33.0 3TODO: better (earlier) error messages on broken transfer's
4TODO: destroy gets only called on cancel: fix(?)
5
63.55 Sun Mar 25 01:20:47 CET 2007
7 - add SAVE_DEFFH to save the default filehandle and enable
8 it by default.
9 - finally move socket-operations from Coro::Socket to Coro::Handle
10 to be able to unblock foreign sockets.
11 - add Coro::State::save_also and guarded_save.
12 - add count accessor to Coro::Semaphore.
13 - add Coro::State::cctx_stacksize.
14 - just for the fun of it, do not rely on implicit context,
15 which can dramatically improve performance, but people
16 using windows-process-emulation perls do not care much about
17 performance.
18
193.51 Sun Mar 4 14:18:04 CET 2007
20 - fixed a problem when you weakened references to Coro::State's
21 (patch by Yuval Kogman).
22
233.501 Wed Feb 28 12:44:07 CET 2007
24 - rename some global symbols as macosx from hell redefines
25 them without asking.
26
273.5 Tue Feb 13 20:22:53 CET 2007
28 - do AnyEvent model detection earlier, avoiding problems
29 caused by first using AnyEvent and later Coro::Event.
30 - implement and document Coro::Event event objects.
31 - fix a potential problem in Coro::Event causing crashes.
32 - initialise PL_comppad when creating a new coroutine,
33 avoids crashes on early coro destruction.
34
353.41 Mon Jan 22 19:19:49 CET 2007
36 - readline on Coro::Handle did not support undefined $/,
37 nor did it deliver partial lines on EOF or error.
38 - implement malloc fallback for stack allocation because
39 stupid broken idiotic OSX has a stupid broken
40 idiotic fits-the-whole-os mmap "implementation" and
41 my dick feels longer if Coro is portable even to
42 obsolete platforms.
43
443.4 Fri Jan 19 21:52:54 CET 2007
45 - remove t/09_timer.t, as it isn't really testing much
46 but was rather flaky in practise.
47 - async_pool coro would keep arguments and callback alive until
48 it was reused.
49 - cancellation of a coroutine could cause spurious idle calls
50 in cede_notself.
51
523.3 Sat Jan 6 03:45:00 CET 2007
53 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
54 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
55 documented and - hopefully - improved.
56 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
57 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
58 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
59 that could errronously trigger.
60 - fix various large and small memleaks.
61 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
62 that immediately frees the coroutine data.
63 - cede/cede_notself return a status now.
64 - added Coro::guard function.
65 - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine,
66 I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async,
67 and 128k coros with async_pool).
68 - Coro::AIO now uses the coroutine priority as io priority.
69
703.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
71 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
72 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
73 - simplify configuration for users.
74 - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
75 their coro replacements.
76
773.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006
78 - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even
79 without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should
80 notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :)
81 - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have
82 it. Also noticed by Andreas König :)
83 - save/restore tainted status.
84 - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5.
85
863.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
87 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
88 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
89 - give a better error message on deadlock.
90 - document Coro::nready.
91 - enhanced testsuite.
92
933.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006
94 - forgot to include Coro::Timer.

105 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not

108 per event.

124 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
125 and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
126 if somebody asks for it :)
