1Revision history for Perl extension Coro. 1Revision history for Perl extension Coro.
2 2
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
7 - do AnyEvent model detection earlier, avoiding problems
8 caused by first using AnyEvent and later Coro::Event.

103.41 Mon Jan 22 19:19:49 CET 2007
11 - readline on Coro::Handle did not support undefined $/,
12 nor did it deliver partial lines on EOF or error.
13 - implement malloc fallback for stack allocation because
14 stupid broken idiotic OSX has a stupid broken
15 idiotic fits-the-whole-os mmap "implementation" and
16 my dick feels longer if Coro is portable even to
17 obsolete platforms.

193.4 Fri Jan 19 21:52:54 CET 2007
20 - remove t/09_timer.t, as it isn't really testing much
21 but was rather flaky in practise.
22 - async_pool coro would keep arguments and callback alive until
23 it was reused.
24 - cancellation of a coroutine could cause spurious idle calls
25 in cede_notself.
26
273.3 Sat Jan 6 03:45:00 CET 2007
28 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
29 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
30 documented and - hopefully - improved.
31 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
32 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
33 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
34 that could errronously trigger.
35 - fix various large and small memleaks.
36 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
37 that immediately frees the coroutine data.
38 - cede/cede_notself return a status now.
39 - added Coro::guard function.
40 - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine,
41 I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async,
42 and 128k coros with async_pool).
43 - Coro::AIO now uses the coroutine priority as io priority.
44
453.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
46 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
47 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
48 - simplify configuration for users.
49 - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
50 their coro replacements.
51
523.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006
53 - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even
54 without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should
55 notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :)
56 - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have
57 it. Also noticed by Andreas König :)
58 - save/restore tainted status.
59 - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5.
60
613.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
62 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
63 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
64 - give a better error message on deadlock.
65 - document Coro::nready.
66 - enhanced testsuite.
67
683.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006
69 - forgot to include Coro::Timer.
70
713.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
72 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
73 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
3 - reimplement a new stack sharing algorithm. 74 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
75 pool (size currently hardcoded).
4 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic). 76 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
5 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use. 77 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
6 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but 78 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
7 Event watchers were used directly. 79 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
80 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
81 check for changed watchers.
82 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
83 per event.
8 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now. 84 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
85 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
86 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
87 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
88 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
9 - minor incompatibility: subclassing is supported directly now 89 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
10 without going through a _coro_state member. 90 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
11 - state/coro switching is much faster now. 91 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
12 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup. 92 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
13 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining. 93 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
14 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead. 94 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
15 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler. 95 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
16 - updated to newest libcoro. 96 - updated to newest libcoro.
17 - implement enhanced support for valgrind. 97 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
98 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
99 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
100 and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
101 if somebody asks for it :)
102 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
103 spuriously without the event having happened.
