84.0 84.31 Wed Dec 5 12:32:39 CET 2007
9 - remove warn statement form Coro::Util.
10
114.3 Tue Dec 4 20:33:14 CET 2007
12 - calls to the idle function could cause stack corruption
13 when the stack changed.
14 - do no longer rely on the presence of EV::DNS if EV is used
15 (because it is gone), but instead take avdantage of EV::ADNS
16 if available.
17 - add ($) prototypes to all functions in Coro::Storable.
18 - use a conventional (safer) idle callback in Coro::EV.
19 - do accept quickly in Coro::Debug to avoid endless loops.
20
214.22 Fri Nov 30 16:04:04 CET 2007
22 - really use optimised versions for Event and EV in Coro::Util
23 and Coro::Handle.
24
254.21 Sun Nov 25 10:48:59 CET 2007
26 - fix a spurious memory read.
27 - Coro::EV no longer keeps the eventloop "alive".
28
294.2 Fri Nov 9 20:47:05 CET 2007
30 - enable/disable tracing from a new coroutine, not a pooled one.
31 - fix a memleak in Coro::Event.
32 - removed killall call from fork_eval.
33 - made sure store_fd is already loaded so that fork_eval
34 does not have to parse autoload in each subprocess.
35 - only use assembly method if -O switch is in $Config{optimize}.
36 - add (optional) Coro::EV module, so far the best event loop module
37 directly supported by Coro.
38 - if the event model is EV, use EV::DNS to resolve
39 stuff in Coro::Util.
40 - don't get confused by multiple event notifications in Coro::Handle.
41 - initial support for EV (libevent interface).
42 - require Event and EV using configure_requires, to force their existance.
43
444.13 Wed Oct 24 07:26:45 CEST 2007
45 - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw.
46 - use a vastly more complicated technique to localise
47 $SIG{__WARN/DIE__} that also works on perls <= 5.8.8.
48 - use a coroutine for the idle callback Coro::Event,
49 instead of running Event in the current coroutine context.
50 This also catches recursive invocations.
51 - actually report fork errors in gethostbyname and inet_aton.
52
534.11 Thu Oct 11 02:40:24 CEST 2007
54 - port to threaded perls.
55
564.1 Thu Oct 11 02:38:16 CEST 2007
57 - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now
58 be local to each coro (see Coro::State).
59 - incompatible change: for very deep reasons, cede and cede_notself
60 cannot return anything, so nothing will be returned.
61 - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested).
62 - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(.
63 - overlay the saved state over the context stack. This saves
64 a few hundred bytes per coroutine on average and also
65 speeds up context switching a bit.
66 - further tune default stack sizes.
67 - (more) correctly calculate stack usage in coro_rss.
68 - Coro::Storable::blocking_* did not properly lock
69 resulting in races between coroutines.
70 - added Coro::Storable::guard.
71 - stopping to trace a coroutine could destroy the cctx of
72 an unrelated coroutine.
73 - explain the relationship between Perl and C coroutines in
74 more detail in Coro::State.
75 - Coro::Util::inet_aton did not short-circuit dotted quad forms,
76 causing a fork per resolve. This also affected Coro::Socket.
77 - switch to a separate stack in $coro->call/eval to avoid
78 invalidating pointers.
79
804.03 Sat Oct 6 21:24:00 CEST 2007
81 - added Coro::throw method.
82 - minor code cleanups.
83
844.02 Sat Oct 6 02:36:47 CEST 2007
85 - fix a very minor per-coroutine memleak (a single codereference).
86 - fixed a bug where the currently in-use c context would be freed
87 prematurely (can happen only when programs change the stacksize
88 or use tracing).
89 - tracing can no longer keep a coro alive after it terminated.
90 - do static branch prediction in the common path for gcc. gives
91 about 2-5% speed improvement here.
92
934.01 Fri Oct 5 22:10:49 CEST 2007
94 - instead of recreating *a* standard output handle we simply
95 use STDOUT, which is faster and hopefully more robust.
96
974.0 Fri Oct 5 12:56:00 CEST 2007
9 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze. 98 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze.
10 - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine 99 - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine
11 debugging, tracing and much more. 100 debugging, tracing and much more.
12 - major bug fix: unbelievable, but true: $_, $/ and many other 101 - major bug fix: unbelievable, but true: $_, $/ and many other
