1Revision history for Perl extension Coro. 1Revision history for Perl extension Coro.
2 2
33.0 3TODO: better (earlier) error messages on broken transfer's
4TODO: destroy gets only called on cancel: fix(?)
5
63.52
7 - add count accessor to Coro::Semaphore.
8 - add Coro::State::cctx_stacksize.
9 - just for the fun of it, do not rely on implicit context,
10 which can dramatically improve performance, but people
11 using windows-process-emulation perls do not care much about
12 performance.
13
143.51 Sun Mar 4 14:18:04 CET 2007
15 - fixed a problem when you weakened references to Coro::State's
16 (patch by Yuval Kogman).
17
183.501 Wed Feb 28 12:44:07 CET 2007
19 - rename some global symbols as macosx from hell redefines
20 them without asking.
21
223.5 Tue Feb 13 20:22:53 CET 2007
23 - do AnyEvent model detection earlier, avoiding problems
24 caused by first using AnyEvent and later Coro::Event.
25 - implement and document Coro::Event event objects.
26 - fix a potential problem in Coro::Event causing crashes.
27 - initialise PL_comppad when creating a new coroutine,
28 avoids crashes on early coro destruction.
29
303.41 Mon Jan 22 19:19:49 CET 2007
31 - readline on Coro::Handle did not support undefined $/,
32 nor did it deliver partial lines on EOF or error.
33 - implement malloc fallback for stack allocation because
34 stupid broken idiotic OSX has a stupid broken
35 idiotic fits-the-whole-os mmap "implementation" and
36 my dick feels longer if Coro is portable even to
37 obsolete platforms.
38
393.4 Fri Jan 19 21:52:54 CET 2007
40 - remove t/09_timer.t, as it isn't really testing much
41 but was rather flaky in practise.
42 - async_pool coro would keep arguments and callback alive until
43 it was reused.
44 - cancellation of a coroutine could cause spurious idle calls
45 in cede_notself.
46
473.3 Sat Jan 6 03:45:00 CET 2007
48 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
49 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
50 documented and - hopefully - improved.
51 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
52 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
53 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
54 that could errronously trigger.
55 - fix various large and small memleaks.
56 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
57 that immediately frees the coroutine data.
58 - cede/cede_notself return a status now.
59 - added Coro::guard function.
60 - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine,
61 I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async,
62 and 128k coros with async_pool).
63 - Coro::AIO now uses the coroutine priority as io priority.
64
653.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
66 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
67 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
68 - simplify configuration for users.
69 - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
70 their coro replacements.
71
723.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006
73 - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even
74 without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should
75 notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :)
76 - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have
77 it. Also noticed by Andreas König :)
78 - save/restore tainted status.
79 - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5.
80
813.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
82 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
83 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
84 - give a better error message on deadlock.
85 - document Coro::nready.
86 - enhanced testsuite.
87
883.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006
89 - forgot to include Coro::Timer.
90
913.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
92 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
93 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
4 - reimplement a new stack sharing algorithm. 94 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
95 pool (size currently hardcoded).
5 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic). 96 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
6 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use. 97 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
7 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but 98 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
8 no Coro::Event watchers were used. 99 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
100 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
101 check for changed watchers.
102 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
103 per event.
9 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now. 104 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
105 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
106 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
107 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
108 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
10 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported 109 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
11 directly now without going through a _coro_state member. 110 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
12 - state/coro switching is much faster now. 111 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
13 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup. 112 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
14 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining. 113 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
15 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead. 114 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
16 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler. 115 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
17 - updated to newest libcoro. 116 - updated to newest libcoro.
18 - implement enhanced support for valgrind. 117 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
118 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
119 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
120 and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
121 if somebody asks for it :)
122 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
123 spuriously without the event having happened.

21 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket 126 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
22 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/. 127 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
