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
144.13 Wed Oct 24 07:26:45 CEST 2007
15 - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw.
16 - use a vastly more complicated technique to localise
17 $SIG{__WARN/DIE__} that also works on perls <= 5.8.8.
18 - use a coroutine for the idle callback Coro::Event,
19 instead of running Event in the current coroutine context.
20 This also catches recursive invocations.
21 - actually report fork errors in gethostbyname and inet_aton.
22
234.11 Thu Oct 11 02:40:24 CEST 2007
24 - port to threaded perls.
25
264.1 Thu Oct 11 02:38:16 CEST 2007
27 - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now
28 be local to each coro (see Coro::State).
29 - incompatible change: for very deep reasons, cede and cede_notself
30 cannot return anything, so nothing will be returned.
31 - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested).
32 - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(.
33 - overlay the saved state over the context stack. This saves
34 a few hundred bytes per coroutine on average and also
35 speeds up context switching a bit.
36 - further tune default stack sizes.
37 - (more) correctly calculate stack usage in coro_rss.
38 - Coro::Storable::blocking_* did not properly lock
39 resulting in races between coroutines.
40 - added Coro::Storable::guard.
41 - stopping to trace a coroutine could destroy the cctx of
42 an unrelated coroutine.
43 - explain the relationship between Perl and C coroutines in
44 more detail in Coro::State.
45 - Coro::Util::inet_aton did not short-circuit dotted quad forms,
46 causing a fork per resolve. This also affected Coro::Socket.
47 - switch to a separate stack in $coro->call/eval to avoid
48 invalidating pointers.
49
504.03 Sat Oct 6 21:24:00 CEST 2007
51 - added Coro::throw method.
52 - minor code cleanups.
53
544.02 Sat Oct 6 02:36:47 CEST 2007
55 - fix a very minor per-coroutine memleak (a single codereference).
56 - fixed a bug where the currently in-use c context would be freed
57 prematurely (can happen only when programs change the stacksize
58 or use tracing).
59 - tracing can no longer keep a coro alive after it terminated.
60 - do static branch prediction in the common path for gcc. gives
61 about 2-5% speed improvement here.
62
634.01 Fri Oct 5 22:10:49 CEST 2007
64 - instead of recreating *a* standard output handle we simply
65 use STDOUT, which is faster and hopefully more robust.
