3TODO: possibly convert some of the Event modules into AnyEvent users. 3TODO: better (earlier) error messages on broken transfer's
4 4
5 - made Coro::Util and Coro::Select use AnyEvent, moved to Coro/. 53.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
6 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
7 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
8 - simplify configuration for users.
9 - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
10 their coro replacements.

123.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006
13 - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even
14 without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should
15 notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :)
16 - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have
17 it. Also noticed by Andreas König :)
18 - save/restore tainted status.
19 - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5.

213.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
22 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
23 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
24 - give a better error message on deadlock.
25 - document Coro::nready.
26 - enhanced testsuite.

283.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006
29 - forgot to include Coro::Timer.

313.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
32 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
33 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
34 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
35 pool (size currently hardcoded).
36 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
37 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
38 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
39 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
40 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
41 check for changed watchers.
42 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
43 per event.
44 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
45 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
46 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
47 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
48 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
49 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
50 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
51 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
52 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
53 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
54 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
55 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
56 - updated to newest libcoro.
57 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
58 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
59 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
60 and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
61 if somebody asks for it :)
62 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
63 spuriously without the event having happened.
64
652.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
66 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
67 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
6 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to 68 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
7 make LWP non-blocking. 69 make LWP non-blocking.
8 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it). 70 - 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. 71 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
10 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine. 72 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
