3TODO: better (earlier) error messages on broken transfer's 3TODO: should explore PerlIO::via::CoroCede and PerlIO::via::CoroAIO.
4TODO: destroy gets only called on cancel: fix(?) 4TODO: maybe implement a default message channel, very much like Erlang
5 (which is cool in a lot of important aspects (failures!),
6 but very lacking in others (higher level ipc)).
7
8 - added Coro::throw method.
9 - minor code cleanups.
10
114.02 Sat Oct 6 02:36:47 CEST 2007
12 - fix a very minor per-coroutine memleak (a single codereference).
13 - fixed a bug where the currently in-use c context would be freed
14 prematurely (can happen only when programs change the stacksize
15 or use tracing).
16 - tracing can no longer keep a coro alive after it terminated.
17 - do static branch prediction in the common path for gcc. gives
18 about 2-5% speed improvement here.
19
204.01 Fri Oct 5 22:10:49 CEST 2007
21 - instead of recreating *a* standard output handle we simply
22 use STDOUT, which is faster and hopefully more robust.
23
244.0 Fri Oct 5 12:56:00 CEST 2007
25 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze.
26 - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine
27 debugging, tracing and much more.
28 - major bug fix: unbelievable, but true: $_, $/ and many other
29 "saved" variables actually weren't being saved. This has been fixed,
30 of course, while increasing performance while losing all the save
31 flags.
32 - save flags are gone, and all the api functions dealing with them.
33 - added Coro::Semaphore::adjust.
34 - added Coro::Util::fork_eval.
35 - added Coro::Storable::{nfreeze,blocking_{freeze,nfreeze}}.
36 - added Coro::killall.
37 - reduce initial stack sizes to allow for "micro-coroutines".
38 - better async_pool resource management, moved parts of async_pool
39 handling to XS (major speed improvement).
40 - actually croak before modifying important data structures.
41 - refuse to transfer while compiling.
42 - possibly support eval EXPR better now.
43 - enable assembly per default on linux+bsd x86+amd64.
44 - all internal members were renamed _something for easier subclassing.
45 - many minor tweaks.
46
473.63 Wed May 16 14:10:06 CEST 2007
48 - implement handcoded assembly for x86/amd64 SVR ABI.
49
503.62 Fri Apr 27 21:36:06 CEST 2007
51 - upgrade libcoro (which might set unwind info correctly).
52 - change default on linux to setjmp/longjmp.
53
543.61 Thu Apr 19 12:36:18 CEST 2007
55 - Coro::Storable caused an endless loop when thawing invalid
56 pst's sometimes.
57 - use a Semaphore in Coro::Storable, as Storable doesn't
58 seem to be reentrant (although it is documented to
59 be threadsafe...).
60 - fix Coro::Signal to bring back the original unreliable
61 but stateful semantics.
62 - fixed a lot of typos in Coro.pm (patch submitted by David
63 Steinbrunner, which applied flawlessly).
64
653.6 Sat Apr 14 17:13:31 CEST 2007
66 - added some bugfixes to get eg/myhttpd working again.
67 - added Coro::Storable for often-cede'ing freeze/thaw.
68 - try to do a clean exit when a coroutine calls exit
69 (EXPERIMENTAL).
70 - got rid of indirect call through _coro_init.
71 - updated the partly antique examples in eg/ to
72 work again and be a bit less magic, too.
73 - fixed Coro::Signal semantics to work as documented again.

7 - add SAVE_DEFFH to save the default filehandle and enable 76 - add SAVE_DEFFH to save the default filehandle and enable
8 it by default. 77 it by default.
9 - finally move socket-operations from Coro::Socket to Coro::Handle 78 - finally move socket-operations from Coro::Socket to Coro::Handle
