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 - add Coro::State::cctx_stacksize.
9
103.51 Sun Mar 4 14:18:04 CET 2007
11 - fixed a problem when you weakened references to Coro::State's
12 (patch by Yuval Kogman).
13
143.501 Wed Feb 28 12:44:07 CET 2007
15 - rename some global symbols as macosx from hell redefines
16 them without asking.
17
183.5 Tue Feb 13 20:22:53 CET 2007
19 - do AnyEvent model detection earlier, avoiding problems
20 caused by first using AnyEvent and later Coro::Event.
21 - implement and document Coro::Event event objects.
22 - fix a potential problem in Coro::Event causing crashes.
23 - initialise PL_comppad when creating a new coroutine,
24 avoids crashes on early coro destruction.
25
263.41 Mon Jan 22 19:19:49 CET 2007
27 - readline on Coro::Handle did not support undefined $/,
28 nor did it deliver partial lines on EOF or error.
29 - implement malloc fallback for stack allocation because
30 stupid broken idiotic OSX has a stupid broken
31 idiotic fits-the-whole-os mmap "implementation" and
32 my dick feels longer if Coro is portable even to
33 obsolete platforms.
34
353.4 Fri Jan 19 21:52:54 CET 2007
36 - remove t/09_timer.t, as it isn't really testing much
37 but was rather flaky in practise.
38 - async_pool coro would keep arguments and callback alive until
39 it was reused.
40 - cancellation of a coroutine could cause spurious idle calls
41 in cede_notself.
42
433.3 Sat Jan 6 03:45:00 CET 2007
44 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
45 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
46 documented and - hopefully - improved.
47 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
48 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
49 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
50 that could errronously trigger.
51 - fix various large and small memleaks.
52 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
53 that immediately frees the coroutine data.
54 - cede/cede_notself return a status now.
55 - added Coro::guard function.
56 - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine,
57 I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async,
58 and 128k coros with async_pool).
59 - Coro::AIO now uses the coroutine priority as io priority.
60
613.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
62 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
63 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
64 - simplify configuration for users.
65 - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
66 their coro replacements.
67
683.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006
69 - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even
70 without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should
71 notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :)
72 - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have
73 it. Also noticed by Andreas König :)
74 - save/restore tainted status.
75 - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5.
76
773.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
78 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
79 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
80 - give a better error message on deadlock.
81 - document Coro::nready.
82 - enhanced testsuite.
83
843.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006
85 - forgot to include Coro::Timer.
86
873.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
88 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
89 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
90 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
91 pool (size currently hardcoded).
92 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
93 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
94 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
95 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
96 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
97 check for changed watchers.
98 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
99 per event.
100 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
101 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
102 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
103 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
104 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
105 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
106 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
107 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
108 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
109 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
110 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
111 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
112 - updated to newest libcoro.
113 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
114 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
115 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
116 and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
117 if somebody asks for it :)
118 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
119 spuriously without the event having happened.
120
1212.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
122 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
123 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
124 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
125 make LWP non-blocking.
126 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
127 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
128 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
129 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
130 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
131 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
132 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
133 by LWP(!!).
134 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
135 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
136 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
137 did already.
138
1392.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
140 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
141 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
142 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
143 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
144 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
145 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
146 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
147 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
148
1492.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
150 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
151
1521.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
153
1541.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
155 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
156 mark & sweep gc run.
157 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
158
1591.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
160 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
161 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
162
1631.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
164 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
165 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
166 wrong package.
167 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
168 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
169 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
170 normally uses.
171 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
2 172
31.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005 1731.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
4 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select. 174 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
