8 | 4.6 |
|
|
9 | - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: sub/code attributes are no longer supported |
|
|
10 | by the Coro module. It was a mistake to have it in the first place. |
|
|
11 | - (experimental) support for activestate perl 5.10 (method "w"). |
|
|
12 | - (experimental) support for strawberry perl (method "a"). |
|
|
13 | - coro_sigelem_set did not return a value although it had to, |
|
|
14 | actual impact unknown. |
|
|

|
|
16 | 4.51 Mon Apr 14 13:28:27 CEST 2008 |
|
|
17 | - make it compile again on 5.8. |
|
|
18 | |
|
|
19 | 4.50 Thu Apr 10 09:43:17 CEST 2008 |
|
|
20 | - I did it twice! (see 4.49). |
|
|
21 | |
|
|
22 | 4.49 Sun Apr 6 21:23:31 CEST 2008 |
|
|
23 | - grr, instead of compiling the recent changes on 5.10 only they |
|
|
24 | were compiled on 5.8 only. |
|
|
25 | |
|
|
26 | 4.48 Sun Apr 6 20:36:46 CEST 2008 |
|
|
27 | - allow coroutine switches during eval's under 5.10.x, as it seems |
|
|
28 | the parser is a per-interpreter option now, so this is safe |
|
|
29 | (this might fix the odd crashing bug). |
|
|
30 | - drop support for 5.9.x versions: they are dead, jim. |
|
|
31 | |
|
|
32 | 4.47 Sun Apr 6 00:37:52 CEST 2008 |
|
|
33 | - force cctx allocation on API calls: we know we need to force one |
|
|
34 | and gcc actually manages to confuse our heuristic nowadays, |
|
|
35 | leading to crashes and worse. |
|
|
36 | - document force_cctx. |
|
|
37 | |
|
|
38 | 4.46 Fri Apr 4 22:05:43 CEST 2008 |
|
|
39 | - upgrade libcoro, resulting in pthread-backend (which was only created |
|
|
40 | to fulfill the rules of the programming languages shootout). |
|
|
41 | |
|
|
42 | 4.45 Thu Mar 13 11:55:36 CET 2008 |
|
|
43 | - fix a file leaking bug in eg/mhyttpd that would allow |
|
|
44 | downloading of any file (reported by oesi). |
|
|
45 | - fix deadlock bug in Coro::Channel (reported by Richard Hundt) |
|
|
46 | (also add testcase). |
|
|
47 | - support Broadcast option in Coro::Socket (patch by Richard Hundt, |
|
|
48 | apparently having loads of fun with that). |
|
|
49 | - implement $state->swap_defsv, ->swap_defav and document ->throw. |
|
|
50 | |
|
|
51 | 4.4 Wed Feb 13 16:44:29 CET 2008 |
|
|
52 | - only assume .cfi pseudo isns exist on GNU/Linux. |
|
|
53 | - add get_timed method to Coro::Channels. |
|
|
54 | - fixed Coro::Debug manpage. |
|
|
55 | - perl 5.11 compatbility improvement based on patch by |
|
|
56 | Andreas König. |
|
|
57 | |
|
|
58 | 4.37 Sun Jan 20 11:25:23 CET 2008 |
|
|
59 | - soften the check for an active parser for perl 5.10 (avoiding |
|
|
60 | "Coro::State::transfer called while parsing" in many cases). |
|
|
61 | |
|
|
62 | 4.36 Sun Jan 13 10:53:56 CET 2008 |
|
|
63 | - reset diehook when terminating from an async_pool as to not |
|
|
64 | trigger any __DIE__ handlers. |
|
|
65 | |
|
|
66 | 4.35 Sun Jan 13 04:14:13 CET 2008 |
|
|
67 | - "bt" debug command now displays any exceptions |
|
|
68 | from longmess and also skips the innermost |
|
|
69 | stackframes, giving more useufl output. |
|
|
70 | - allow backtraces in coroutines blocked in Coro::EV, |
|
|
71 | at a <1% speed hit. |
|
|
72 | - handle localising of $SIG{__WARN__} and __DIE__ |
|
|
73 | properly (with a proper amount of dirty hacking). |
|
|
74 | |
|
|
75 | 4.34 Sat Dec 22 17:49:53 CET 2007 |
|
|
76 | - upgrade to EV version 2.0 API. |
|
|
77 | |
|
|
78 | 4.33 Mon Dec 17 08:36:12 CET 2007 |
|
|
79 | - make Coro::AIO etc. loadable in the absence of EV. |
