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
103.64
11 - added Coro::Semaphore::adjust.
12 - added Coro::Util::fork_eval.
13 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze.
14 - added Coro::Storable::{nfreeze,blocking_{freeze,nfreeze}}.
15
163.63 Wed May 16 14:10:06 CEST 2007
17 - implement handcoded assembly for x86/amd64 SVR ABI.
18
193.62 Fri Apr 27 21:36:06 CEST 2007
20 - upgrade libcoro (which might set unwind info correctly).
21 - change default on linux to setjmp/longjmp.
22
233.61 Thu Apr 19 12:36:18 CEST 2007
24 - Coro::Storable caused an endless loop when thawing invalid
25 pst's sometimes.
26 - use a Semaphore in Coro::Storable, as Storable doesn't
27 seem to be reentrant (although it is documented to
28 be threadsafe...).
29 - fix Coro::Signal to bring back the original unreliable
30 but stateful semantics.
31 - fixed a lot of typos in Coro.pm (patch submitted by David
32 Steinbrunner, which applied flawlessly).
33
343.6 Sat Apr 14 17:13:31 CEST 2007
35 - added some bugfixes to get eg/myhttpd working again.
36 - added Coro::Storable for often-cede'ing freeze/thaw.
37 - try to do a clean exit when a coroutine calls exit
38 (EXPERIMENTAL).
39 - got rid of indirect call through _coro_init.
40 - updated the partly antique examples in eg/ to
41 work again and be a bit less magic, too.
42 - fixed Coro::Signal semantics to work as documented again.
43
443.55 Sun Mar 25 01:20:47 CET 2007
45 - add SAVE_DEFFH to save the default filehandle and enable
46 it by default.
47 - finally move socket-operations from Coro::Socket to Coro::Handle
48 to be able to unblock foreign sockets.
49 - add Coro::State::save_also and guarded_save.
50 - add count accessor to Coro::Semaphore.
51 - add Coro::State::cctx_stacksize.
52 - just for the fun of it, do not rely on implicit context,
53 which can dramatically improve performance, but people
54 using windows-process-emulation perls do not care much about
55 performance.
56
573.51 Sun Mar 4 14:18:04 CET 2007
58 - fixed a problem when you weakened references to Coro::State's
59 (patch by Yuval Kogman).
60
613.501 Wed Feb 28 12:44:07 CET 2007
62 - rename some global symbols as macosx from hell redefines
63 them without asking.
64
653.5 Tue Feb 13 20:22:53 CET 2007
66 - do AnyEvent model detection earlier, avoiding problems
67 caused by first using AnyEvent and later Coro::Event.
68 - implement and document Coro::Event event objects.
69 - fix a potential problem in Coro::Event causing crashes.
70 - initialise PL_comppad when creating a new coroutine,
71 avoids crashes on early coro destruction.
72
733.41 Mon Jan 22 19:19:49 CET 2007
74 - readline on Coro::Handle did not support undefined $/,
75 nor did it deliver partial lines on EOF or error.
76 - implement malloc fallback for stack allocation because
77 stupid broken idiotic OSX has a stupid broken
78 idiotic fits-the-whole-os mmap "implementation" and
79 my dick feels longer if Coro is portable even to
80 obsolete platforms.
81
823.4 Fri Jan 19 21:52:54 CET 2007
83 - remove t/09_timer.t, as it isn't really testing much
84 but was rather flaky in practise.
85 - async_pool coro would keep arguments and callback alive until
86 it was reused.
87 - cancellation of a coroutine could cause spurious idle calls
88 in cede_notself.
89
903.3 Sat Jan 6 03:45:00 CET 2007
91 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
92 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
93 documented and - hopefully - improved.
94 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
95 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
96 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
97 that could errronously trigger.
98 - fix various large and small memleaks.
99 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
100 that immediately frees the coroutine data.
101 - cede/cede_notself return a status now.
102 - added Coro::guard function.
103 - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine,
104 I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async,
105 and 128k coros with async_pool).
106 - Coro::AIO now uses the coroutine priority as io priority.
107
1083.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
109 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
110 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
111 - simplify configuration for users.
112 - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
113 their coro replacements.
114
1153.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006
116 - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even
117 without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should
118 notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :)
119 - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have
120 it. Also noticed by Andreas König :)
121 - save/restore tainted status.
122 - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5.
123
1243.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
125 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
126 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
127 - give a better error message on deadlock.
128 - document Coro::nready.
129 - enhanced testsuite.
130
1313.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006
132 - forgot to include Coro::Timer.
133
1343.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
135 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
136 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
137 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
138 pool (size currently hardcoded).
139 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
140 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
141 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
142 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
143 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
144 check for changed watchers.
145 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
146 per event.
147 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
148 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
149 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
150 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
151 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
152 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
153 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
154 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
155 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
156 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
157 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
158 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
159 - updated to newest libcoro.
160 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
161 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
162 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
163 and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
164 if somebody asks for it :)
165 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
166 spuriously without the event having happened.
167
1682.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
169 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
170 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
171 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
172 make LWP non-blocking.
173 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
174 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
175 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
176 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
177 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
178 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
179 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
180 by LWP(!!).
181 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
182 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
183 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
184 did already.
185
1862.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
187 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
188 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
189 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
190 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
191 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
192 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
193 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
194 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
195
1962.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
197 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
198
1991.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
200
2011.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
202 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
203 mark & sweep gc run.
204 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
205
2061.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
207 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
208 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
209
2101.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
211 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
212 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
213 wrong package.
214 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
215 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
216 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
217 normally uses.
218 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
219
2201.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
221 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
222
2231.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
224 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
225 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
226 - strict'ify some modules.
227 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
228 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
229 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
230
2311.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
232 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
233 when 'l'inux method was used.
234
2351.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
236 - some portability fixes/workarounds.

24 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again. 259 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
25 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for 260 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
26 padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked. 261 padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
