3TODO: better (earlier) error messages on broken transfer's
4TODO: destroy gets only called on cancel: fix(?) 3TODO: destroy gets only called on cancel: fix(?)
4TODO: should explore PerlIO::via::CoroCede and PerlIO::via::CoroAIO.
5TODO: maybe implement a default message channel, very much like Erlang
6 (which is cool in a lot of important aspects (failures!),
7 but very lacking in others).

63.3 93.8
10 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze.
11 - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine
12 debugging, tracing and much more.
13 - added Coro::Semaphore::adjust.
14 - added Coro::Util::fork_eval.
15 - added Coro::Storable::{nfreeze,blocking_{freeze,nfreeze}}.
16 - reduce initial stack sizes to allow for "micro-coroutines".
17 - better async_pool resource management, moved parts of async_pool
18 handling to XS (major speed improvement).
19 - actually croak before modifying important data structures.
20 - refuse to transfer while compiling.
21 - possibly support eval EXPR better now.
22 - many minor tweaks.
23
243.63 Wed May 16 14:10:06 CEST 2007
25 - implement handcoded assembly for x86/amd64 SVR ABI.
26
273.62 Fri Apr 27 21:36:06 CEST 2007
28 - upgrade libcoro (which might set unwind info correctly).
29 - change default on linux to setjmp/longjmp.
30
313.61 Thu Apr 19 12:36:18 CEST 2007
32 - Coro::Storable caused an endless loop when thawing invalid
33 pst's sometimes.
34 - use a Semaphore in Coro::Storable, as Storable doesn't
35 seem to be reentrant (although it is documented to
36 be threadsafe...).
37 - fix Coro::Signal to bring back the original unreliable
38 but stateful semantics.
39 - fixed a lot of typos in Coro.pm (patch submitted by David
40 Steinbrunner, which applied flawlessly).
41
423.6 Sat Apr 14 17:13:31 CEST 2007
43 - added some bugfixes to get eg/myhttpd working again.
44 - added Coro::Storable for often-cede'ing freeze/thaw.
45 - try to do a clean exit when a coroutine calls exit
46 (EXPERIMENTAL).
47 - got rid of indirect call through _coro_init.
48 - updated the partly antique examples in eg/ to
49 work again and be a bit less magic, too.
50 - fixed Coro::Signal semantics to work as documented again.
51
523.55 Sun Mar 25 01:20:47 CET 2007
53 - add SAVE_DEFFH to save the default filehandle and enable
54 it by default.
55 - finally move socket-operations from Coro::Socket to Coro::Handle
56 to be able to unblock foreign sockets.
57 - add Coro::State::save_also and guarded_save.
58 - add count accessor to Coro::Semaphore.
59 - add Coro::State::cctx_stacksize.
60 - just for the fun of it, do not rely on implicit context,
61 which can dramatically improve performance, but people
62 using windows-process-emulation perls do not care much about
63 performance.
64
653.51 Sun Mar 4 14:18:04 CET 2007
66 - fixed a problem when you weakened references to Coro::State's
67 (patch by Yuval Kogman).
68
693.501 Wed Feb 28 12:44:07 CET 2007
70 - rename some global symbols as macosx from hell redefines
71 them without asking.
72
733.5 Tue Feb 13 20:22:53 CET 2007
74 - do AnyEvent model detection earlier, avoiding problems
75 caused by first using AnyEvent and later Coro::Event.
76 - implement and document Coro::Event event objects.
77 - fix a potential problem in Coro::Event causing crashes.
78 - initialise PL_comppad when creating a new coroutine,
79 avoids crashes on early coro destruction.
80
813.41 Mon Jan 22 19:19:49 CET 2007
82 - readline on Coro::Handle did not support undefined $/,
83 nor did it deliver partial lines on EOF or error.
84 - implement malloc fallback for stack allocation because
85 stupid broken idiotic OSX has a stupid broken
86 idiotic fits-the-whole-os mmap "implementation" and
87 my dick feels longer if Coro is portable even to
88 obsolete platforms.
89
903.4 Fri Jan 19 21:52:54 CET 2007
91 - remove t/09_timer.t, as it isn't really testing much
92 but was rather flaky in practise.
93 - async_pool coro would keep arguments and callback alive until
94 it was reused.
95 - cancellation of a coroutine could cause spurious idle calls
96 in cede_notself.
97
983.3 Sat Jan 6 03:45:00 CET 2007
7 - implement $coro->on_destroy. 99 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
8 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed, 100 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
9 documented and - hopefully - improved. 101 documented and - hopefully - improved.
10 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority. 102 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
11 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds). 103 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
12 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te") 104 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
13 that could errronously trigger. 105 that could errronously trigger.
14 - fix various large and small memleaks. 106 - fix various large and small memleaks.
15 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation 107 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
16 that immediately frees the coroutine data. 108 that immediately frees the coroutine data.
109 - cede/cede_notself return a status now.
17 - added Coro::guard function. 110 - added Coro::guard function.
111 - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine,
112 I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async,
113 and 128k coros with async_pool).
114 - Coro::AIO now uses the coroutine priority as io priority.

193.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006 1163.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
