3TODO: better (earlier) error messages on broken transfer's
4TODO: destroy gets only called on cancel: fix(?)
5
63.52
7 - add count accessor to Coro::Semaphore.
8
93.51 Sun Mar 4 14:18:04 CET 2007
10 - fixed a problem when you weakened references to Coro::State's
11 (patch by Yuval Kogman).
12
133.501 Wed Feb 28 12:44:07 CET 2007
14 - rename some global symbols as macosx from hell redefines
15 them without asking.
16
173.5 Tue Feb 13 20:22:53 CET 2007
18 - do AnyEvent model detection earlier, avoiding problems
19 caused by first using AnyEvent and later Coro::Event.
20 - implement and document Coro::Event event objects.
21 - fix a potential problem in Coro::Event causing crashes.
22 - initialise PL_comppad when creating a new coroutine,
23 avoids crashes on early coro destruction.
24
253.41 Mon Jan 22 19:19:49 CET 2007
26 - readline on Coro::Handle did not support undefined $/,
27 nor did it deliver partial lines on EOF or error.
28 - implement malloc fallback for stack allocation because
29 stupid broken idiotic OSX has a stupid broken
30 idiotic fits-the-whole-os mmap "implementation" and
31 my dick feels longer if Coro is portable even to
32 obsolete platforms.
33
343.4 Fri Jan 19 21:52:54 CET 2007
35 - remove t/09_timer.t, as it isn't really testing much
36 but was rather flaky in practise.
37 - async_pool coro would keep arguments and callback alive until
38 it was reused.
39 - cancellation of a coroutine could cause spurious idle calls
40 in cede_notself.
41
423.3 Sat Jan 6 03:45:00 CET 2007
43 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
44 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
45 documented and - hopefully - improved.
46 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
47 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
48 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
49 that could errronously trigger.
50 - fix various large and small memleaks.
51 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
52 that immediately frees the coroutine data.
53 - cede/cede_notself return a status now.
54 - added Coro::guard function.
55 - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine,
56 I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async,
57 and 128k coros with async_pool).
58 - Coro::AIO now uses the coroutine priority as io priority.
59
603.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
61 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
62 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
63 - simplify configuration for users.
64 - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
65 their coro replacements.
66
673.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006
68 - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even
69 without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should
70 notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :)
71 - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have
72 it. Also noticed by Andreas König :)
73 - save/restore tainted status.
74 - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5.
75
763.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
77 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
78 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
79 - give a better error message on deadlock.
80 - document Coro::nready.
81 - enhanced testsuite.
82
833.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006
84 - forgot to include Coro::Timer.
85
863.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
87 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
88 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
89 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
90 pool (size currently hardcoded).
91 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
92 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
93 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
94 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
95 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
96 check for changed watchers.
97 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
98 per event.
99 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
100 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
101 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
102 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
103 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
104 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
105 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
106 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
107 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
108 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
109 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
110 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
111 - updated to newest libcoro.
112 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
113 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
114 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
115 and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
116 if somebody asks for it :)
117 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
118 spuriously without the event having happened.
119
1202.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
121 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
122 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
123 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
124 make LWP non-blocking.
125 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
126 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
127 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
128 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
129 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
130 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
131 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
132 by LWP(!!).
133 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
134 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
135 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
136 did already.
137
1382.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
139 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
140 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
141 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
142 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
143 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
144 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
145 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
146 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
147
1482.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
149 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
150
1511.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
152
1531.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
154 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
155 mark & sweep gc run.
156 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
157
1581.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
159 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
160 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
161
1621.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
3 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet 163 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
4 unseen problems with regex matches being attributes to the 164 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
5 wrong package. 165 wrong package.
166 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
167 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
168 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
169 normally uses.
170 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
6 171
71.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005 1721.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
8 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select. 173 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
