5 | 3.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006 |
|
|
6 | - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon: |
|
|
7 | the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release). |
|
|
8 | - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack |
|
|
9 | pool (size currently hardcoded). |
|
|
10 | - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic). |
|
|
11 | - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use. |
|
|
12 | - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but |
|
|
13 | no Coro::Event watchers were used. |
|
|
14 | - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not |
|
|
15 | check for changed watchers. |
|
|
16 | - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one |
|
|
17 | per event. |
|
|
18 | - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now. |
|
|
19 | - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub. |
|
|
20 | - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant. |
|
|
21 | - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under |
|
|
22 | some circumstances lead to stack corruption. |
|
|
23 | - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported |
|
|
24 | directly now without going through a _coro_state member. |
|
|
25 | - state/coro switching is much faster now. |
|
|
26 | - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup. |
|
|
27 | - avoid problems due to compiler inlining. |
|
|
28 | - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead. |
|
|
29 | - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler. |
|
|
30 | - updated to newest libcoro. |
|
|
31 | - implement enhanced support for valgrind. |
|
|
32 | - implement is_ready and return value for ready. |
|
|
33 | - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators), |
|
|
34 | and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back |
|
|
35 | if somebody asks for it :) |
|
|
36 | - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return |
|
|
37 | spuriously without the event having happened. |
|
|

|
39 | 2.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006 |
|
|
40 | - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket |
|
|
41 | use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/. |
|
|
42 | - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to |
|
|
43 | make LWP non-blocking. |
|
|
44 | - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it). |
|
|
45 | - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef. |
|
|
46 | - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine. |
|
|
47 | - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env. |
|
|
48 | - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket. |
|
|
49 | - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket. |
|
|
50 | - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required |
|
|
51 | by LWP(!!). |
|
|
52 | - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's. |
|
|
53 | - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die |
|
|
54 | kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine" |
|
|
55 | did already. |
