8 - "bt" debug command now displays any exceptions
9 from longmess.
10
114.34 Sat Dec 22 17:49:53 CET 2007
12 - upgrade to EV version 2.0 API.
13
144.33 Mon Dec 17 08:36:12 CET 2007
15 - make Coro::AIO etc. loadable in the absence of EV.
16
174.32 Mon Dec 17 07:46:02 CET 2007
18 - majorly improved Coro::Handle's performance with Coro::EV.
19 - implemented the until now mythical Coro::BDB module.
20 - specialcase EV in Coro::AIO and Coro::BDB for extra speed.
21
224.31 Wed Dec 5 12:32:39 CET 2007
23 - remove warn statement form Coro::Util.
24
254.3 Tue Dec 4 20:33:14 CET 2007
26 - calls to the idle function could cause stack corruption
27 when the stack changed.
28 - do no longer rely on the presence of EV::DNS if EV is used
29 (because it is gone), but instead take avdantage of EV::ADNS
30 if available.
31 - add ($) prototypes to all functions in Coro::Storable.
32 - use a conventional (safer) idle callback in Coro::EV.
33 - do accept quickly in Coro::Debug to avoid endless loops.
34
354.22 Fri Nov 30 16:04:04 CET 2007
36 - really use optimised versions for Event and EV in Coro::Util
37 and Coro::Handle.
38
394.21 Sun Nov 25 10:48:59 CET 2007
40 - fix a spurious memory read.
41 - Coro::EV no longer keeps the eventloop "alive".
42
434.2 Fri Nov 9 20:47:05 CET 2007
44 - enable/disable tracing from a new coroutine, not a pooled one.
45 - fix a memleak in Coro::Event.
46 - removed killall call from fork_eval.
47 - made sure store_fd is already loaded so that fork_eval
48 does not have to parse autoload in each subprocess.
49 - only use assembly method if -O switch is in $Config{optimize}.
50 - add (optional) Coro::EV module, so far the best event loop module
51 directly supported by Coro.
52 - if the event model is EV, use EV::DNS to resolve
53 stuff in Coro::Util.
54 - don't get confused by multiple event notifications in Coro::Handle.
55 - initial support for EV (libevent interface).
56 - require Event and EV using configure_requires, to force their existance.
57
584.13 Wed Oct 24 07:26:45 CEST 2007
59 - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw.
60 - use a vastly more complicated technique to localise
61 $SIG{__WARN/DIE__} that also works on perls <= 5.8.8.
62 - use a coroutine for the idle callback Coro::Event,
63 instead of running Event in the current coroutine context.
64 This also catches recursive invocations.
65 - actually report fork errors in gethostbyname and inet_aton.
66
674.11 Thu Oct 11 02:40:24 CEST 2007
68 - port to threaded perls.
69
704.1 Thu Oct 11 02:38:16 CEST 2007
9 - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now 71 - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now
10 be local to each coro (see Coro::State). 72 be local to each coro (see Coro::State).
73 - incompatible change: for very deep reasons, cede and cede_notself
74 cannot return anything, so nothing will be returned.
11 - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested). 75 - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested).
12 - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(. 76 - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(.
13 - overlay the saved state over the context stack. This saves 77 - overlay the saved state over the context stack. This saves
14 a few hundred bytes per coroutine on average and also 78 a few hundred bytes per coroutine on average and also
15 speeds up context switching a bit. 79 speeds up context switching a bit.
80 - further tune default stack sizes.
16 - (more) correctly calculate stack usage in coro_rss. 81 - (more) correctly calculate stack usage in coro_rss.
82 - Coro::Storable::blocking_* did not properly lock
83 resulting in races between coroutines.
84 - added Coro::Storable::guard.
85 - stopping to trace a coroutine could destroy the cctx of
86 an unrelated coroutine.
87 - explain the relationship between Perl and C coroutines in
88 more detail in Coro::State.
89 - Coro::Util::inet_aton did not short-circuit dotted quad forms,
90 causing a fork per resolve. This also affected Coro::Socket.
91 - switch to a separate stack in $coro->call/eval to avoid
92 invalidating pointers.
