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.
6TODO: maybe implement a default message channel, very much like Erlang
7 (which is cool in a lot of important aspects (failures!),
8 but very lacking in others).
9
10 - upgrade libcoro (which might set unwidn info correctly).
11 - change default on linux to setjmp/longjmp.
12
133.61 Thu Apr 19 12:36:18 CEST 2007
14 - Coro::Storable caused an endless loop when thawing invalid
15 pst's sometimes.
16 - use a Semaphore in Coro::Storable, as Storable doesn't
17 seem to be reentrant (although it is documented to
18 be threadsafe...).
19 - fix Coro::Signal to bring back the original unreliable
20 but stateful semantics.
21 - fixed a lot of typos in Coro.pm (patch submitted by David
22 Steinbrunner, which applied flawlessly).
23
243.6 Sat Apr 14 17:13:31 CEST 2007
25 - added some bugfixes to get eg/myhttpd working again.
26 - added Coro::Storable for often-cede'ing freeze/thaw.
27 - try to do a clean exit when a coroutine calls exit
28 (EXPERIMENTAL).
29 - got rid of indirect call through _coro_init.
30 - updated the partly antique examples in eg/ to
31 work again and be a bit less magic, too.
32 - fixed Coro::Signal semantics to work as documented again.
33
343.55 Sun Mar 25 01:20:47 CET 2007
35 - add SAVE_DEFFH to save the default filehandle and enable
36 it by default.
37 - finally move socket-operations from Coro::Socket to Coro::Handle
38 to be able to unblock foreign sockets.
39 - add Coro::State::save_also and guarded_save.
40 - add count accessor to Coro::Semaphore.
41 - add Coro::State::cctx_stacksize.
42 - just for the fun of it, do not rely on implicit context,
43 which can dramatically improve performance, but people
44 using windows-process-emulation perls do not care much about
45 performance.
46
473.51 Sun Mar 4 14:18:04 CET 2007
48 - fixed a problem when you weakened references to Coro::State's
49 (patch by Yuval Kogman).
50
513.501 Wed Feb 28 12:44:07 CET 2007
52 - rename some global symbols as macosx from hell redefines
53 them without asking.
54
553.5 Tue Feb 13 20:22:53 CET 2007
56 - do AnyEvent model detection earlier, avoiding problems
57 caused by first using AnyEvent and later Coro::Event.
58 - implement and document Coro::Event event objects.
59 - fix a potential problem in Coro::Event causing crashes.
60 - initialise PL_comppad when creating a new coroutine,
61 avoids crashes on early coro destruction.
62
633.41 Mon Jan 22 19:19:49 CET 2007
64 - readline on Coro::Handle did not support undefined $/,
65 nor did it deliver partial lines on EOF or error.
66 - implement malloc fallback for stack allocation because
67 stupid broken idiotic OSX has a stupid broken
68 idiotic fits-the-whole-os mmap "implementation" and
69 my dick feels longer if Coro is portable even to
70 obsolete platforms.
71
723.4 Fri Jan 19 21:52:54 CET 2007
73 - remove t/09_timer.t, as it isn't really testing much
74 but was rather flaky in practise.
75 - async_pool coro would keep arguments and callback alive until
76 it was reused.
77 - cancellation of a coroutine could cause spurious idle calls
78 in cede_notself.
79
803.3 Sat Jan 6 03:45:00 CET 2007
81 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
82 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
83 documented and - hopefully - improved.
84 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
85 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
86 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
87 that could errronously trigger.
88 - fix various large and small memleaks.
89 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
90 that immediately frees the coroutine data.
91 - cede/cede_notself return a status now.
92 - added Coro::guard function.
93 - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine,
94 I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async,
95 and 128k coros with async_pool).
96 - Coro::AIO now uses the coroutine priority as io priority.
97
983.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
99 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
100 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
101 - simplify configuration for users.
102 - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
103 their coro replacements.
104
1053.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006
106 - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even
107 without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should
108 notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :)
109 - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have
110 it. Also noticed by Andreas König :)
111 - save/restore tainted status.
112 - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5.
113
1143.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
115 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
116 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
117 - give a better error message on deadlock.
118 - document Coro::nready.
119 - enhanced testsuite.
120
1213.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006
122 - forgot to include Coro::Timer.
123
1243.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
125 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
126 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
127 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
128 pool (size currently hardcoded).
129 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
130 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
131 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
132 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
133 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
134 check for changed watchers.
135 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
136 per event.
137 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
138 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
139 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
140 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
141 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
142 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
143 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
144 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
145 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
146 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
147 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
148 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
149 - updated to newest libcoro.
150 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
151 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
152 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
153 and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
154 if somebody asks for it :)
155 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
156 spuriously without the event having happened.
157
1582.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
3 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket 159 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
4 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/. 160 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
5 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to 161 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
6 make LWP non-blocking. 162 make LWP non-blocking.
7 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it). 163 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
