30.49 3TODO: transfer flags must be per state
4
53.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006
6 - forgot to include Coro::Timer.
7
83.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
9 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
10 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
11 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
12 pool (size currently hardcoded).
13 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
14 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
15 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
16 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
17 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
18 check for changed watchers.
19 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
20 per event.
21 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
22 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
23 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
24 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
25 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
26 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
27 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
28 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
29 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
30 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
31 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
32 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
33 - updated to newest libcoro.
34 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
35 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
36 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
37 and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
38 if somebody asks for it :)
39 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
40 spuriously without the event having happened.
41
422.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
43 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
44 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
45 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
46 make LWP non-blocking.
47 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
48 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
49 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
50 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
51 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
52 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
53 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
54 by LWP(!!).
55 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
56 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
57 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
58 did already.
59
602.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
61 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
62 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
63 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
64 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
65 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
66 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
67 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
68 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
69
702.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
71 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
72
731.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
74
751.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
76 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
77 mark & sweep gc run.
78 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
79
801.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
81 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
82 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
83
841.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
85 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
86 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
87 wrong package.
88 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
89 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
90 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
91 normally uses.
92 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
93
941.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
95 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
96
971.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
98 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
99 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
100 - strict'ify some modules.
101 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
102 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
103 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
104
1051.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
106 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
107 when 'l'inux method was used.
108
1091.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
110 - some portability fixes/workarounds.
111
1121.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
113 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
114 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
115 Coro::State::flush method.
116 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
117
1181.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
119 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
120 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
121 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
122 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
123 - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.
124
1251.11 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
126 - change of contact address.
127
1281.1 Tue Feb 22 20:51:16 CET 2005
129 - support [l]inux method on amd64.
130 - allow some context switches while compiling/eval'ing.
131
1321.0 Tue Aug 10 03:47:27 CEST 2004
133 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
134 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
135 padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
136
1370.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
138 - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
139
1400.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
141 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
142 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
143 as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
144 Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
145 between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
146 fixable).
147 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
148
1490.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
150 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
151 faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
152 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
153 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
154 observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
155 of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
156 pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
157 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
158 - fix for threaded perl.
159
1600.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
161 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
162 memory leaks.
163 - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
164 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
165 hopefully ignoring it "just works".
166
1670.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
168 - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
169 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
170
1710.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
172 - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
173 of new features.
174 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
175 Highly correct stuff, that is...
176 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
177 the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.
178
1790.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
180 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
181 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
182 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
183 so preselect it.
184
1850.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
186 - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost
187 on reading, reported by jason@nichego.net.
188
1890.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
190 - added a README.linux-glibc.
191 - new module Coro::Select.
192 - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
193 (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
194 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
195
1960.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
197 - made lazy context switching the default.
198 - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
199 was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
200 - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
201 - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
202
2030.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
204 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
205 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
206 - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
207 ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
208 - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
209 of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
210
2110.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
212 - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
213 - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
214 could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
215
2160.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
217 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
218 (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
219 without Event, which freezes).
220
2210.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
222 - Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.
223
2240.53 Tue Nov 27 21:11:13 CET 2001
225 - some tests for Event.
226 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
227 and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
228 new ones.
229 - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
230 - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.
231
2320.52 Tue Nov 6 21:36:18 CET 2001
233 - ported to cygwin (trivial).
234 patch by Gerrit P. Haase <gp@familiehaase.de>.
235 - small setjmp code fix by Sullivan.DanielJ@epamail.epa.gov.
236
2370.51 Thu Nov 1 20:39:01 CET 2001
238 - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
239 could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
240 error.
241 - added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
242 - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.
243 - implemented terminate with args + join.
244
2450.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001
246 - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.
247 - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
248 in various modules.
249 - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
250 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.
251
2520.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
4 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed 253 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
5 inside Coro::Handle. 254 inside Coro::Handle.
255 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
256 speed reasons.
257 - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
258 sjlj and ucontext should now work.
259 - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
260 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
261 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.
262 - fixed a bug that caused segfault when returning to main task
263 under some circumstances.
264 - other bugfixes.
6 265
70.45 Sun Sep 2 02:54:01 CEST 2001 2660.45 Sun Sep 2 02:54:01 CEST 2001
8 - new method Coro::Handle::timeout. 267 - new method Coro::Handle::timeout.
9 - corrected speling of set...name to get...name in Coro::Socket. 268 - corrected speling of set...name to get...name in Coro::Socket.
10 - Coro::Socket::accept now returns a Coro::Socket, not a Coro::Handle. 269 - Coro::Socket::accept now returns a Coro::Socket, not a Coro::Handle.
