84.13 8 - allow coroutine switches during eval's under 5.10.x, as it seems
9 the parser is a per-interpreter option now, so this is safe
10 (this might fix the odd crashing bug).
11 - drop support for 5.9.x versions, they are dead, jim.
12
134.47 Sun Apr 6 00:37:52 CEST 2008
14 - force cctx allocation on API calls: we know we need to force one
15 and gcc actually manages to confuse our heuristic nowadays,
16 leading to crashes and worse.
17 - document force_cctx.
18
194.46 Fri Apr 4 22:05:43 CEST 2008
20 - upgrade libcoro, resulting in pthread-backend (which was only created
21 to fulfill the rules of the programming languages shootout).
22
234.45 Thu Mar 13 11:55:36 CET 2008
24 - fix a file leaking bug in eg/mhyttpd that would allow
25 downloading of any file (reported by oesi).
26 - fix deadlock bug in Coro::Channel (reported by Richard Hundt)
27 (also add testcase).
28 - support Broadcast option in Coro::Socket (patch by Richard Hundt,
29 apparently having loads of fun with that).
30 - implement $state->swap_defsv, ->swap_defav and document ->throw.
31
324.4 Wed Feb 13 16:44:29 CET 2008
33 - only assume .cfi pseudo isns exist on GNU/Linux.
34 - add get_timed method to Coro::Channels.
35 - fixed Coro::Debug manpage.
36 - perl 5.11 compatbility improvement based on patch by
37 Andreas König.
38
394.37 Sun Jan 20 11:25:23 CET 2008
40 - soften the check for an active parser for perl 5.10 (avoiding
41 "Coro::State::transfer called while parsing" in many cases).
42
434.36 Sun Jan 13 10:53:56 CET 2008
44 - reset diehook when terminating from an async_pool as to not
45 trigger any __DIE__ handlers.
46
474.35 Sun Jan 13 04:14:13 CET 2008
48 - "bt" debug command now displays any exceptions
49 from longmess and also skips the innermost
50 stackframes, giving more useufl output.
51 - allow backtraces in coroutines blocked in Coro::EV,
52 at a <1% speed hit.
53 - handle localising of $SIG{__WARN__} and __DIE__
54 properly (with a proper amount of dirty hacking).
55
564.34 Sat Dec 22 17:49:53 CET 2007
57 - upgrade to EV version 2.0 API.
58
594.33 Mon Dec 17 08:36:12 CET 2007
60 - make Coro::AIO etc. loadable in the absence of EV.
61
624.32 Mon Dec 17 07:46:02 CET 2007
63 - majorly improved Coro::Handle's performance with Coro::EV.
64 - implemented the until now mythical Coro::BDB module.
65 - specialcase EV in Coro::AIO and Coro::BDB for extra speed.
66
674.31 Wed Dec 5 12:32:39 CET 2007
68 - remove warn statement form Coro::Util.
69
704.3 Tue Dec 4 20:33:14 CET 2007
71 - calls to the idle function could cause stack corruption
72 when the stack changed.
73 - do no longer rely on the presence of EV::DNS if EV is used
74 (because it is gone), but instead take avdantage of EV::ADNS
75 if available.
76 - add ($) prototypes to all functions in Coro::Storable.
77 - use a conventional (safer) idle callback in Coro::EV.
78 - do accept quickly in Coro::Debug to avoid endless loops.
79
804.22 Fri Nov 30 16:04:04 CET 2007
81 - really use optimised versions for Event and EV in Coro::Util
82 and Coro::Handle.
83
844.21 Sun Nov 25 10:48:59 CET 2007
85 - fix a spurious memory read.
86 - Coro::EV no longer keeps the eventloop "alive".
87
884.2 Fri Nov 9 20:47:05 CET 2007
89 - enable/disable tracing from a new coroutine, not a pooled one.
90 - fix a memleak in Coro::Event.
91 - removed killall call from fork_eval.
92 - made sure store_fd is already loaded so that fork_eval
93 does not have to parse autoload in each subprocess.
94 - only use assembly method if -O switch is in $Config{optimize}.
95 - add (optional) Coro::EV module, so far the best event loop module
96 directly supported by Coro.
97 - if the event model is EV, use EV::DNS to resolve
98 stuff in Coro::Util.
99 - don't get confused by multiple event notifications in Coro::Handle.
100 - initial support for EV (libevent interface).
101 - require Event and EV using configure_requires, to force their existance.
102
1034.13 Wed Oct 24 07:26:45 CEST 2007
9 - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw. 104 - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw.
10 - use a vastly more complicated technique to localise 105 - use a vastly more complicated technique to localise
11 $SIG{__WARN/DIE__} that also works on perls <= 5.8.8. 106 $SIG{__WARN/DIE__} that also works on perls <= 5.8.8.
12 - use a coroutine for the idle callback Coro::Event, 107 - use a coroutine for the idle callback Coro::Event,
13 instead of running Event in the current coroutine context. 108 instead of running Event in the current coroutine context.
14 This also catches recursive invocations. 109 This also catches recursive invocations.
110 - actually report fork errors in gethostbyname and inet_aton.

17 - port to threaded perls. 113 - port to threaded perls.
