2 2
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 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
10 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
11 Event watchers were used directly.
12 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
13 - minor incompatibility: subclassing is supported directly now
14 without going through a _coro_state member.
15 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
16 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
17 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
18 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
19 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
20 - updated to newest libcoro.
21
222.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
23 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
24 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
25 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
26 make LWP non-blocking.
27 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
28 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
29 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
30 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
31 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
32 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
33 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
34 by LWP(!!).
35 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
36 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
37 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
38 did already.
39
402.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
41 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
42 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
43 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
44 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
45 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
46 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
47 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
48 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
49
502.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
51 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
52
531.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
54
551.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
56 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
57 mark & sweep gc run.
58 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
59
601.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
61 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
62 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
63
641.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
65 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
66 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
67 wrong package.
68 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
69 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
70 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
71 normally uses.
72 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
73
741.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
75 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
76
771.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
78 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
79 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
80 - strict'ify some modules.
81 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
82 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
83 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
84
851.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
86 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
87 when 'l'inux method was used.
88
891.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
90 - some portability fixes/workarounds.
91
921.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
93 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
94 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
95 Coro::State::flush method.
96 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
97
981.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
99 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
100 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
101 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
102 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
103 - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.
104
1051.11 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
106 - change of contact address.
107
1081.1 Tue Feb 22 20:51:16 CET 2005
109 - support [l]inux method on amd64.
110 - allow some context switches while compiling/eval'ing.
111
1121.0 Tue Aug 10 03:47:27 CEST 2004
113 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
114 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
115 padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
116
1170.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
118 - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
