83.8 8 - enable/disable tracing from a new coroutine, not a pooled one.
9 - fix a memleak in Coro::Event.
10 - removed killall call from fork_eval.
11 - made sure store_fd is already loaded so that fork_eval
12 does not have to parse autoload in each subprocess.
13 - if the event model is EV, use EV::DNS to resolve
14 stuff in Coro::Util.
15 - don't get confused by multiple event notifications in Coro::Handle.
16 - initial support for EV (libevent interface).
17
184.13 Wed Oct 24 07:26:45 CEST 2007
19 - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw.
20 - use a vastly more complicated technique to localise
21 $SIG{__WARN/DIE__} that also works on perls <= 5.8.8.
22 - use a coroutine for the idle callback Coro::Event,
23 instead of running Event in the current coroutine context.
24 This also catches recursive invocations.
25 - actually report fork errors in gethostbyname and inet_aton.
26
274.11 Thu Oct 11 02:40:24 CEST 2007
28 - port to threaded perls.
29
304.1 Thu Oct 11 02:38:16 CEST 2007
31 - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now
32 be local to each coro (see Coro::State).
33 - incompatible change: for very deep reasons, cede and cede_notself
34 cannot return anything, so nothing will be returned.
35 - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested).
36 - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(.
37 - overlay the saved state over the context stack. This saves
38 a few hundred bytes per coroutine on average and also
39 speeds up context switching a bit.
40 - further tune default stack sizes.
41 - (more) correctly calculate stack usage in coro_rss.
42 - Coro::Storable::blocking_* did not properly lock
43 resulting in races between coroutines.
44 - added Coro::Storable::guard.
45 - stopping to trace a coroutine could destroy the cctx of
46 an unrelated coroutine.
47 - explain the relationship between Perl and C coroutines in
48 more detail in Coro::State.
49 - Coro::Util::inet_aton did not short-circuit dotted quad forms,
50 causing a fork per resolve. This also affected Coro::Socket.
51 - switch to a separate stack in $coro->call/eval to avoid
52 invalidating pointers.
53
544.03 Sat Oct 6 21:24:00 CEST 2007
55 - added Coro::throw method.
56 - minor code cleanups.
57
584.02 Sat Oct 6 02:36:47 CEST 2007
59 - fix a very minor per-coroutine memleak (a single codereference).
60 - fixed a bug where the currently in-use c context would be freed
61 prematurely (can happen only when programs change the stacksize
62 or use tracing).
63 - tracing can no longer keep a coro alive after it terminated.
64 - do static branch prediction in the common path for gcc. gives
65 about 2-5% speed improvement here.
66
674.01 Fri Oct 5 22:10:49 CEST 2007
68 - instead of recreating *a* standard output handle we simply
69 use STDOUT, which is faster and hopefully more robust.
70
714.0 Fri Oct 5 12:56:00 CEST 2007
9 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze. 72 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze.
10 - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine 73 - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine
11 debugging, tracing and much more. 74 debugging, tracing and much more.
75 - major bug fix: unbelievable, but true: $_, $/ and many other
76 "saved" variables actually weren't being saved. This has been fixed,
77 of course, while increasing performance while losing all the save
78 flags.
79 - save flags are gone, and all the api functions dealing with them.
12 - added Coro::Semaphore::adjust. 80 - added Coro::Semaphore::adjust.
13 - added Coro::Util::fork_eval. 81 - added Coro::Util::fork_eval.
14 - added Coro::Storable::{nfreeze,blocking_{freeze,nfreeze}}. 82 - added Coro::Storable::{nfreeze,blocking_{freeze,nfreeze}}.
15 - added Coro::killall. 83 - added Coro::killall.
16 - reduce initial stack sizes to allow for "micro-coroutines". 84 - reduce initial stack sizes to allow for "micro-coroutines".
18 handling to XS (major speed improvement). 86 handling to XS (major speed improvement).
