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 - just for the fun of it, do not rely on implicit context,
10 which can dramatically improve performance, but people
11 using windows-process-emulation perls do not care much about
12 performance.
13
143.51 Sun Mar 4 14:18:04 CET 2007
15 - fixed a problem when you weakened references to Coro::State's
16 (patch by Yuval Kogman).
17
183.501 Wed Feb 28 12:44:07 CET 2007
19 - rename some global symbols as macosx from hell redefines
20 them without asking.
21
223.5 Tue Feb 13 20:22:53 CET 2007
23 - do AnyEvent model detection earlier, avoiding problems
24 caused by first using AnyEvent and later Coro::Event.
25 - implement and document Coro::Event event objects.
26 - fix a potential problem in Coro::Event causing crashes.
27 - initialise PL_comppad when creating a new coroutine,
28 avoids crashes on early coro destruction.
29
303.41 Mon Jan 22 19:19:49 CET 2007
31 - readline on Coro::Handle did not support undefined $/,
32 nor did it deliver partial lines on EOF or error.
33 - implement malloc fallback for stack allocation because
34 stupid broken idiotic OSX has a stupid broken
35 idiotic fits-the-whole-os mmap "implementation" and
36 my dick feels longer if Coro is portable even to
37 obsolete platforms.
38
393.4 Fri Jan 19 21:52:54 CET 2007
40 - remove t/09_timer.t, as it isn't really testing much
41 but was rather flaky in practise.
42 - async_pool coro would keep arguments and callback alive until
43 it was reused.
44 - cancellation of a coroutine could cause spurious idle calls
45 in cede_notself.
46
473.3 Sat Jan 6 03:45:00 CET 2007
48 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
49 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
50 documented and - hopefully - improved.
51 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
52 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
53 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
54 that could errronously trigger.
55 - fix various large and small memleaks.
56 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
57 that immediately frees the coroutine data.
58 - cede/cede_notself return a status now.
59 - added Coro::guard function.
60 - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine,
61 I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async,
62 and 128k coros with async_pool).
63 - Coro::AIO now uses the coroutine priority as io priority.
64
653.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
66 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
67 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
68 - simplify configuration for users.
69 - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
70 their coro replacements.
71
723.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006
73 - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even
74 without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should
75 notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :)
76 - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have
77 it. Also noticed by Andreas König :)
78 - save/restore tainted status.
79 - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5.
80
813.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
82 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
83 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
84 - give a better error message on deadlock.
85 - document Coro::nready.
86 - enhanced testsuite.
87
883.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006
89 - forgot to include Coro::Timer.
90
913.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
92 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
93 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
94 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
95 pool (size currently hardcoded).
96 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
97 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
98 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
99 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
100 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
101 check for changed watchers.
102 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
103 per event.
104 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
105 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
106 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
107 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
108 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
109 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
110 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
111 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
112 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
113 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
114 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
115 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
116 - updated to newest libcoro.
117 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
118 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
119 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
120 and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
121 if somebody asks for it :)
122 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
123 spuriously without the event having happened.
124
1252.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
126 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
127 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
128 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
129 make LWP non-blocking.
130 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
131 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
132 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
133 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
134 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
135 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
136 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
137 by LWP(!!).
138 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
139 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
140 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
141 did already.
142
1432.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
144 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
145 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
146 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
147 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
148 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
149 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
150 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
151 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
152
1532.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
154 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
155
1561.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
157
1581.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
159 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
160 mark & sweep gc run.
161 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
162
1631.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
164 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
165 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
166
1671.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
168 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
169 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
170 wrong package.
171 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
172 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
173 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
174 normally uses.
175 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
176
1771.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
178 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
179
1801.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
181 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
182 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
183 - strict'ify some modules.
184 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
185 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
186 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
187
1881.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
189 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
190 when 'l'inux method was used.
191
1921.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
193 - some portability fixes/workarounds.

24 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again. 216 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
25 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for 217 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
26 padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked. 218 padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
