1Revision history for Perl extension Coro. 1Revision history for Perl extension Coro.
2 2
30.9 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).
105 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
106 pool (size currently hardcoded).
107 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
108 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
109 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
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.
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.
120 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
121 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
122 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
123 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
124 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
125 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
126 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
127 - updated to newest libcoro.
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.
135
1362.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
137 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
138 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
139 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
140 make LWP non-blocking.
141 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
142 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
143 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
144 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
145 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
146 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
147 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
148 by LWP(!!).
149 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
150 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
151 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
152 did already.
153
1542.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
155 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
156 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
157 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
158 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
159 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
160 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
161 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
162 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
163
1642.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
165 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
166
1671.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
168
1691.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
170 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
171 mark & sweep gc run.
172 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
173
1741.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
175 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
176 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
177
1781.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
179 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
180 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
181 wrong package.
182 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
183 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
184 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
185 normally uses.
186 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
187
1881.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
189 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
190
1911.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
192 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
193 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
194 - strict'ify some modules.
195 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
196 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
197 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
198
1991.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
200 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
201 when 'l'inux method was used.
202
2031.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
204 - some portability fixes/workarounds.
205
2061.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
207 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
208 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
209 Coro::State::flush method.
210 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
211
2121.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
213 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
214 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
215 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
216 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
217 - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.
218
2191.11 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
220 - change of contact address.
221
2221.1 Tue Feb 22 20:51:16 CET 2005
223 - support [l]inux method on amd64.
224 - allow some context switches while compiling/eval'ing.
225
2261.0 Tue Aug 10 03:47:27 CEST 2004
227 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
228 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
229 padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
230
2310.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
232 - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
233
2340.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
235 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
236 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
237 as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
238 Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
239 between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
240 fixable).
241 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
242
2430.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
244 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
245 faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
246 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
247 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
248 observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
249 of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
250 pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
251 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
252 - fix for threaded perl.
253
2540.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
4 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid 255 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
5 memory leaks. 256 memory leaks.
6 - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(. 257 - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
258 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
259 hopefully ignoring it "just works".
7 260
80.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003 2610.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
9 - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported! 262 - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
10 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket. 263 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
