1Revision history for Perl extension Coro. 1Revision history for Perl extension Coro.
2 2
3TODO: better (earlier) error messages on broken transfer's 3TODO: should explore PerlIO::via::CoroCede and PerlIO::via::CoroAIO.
4TODO: maybe implement a default message channel, very much like Erlang
5 (which is cool in a lot of important aspects (failures!),
6 but very lacking in others (higher level ipc)).

53.3 84.01 Fri Oct 5 22:10:49 CEST 2007
9 - use a different, less descriptive but hopefully more robust way
10 to create the stdout glob for a newly created coroutine.
11
124.0 Fri Oct 5 12:56:00 CEST 2007
13 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze.
14 - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine
15 debugging, tracing and much more.
16 - major bug fix: unbelievable, but true: $_, $/ and many other
17 "saved" variables actually weren't being saved. This has been fixed,
18 of course, while increasing performance while losing all the save
19 flags.
20 - save flags are gone, and all the api functions dealing with them.
21 - added Coro::Semaphore::adjust.
22 - added Coro::Util::fork_eval.
23 - added Coro::Storable::{nfreeze,blocking_{freeze,nfreeze}}.
24 - added Coro::killall.
25 - reduce initial stack sizes to allow for "micro-coroutines".
26 - better async_pool resource management, moved parts of async_pool
27 handling to XS (major speed improvement).
28 - actually croak before modifying important data structures.
29 - refuse to transfer while compiling.
30 - possibly support eval EXPR better now.
31 - enable assembly per default on linux+bsd x86+amd64.
32 - all internal members were renamed _something for easier subclassing.
33 - many minor tweaks.
34
353.63 Wed May 16 14:10:06 CEST 2007
36 - implement handcoded assembly for x86/amd64 SVR ABI.
37
383.62 Fri Apr 27 21:36:06 CEST 2007
39 - upgrade libcoro (which might set unwind info correctly).
40 - change default on linux to setjmp/longjmp.
41
423.61 Thu Apr 19 12:36:18 CEST 2007
43 - Coro::Storable caused an endless loop when thawing invalid
44 pst's sometimes.
45 - use a Semaphore in Coro::Storable, as Storable doesn't
46 seem to be reentrant (although it is documented to
47 be threadsafe...).
48 - fix Coro::Signal to bring back the original unreliable
49 but stateful semantics.
50 - fixed a lot of typos in Coro.pm (patch submitted by David
51 Steinbrunner, which applied flawlessly).
52
533.6 Sat Apr 14 17:13:31 CEST 2007
54 - added some bugfixes to get eg/myhttpd working again.
55 - added Coro::Storable for often-cede'ing freeze/thaw.
56 - try to do a clean exit when a coroutine calls exit
57 (EXPERIMENTAL).
58 - got rid of indirect call through _coro_init.
59 - updated the partly antique examples in eg/ to
60 work again and be a bit less magic, too.
61 - fixed Coro::Signal semantics to work as documented again.
62
633.55 Sun Mar 25 01:20:47 CET 2007
64 - add SAVE_DEFFH to save the default filehandle and enable
65 it by default.
66 - finally move socket-operations from Coro::Socket to Coro::Handle
67 to be able to unblock foreign sockets.
68 - add Coro::State::save_also and guarded_save.
69 - add count accessor to Coro::Semaphore.
70 - add Coro::State::cctx_stacksize.
71 - just for the fun of it, do not rely on implicit context,
72 which can dramatically improve performance, but people
73 using windows-process-emulation perls do not care much about
74 performance.
75
763.51 Sun Mar 4 14:18:04 CET 2007
77 - fixed a problem when you weakened references to Coro::State's
78 (patch by Yuval Kogman).
79
803.501 Wed Feb 28 12:44:07 CET 2007
81 - rename some global symbols as macosx from hell redefines
82 them without asking.
83
843.5 Tue Feb 13 20:22:53 CET 2007
85 - do AnyEvent model detection earlier, avoiding problems
86 caused by first using AnyEvent and later Coro::Event.
87 - implement and document Coro::Event event objects.
88 - fix a potential problem in Coro::Event causing crashes.
89 - initialise PL_comppad when creating a new coroutine,
90 avoids crashes on early coro destruction.
91
923.41 Mon Jan 22 19:19:49 CET 2007
93 - readline on Coro::Handle did not support undefined $/,
94 nor did it deliver partial lines on EOF or error.
95 - implement malloc fallback for stack allocation because
96 stupid broken idiotic OSX has a stupid broken
97 idiotic fits-the-whole-os mmap "implementation" and
98 my dick feels longer if Coro is portable even to
99 obsolete platforms.
100
1013.4 Fri Jan 19 21:52:54 CET 2007
102 - remove t/09_timer.t, as it isn't really testing much
103 but was rather flaky in practise.
104 - async_pool coro would keep arguments and callback alive until
105 it was reused.
106 - cancellation of a coroutine could cause spurious idle calls
107 in cede_notself.
108
1093.3 Sat Jan 6 03:45:00 CET 2007
6 - implement $coro->on_destroy. 110 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
7 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed, 111 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
8 documented and - hopefully - improved. 112 documented and - hopefully - improved.
9 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority. 113 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
10 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds). 114 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
115 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
116 that could errronously trigger.
117 - fix various large and small memleaks.
118 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
119 that immediately frees the coroutine data.
120 - cede/cede_notself return a status now.
121 - added Coro::guard function.
122 - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine,
123 I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async,
124 and 128k coros with async_pool).
125 - Coro::AIO now uses the coroutine priority as io priority.

123.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006 1273.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
13 - improve portability to slightly older perls. 128 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
14 - use cleaner coroutine destruction. 129 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
15 - simplify configuration for users. 130 - simplify configuration for users.
