84.1 84.47
9 - force cctx allocation on API calls: we know we need to force one
10 and gcc actually manages to confuse our heuristic nowadays,
11 leading to crashes and worse.
12
134.46 Fri Apr 4 22:05:43 CEST 2008
14 - upgrade libcoro, resulting in pthread-backend (which was only created
15 to fulfill the rules of the programming languages shootout).
16
174.45 Thu Mar 13 11:55:36 CET 2008
18 - fix a file leaking bug in eg/mhyttpd that would allow
19 downloading of any file (reported by oesi).
20 - fix deadlock bug in Coro::Channel (reported by Richard Hundt)
21 (also add testcase).
22 - support Broadcast option in Coro::Socket (patch by Richard Hundt,
23 apparently having loads of fun with that).
24 - implement $state->swap_defsv, ->swap_defav and document ->throw.
25
264.4 Wed Feb 13 16:44:29 CET 2008
27 - only assume .cfi pseudo isns exist on GNU/Linux.
28 - add get_timed method to Coro::Channels.
29 - fixed Coro::Debug manpage.
30 - perl 5.11 compatbility improvement based on patch by
31 Andreas König.
32
334.37 Sun Jan 20 11:25:23 CET 2008
34 - soften the check for an active parser for perl 5.10 (avoiding
35 "Coro::State::transfer called while parsing" in many cases).
36
374.36 Sun Jan 13 10:53:56 CET 2008
38 - reset diehook when terminating from an async_pool as to not
39 trigger any __DIE__ handlers.
40
414.35 Sun Jan 13 04:14:13 CET 2008
42 - "bt" debug command now displays any exceptions
43 from longmess and also skips the innermost
44 stackframes, giving more useufl output.
45 - allow backtraces in coroutines blocked in Coro::EV,
46 at a <1% speed hit.
47 - handle localising of $SIG{__WARN__} and __DIE__
48 properly (with a proper amount of dirty hacking).
49
504.34 Sat Dec 22 17:49:53 CET 2007
51 - upgrade to EV version 2.0 API.
52
534.33 Mon Dec 17 08:36:12 CET 2007
54 - make Coro::AIO etc. loadable in the absence of EV.
55
564.32 Mon Dec 17 07:46:02 CET 2007
57 - majorly improved Coro::Handle's performance with Coro::EV.
58 - implemented the until now mythical Coro::BDB module.
59 - specialcase EV in Coro::AIO and Coro::BDB for extra speed.
60
614.31 Wed Dec 5 12:32:39 CET 2007
62 - remove warn statement form Coro::Util.
63
644.3 Tue Dec 4 20:33:14 CET 2007
65 - calls to the idle function could cause stack corruption
66 when the stack changed.
67 - do no longer rely on the presence of EV::DNS if EV is used
68 (because it is gone), but instead take avdantage of EV::ADNS
69 if available.
70 - add ($) prototypes to all functions in Coro::Storable.
71 - use a conventional (safer) idle callback in Coro::EV.
72 - do accept quickly in Coro::Debug to avoid endless loops.
73
744.22 Fri Nov 30 16:04:04 CET 2007
75 - really use optimised versions for Event and EV in Coro::Util
76 and Coro::Handle.
77
784.21 Sun Nov 25 10:48:59 CET 2007
79 - fix a spurious memory read.
80 - Coro::EV no longer keeps the eventloop "alive".
81
824.2 Fri Nov 9 20:47:05 CET 2007
83 - enable/disable tracing from a new coroutine, not a pooled one.
84 - fix a memleak in Coro::Event.
85 - removed killall call from fork_eval.
86 - made sure store_fd is already loaded so that fork_eval
87 does not have to parse autoload in each subprocess.
88 - only use assembly method if -O switch is in $Config{optimize}.
89 - add (optional) Coro::EV module, so far the best event loop module
90 directly supported by Coro.
91 - if the event model is EV, use EV::DNS to resolve
92 stuff in Coro::Util.
93 - don't get confused by multiple event notifications in Coro::Handle.
94 - initial support for EV (libevent interface).
95 - require Event and EV using configure_requires, to force their existance.
96
974.13 Wed Oct 24 07:26:45 CEST 2007
98 - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw.
99 - use a vastly more complicated technique to localise
100 $SIG{__WARN/DIE__} that also works on perls <= 5.8.8.
101 - use a coroutine for the idle callback Coro::Event,
102 instead of running Event in the current coroutine context.
103 This also catches recursive invocations.
104 - actually report fork errors in gethostbyname and inet_aton.
105
1064.11 Thu Oct 11 02:40:24 CEST 2007
107 - port to threaded perls.
108
1094.1 Thu Oct 11 02:38:16 CEST 2007
9 - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now 110 - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now
10 be local to each coro (see Coro::State). 111 be local to each coro (see Coro::State).
112 - incompatible change: for very deep reasons, cede and cede_notself
113 cannot return anything, so nothing will be returned.
11 - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested). 114 - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested).
12 - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(. 115 - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(.
13 - overlay the saved state over the context stack. This saves 116 - overlay the saved state over the context stack. This saves
14 a few hundred bytes per coroutine on average and also 117 a few hundred bytes per coroutine on average and also
15 speeds up context switching a bit. 118 speeds up context switching a bit.
20 - added Coro::Storable::guard. 123 - added Coro::Storable::guard.
21 - stopping to trace a coroutine could destroy the cctx of 124 - stopping to trace a coroutine could destroy the cctx of
22 an unrelated coroutine. 125 an unrelated coroutine.
23 - explain the relationship between Perl and C coroutines in 126 - explain the relationship between Perl and C coroutines in
24 more detail in Coro::State. 127 more detail in Coro::State.
128 - Coro::Util::inet_aton did not short-circuit dotted quad forms,
129 causing a fork per resolve. This also affected Coro::Socket.
130 - switch to a separate stack in $coro->call/eval to avoid
131 invalidating pointers.

264.03 Sat Oct 6 21:24:00 CEST 2007 1334.03 Sat Oct 6 21:24:00 CEST 2007
27 - added Coro::throw method. 134 - added Coro::throw method.
