9 | - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now |
|
|
10 | be local to each coro (see Coro::State). |
|
|
11 | - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested). |
|
|
12 | - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(. |
|
|
13 | - overlay the saved state over the context stack. This saves |
|
|
14 | a few hundred bytes per coroutine on average and also |
|
|
15 | speeds up context switching a bit. |
|
|
16 | - (more) correctly calculate stack usage in coro_rss. |
|
|

18 | 4.03 Sat Oct 6 21:24:00 CEST 2007 |
|
|
19 | - added Coro::throw method. |
|
|
20 | - minor code cleanups. |
|

|
22 | 4.02 Sat Oct 6 02:36:47 CEST 2007 |
|
|
23 | - fix a very minor per-coroutine memleak (a single codereference). |
|
|
24 | - fixed a bug where the currently in-use c context would be freed |
|
|
25 | prematurely (can happen only when programs change the stacksize |
|
|
26 | or use tracing). |
|
|
27 | - tracing can no longer keep a coro alive after it terminated. |
|
|
28 | - do static branch prediction in the common path for gcc. gives |
|
|
29 | about 2-5% speed improvement here. |
|

|
31 | 4.01 Fri Oct 5 22:10:49 CEST 2007 |
|
|
32 | - instead of recreating *a* standard output handle we simply |
|
|
33 | use STDOUT, which is faster and hopefully more robust. |
|

| 11 | - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze. |
36 | - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze. |
| 12 | - added Coro::Debug, interactive coroutine debugging. |
37 | - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine |
|
|
38 | debugging, tracing and much more. |
|
|
39 | - major bug fix: unbelievable, but true: $_, $/ and many other |
|
|
40 | "saved" variables actually weren't being saved. This has been fixed, |
|
|
41 | of course, while increasing performance while losing all the save |
|
|
42 | flags. |
|
|
43 | - save flags are gone, and all the api functions dealing with them. |
| 13 | - added Coro::Semaphore::adjust. |

47 | - added Coro::killall. |

50 | handling to XS (major speed improvement). |
|
|
51 | - actually croak before modifying important data structures. |
|
|
52 | - refuse to transfer while compiling. |
|
|
53 | - possibly support eval EXPR better now. |
|
|
54 | - enable assembly per default on linux+bsd x86+amd64. |
|
|
55 | - all internal members were renamed _something for easier subclassing. |
| 19 | - many minor tweaks. |
