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: "internals mode" 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 - added Coro::killall.
17 - reduce initial stack sizes to allow for "micro-coroutines".
18 - better async_pool resource management, moved parts of async_pool
19 handling to XS (major speed improvement).
20 - actually croak before modifying important data structures.
21 - refuse to transfer while compiling.
22 - possibly support eval EXPR better now.
23 - enable assembly per default on linux+bsd x86+amd64.
24 - all internal members are named _something for easier subclassing.
25 - many minor tweaks.
26
273.63 Wed May 16 14:10:06 CEST 2007
28 - implement handcoded assembly for x86/amd64 SVR ABI.
29
303.62 Fri Apr 27 21:36:06 CEST 2007
31 - upgrade libcoro (which might set unwind info correctly).
32 - change default on linux to setjmp/longjmp.
33
343.61 Thu Apr 19 12:36:18 CEST 2007
35 - Coro::Storable caused an endless loop when thawing invalid
36 pst's sometimes.
37 - use a Semaphore in Coro::Storable, as Storable doesn't
38 seem to be reentrant (although it is documented to
39 be threadsafe...).
40 - fix Coro::Signal to bring back the original unreliable
41 but stateful semantics.
42 - fixed a lot of typos in Coro.pm (patch submitted by David
43 Steinbrunner, which applied flawlessly).
44
453.6 Sat Apr 14 17:13:31 CEST 2007
46 - added some bugfixes to get eg/myhttpd working again.
47 - added Coro::Storable for often-cede'ing freeze/thaw.
48 - try to do a clean exit when a coroutine calls exit
49 (EXPERIMENTAL).
50 - got rid of indirect call through _coro_init.
51 - updated the partly antique examples in eg/ to
52 work again and be a bit less magic, too.
53 - fixed Coro::Signal semantics to work as documented again.
54
553.55 Sun Mar 25 01:20:47 CET 2007
56 - add SAVE_DEFFH to save the default filehandle and enable
57 it by default.
58 - finally move socket-operations from Coro::Socket to Coro::Handle
59 to be able to unblock foreign sockets.
60 - add Coro::State::save_also and guarded_save.
61 - add count accessor to Coro::Semaphore.
62 - add Coro::State::cctx_stacksize.
63 - just for the fun of it, do not rely on implicit context,
64 which can dramatically improve performance, but people
65 using windows-process-emulation perls do not care much about
66 performance.
67
683.51 Sun Mar 4 14:18:04 CET 2007
69 - fixed a problem when you weakened references to Coro::State's
70 (patch by Yuval Kogman).
71
723.501 Wed Feb 28 12:44:07 CET 2007
73 - rename some global symbols as macosx from hell redefines
74 them without asking.
75
763.5 Tue Feb 13 20:22:53 CET 2007
77 - do AnyEvent model detection earlier, avoiding problems
78 caused by first using AnyEvent and later Coro::Event.
79 - implement and document Coro::Event event objects.
80 - fix a potential problem in Coro::Event causing crashes.
81 - initialise PL_comppad when creating a new coroutine,
82 avoids crashes on early coro destruction.
83
843.41 Mon Jan 22 19:19:49 CET 2007
85 - readline on Coro::Handle did not support undefined $/,
86 nor did it deliver partial lines on EOF or error.
87 - implement malloc fallback for stack allocation because
88 stupid broken idiotic OSX has a stupid broken
89 idiotic fits-the-whole-os mmap "implementation" and
90 my dick feels longer if Coro is portable even to
91 obsolete platforms.
92
933.4 Fri Jan 19 21:52:54 CET 2007
94 - remove t/09_timer.t, as it isn't really testing much
95 but was rather flaky in practise.
96 - async_pool coro would keep arguments and callback alive until
97 it was reused.
98 - cancellation of a coroutine could cause spurious idle calls
99 in cede_notself.
100
1013.3 Sat Jan 6 03:45:00 CET 2007
102 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
103 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
104 documented and - hopefully - improved.
105 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
106 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
107 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
108 that could errronously trigger.
109 - fix various large and small memleaks.
110 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
111 that immediately frees the coroutine data.
112 - cede/cede_notself return a status now.
113 - added Coro::guard function.
114 - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine,
115 I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async,
116 and 128k coros with async_pool).
117 - Coro::AIO now uses the coroutine priority as io priority.
118
1193.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
6 - improve portability to slightly older perls. 120 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
7 - use cleaner coroutine destruction. 121 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
122 - simplify configuration for users.
123 - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
124 their coro replacements.
