2 | |
| 3 | TODO: better (earlier) error messages on broken transfer's |
3 | TODO: localise SIG{__DIE__} and/or __WARN__ |
| 4 | TODO: destroy gets only called on cancel: fix(?) |
4 | TODO: should explore PerlIO::via::CoroCede and PerlIO::via::CoroAIO. |
|
|
5 | TODO: 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 (higher level ipc)). |
| 5 | |
8 | |
| 6 | 3.5 |
9 | 4.1 |
|
|
10 | - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now |
|
|
11 | be local to each coro (see Coro::State). |
|
|
12 | - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested). |
|
|
13 | - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(. |
|
|
14 | - overlay the saved state over the context stack. This saves |
|
|
15 | a few hundred bytes per coroutine on average and also |
|
|
16 | speeds up context switching a bit. |
|
|
17 | - further tune default stack sizes. |
|
|
18 | - (more) correctly calculate stack usage in coro_rss. |
|
|
19 | |
|
|
20 | 4.03 Sat Oct 6 21:24:00 CEST 2007 |
|
|
21 | - added Coro::throw method. |
|
|
22 | - minor code cleanups. |
|
|
23 | |
|
|
24 | 4.02 Sat Oct 6 02:36:47 CEST 2007 |
|
|
25 | - fix a very minor per-coroutine memleak (a single codereference). |
|
|
26 | - fixed a bug where the currently in-use c context would be freed |
|
|
27 | prematurely (can happen only when programs change the stacksize |
|
|
28 | or use tracing). |
|
|
29 | - tracing can no longer keep a coro alive after it terminated. |
|
|
30 | - do static branch prediction in the common path for gcc. gives |
|
|
31 | about 2-5% speed improvement here. |
|
|
32 | |
|
|
33 | 4.01 Fri Oct 5 22:10:49 CEST 2007 |
|
|
34 | - instead of recreating *a* standard output handle we simply |
|
|
35 | use STDOUT, which is faster and hopefully more robust. |
|
|
36 | |
|
|
37 | 4.0 Fri Oct 5 12:56:00 CEST 2007 |
|
|
38 | - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze. |
|
|
39 | - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine |
|
|
40 | debugging, tracing and much more. |
|
|
41 | - major bug fix: unbelievable, but true: $_, $/ and many other |
|
|
42 | "saved" variables actually weren't being saved. This has been fixed, |
|
|
43 | of course, while increasing performance while losing all the save |
|
|
44 | flags. |
|
|
45 | - save flags are gone, and all the api functions dealing with them. |
|
|
46 | - added Coro::Semaphore::adjust. |
|
|
47 | - added Coro::Util::fork_eval. |
|
|
48 | - added Coro::Storable::{nfreeze,blocking_{freeze,nfreeze}}. |
|
|
49 | - added Coro::killall. |
|
|
50 | - reduce initial stack sizes to allow for "micro-coroutines". |
|
|
51 | - better async_pool resource management, moved parts of async_pool |
|
|
52 | handling to XS (major speed improvement). |
|
|
53 | - actually croak before modifying important data structures. |
|
|
54 | - refuse to transfer while compiling. |
|
|
55 | - possibly support eval EXPR better now. |
|
|
56 | - enable assembly per default on linux+bsd x86+amd64. |
|
|
57 | - all internal members were renamed _something for easier subclassing. |
|
|
58 | - many minor tweaks. |
|
|
59 | |
|
|
60 | 3.63 Wed May 16 14:10:06 CEST 2007 |
|
|
61 | - implement handcoded assembly for x86/amd64 SVR ABI. |
|
|
62 | |
|
|
63 | 3.62 Fri Apr 27 21:36:06 CEST 2007 |
|
|
64 | - upgrade libcoro (which might set unwind info correctly). |
|
|
65 | - change default on linux to setjmp/longjmp. |
|
|
66 | |
|
|
67 | 3.61 Thu Apr 19 12:36:18 CEST 2007 |
|
|
68 | - Coro::Storable caused an endless loop when thawing invalid |
|
|
69 | pst's sometimes. |
|
|
70 | - use a Semaphore in Coro::Storable, as Storable doesn't |
|
|
71 | seem to be reentrant (although it is documented to |
|
|
72 | be threadsafe...). |
|
|
73 | - fix Coro::Signal to bring back the original unreliable |
|
|
74 | but stateful semantics. |
|
|
75 | - fixed a lot of typos in Coro.pm (patch submitted by David |
|
|
76 | Steinbrunner, which applied flawlessly). |
|
|
77 | |
|
|
78 | 3.6 Sat Apr 14 17:13:31 CEST 2007 |
|
|
79 | - added some bugfixes to get eg/myhttpd working again. |
|
|
80 | - added Coro::Storable for often-cede'ing freeze/thaw. |
|
|
81 | - try to do a clean exit when a coroutine calls exit |
|
|
82 | (EXPERIMENTAL). |
|
|
83 | - got rid of indirect call through _coro_init. |
|
|
84 | - updated the partly antique examples in eg/ to |
|
|
85 | work again and be a bit less magic, too. |
|
|
86 | - fixed Coro::Signal semantics to work as documented again. |
|
|
87 | |
|
|
88 | 3.55 Sun Mar 25 01:20:47 CET 2007 |
|
|
89 | - add SAVE_DEFFH to save the default filehandle and enable |
|
|
90 | it by default. |
|
|
91 | - finally move socket-operations from Coro::Socket to Coro::Handle |
|
|
92 | to be able to unblock foreign sockets. |
|
|
93 | - add Coro::State::save_also and guarded_save. |
|
|
94 | - add count accessor to Coro::Semaphore. |
|
|
95 | - add Coro::State::cctx_stacksize. |
|
|
96 | - just for the fun of it, do not rely on implicit context, |
|
|
97 | which can dramatically improve performance, but people |
|
|
98 | using windows-process-emulation perls do not care much about |
|
|
99 | performance. |
|
|
100 | |
|
|
101 | 3.51 Sun Mar 4 14:18:04 CET 2007 |
|
|
102 | - fixed a problem when you weakened references to Coro::State's |
|
|
103 | (patch by Yuval Kogman). |
|
|
104 | |
|
|
105 | 3.501 Wed Feb 28 12:44:07 CET 2007 |
|
|
106 | - rename some global symbols as macosx from hell redefines |
|
|
107 | them without asking. |
|
|
108 | |
|
|
109 | 3.5 Tue Feb 13 20:22:53 CET 2007 |
