3TODO: better (earlier) error messages on broken transfer's
4TODO: destroy gets only called on cancel: fix(?)
5TODO: fast reloads in cf cause segfaults (coro_state_free->destroy->crash)
6
73.41 Mon Jan 22 19:19:49 CET 2007
8 - readline on Coro::Handle did not support undefined $/,
9 nor did it deliver partial lines on EOF or error.
10 - implement malloc fallback for stack allocation because
11 stupid broken idiotic OSX has a stupid broken
12 idiotic fits-the-whole-os mmap "implementation" and
13 my dick feels longer if Coro is portable even to
14 obsolete platforms.
15
163.4 Fri Jan 19 21:52:54 CET 2007
17 - remove t/09_timer.t, as it isn't really testing much
18 but was rather flaky in practise.
19 - async_pool coro would keep arguments and callback alive until
20 it was reused.
21 - cancellation of a coroutine could cause spurious idle calls
22 in cede_notself.
23
243.3 Sat Jan 6 03:45:00 CET 2007
25 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
26 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
27 documented and - hopefully - improved.
28 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
29 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
30 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
31 that could errronously trigger.
32 - fix various large and small memleaks.
33 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
34 that immediately frees the coroutine data.
35 - cede/cede_notself return a status now.
36 - added Coro::guard function.
37 - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine,
38 I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async,
39 and 128k coros with async_pool).
40 - Coro::AIO now uses the coroutine priority as io priority.
41
423.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
43 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
44 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
45 - simplify configuration for users.
46 - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
47 their coro replacements.
48
493.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006
50 - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even
51 without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should
52 notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :)
53 - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have
54 it. Also noticed by Andreas König :)
55 - save/restore tainted status.
56 - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5.
57
583.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
59 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
60 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
61 - give a better error message on deadlock.
62 - document Coro::nready.
63 - enhanced testsuite.
64
653.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006
66 - forgot to include Coro::Timer.
67
683.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
69 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
70 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
71 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
72 pool (size currently hardcoded).
73 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
74 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
75 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
76 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
77 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
78 check for changed watchers.
79 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
80 per event.
81 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
82 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
83 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
84 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
85 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
86 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
87 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
88 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
89 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
90 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
91 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
92 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
93 - updated to newest libcoro.
94 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
95 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
96 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
97 and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
98 if somebody asks for it :)
99 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
100 spuriously without the event having happened.
101
1022.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
103 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
104 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
105 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
106 make LWP non-blocking.
107 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
108 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
109 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
110 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
111 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
112 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
113 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
114 by LWP(!!).
115 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
116 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
117 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
118 did already.
119
1202.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
121 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
122 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
123 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
124 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
125 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
126 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
127 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
128 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
129
1302.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
131 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
132
1331.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
134
1351.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
136 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
137 mark & sweep gc run.
138 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
139
1401.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
141 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
142 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
143
1441.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
145 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
146 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
147 wrong package.
148 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
149 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
150 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
151 normally uses.
152 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
153
1541.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
155 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
156
1571.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
158 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
159 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
160 - strict'ify some modules.
161 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
162 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
163 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
164
1651.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
166 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
167 when 'l'inux method was used.
168
1691.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
170 - some portability fixes/workarounds.
171
1721.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
173 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
174 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
175 Coro::State::flush method.
176 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
177
1781.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
179 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
180 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
181 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
182 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
183 - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.
184
1851.11 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
186 - change of contact address.
187
1881.1 Tue Feb 22 20:51:16 CET 2005
189 - support [l]inux method on amd64.
190 - allow some context switches while compiling/eval'ing.
191
1921.0 Tue Aug 10 03:47:27 CEST 2004
193 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
194 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
195 padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
196
1970.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
198 - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
199
2000.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
201 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
202 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
203 as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
204 Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
205 between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
206 fixable).
207 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
208
2090.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
210 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
211 faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
212 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
213 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
214 observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
215 of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
216 pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
217 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
218 - fix for threaded perl.
219
2200.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
221 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
222 memory leaks.
223 - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
224 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
225 hopefully ignoring it "just works".
226
2270.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
228 - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
229 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
230
2310.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
232 - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
233 of new features.
234 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
235 Highly correct stuff, that is...
236 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
237 the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.
238
2390.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
240 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
241 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
242 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
243 so preselect it.
244
2450.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
246 - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost
247 on reading, reported by jason@nichego.net.
248
2490.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
250 - added a README.linux-glibc.
251 - new module Coro::Select.
252 - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
253 (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
254 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
255
2560.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
257 - made lazy context switching the default.
258 - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
259 was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
260 - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
261 - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
262
2630.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
264 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
265 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
266 - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
267 ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
268 - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
269 of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
270
2710.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
272 - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
273 - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
274 could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
275
2760.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
277 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
278 (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
279 without Event, which freezes).
280
2810.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
282 - Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.
283
2840.53 Tue Nov 27 21:11:13 CET 2001
285 - some tests for Event.
286 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
287 and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
288 new ones.
289 - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
290 - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.
291
2920.52 Tue Nov 6 21:36:18 CET 2001
293 - ported to cygwin (trivial).
294 patch by Gerrit P. Haase <gp@familiehaase.de>.
295 - small setjmp code fix by Sullivan.DanielJ@epamail.epa.gov.
296
2970.51 Thu Nov 1 20:39:01 CET 2001
298 - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
299 could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
300 error.
301 - added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
302 - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.
303 - implemented terminate with args + join.
304
3050.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001
306 - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.
307 - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
308 in various modules.
309 - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
310 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.
2 311
30.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001 3120.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
4 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed 313 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
5 inside Coro::Handle. 314 inside Coro::Handle.
6 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for 315 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
