83.8 84.33 Mon Dec 17 08:36:12 CET 2007
9 - make Coro::AIO etc. loadable in the absence of EV.
10
114.32 Mon Dec 17 07:46:02 CET 2007
12 - majorly improved Coro::Handle's performance with Coro::EV.
13 - implemented the until now mythical Coro::BDB module.
14 - specialcase EV in Coro::AIO and Coro::BDB for extra speed.
15
164.31 Wed Dec 5 12:32:39 CET 2007
17 - remove warn statement form Coro::Util.
18
194.3 Tue Dec 4 20:33:14 CET 2007
20 - calls to the idle function could cause stack corruption
21 when the stack changed.
22 - do no longer rely on the presence of EV::DNS if EV is used
23 (because it is gone), but instead take avdantage of EV::ADNS
24 if available.
25 - add ($) prototypes to all functions in Coro::Storable.
26 - use a conventional (safer) idle callback in Coro::EV.
27 - do accept quickly in Coro::Debug to avoid endless loops.
28
294.22 Fri Nov 30 16:04:04 CET 2007
30 - really use optimised versions for Event and EV in Coro::Util
31 and Coro::Handle.
32
334.21 Sun Nov 25 10:48:59 CET 2007
34 - fix a spurious memory read.
35 - Coro::EV no longer keeps the eventloop "alive".
36
374.2 Fri Nov 9 20:47:05 CET 2007
38 - enable/disable tracing from a new coroutine, not a pooled one.
39 - fix a memleak in Coro::Event.
40 - removed killall call from fork_eval.
41 - made sure store_fd is already loaded so that fork_eval
42 does not have to parse autoload in each subprocess.
43 - only use assembly method if -O switch is in $Config{optimize}.
44 - add (optional) Coro::EV module, so far the best event loop module
45 directly supported by Coro.
46 - if the event model is EV, use EV::DNS to resolve
47 stuff in Coro::Util.
48 - don't get confused by multiple event notifications in Coro::Handle.
49 - initial support for EV (libevent interface).
50 - require Event and EV using configure_requires, to force their existance.
51
524.13 Wed Oct 24 07:26:45 CEST 2007
53 - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw.
54 - use a vastly more complicated technique to localise
55 $SIG{__WARN/DIE__} that also works on perls <= 5.8.8.
56 - use a coroutine for the idle callback Coro::Event,
57 instead of running Event in the current coroutine context.
58 This also catches recursive invocations.
59 - actually report fork errors in gethostbyname and inet_aton.
60
614.11 Thu Oct 11 02:40:24 CEST 2007
62 - port to threaded perls.
63
644.1 Thu Oct 11 02:38:16 CEST 2007
65 - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now
66 be local to each coro (see Coro::State).
67 - incompatible change: for very deep reasons, cede and cede_notself
68 cannot return anything, so nothing will be returned.
69 - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested).
70 - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(.
71 - overlay the saved state over the context stack. This saves
72 a few hundred bytes per coroutine on average and also
73 speeds up context switching a bit.
74 - further tune default stack sizes.
75 - (more) correctly calculate stack usage in coro_rss.
76 - Coro::Storable::blocking_* did not properly lock
77 resulting in races between coroutines.
78 - added Coro::Storable::guard.
79 - stopping to trace a coroutine could destroy the cctx of
80 an unrelated coroutine.
81 - explain the relationship between Perl and C coroutines in
82 more detail in Coro::State.
83 - Coro::Util::inet_aton did not short-circuit dotted quad forms,
84 causing a fork per resolve. This also affected Coro::Socket.
85 - switch to a separate stack in $coro->call/eval to avoid
86 invalidating pointers.
87
884.03 Sat Oct 6 21:24:00 CEST 2007
89 - added Coro::throw method.
90 - minor code cleanups.
91
924.02 Sat Oct 6 02:36:47 CEST 2007
93 - fix a very minor per-coroutine memleak (a single codereference).
94 - fixed a bug where the currently in-use c context would be freed
95 prematurely (can happen only when programs change the stacksize
96 or use tracing).
97 - tracing can no longer keep a coro alive after it terminated.
98 - do static branch prediction in the common path for gcc. gives
99 about 2-5% speed improvement here.
100
1014.01 Fri Oct 5 22:10:49 CEST 2007
102 - instead of recreating *a* standard output handle we simply
103 use STDOUT, which is faster and hopefully more robust.
104
1054.0 Fri Oct 5 12:56:00 CEST 2007
9 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze. 106 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze.
10 - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine 107 - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine
11 debugging, tracing and much more. 108 debugging, tracing and much more.
109 - major bug fix: unbelievable, but true: $_, $/ and many other
110 "saved" variables actually weren't being saved. This has been fixed,
111 of course, while increasing performance while losing all the save
112 flags.
113 - save flags are gone, and all the api functions dealing with them.
12 - added Coro::Semaphore::adjust. 114 - added Coro::Semaphore::adjust.
13 - added Coro::Util::fork_eval. 115 - added Coro::Util::fork_eval.
14 - added Coro::Storable::{nfreeze,blocking_{freeze,nfreeze}}. 116 - added Coro::Storable::{nfreeze,blocking_{freeze,nfreeze}}.
15 - added Coro::killall. 117 - added Coro::killall.
16 - reduce initial stack sizes to allow for "micro-coroutines". 118 - reduce initial stack sizes to allow for "micro-coroutines".

22 - enable assembly per default on linux+bsd x86+amd64. 124 - enable assembly per default on linux+bsd x86+amd64.
