2 2
32.1 33.0
4TODO: aioreq_pri etc. 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 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
13 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
14 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
15 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
16 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
17 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
18 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
19 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
20 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
21 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
22 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
23 - updated to newest libcoro.
24 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
25 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
26 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
27 spuriously without the event having happened.

292.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
30 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
31 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
32 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
33 make LWP non-blocking.
34 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
35 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
36 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
37 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
38 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
39 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
40 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
41 by LWP(!!).
42 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
43 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
44 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
45 did already.
46
472.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
48 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
49 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
5 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists 50 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
6 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own). 51 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
7 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures. 52 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
53 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
8 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X, 54 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
9 pach by Michael Schwern. 55 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
10 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
11 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
