8 - fix a spurious memory read.

104.2 Fri Nov 9 20:47:05 CET 2007
11 - enable/disable tracing from a new coroutine, not a pooled one.
12 - fix a memleak in Coro::Event.
13 - removed killall call from fork_eval.
14 - made sure store_fd is already loaded so that fork_eval
15 does not have to parse autoload in each subprocess.
16 - only use assembly method if -O switch is in $Config{optimize}.
17 - add (optional) Coro::EV module, so far the best event loop module
18 directly supported by Coro.
19 - if the event model is EV, use EV::DNS to resolve
20 stuff in Coro::Util.
21 - don't get confused by multiple event notifications in Coro::Handle.
22 - initial support for EV (libevent interface).
23 - require Event and EV using configure_requires, to force their existance.
24
254.13 Wed Oct 24 07:26:45 CEST 2007
26 - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw.
27 - use a vastly more complicated technique to localise
28 $SIG{__WARN/DIE__} that also works on perls <= 5.8.8.
29 - use a coroutine for the idle callback Coro::Event,
30 instead of running Event in the current coroutine context.
31 This also catches recursive invocations.
32 - actually report fork errors in gethostbyname and inet_aton.
33
344.11 Thu Oct 11 02:40:24 CEST 2007
35 - port to threaded perls.
36
374.1 Thu Oct 11 02:38:16 CEST 2007
38 - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now
39 be local to each coro (see Coro::State).
40 - incompatible change: for very deep reasons, cede and cede_notself
41 cannot return anything, so nothing will be returned.
42 - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested).
43 - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(.
44 - overlay the saved state over the context stack. This saves
45 a few hundred bytes per coroutine on average and also
46 speeds up context switching a bit.
47 - further tune default stack sizes.
48 - (more) correctly calculate stack usage in coro_rss.
49 - Coro::Storable::blocking_* did not properly lock
50 resulting in races between coroutines.
51 - added Coro::Storable::guard.
52 - stopping to trace a coroutine could destroy the cctx of
53 an unrelated coroutine.
54 - explain the relationship between Perl and C coroutines in
55 more detail in Coro::State.
56 - Coro::Util::inet_aton did not short-circuit dotted quad forms,
57 causing a fork per resolve. This also affected Coro::Socket.
58 - switch to a separate stack in $coro->call/eval to avoid
59 invalidating pointers.
60
614.03 Sat Oct 6 21:24:00 CEST 2007
62 - added Coro::throw method.
63 - minor code cleanups.
64
654.02 Sat Oct 6 02:36:47 CEST 2007
66 - fix a very minor per-coroutine memleak (a single codereference).
67 - fixed a bug where the currently in-use c context would be freed
68 prematurely (can happen only when programs change the stacksize
69 or use tracing).
70 - tracing can no longer keep a coro alive after it terminated.
71 - do static branch prediction in the common path for gcc. gives
72 about 2-5% speed improvement here.
73
84.01 Fri Oct 5 22:10:49 CEST 2007 744.01 Fri Oct 5 22:10:49 CEST 2007
9 - use a different, less descriptive but hopefully more robust way 75 - instead of recreating *a* standard output handle we simply
10 to create the stdout glob for a newly created coroutine. 76 use STDOUT, which is faster and hopefully more robust.

124.0 Fri Oct 5 12:56:00 CEST 2007 784.0 Fri Oct 5 12:56:00 CEST 2007
13 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze. 79 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze.
14 - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine 80 - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine
15 debugging, tracing and much more. 81 debugging, tracing and much more.
