1Revision history for Perl extension Coro. 1Revision history for Perl extension Coro.
2 2
3TODO: better (earlier) error messages on broken transfer's
4TODO: destroy gets only called on cancel: fix(?)
5TODO: should explore PerlIO::via::CoroCede and PerlIO::via::CoroAIO.
6
7 - added some bugfixes to get eg/myhttpd working again.
8 - added Coro::Storable for often-cede'ing freeze/thaw.
9 - try to do a clean exit when a coroutine calls exit
10 (EXPERIMENTAL).
11
123.55 Sun Mar 25 01:20:47 CET 2007
13 - add SAVE_DEFFH to save the default filehandle and enable
14 it by default.
15 - finally move socket-operations from Coro::Socket to Coro::Handle
16 to be able to unblock foreign sockets.
17 - add Coro::State::save_also and guarded_save.
18 - add count accessor to Coro::Semaphore.
19 - add Coro::State::cctx_stacksize.
20 - just for the fun of it, do not rely on implicit context,
21 which can dramatically improve performance, but people
22 using windows-process-emulation perls do not care much about
23 performance.
24
253.51 Sun Mar 4 14:18:04 CET 2007
26 - fixed a problem when you weakened references to Coro::State's
27 (patch by Yuval Kogman).
28
293.501 Wed Feb 28 12:44:07 CET 2007
30 - rename some global symbols as macosx from hell redefines
31 them without asking.
32
333.5 Tue Feb 13 20:22:53 CET 2007
34 - do AnyEvent model detection earlier, avoiding problems
35 caused by first using AnyEvent and later Coro::Event.
36 - implement and document Coro::Event event objects.
37 - fix a potential problem in Coro::Event causing crashes.
38 - initialise PL_comppad when creating a new coroutine,
39 avoids crashes on early coro destruction.
40
413.41 Mon Jan 22 19:19:49 CET 2007
42 - readline on Coro::Handle did not support undefined $/,
43 nor did it deliver partial lines on EOF or error.
44 - implement malloc fallback for stack allocation because
45 stupid broken idiotic OSX has a stupid broken
46 idiotic fits-the-whole-os mmap "implementation" and
47 my dick feels longer if Coro is portable even to
48 obsolete platforms.
49
503.4 Fri Jan 19 21:52:54 CET 2007
51 - remove t/09_timer.t, as it isn't really testing much
52 but was rather flaky in practise.
53 - async_pool coro would keep arguments and callback alive until
54 it was reused.
55 - cancellation of a coroutine could cause spurious idle calls
56 in cede_notself.
57
583.3 Sat Jan 6 03:45:00 CET 2007
59 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
60 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
61 documented and - hopefully - improved.
62 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
63 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
64 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
65 that could errronously trigger.
66 - fix various large and small memleaks.
67 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
68 that immediately frees the coroutine data.
69 - cede/cede_notself return a status now.
70 - added Coro::guard function.
71 - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine,
72 I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async,
73 and 128k coros with async_pool).
74 - Coro::AIO now uses the coroutine priority as io priority.
75
763.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
77 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
78 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
79 - simplify configuration for users.
80 - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
81 their coro replacements.
82
833.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006
84 - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even
85 without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should
86 notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :)
87 - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have
88 it. Also noticed by Andreas König :)
89 - save/restore tainted status.
90 - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5.
91
923.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
93 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
94 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
95 - give a better error message on deadlock.
96 - document Coro::nready.
97 - enhanced testsuite.
98
993.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006
100 - forgot to include Coro::Timer.
101
1023.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
103 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
104 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
3 - reimplement a new stack sharing algorithm. 105 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
106 pool (size currently hardcoded).
4 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic). 107 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
5 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use. 108 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
6 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but 109 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
7 Event watchers were used directly. 110 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
111 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
112 check for changed watchers.
113 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
114 per event.
8 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now. 115 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
116 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
117 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
118 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
119 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
9 - minor incompatibility: subclassing is supported directly now 120 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
10 without going through a _coro_state member. 121 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
11 - state/coro switching is much faster now. 122 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
12 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup. 123 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
13 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining. 124 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
14 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead. 125 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
15 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler. 126 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
16 - updated to newest libcoro. 127 - updated to newest libcoro.
17 - implement enhanced support for valgrind. 128 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
129 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
130 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
131 and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
132 if somebody asks for it :)
133 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
134 spuriously without the event having happened.

192.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006 1362.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
20 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket 137 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
21 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/. 138 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
22 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to 139 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
