3TODO: better (earlier) error messages on broken transfer's
4TODO: destroy gets only called on cancel: fix(?)
5
63.51
7 - fixed a problem when you weakened references to Coro::State's
8 (patch by Yuval Kogman).
9
103.501 Wed Feb 28 12:44:07 CET 2007
11 - rename some global symbols as macosx from hell redefines
12 them without asking.
13
143.5 Tue Feb 13 20:22:53 CET 2007
15 - do AnyEvent model detection earlier, avoiding problems
16 caused by first using AnyEvent and later Coro::Event.
17 - implement and document Coro::Event event objects.
18 - fix a potential problem in Coro::Event causing crashes.
19 - initialise PL_comppad when creating a new coroutine,
20 avoids crashes on early coro destruction.
21
223.41 Mon Jan 22 19:19:49 CET 2007
23 - readline on Coro::Handle did not support undefined $/,
24 nor did it deliver partial lines on EOF or error.
25 - implement malloc fallback for stack allocation because
26 stupid broken idiotic OSX has a stupid broken
27 idiotic fits-the-whole-os mmap "implementation" and
28 my dick feels longer if Coro is portable even to
29 obsolete platforms.
30
313.4 Fri Jan 19 21:52:54 CET 2007
32 - remove t/09_timer.t, as it isn't really testing much
33 but was rather flaky in practise.
34 - async_pool coro would keep arguments and callback alive until
35 it was reused.
36 - cancellation of a coroutine could cause spurious idle calls
37 in cede_notself.
38
393.3 Sat Jan 6 03:45:00 CET 2007
40 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
41 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
42 documented and - hopefully - improved.
43 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
44 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
45 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
46 that could errronously trigger.
47 - fix various large and small memleaks.
48 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
49 that immediately frees the coroutine data.
50 - cede/cede_notself return a status now.
51 - added Coro::guard function.
52 - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine,
53 I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async,
54 and 128k coros with async_pool).
55 - Coro::AIO now uses the coroutine priority as io priority.
56
573.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
58 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
59 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
60 - simplify configuration for users.
61 - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
62 their coro replacements.
63
643.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006
65 - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even
66 without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should
67 notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :)
68 - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have
69 it. Also noticed by Andreas König :)
70 - save/restore tainted status.
71 - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5.
72
733.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
74 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
75 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
76 - give a better error message on deadlock.
77 - document Coro::nready.
78 - enhanced testsuite.
79
803.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006
81 - forgot to include Coro::Timer.
82
833.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
84 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
85 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
86 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
87 pool (size currently hardcoded).
88 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
89 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
90 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
91 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
92 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
93 check for changed watchers.
94 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
95 per event.
96 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
97 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
98 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
99 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
100 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
101 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
102 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
103 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
104 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
105 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
106 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
107 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
108 - updated to newest libcoro.
109 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
110 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
111 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
112 and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
113 if somebody asks for it :)
114 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
115 spuriously without the event having happened.
116
1172.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
118 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
119 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
120 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
121 make LWP non-blocking.
122 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
123 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
124 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
125 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
126 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
127 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
128 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
129 by LWP(!!).
130 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
131 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
132 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
133 did already.
134
1352.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
136 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
137 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
138 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
139 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
140 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
141 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
142 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
143 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
144
1452.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
146 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
147
1481.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
149
1501.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
151 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
152 mark & sweep gc run.
153 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
154
1551.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
156 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
157 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
158
1591.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
160 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
161 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
162 wrong package.
163 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
164 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
165 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
166 normally uses.
167 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
168
1691.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
170 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
171
1721.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
173 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
174 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
175 - strict'ify some modules.
176 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
177 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
178 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
179
1801.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
181 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
182 when 'l'inux method was used.
183
1841.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
185 - some portability fixes/workarounds.
186
1871.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
188 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
189 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
190 Coro::State::flush method.
191 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
192
1931.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
194 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
195 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
196 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
197 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
198 - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.
199
2001.11 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
201 - change of contact address.
202
2031.1 Tue Feb 22 20:51:16 CET 2005
204 - support [l]inux method on amd64.
205 - allow some context switches while compiling/eval'ing.
206
2071.0 Tue Aug 10 03:47:27 CEST 2004
208 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
209 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
210 padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
211
2120.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
213 - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
214
2150.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
216 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
217 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
218 as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
219 Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
220 between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
221 fixable).
222 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
223
2240.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
225 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
226 faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
227 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
228 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
229 observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
230 of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
231 pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
232 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
233 - fix for threaded perl.

30.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003 2350.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
4 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid 236 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
5 memory leaks. 237 memory leaks.
6 - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(. 238 - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
