7 7
84.0 8 - do no longer rely on the presence of EV::DNS if EV is used
9 (because it is gone), but instead take avdantage of EV::ADNS
10 if available.
11 - add ($) prototypes to all functions in Coro::Storable.
12 - use a conventional (safer) idle callback in Coro::EV.
13 - do accept quickly in Coro::Debug to avoid endless loops.
14
154.22 Fri Nov 30 16:04:04 CET 2007
16 - really use optimised versions for Event and EV in Coro::Util
17 and Coro::Handle.
18
194.21 Sun Nov 25 10:48:59 CET 2007
20 - fix a spurious memory read.
21 - Coro::EV no longer keeps the eventloop "alive".
22
234.2 Fri Nov 9 20:47:05 CET 2007
24 - enable/disable tracing from a new coroutine, not a pooled one.
25 - fix a memleak in Coro::Event.
26 - removed killall call from fork_eval.
27 - made sure store_fd is already loaded so that fork_eval
28 does not have to parse autoload in each subprocess.
29 - only use assembly method if -O switch is in $Config{optimize}.
30 - add (optional) Coro::EV module, so far the best event loop module
31 directly supported by Coro.
32 - if the event model is EV, use EV::DNS to resolve
33 stuff in Coro::Util.
34 - don't get confused by multiple event notifications in Coro::Handle.
35 - initial support for EV (libevent interface).
36 - require Event and EV using configure_requires, to force their existance.
37
384.13 Wed Oct 24 07:26:45 CEST 2007
39 - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw.
40 - use a vastly more complicated technique to localise
41 $SIG{__WARN/DIE__} that also works on perls <= 5.8.8.
42 - use a coroutine for the idle callback Coro::Event,
43 instead of running Event in the current coroutine context.
44 This also catches recursive invocations.
45 - actually report fork errors in gethostbyname and inet_aton.
46
474.11 Thu Oct 11 02:40:24 CEST 2007
48 - port to threaded perls.
49
504.1 Thu Oct 11 02:38:16 CEST 2007
51 - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now
52 be local to each coro (see Coro::State).
53 - incompatible change: for very deep reasons, cede and cede_notself
54 cannot return anything, so nothing will be returned.
55 - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested).
56 - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(.
57 - overlay the saved state over the context stack. This saves
58 a few hundred bytes per coroutine on average and also
59 speeds up context switching a bit.
60 - further tune default stack sizes.
61 - (more) correctly calculate stack usage in coro_rss.
62 - Coro::Storable::blocking_* did not properly lock
63 resulting in races between coroutines.
64 - added Coro::Storable::guard.
65 - stopping to trace a coroutine could destroy the cctx of
66 an unrelated coroutine.
67 - explain the relationship between Perl and C coroutines in
68 more detail in Coro::State.
69 - Coro::Util::inet_aton did not short-circuit dotted quad forms,
70 causing a fork per resolve. This also affected Coro::Socket.
71 - switch to a separate stack in $coro->call/eval to avoid
72 invalidating pointers.
73
744.03 Sat Oct 6 21:24:00 CEST 2007
75 - added Coro::throw method.
76 - minor code cleanups.
77
784.02 Sat Oct 6 02:36:47 CEST 2007
79 - fix a very minor per-coroutine memleak (a single codereference).
80 - fixed a bug where the currently in-use c context would be freed
81 prematurely (can happen only when programs change the stacksize
82 or use tracing).
83 - tracing can no longer keep a coro alive after it terminated.
84 - do static branch prediction in the common path for gcc. gives
85 about 2-5% speed improvement here.
86
874.01 Fri Oct 5 22:10:49 CEST 2007
88 - instead of recreating *a* standard output handle we simply
89 use STDOUT, which is faster and hopefully more robust.

914.0 Fri Oct 5 12:56:00 CEST 2007
9 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze. 92 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze.
10 - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine 93 - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine
11 debugging, tracing and much more. 94 debugging, tracing and much more.
12 - major bug fix: unbelievable, but true: $_, $/ and many other 95 - major bug fix: unbelievable, but true: $_, $/ and many other
13 "saved" variables actually weren't being saved. This has been fixed, 96 "saved" variables actually weren't being saved. This has been fixed,
