2TODO: Coro::Select (select) and "" both don'T work
3 2
33.0
4 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
5 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
6 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
7 pool (size currently hardcoded).
8 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
9 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
10 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
11 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
12 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
13 check for changed watchers.
14 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
15 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
16 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
17 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
18 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
19 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
20 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
21 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
22 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
23 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
24 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
25 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
26 - updated to newest libcoro.
27 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
28 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
29 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
30 and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
31 if somebody asks for it :)
32 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
33 spuriously without the event having happened.
34
352.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
36 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
37 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
38 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
39 make LWP non-blocking.
40 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
41 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
42 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
43 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
44 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
45 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
46 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
47 by LWP(!!).
48 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
49 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
50 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
51 did already.
52
532.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
54 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
55 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
56 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
57 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
58 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
59 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
60 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
61 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
62
632.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
64 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
65
661.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
67
681.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
69 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
70 mark & sweep gc run.
71 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
72
731.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
74 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
75 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
76
771.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
78 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
79 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
80 wrong package.
81 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
82 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
83 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
84 normally uses.
85 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
86
871.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
88 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
89
901.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
4 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks. 91 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
92 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
93 - strict'ify some modules.
5 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1. 94 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
95 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
96 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.

71.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005 981.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
8 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64, 99 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
9 when 'l'inux method was used. 100 when 'l'inux method was used.
