30.53 3TODO: transfer flags must be per state
4TODO: better (earlier) error messages on broken transfer's
5
63.
7 - give a better error message on deadlock.
8
93.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006
10 - forgot to include Coro::Timer.
11
123.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
13 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
14 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
15 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
16 pool (size currently hardcoded).
17 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
18 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
19 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
20 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
21 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
22 check for changed watchers.
23 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
24 per event.
25 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
26 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
27 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
28 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
29 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
30 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
31 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
32 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
33 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
34 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
35 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
36 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
37 - updated to newest libcoro.
38 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
39 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
40 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
41 and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
42 if somebody asks for it :)
43 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
44 spuriously without the event having happened.
45
462.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
47 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
48 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
49 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
50 make LWP non-blocking.
51 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
52 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
53 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
54 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
55 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
56 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
57 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
58 by LWP(!!).
59 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
60 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
61 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
62 did already.
63
642.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
65 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
66 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
67 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
68 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
69 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
70 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
71 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
72 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
73
742.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
75 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
76
771.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
78
791.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
80 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
81 mark & sweep gc run.
82 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
83
841.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
85 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
86 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
87
881.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
89 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
90 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
91 wrong package.
92 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
93 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
94 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
95 normally uses.
96 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
97
981.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
99 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
100
1011.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
102 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
103 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
104 - strict'ify some modules.
105 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
106 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
107 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
108
1091.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
110 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
111 when 'l'inux method was used.
112
1131.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
114 - some portability fixes/workarounds.
115
1161.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
117 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
118 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
119 Coro::State::flush method.
120 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
121
1221.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
123 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
124 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
125 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
126 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
127 - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.
128
1291.11 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
130 - change of contact address.
131
1321.1 Tue Feb 22 20:51:16 CET 2005
133 - support [l]inux method on amd64.
134 - allow some context switches while compiling/eval'ing.
135
1361.0 Tue Aug 10 03:47:27 CEST 2004
137 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
138 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
139 padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
140
1410.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
142 - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
143
1440.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
145 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
146 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
147 as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
148 Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
149 between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
150 fixable).
151 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
152
1530.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
154 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
155 faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
156 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
157 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
158 observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
159 of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
160 pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
161 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
162 - fix for threaded perl.
163
1640.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
165 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
166 memory leaks.
167 - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
168 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
169 hopefully ignoring it "just works".
170
1710.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
172 - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
173 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
174
1750.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
176 - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
177 of new features.
178 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
179 Highly correct stuff, that is...
180 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
181 the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.
182
1830.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
184 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
185 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
186 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
187 so preselect it.
188
1890.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
190 - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost
191 on reading, reported by jason@nichego.net.
192
1930.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
194 - added a README.linux-glibc.
195 - new module Coro::Select.
196 - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
197 (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
198 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
199
2000.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
201 - made lazy context switching the default.
202 - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
203 was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
204 - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
205 - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
206
2070.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
208 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
209 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
210 - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
211 ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
212 - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
213 of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
214
2150.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
216 - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
217 - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
218 could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
219
2200.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
221 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
222 (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
223 without Event, which freezes).
224
2250.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
226 - Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.
227
2280.53 Tue Nov 27 21:11:13 CET 2001
4 - some tests for Event. 229 - some tests for Event.
5 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object 230 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
6 and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce 231 and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
7 new ones. 232 new ones.
8 - Coro::Timer (independent of Event). 233 - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
