2 2
30.49 33.0
4 - reimplement a new stack sharing algorithm.
5 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
6 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
7 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
8 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
9 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
10 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
11 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
12 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
13 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
14 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
15 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
16 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
17 - updated to newest libcoro.
18 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
19
202.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
21 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
22 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
23 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
24 make LWP non-blocking.
25 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
26 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
27 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
28 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
29 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
30 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
31 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
32 by LWP(!!).
33 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
34 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
35 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
36 did already.
37
382.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
39 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
40 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
41 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
42 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
43 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
44 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
45 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
46 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
47
482.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
49 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
50
511.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
52
531.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
54 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
55 mark & sweep gc run.
56 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
57
581.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
59 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
60 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
61
621.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
63 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
64 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
65 wrong package.
66 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
67 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
68 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
69 normally uses.
70 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
71
721.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
73 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
74
751.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
76 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
77 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
78 - strict'ify some modules.
79 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
80 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
81 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
82
831.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
84 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
85 when 'l'inux method was used.
86
871.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
88 - some portability fixes/workarounds.
89
901.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
91 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
92 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
93 Coro::State::flush method.
94 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
95
961.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
97 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
98 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
99 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
100 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
101 - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.
102
1031.11 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
104 - change of contact address.
105
1061.1 Tue Feb 22 20:51:16 CET 2005
107 - support [l]inux method on amd64.
108 - allow some context switches while compiling/eval'ing.
109
1101.0 Tue Aug 10 03:47:27 CEST 2004
111 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
112 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
113 padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
114
1150.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
116 - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
117
1180.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
119 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
120 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
121 as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
122 Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
123 between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
124 fixable).
125 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
126
1270.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
128 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
129 faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
130 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
131 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
132 observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
133 of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
134 pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
135 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
136 - fix for threaded perl.
137
1380.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
139 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
140 memory leaks.
141 - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
142 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
143 hopefully ignoring it "just works".
144
1450.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
146 - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
147 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
148
1490.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
150 - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
151 of new features.
152 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
153 Highly correct stuff, that is...
154 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
155 the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.
156
1570.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
158 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
159 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
160 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
161 so preselect it.
162
1630.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
164 - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost
165 on reading, reported by jason@nichego.net.
166
1670.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
168 - added a README.linux-glibc.
169 - new module Coro::Select.
170 - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
171 (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
172 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
173
1740.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
175 - made lazy context switching the default.
176 - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
177 was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
178 - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
179 - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
180
1810.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
182 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
183 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
184 - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
185 ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
186 - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
187 of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
188
1890.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
190 - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
191 - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
192 could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
193
1940.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
195 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
196 (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
197 without Event, which freezes).
198
1990.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
200 - Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.
201
2020.53 Tue Nov 27 21:11:13 CET 2001
203 - some tests for Event.
204 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
205 and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
206 new ones.
207 - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
208 - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.
209
2100.52 Tue Nov 6 21:36:18 CET 2001
211 - ported to cygwin (trivial).
212 patch by Gerrit P. Haase <gp@familiehaase.de>.
213 - small setjmp code fix by Sullivan.DanielJ@epamail.epa.gov.
214
2150.51 Thu Nov 1 20:39:01 CET 2001
216 - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
217 could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
218 error.
219 - added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
220 - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.
221 - implemented terminate with args + join.
222
2230.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001
224 - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.
225 - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
226 in various modules.
227 - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
228 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.
229
2300.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
4 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed 231 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
5 inside Coro::Handle. 232 inside Coro::Handle.
6 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for 233 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
7 speed reasons. 234 speed reasons.
8 - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?". 235 - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
