.
12 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
13
142.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
15 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
16 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
17 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
18 make LWP non-blocking.
19 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
20 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
21 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
22 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
23 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
24 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
25 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
26 by LWP(!!).
27 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
28 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
29 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
30 did already.
31
322.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
33 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
34 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
35 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
36 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
37 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
38 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
39 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
40 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
41
422.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
43 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
44
451.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
46
471.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
48 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
49 mark & sweep gc run.
50 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
51
521.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
53 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
54 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
55
561.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
57 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
58 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
59 wrong package.
60 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
61 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
62 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
63 normally uses.
64 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
65
661.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
67 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
68
691.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
70 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
71 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
72 - strict'ify some modules.
73 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
74 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
75 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
76
771.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
78 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
79 when 'l'inux method was used.
80
811.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
82 - some portability fixes/workarounds.
83
841.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
85 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
86 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
87 Coro::State::flush method.
88 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
89
901.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
91 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
92 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
93 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
94 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
95 - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.
96
971.11 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
98 - change of contact address.
99
1001.1 Tue Feb 22 20:51:16 CET 2005
101 - support [l]inux method on amd64.
102 - allow some context switches while compiling/eval'ing.
103
1041.0 Tue Aug 10 03:47:27 CEST 2004
105 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
106 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
107 padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
108
1090.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
110 - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
111
1120.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
113 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
114 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
115 as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
116 Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
117 between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
118 fixable).
119 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
120
1210.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
122 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
123 faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
124 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
125 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
126 observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
127 of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
128 pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
129 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
130 - fix for threaded perl.
131
1320.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
133 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
134 memory leaks.
135 - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
136 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
137 hopefully ignoring it "just works".
138
1390.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
140 - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
141 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
142
1430.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
144 - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
145 of new features.
146 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
147 Highly correct stuff, that is...
148 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
149 the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.
150
1510.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
152 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
153 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
154 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
155 so preselect it.
156
1570.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
158 - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost
159 on reading, reported by jason@nichego.net.
160
1610.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
162 - added a README.linux-glibc.
163 - new module Coro::Select.
164 - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
165 (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
166 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
167
1680.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
169 - made lazy context switching the default.
170 - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
171 was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
172 - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
173 - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
174
1750.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
176 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
177 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
178 - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
179 ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
180 - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
181 of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
182
1830.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
184 - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
185 - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
186 could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
187
1880.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
189 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
190 (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
191 without Event, which freezes).
192
1930.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
194 - Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.
195
1960.53 Tue Nov 27 21:11:13 CET 2001
197 - some tests for Event.
198 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
199 and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
200 new ones.
201 - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
202 - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.
203
2040.52 Tue Nov 6 21:36:18 CET 2001
205 - ported to cygwin (trivial).
206 patch by Gerrit P. Haase <gp@familiehaase.de>.
207 - small setjmp code fix by Sullivan.DanielJ@epamail.epa.gov.
208
2090.51 Thu Nov 1 20:39:01 CET 2001
210 - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
211 could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
212 error.
213 - added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
214 - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.
215 - implemented terminate with args + join.
216
2170.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001
218 - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.
219 - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
220 in various modules.
221 - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
222 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.
223
2240.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
225 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
226 inside Coro::Handle.
227 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
228 speed reasons.
229 - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
230 sjlj and ucontext should now work.
231 - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
232 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
233 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.
234 - fixed a bug that caused segfault when returning to main task
235 under some circumstances.
236 - other bugfixes.
237
2380.45 Sun Sep 2 02:54:01 CEST 2001
239 - new method Coro::Handle::timeout.
240 - corrected speling of set...name to get...name in Coro::Socket.
241 - Coro::Socket::accept now returns a Coro::Socket, not a Coro::Handle.
242 - Coro::Handle now supports fileno and FILENO.
243 - added eg/myhttpd, a web server.
244 - Coro::Socket now accepts numeric ports as well as "port(number)"
245 syntax.
246 - moved some scheduling primitives into xs code. more to come.
247 - new simple priority system.
248 - implemented Coro::Event using XS, almost four times faster!
249 - small memory corruption problem fixed (boy that was difficult).
250
2510.13 Wed Aug 8 16:53:07 CEST 2001
252 - new method Coro::Handle::readline.
253 - added eg/lwp and Coro::Handle::autoflush, to make LWP work.
254 (see eg/lwp on how to make LWP non-blocking).
255 - renamed Coro::Socket::new_inet to new.
256 - added Coro::Util, some utility functions.
257 - die/eval now works better (still get annoying (but true ;)
258 "Callback called exit" messages).
259 - Coro::Handle now supports timeout, and Coro::Socket Timeout.
260 - much better Coro::Socket support.
261
2620.12 Fri Jul 27 04:19:01 CEST 2001
263 - do not use mmap if neither MAP_ANON nor MAP_ANONYMOUS is defined.
264 - very experimental stack sharing algorithm. not 100% safe but
265 should work well in practise ;)
266 - added Coro::RWLock.
267 - Coro::Specific now works.
268
2690.11 Tue Jul 24 22:49:21 CEST 2001
270 - added specialized hack for newer and older linux versions (fast).
271 - renamed Coro::Event::IO to Coro::Handle.
272 - new module Coro::Socket.
273
30.10 Tue Jul 24 01:47:53 CEST 2001 2740.1 Tue Jul 24 01:47:53 CEST 2001
