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

48 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
49 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
6 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to 50 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
7 make LWP non-blocking. 51 make LWP non-blocking.
8 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it). 52 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
9 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef. 53 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
10 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine. 54 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
12 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket. 56 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
13 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket. 57 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
14 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required 58 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
15 by LWP(!!). 59 by LWP(!!).
16 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's. 60 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
17 - made Coro::Util an AnyEvent user, moved it to Coro/.
18 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die 61 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
19 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine" 62 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
