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

83.8
9 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze.
10 - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine
11 debugging, tracing and much more.
12 - added Coro::Semaphore::adjust.
13 - added Coro::Util::fork_eval.
14 - added Coro::Storable::{nfreeze,blocking_{freeze,nfreeze}}.
15 - added Coro::killall.
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 per default on linux+bsd x86+amd64.
23 - all internal members are named _something for easier subclassing.
24 - many minor tweaks.
25
263.63 Wed May 16 14:10:06 CEST 2007
27 - implement handcoded assembly for x86/amd64 SVR ABI.
28
293.62 Fri Apr 27 21:36:06 CEST 2007
30 - upgrade libcoro (which might set unwind info correctly).
31 - change default on linux to setjmp/longjmp.
32
333.61 Thu Apr 19 12:36:18 CEST 2007
34 - Coro::Storable caused an endless loop when thawing invalid
35 pst's sometimes.
36 - use a Semaphore in Coro::Storable, as Storable doesn't
37 seem to be reentrant (although it is documented to
38 be threadsafe...).
39 - fix Coro::Signal to bring back the original unreliable
40 but stateful semantics.
41 - fixed a lot of typos in Coro.pm (patch submitted by David
42 Steinbrunner, which applied flawlessly).
43
443.6 Sat Apr 14 17:13:31 CEST 2007
45 - added some bugfixes to get eg/myhttpd working again.
46 - added Coro::Storable for often-cede'ing freeze/thaw.
47 - try to do a clean exit when a coroutine calls exit
48 (EXPERIMENTAL).
49 - got rid of indirect call through _coro_init.
50 - updated the partly antique examples in eg/ to
51 work again and be a bit less magic, too.
52 - fixed Coro::Signal semantics to work as documented again.
53
543.55 Sun Mar 25 01:20:47 CET 2007
55 - add SAVE_DEFFH to save the default filehandle and enable
56 it by default.
57 - finally move socket-operations from Coro::Socket to Coro::Handle
58 to be able to unblock foreign sockets.
59 - add Coro::State::save_also and guarded_save.
60 - add count accessor to Coro::Semaphore.
61 - add Coro::State::cctx_stacksize.
62 - just for the fun of it, do not rely on implicit context,
63 which can dramatically improve performance, but people
64 using windows-process-emulation perls do not care much about
65 performance.
66
673.51 Sun Mar 4 14:18:04 CET 2007
68 - fixed a problem when you weakened references to Coro::State's
69 (patch by Yuval Kogman).
70
713.501 Wed Feb 28 12:44:07 CET 2007
72 - rename some global symbols as macosx from hell redefines
73 them without asking.
74
753.5 Tue Feb 13 20:22:53 CET 2007
76 - do AnyEvent model detection earlier, avoiding problems
77 caused by first using AnyEvent and later Coro::Event.
78 - implement and document Coro::Event event objects.
79 - fix a potential problem in Coro::Event causing crashes.
80 - initialise PL_comppad when creating a new coroutine,
81 avoids crashes on early coro destruction.
82
833.41 Mon Jan 22 19:19:49 CET 2007
84 - readline on Coro::Handle did not support undefined $/,
85 nor did it deliver partial lines on EOF or error.
86 - implement malloc fallback for stack allocation because
87 stupid broken idiotic OSX has a stupid broken
88 idiotic fits-the-whole-os mmap "implementation" and
89 my dick feels longer if Coro is portable even to
90 obsolete platforms.
91
923.4 Fri Jan 19 21:52:54 CET 2007
93 - remove t/09_timer.t, as it isn't really testing much
94 but was rather flaky in practise.
95 - async_pool coro would keep arguments and callback alive until
96 it was reused.
97 - cancellation of a coroutine could cause spurious idle calls
98 in cede_notself.
99
1003.3 Sat Jan 6 03:45:00 CET 2007
101 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
102 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
103 documented and - hopefully - improved.
104 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
105 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
106 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
107 that could errronously trigger.
108 - fix various large and small memleaks.
109 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
110 that immediately frees the coroutine data.
111 - cede/cede_notself return a status now.
112 - added Coro::guard function.
113 - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine,
114 I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async,
115 and 128k coros with async_pool).
116 - Coro::AIO now uses the coroutine priority as io priority.
117
1183.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
119 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
120 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
121 - simplify configuration for users.
122 - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
123 their coro replacements.