|
|
80 | |
|
|
81 | 4.32 Mon Dec 17 07:46:02 CET 2007 |
|
|
82 | - majorly improved Coro::Handle's performance with Coro::EV. |
|
|
83 | - implemented the until now mythical Coro::BDB module. |
|
|
84 | - specialcase EV in Coro::AIO and Coro::BDB for extra speed. |
|
|
85 | |
|
|
86 | 4.31 Wed Dec 5 12:32:39 CET 2007 |
|
|
87 | - remove warn statement form Coro::Util. |
|
|
88 | |
|
|
89 | 4.3 Tue Dec 4 20:33:14 CET 2007 |
|
|
90 | - calls to the idle function could cause stack corruption |
|
|
91 | when the stack changed. |
|
|
92 | - do no longer rely on the presence of EV::DNS if EV is used |
|
|
93 | (because it is gone), but instead take avdantage of EV::ADNS |
|
|
94 | if available. |
|
|
95 | - add ($) prototypes to all functions in Coro::Storable. |
|
|
96 | - use a conventional (safer) idle callback in Coro::EV. |
|
|
97 | - do accept quickly in Coro::Debug to avoid endless loops. |
|
|
98 | |
|
|
99 | 4.22 Fri Nov 30 16:04:04 CET 2007 |
|
|
100 | - really use optimised versions for Event and EV in Coro::Util |
|
|
101 | and Coro::Handle. |
|
|
102 | |
|
|
103 | 4.21 Sun Nov 25 10:48:59 CET 2007 |
|
|
104 | - fix a spurious memory read. |
|
|
105 | - Coro::EV no longer keeps the eventloop "alive". |
|
|
106 | |
|
|
107 | 4.2 Fri Nov 9 20:47:05 CET 2007 |
|
|
108 | - enable/disable tracing from a new coroutine, not a pooled one. |
|
|
109 | - fix a memleak in Coro::Event. |
|
|
110 | - removed killall call from fork_eval. |
|
|
111 | - made sure store_fd is already loaded so that fork_eval |
|
|
112 | does not have to parse autoload in each subprocess. |
|
|
113 | - only use assembly method if -O switch is in $Config{optimize}. |
|
|
114 | - add (optional) Coro::EV module, so far the best event loop module |
|
|
115 | directly supported by Coro. |
|
|
116 | - if the event model is EV, use EV::DNS to resolve |
|
|
117 | stuff in Coro::Util. |
|
|
118 | - don't get confused by multiple event notifications in Coro::Handle. |
|
|
119 | - initial support for EV (libevent interface). |
|
|
120 | - require Event and EV using configure_requires, to force their existance. |
|
|
121 | |
|
|
122 | 4.13 Wed Oct 24 07:26:45 CEST 2007 |
|
|
123 | - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw. |
|
|
124 | - use a vastly more complicated technique to localise |
|
|
125 | $SIG{__WARN/DIE__} that also works on perls <= 5.8.8. |
|
|
126 | - use a coroutine for the idle callback Coro::Event, |
|
|
127 | instead of running Event in the current coroutine context. |
|
|
128 | This also catches recursive invocations. |
|
|
129 | - actually report fork errors in gethostbyname and inet_aton. |
|
|
130 | |
|
|
131 | 4.11 Thu Oct 11 02:40:24 CEST 2007 |
|
|
132 | - port to threaded perls. |
|
|
133 | |
|
|
134 | 4.1 Thu Oct 11 02:38:16 CEST 2007 |
| 9 | - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now |
135 | - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now |
| 10 | be local to each coro (see Coro::State). |
136 | be local to each coro (see Coro::State). |
| 11 | - incompatible change: for very deep reasons, cede and cede_notself |
137 | - incompatible change: for very deep reasons, cede and cede_notself |
| 12 | cannot return anything, so nothing will be returned. |
138 | cannot return anything, so nothing will be returned. |
| 13 | - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested). |
139 | - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested). |
