1Revision history for Perl extension Coro. 1Revision history for Perl extension Coro.
2 2
30.12 31.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
4 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
5 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
6 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
7 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
8 - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.
9
101.11 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
11 - change of contact address.
12
131.1 Tue Feb 22 20:51:16 CET 2005
14 - support [l]inux method on amd64.
15 - make some context switches while compiling/eval'ing work.
16
171.0 Tue Aug 10 03:47:27 CEST 2004
18 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
19 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
20 padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
21
220.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
23 - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
24
250.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
26 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
27 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
28 as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
29 Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
30 between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
31 fixable).
32 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
33
340.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
35 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
36 faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
37 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
38 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
39 observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
40 of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
41 pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
42 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
43 - fix for threaded perl.
44
450.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
46 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
47 memory leaks.
48 - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
49 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
50 hopefully ignoring it "just works".
51
520.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
53 - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
54 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
55
560.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
57 - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
58 of new features.
59 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
60 Highly correct stuff, that is...
61 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
62 the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.
63
640.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
65 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
66 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
67 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
68 so preselect it.
69
700.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
71 - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost
72 on reading, reported by jason@nichego.net.
73
740.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
75 - added a README.linux-glibc.
76 - new module Coro::Select.
77 - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
78 (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
79 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
80
810.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
82 - made lazy context switching the default.
83 - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
84 was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
85 - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
86 - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
87
880.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
89 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
90 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
91 - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
92 ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
93 - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
94 of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
95
960.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
97 - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
98 - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
99 could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
100
1010.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
102 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
103 (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
104 without Event, which freezes).
105
1060.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
107 - Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.
108
1090.53 Tue Nov 27 21:11:13 CET 2001
110 - some tests for Event.
111 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
112 and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
113 new ones.
114 - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
115 - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.
116
1170.52 Tue Nov 6 21:36:18 CET 2001
118 - ported to cygwin (trivial).
119 patch by Gerrit P. Haase <gp@familiehaase.de>.
120 - small setjmp code fix by Sullivan.DanielJ@epamail.epa.gov.
121
1220.51 Thu Nov 1 20:39:01 CET 2001
123 - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
124 could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
125 error.
126 - added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
127 - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.
128 - implemented terminate with args + join.
129
1300.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001
131 - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.
132 - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
133 in various modules.
134 - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
135 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.
136
1370.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
138 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
139 inside Coro::Handle.
140 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
141 speed reasons.
142 - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
143 sjlj and ucontext should now work.
144 - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
145 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
146 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.
147 - fixed a bug that caused segfault when returning to main task
148 under some circumstances.
149 - other bugfixes.
150
1510.45 Sun Sep 2 02:54:01 CEST 2001
152 - new method Coro::Handle::timeout.
153 - corrected speling of set...name to get...name in Coro::Socket.
154 - Coro::Socket::accept now returns a Coro::Socket, not a Coro::Handle.
155 - Coro::Handle now supports fileno and FILENO.
156 - added eg/myhttpd, a web server.
157 - Coro::Socket now accepts numeric ports as well as "port(number)"
158 syntax.
159 - moved some scheduling primitives into xs code. more to come.
160 - new simple priority system.
161 - implemented Coro::Event using XS, almost four times faster!
162 - small memory corruption problem fixed (boy that was difficult).
163
1640.13 Wed Aug 8 16:53:07 CEST 2001
165 - new method Coro::Handle::readline.
166 - added eg/lwp and Coro::Handle::autoflush, to make LWP work.
167 (see eg/lwp on how to make LWP non-blocking).
168 - renamed Coro::Socket::new_inet to new.
169 - added Coro::Util, some utility functions.
170 - die/eval now works better (still get annoying (but true ;)
171 "Callback called exit" messages).
172 - Coro::Handle now supports timeout, and Coro::Socket Timeout.
173 - much better Coro::Socket support.
174
1750.12 Fri Jul 27 04:19:01 CEST 2001
176 - do not use mmap if neither MAP_ANON nor MAP_ANONYMOUS is defined.
4 - very experimental stack sharing algorithm. not 100% safe ut 177 - very experimental stack sharing algorithm. not 100% safe but
5 should work well in practise ;) 178 should work well in practise ;)
179 - added Coro::RWLock.
180 - Coro::Specific now works.
6 181
70.11 Tue Jul 24 22:49:21 CEST 2001 1820.11 Tue Jul 24 22:49:21 CEST 2001
