2 2
3TODO: Coro::Select (select) and "" both don'T work 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 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
13 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
14 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
15 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
16 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
17 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
18 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
19 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
20 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
21 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
22 - updated to newest libcoro.
23 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
24 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
25 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
26 spuriously without the event having happened.

282.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
29 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
30 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
31 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
32 make LWP non-blocking.
33 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
34 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
35 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
36 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
37 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
38 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
39 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
40 by LWP(!!).
41 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
42 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
43 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
44 did already.
45
462.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
47 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
48 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
49 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
50 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
51 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
52 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
53 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
54 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
55
562.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
57 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
58
591.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
60
611.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
62 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
63 mark & sweep gc run.
64 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
65
661.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
67 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
68 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
69
701.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
71 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
72 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
73 wrong package.
74 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
75 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
76 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
77 normally uses.
78 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
79
801.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
81 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
82
831.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
84 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
85 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
86 - strict'ify some modules.
5 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1. 87 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
88 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
89 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.

71.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005 911.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
8 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64, 92 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
9 when 'l'inux method was used. 93 when 'l'inux method was used.
