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 - reimplement a new stack sharing algorithm.
8 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
9 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
10 Event watchers were used directly.
11 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
12 - minor incompatibility: subclassing is supported directly now
13 without going through a _coro_state member.
14 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
15 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
16 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
17 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
18 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
19 - updated to newest libcoro.
20
212.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
22 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
23 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
24 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
25 make LWP non-blocking.
26 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
27 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
28 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
29 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
30 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
31 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
32 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
33 by LWP(!!).
34 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
35 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
36 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
37 did already.
38
392.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
40 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
41 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
42 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
43 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
44 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
45 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
46 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
47 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
48
492.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
50 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
51
521.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
53
541.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
55 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
56 mark & sweep gc run.
57 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
58
591.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
60 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
61 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
62
631.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
64 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
65 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
66 wrong package.
67 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
68 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
69 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
70 normally uses.
71 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
72
731.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
74 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
75
761.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
77 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
78 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
79 - strict'ify some modules.
80 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
81 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
82 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
83
841.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
85 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
86 when 'l'inux method was used.
