84.46 Fri Apr 4 22:05:43 CEST 2008
9 - upgrade libcoro, resulting in pthread-backend (which was only created
10 to fulfill the rules of the programming languages shootout).
11
124.45 Thu Mar 13 11:55:36 CET 2008
13 - fix a file leaking bug in eg/mhyttpd that would allow
14 downloading of any file (reported by oesi).
15 - fix deadlock bug in Coro::Channel (reported by Richard Hundt)
16 (also add testcase).
17 - support Broadcast option in Coro::Socket (patch by Richard Hundt,
18 apparently having loads of fun with that).
19 - implement $state->swap_defsv, ->swap_defav and document ->throw.
20
214.4 Wed Feb 13 16:44:29 CET 2008
22 - only assume .cfi pseudo isns exist on GNU/Linux.
23 - add get_timed method to Coro::Channels.
24 - fixed Coro::Debug manpage.
25 - perl 5.11 compatbility improvement based on patch by
26 Andreas König.
27
284.37 Sun Jan 20 11:25:23 CET 2008
29 - soften the check for an active parser for perl 5.10 (avoiding
30 "Coro::State::transfer called while parsing" in many cases).
31
324.36 Sun Jan 13 10:53:56 CET 2008
33 - reset diehook when terminating from an async_pool as to not
34 trigger any __DIE__ handlers.
35
364.35 Sun Jan 13 04:14:13 CET 2008
37 - "bt" debug command now displays any exceptions
38 from longmess and also skips the innermost
39 stackframes, giving more useufl output.
40 - allow backtraces in coroutines blocked in Coro::EV,
41 at a <1% speed hit.
42 - handle localising of $SIG{__WARN__} and __DIE__
43 properly (with a proper amount of dirty hacking).
44
454.34 Sat Dec 22 17:49:53 CET 2007
46 - upgrade to EV version 2.0 API.
47
484.33 Mon Dec 17 08:36:12 CET 2007
49 - make Coro::AIO etc. loadable in the absence of EV.
50
514.32 Mon Dec 17 07:46:02 CET 2007
52 - majorly improved Coro::Handle's performance with Coro::EV.
53 - implemented the until now mythical Coro::BDB module.
54 - specialcase EV in Coro::AIO and Coro::BDB for extra speed.
55
564.31 Wed Dec 5 12:32:39 CET 2007
57 - remove warn statement form Coro::Util.
58
594.3 Tue Dec 4 20:33:14 CET 2007
60 - calls to the idle function could cause stack corruption
61 when the stack changed.
62 - do no longer rely on the presence of EV::DNS if EV is used
63 (because it is gone), but instead take avdantage of EV::ADNS
64 if available.
65 - add ($) prototypes to all functions in Coro::Storable.
66 - use a conventional (safer) idle callback in Coro::EV.
67 - do accept quickly in Coro::Debug to avoid endless loops.
68
694.22 Fri Nov 30 16:04:04 CET 2007
70 - really use optimised versions for Event and EV in Coro::Util
71 and Coro::Handle.
72
734.21 Sun Nov 25 10:48:59 CET 2007
74 - fix a spurious memory read.
75 - Coro::EV no longer keeps the eventloop "alive".
76
774.2 Fri Nov 9 20:47:05 CET 2007
78 - enable/disable tracing from a new coroutine, not a pooled one.
79 - fix a memleak in Coro::Event.
80 - removed killall call from fork_eval.
81 - made sure store_fd is already loaded so that fork_eval
82 does not have to parse autoload in each subprocess.
83 - only use assembly method if -O switch is in $Config{optimize}.
84 - add (optional) Coro::EV module, so far the best event loop module
85 directly supported by Coro.
86 - if the event model is EV, use EV::DNS to resolve
87 stuff in Coro::Util.
88 - don't get confused by multiple event notifications in Coro::Handle.
89 - initial support for EV (libevent interface).
90 - require Event and EV using configure_requires, to force their existance.
91
924.13 Wed Oct 24 07:26:45 CEST 2007
93 - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw.
94 - use a vastly more complicated technique to localise
95 $SIG{__WARN/DIE__} that also works on perls <= 5.8.8.
96 - use a coroutine for the idle callback Coro::Event,
97 instead of running Event in the current coroutine context.
98 This also catches recursive invocations.
99 - actually report fork errors in gethostbyname and inet_aton.
100
1014.11 Thu Oct 11 02:40:24 CEST 2007
102 - port to threaded perls.
103
1044.1 Thu Oct 11 02:38:16 CEST 2007
9 - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now 105 - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now
10 be local to each coro (see Coro::State). 106 be local to each coro (see Coro::State).
107 - incompatible change: for very deep reasons, cede and cede_notself
108 cannot return anything, so nothing will be returned.
11 - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested). 109 - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested).
12 - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(. 110 - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(.
13 - overlay the saved state over the context stack. This saves 111 - overlay the saved state over the context stack. This saves
14 a few hundred bytes per coroutine on average and also 112 a few hundred bytes per coroutine on average and also
15 speeds up context switching a bit. 113 speeds up context switching a bit.
114 - further tune default stack sizes.
16 - (more) correctly calculate stack usage in coro_rss. 115 - (more) correctly calculate stack usage in coro_rss.
116 - Coro::Storable::blocking_* did not properly lock
117 resulting in races between coroutines.
118 - added Coro::Storable::guard.
119 - stopping to trace a coroutine could destroy the cctx of
120 an unrelated coroutine.
121 - explain the relationship between Perl and C coroutines in
122 more detail in Coro::State.
123 - Coro::Util::inet_aton did not short-circuit dotted quad forms,
124 causing a fork per resolve. This also affected Coro::Socket.
125 - switch to a separate stack in $coro->call/eval to avoid
126 invalidating pointers.

19 - added Coro::throw method. 129 - added Coro::throw method.
20 - minor code cleanups. 130 - minor code cleanups.
