83.8 8 - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw.

11 - port to threaded perls.

134.1 Thu Oct 11 02:38:16 CEST 2007
14 - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now
15 be local to each coro (see Coro::State).
16 - incompatible change: for very deep reasons, cede and cede_notself
17 cannot return anything, so nothing will be returned.
18 - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested).
19 - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(.
20 - overlay the saved state over the context stack. This saves
21 a few hundred bytes per coroutine on average and also
22 speeds up context switching a bit.
23 - further tune default stack sizes.
24 - (more) correctly calculate stack usage in coro_rss.
25 - Coro::Storable::blocking_* did not properly lock
26 resulting in races between coroutines.
27 - added Coro::Storable::guard.
28 - stopping to trace a coroutine could destroy the cctx of
29 an unrelated coroutine.
30 - explain the relationship between Perl and C coroutines in
31 more detail in Coro::State.
32 - Coro::Util::inet_aton did not short-circuit dotted quad forms,
33 causing a fork per resolve. This also affected Coro::Socket.
34 - switch to a separate stack in $coro->call/eval to avoid
35 invalidating pointers.
36
374.03 Sat Oct 6 21:24:00 CEST 2007
38 - added Coro::throw method.
39 - minor code cleanups.
40
414.02 Sat Oct 6 02:36:47 CEST 2007
42 - fix a very minor per-coroutine memleak (a single codereference).
43 - fixed a bug where the currently in-use c context would be freed
44 prematurely (can happen only when programs change the stacksize
45 or use tracing).
46 - tracing can no longer keep a coro alive after it terminated.
47 - do static branch prediction in the common path for gcc. gives
48 about 2-5% speed improvement here.
49
504.01 Fri Oct 5 22:10:49 CEST 2007
51 - instead of recreating *a* standard output handle we simply
52 use STDOUT, which is faster and hopefully more robust.

544.0 Fri Oct 5 12:56:00 CEST 2007
9 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze. 55 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze.
10 - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine 56 - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine
11 debugging, tracing and much more. 57 debugging, tracing and much more.
58 - major bug fix: unbelievable, but true: $_, $/ and many other
59 "saved" variables actually weren't being saved. This has been fixed,
60 of course, while increasing performance while losing all the save
61 flags.
62 - save flags are gone, and all the api functions dealing with them.
12 - added Coro::Semaphore::adjust. 63 - added Coro::Semaphore::adjust.
13 - added Coro::Util::fork_eval. 64 - added Coro::Util::fork_eval.
14 - added Coro::Storable::{nfreeze,blocking_{freeze,nfreeze}}. 65 - added Coro::Storable::{nfreeze,blocking_{freeze,nfreeze}}.
15 - added Coro::killall. 66 - added Coro::killall.
16 - reduce initial stack sizes to allow for "micro-coroutines". 67 - reduce initial stack sizes to allow for "micro-coroutines".
18 handling to XS (major speed improvement). 69 handling to XS (major speed improvement).
