|
|
6 | TODO: maybe implement a default message channel, very much like Erlang |
|
|

|
|
8 | but very lacking in others). |

10 | 3.61 Thu Apr 19 12:36:18 CEST 2007 |
|
|
11 | - Coro::Storable caused an endless loop when thawing invalid |
|
|
12 | pst's sometimes. |
|
|
13 | - use a Semaphore in Coro::Storable, as Storable doesn't |
|
|
14 | seem to be reentrant (although it is documented to |
|
|
15 | be threadsafe...). |
|
|
16 | - fix Coro::Signal to bring back the original unreliable |
|
|
17 | but stateful semantics. |
|
|
18 | - fixed a lot of typos in Coro.pm (patch submitted by David |
|
|
19 | Steinbrunner, which applied flawlessly). |
|
|
20 | |
|
|
21 | 3.6 Sat Apr 14 17:13:31 CEST 2007 |
|
|
22 | - added some bugfixes to get eg/myhttpd working again. |
|
|
23 | - added Coro::Storable for often-cede'ing freeze/thaw. |
|
|
24 | - try to do a clean exit when a coroutine calls exit |
|
|
25 | (EXPERIMENTAL). |
|
|
26 | - got rid of indirect call through _coro_init. |
|
|
27 | - updated the partly antique examples in eg/ to |
|
|
28 | work again and be a bit less magic, too. |
|
|
29 | - fixed Coro::Signal semantics to work as documented again. |
|
|
30 | |
|
|
31 | 3.55 Sun Mar 25 01:20:47 CET 2007 |
|
|
32 | - add SAVE_DEFFH to save the default filehandle and enable |
|
|
33 | it by default. |
|
|
34 | - finally move socket-operations from Coro::Socket to Coro::Handle |
|
|
35 | to be able to unblock foreign sockets. |
|
|
36 | - add Coro::State::save_also and guarded_save. |
|
|
37 | - add count accessor to Coro::Semaphore. |
|
|
38 | - add Coro::State::cctx_stacksize. |
|
|
39 | - just for the fun of it, do not rely on implicit context, |
|
|
40 | which can dramatically improve performance, but people |
|
|
41 | using windows-process-emulation perls do not care much about |
|
|
42 | performance. |
|
|
43 | |
|
|
44 | 3.51 Sun Mar 4 14:18:04 CET 2007 |
|
|
45 | - fixed a problem when you weakened references to Coro::State's |
|
|
46 | (patch by Yuval Kogman). |
|
|
47 | |
|
|
48 | 3.501 Wed Feb 28 12:44:07 CET 2007 |
|
|
49 | - rename some global symbols as macosx from hell redefines |
|
|
50 | them without asking. |
|
|
51 | |
|
|
52 | 3.5 Tue Feb 13 20:22:53 CET 2007 |
|
|
53 | - do AnyEvent model detection earlier, avoiding problems |
|
|
54 | caused by first using AnyEvent and later Coro::Event. |
|
|
55 | - implement and document Coro::Event event objects. |
|
|
56 | - fix a potential problem in Coro::Event causing crashes. |
|
|
57 | - initialise PL_comppad when creating a new coroutine, |
|
|
58 | avoids crashes on early coro destruction. |
|
|
59 | |
|
|
60 | 3.41 Mon Jan 22 19:19:49 CET 2007 |
|
|
61 | - readline on Coro::Handle did not support undefined $/, |
|
|
62 | nor did it deliver partial lines on EOF or error. |
|
|
63 | - implement malloc fallback for stack allocation because |
|
|
64 | stupid broken idiotic OSX has a stupid broken |
|
|
65 | idiotic fits-the-whole-os mmap "implementation" and |
|
|
66 | my dick feels longer if Coro is portable even to |
|
|
67 | obsolete platforms. |
|
|
68 | |
|
|
69 | 3.4 Fri Jan 19 21:52:54 CET 2007 |
|
|
70 | - remove t/09_timer.t, as it isn't really testing much |
|
|
71 | but was rather flaky in practise. |
|
|
72 | - async_pool coro would keep arguments and callback alive until |
|
|
73 | it was reused. |
|
|
74 | - cancellation of a coroutine could cause spurious idle calls |
|
|
75 | in cede_notself. |
|
|
76 | |
|
|
77 | 3.3 Sat Jan 6 03:45:00 CET 2007 |
|
|
78 | - implement $coro->on_destroy. |
|
|
79 | - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed, |
|
|
80 | documented and - hopefully - improved. |
|
|
81 | - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority. |
|
|
82 | - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds). |
|
|
83 | - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te") |
|
|
84 | that could errronously trigger. |
|
|
85 | - fix various large and small memleaks. |
|
|
86 | - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation |
|
|
87 | that immediately frees the coroutine data. |
|
|
88 | - cede/cede_notself return a status now. |
|
|
89 | - added Coro::guard function. |
|
|
90 | - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine, |
|
|
91 | I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async, |
|
|
92 | and 128k coros with async_pool). |
|
|
93 | - Coro::AIO now uses the coroutine priority as io priority. |
|
|
94 | |
|
|
95 | 3.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006 |
|
|
96 | - improve portability to slightly older perls. |
|
|
97 | - use cleaner coroutine destruction. |
|
|
98 | - simplify configuration for users. |
|
|
99 | - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over |
|
|
100 | their coro replacements. |
|
|
101 | |
|
|
102 | 3.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006 |
|
|
103 | - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even |
|
|
104 | without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should |
|
|
105 | notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :) |
|
|
106 | - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have |
|
|
107 | it. Also noticed by Andreas König :) |
|
|
108 | - save/restore tainted status. |
|
|
109 | - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5. |
|
|
110 | |
|
|
111 | 3.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006 |
|
|
112 | - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow). |
|
|
113 | - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state. |
|
|
114 | - give a better error message on deadlock. |
|
|
115 | - document Coro::nready. |
|
|
116 | - enhanced testsuite. |
|
|
117 | |
|
|
118 | 3.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006 |
|
|
119 | - forgot to include Coro::Timer. |
|
|
120 | |
|
|
121 | 3.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006 |
|
|
122 | - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon: |
|
|
123 | the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release). |
| 4 | - reimplement a new stack sharing algorithm. |
124 | - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack |
|
|
125 | pool (size currently hardcoded). |
| 5 | - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic). |
126 | - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic). |
| 6 | - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use. |
127 | - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use. |
| 7 | - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but |
128 | - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but |
| 8 | no Coro::Event watchers were used. |
129 | no Coro::Event watchers were used. |
|
|
130 | - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not |
|
|
131 | check for changed watchers. |
|
|
132 | - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one |
|
|
133 | per event. |
| 9 | - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now. |
134 | - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now. |
|
|
135 | - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub. |
|
|
136 | - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant. |
|
|
137 | - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under |
|
|
138 | some circumstances lead to stack corruption. |
| 10 | - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported |
139 | - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported |
| 11 | directly now without going through a _coro_state member. |
140 | directly now without going through a _coro_state member. |
| 12 | - state/coro switching is much faster now. |
141 | - state/coro switching is much faster now. |
| 13 | - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup. |
142 | - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup. |
| 14 | - avoid problems due to compiler inlining. |
143 | - avoid problems due to compiler inlining. |
| 15 | - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead. |
144 | - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead. |
| 16 | - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler. |

147 | - implement enhanced support for valgrind. |
|
|
148 | - implement is_ready and return value for ready. |
|
|
149 | - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators), |
|
|
150 | and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back |
|
|
151 | if somebody asks for it :) |
|
|
152 | - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return |
|
|
153 | spuriously without the event having happened. |
| 19 | |
154 | |
