1Revision history for Perl extension Coro. 1Revision history for Perl extension Coro.
2 2
3TODO: better (earlier) error messages on broken transfer's 3TODO: destroy gets only called on cancel: fix(?)
4TODO: should explore PerlIO::via::CoroCede and PerlIO::via::CoroAIO.
5TODO: maybe implement a default message channel, very much like Erlang
6 (which is cool in a lot of important aspects (failures!),
7 but very lacking in others (higher level ipc)).

10 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze.
11 - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine
12 debugging, tracing and much more.
13 - added Coro::Semaphore::adjust.
14 - added Coro::Util::fork_eval.
15 - added Coro::Storable::{nfreeze,blocking_{freeze,nfreeze}}.
16 - reduce initial stack sizes to allow for "micro-coroutines".
17 - better async_pool resource management, moved parts of async_pool
18 handling to XS (major speed improvement).
19 - actually croak before modifying important data structures.
20 - refuse to transfer while compiling.
21 - possibly support eval EXPR better now.
22 - enable assembly method per default on linux+bsd x86+amd64.
23 - many minor tweaks.
24
253.63 Wed May 16 14:10:06 CEST 2007
26 - implement handcoded assembly for x86/amd64 SVR ABI.
27
283.62 Fri Apr 27 21:36:06 CEST 2007
29 - upgrade libcoro (which might set unwind info correctly).
30 - change default on linux to setjmp/longjmp.
31
323.61 Thu Apr 19 12:36:18 CEST 2007
33 - Coro::Storable caused an endless loop when thawing invalid
34 pst's sometimes.
35 - use a Semaphore in Coro::Storable, as Storable doesn't
36 seem to be reentrant (although it is documented to
37 be threadsafe...).
38 - fix Coro::Signal to bring back the original unreliable
39 but stateful semantics.
40 - fixed a lot of typos in Coro.pm (patch submitted by David
41 Steinbrunner, which applied flawlessly).
42
433.6 Sat Apr 14 17:13:31 CEST 2007
44 - added some bugfixes to get eg/myhttpd working again.
45 - added Coro::Storable for often-cede'ing freeze/thaw.
46 - try to do a clean exit when a coroutine calls exit
47 (EXPERIMENTAL).
48 - got rid of indirect call through _coro_init.
49 - updated the partly antique examples in eg/ to
50 work again and be a bit less magic, too.
51 - fixed Coro::Signal semantics to work as documented again.
52
533.55 Sun Mar 25 01:20:47 CET 2007
54 - add SAVE_DEFFH to save the default filehandle and enable
55 it by default.
56 - finally move socket-operations from Coro::Socket to Coro::Handle
57 to be able to unblock foreign sockets.
58 - add Coro::State::save_also and guarded_save.
59 - add count accessor to Coro::Semaphore.
60 - add Coro::State::cctx_stacksize.
61 - just for the fun of it, do not rely on implicit context,
62 which can dramatically improve performance, but people
63 using windows-process-emulation perls do not care much about
64 performance.
65
663.51 Sun Mar 4 14:18:04 CET 2007
67 - fixed a problem when you weakened references to Coro::State's
68 (patch by Yuval Kogman).
69
703.501 Wed Feb 28 12:44:07 CET 2007
71 - rename some global symbols as macosx from hell redefines
72 them without asking.
73
743.5 Tue Feb 13 20:22:53 CET 2007
75 - do AnyEvent model detection earlier, avoiding problems
76 caused by first using AnyEvent and later Coro::Event.
77 - implement and document Coro::Event event objects.
78 - fix a potential problem in Coro::Event causing crashes.
79 - initialise PL_comppad when creating a new coroutine,
80 avoids crashes on early coro destruction.
81
823.41 Mon Jan 22 19:19:49 CET 2007
83 - readline on Coro::Handle did not support undefined $/,
84 nor did it deliver partial lines on EOF or error.
85 - implement malloc fallback for stack allocation because
86 stupid broken idiotic OSX has a stupid broken
87 idiotic fits-the-whole-os mmap "implementation" and
88 my dick feels longer if Coro is portable even to
89 obsolete platforms.
90
913.4 Fri Jan 19 21:52:54 CET 2007
92 - remove t/09_timer.t, as it isn't really testing much
93 but was rather flaky in practise.
94 - async_pool coro would keep arguments and callback alive until
95 it was reused.
96 - cancellation of a coroutine could cause spurious idle calls
97 in cede_notself.
98
993.3 Sat Jan 6 03:45:00 CET 2007
100 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
101 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
102 documented and - hopefully - improved.
5 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority. 103 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
6 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds). 104 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
105 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
106 that could errronously trigger.
107 - fix various large and small memleaks.
108 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
109 that immediately frees the coroutine data.
110 - cede/cede_notself return a status now.
111 - added Coro::guard function.
112 - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine,
113 I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async,
114 and 128k coros with async_pool).
115 - Coro::AIO now uses the coroutine priority as io priority.

83.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006 1173.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
9 - improve portability to slightly older perls. 118 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
10 - use cleaner coroutine destruction. 119 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
11 - simplify configuration for users. 120 - simplify configuration for users.
