3TODO: better (earlier) error messages on broken transfer's
4
53.3
6 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
7 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
8 documented and - hopefully - improved.
9 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
10 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
11 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
12 that could errronously trigger.
13
143.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
15 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
16 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
17 - simplify configuration for users.
18 - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
19 their coro replacements.
20
213.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006
22 - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even
23 without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should
24 notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :)
25 - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have
26 it. Also noticed by Andreas König :)
27 - save/restore tainted status.
28 - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5.
29
303.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
31 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
32 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
33 - give a better error message on deadlock.
34 - document Coro::nready.
35 - enhanced testsuite.
36
373.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006
38 - forgot to include Coro::Timer.
39
403.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
41 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
42 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
43 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
44 pool (size currently hardcoded).
45 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
46 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
47 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
48 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
49 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
50 check for changed watchers.
51 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
52 per event.
53 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
54 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
55 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
56 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
57 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
58 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
59 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
60 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
61 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
62 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
63 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
64 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
65 - updated to newest libcoro.
66 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
67 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
68 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
69 and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
70 if somebody asks for it :)
71 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
72 spuriously without the event having happened.
73
742.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
75 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
76 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
77 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
78 make LWP non-blocking.
79 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
80 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
81 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
82 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
83 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
84 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
85 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
86 by LWP(!!).
87 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
88 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
89 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
90 did already.
91
922.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
93 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
94 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
95 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
96 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
97 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
98 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
99 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
100 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
101
1022.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
103 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
104
1051.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
106
1071.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
108 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
109 mark & sweep gc run.
110 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
111
1121.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
113 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
114 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
115
1161.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
117 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
118 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
119 wrong package.
120 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
121 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
122 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
123 normally uses.
124 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
125
1261.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
127 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
128
1291.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
130 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
131 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
132 - strict'ify some modules.
133 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
134 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
135 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
136
1371.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
138 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
139 when 'l'inux method was used.
140
1411.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
142 - some portability fixes/workarounds.

1441.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
145 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
3 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting 146 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
4 Coro::State::flush method. 147 Coro::State::flush method.
148 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.

61.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005 1501.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
7 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability. 151 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
8 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation. 152 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.

23 padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked. 167 padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
