2 2
30.45 33.0
4 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
5 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
6 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm.
7 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
8 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
9 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
10 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
11 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
12 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
13 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
14 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
15 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
16 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
17 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
18 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
19 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
20 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
21 - updated to newest libcoro.
22 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
23 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
24 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
25 spuriously without the event having happened.
26
272.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
28 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
29 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
30 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
31 make LWP non-blocking.
32 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
33 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
34 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
35 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
36 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
37 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
38 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
39 by LWP(!!).
40 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
41 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
42 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
43 did already.
44
452.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
46 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
47 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
48 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
49 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
50 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
51 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
52 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
53 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
54
552.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
56 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
57
581.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
59
601.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
61 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
62 mark & sweep gc run.
63 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
64
651.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
66 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
67 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
68
691.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
70 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
71 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
72 wrong package.
73 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
74 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
75 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
76 normally uses.
77 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
78
791.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
80 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
81
821.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
83 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
84 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
85 - strict'ify some modules.
86 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
87 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
88 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
89
901.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
91 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
92 when 'l'inux method was used.
93
941.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
95 - some portability fixes/workarounds.
96
971.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
98 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
99 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
100 Coro::State::flush method.
101 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
102
1031.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
104 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
105 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
106 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
107 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
108 - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.
109
1101.11 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
111 - change of contact address.
112
1131.1 Tue Feb 22 20:51:16 CET 2005
114 - support [l]inux method on amd64.
115 - allow some context switches while compiling/eval'ing.
116
1171.0 Tue Aug 10 03:47:27 CEST 2004
118 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
119 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
120 padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
121
1220.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
123 - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
124
1250.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
126 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
127 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
128 as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
129 Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
130 between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
131 fixable).
132 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
133
1340.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
135 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
136 faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
137 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
138 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
139 observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
140 of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
141 pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
142 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
143 - fix for threaded perl.
144
1450.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
146 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
147 memory leaks.
148 - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
149 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
150 hopefully ignoring it "just works".
151
1520.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
153 - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
154 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
155
1560.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
157 - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
158 of new features.
159 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
160 Highly correct stuff, that is...
161 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
162 the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.
163
1640.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
165 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
166 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
167 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
168 so preselect it.
169
1700.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
171 - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost
172 on reading, reported by jason@nichego.net.
173
1740.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
175 - added a README.linux-glibc.
176 - new module Coro::Select.
177 - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
178 (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
179 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
180
1810.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
182 - made lazy context switching the default.
183 - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
184 was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
185 - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
186 - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
187
1880.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
189 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
190 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
191 - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
192 ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
193 - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
194 of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
195
1960.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
197 - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
198 - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
199 could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
200
2010.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
202 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
203 (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
204 without Event, which freezes).
205
2060.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
207 - Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.
208
2090.53 Tue Nov 27 21:11:13 CET 2001
210 - some tests for Event.
211 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
212 and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
213 new ones.
214 - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
215 - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.
216
2170.52 Tue Nov 6 21:36:18 CET 2001
218 - ported to cygwin (trivial).
219 patch by Gerrit P. Haase <gp@familiehaase.de>.
220 - small setjmp code fix by Sullivan.DanielJ@epamail.epa.gov.
221
2220.51 Thu Nov 1 20:39:01 CET 2001
223 - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
224 could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
225 error.
226 - added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
227 - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.
228 - implemented terminate with args + join.
229
2300.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001
231 - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.
232 - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
233 in various modules.
234 - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
235 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.
236
2370.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
238 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
239 inside Coro::Handle.
240 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
241 speed reasons.
242 - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
243 sjlj and ucontext should now work.
244 - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
245 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
246 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.
247 - fixed a bug that caused segfault when returning to main task
248 under some circumstances.
249 - other bugfixes.
250
2510.45 Sun Sep 2 02:54:01 CEST 2001
4 - new method Coro::Handle::timeout. 252 - new method Coro::Handle::timeout.
5 - corrected speling of set...name to get...name in Coro::Socket. 253 - corrected speling of set...name to get...name in Coro::Socket.
6 - Coro::Socket::accept now returns a Coro::Socket, not a Coro::Handle. 254 - Coro::Socket::accept now returns a Coro::Socket, not a Coro::Handle.
7 - Coro::Handle now supports fileno and FILENO. 255 - Coro::Handle now supports fileno and FILENO.
8 - added eg/myhttpd, a web server. 256 - added eg/myhttpd, a web server.
