84.0 8 - enable/disable tracing from a new coroutine, not a pooled one.

104.13 Wed Oct 24 07:26:45 CEST 2007
11 - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw.
12 - use a vastly more complicated technique to localise
13 $SIG{__WARN/DIE__} that also works on perls <= 5.8.8.
14 - use a coroutine for the idle callback Coro::Event,
15 instead of running Event in the current coroutine context.
16 This also catches recursive invocations.
17 - actually report fork errors in gethostbyname and inet_aton.
18
194.11 Thu Oct 11 02:40:24 CEST 2007
20 - port to threaded perls.
21
224.1 Thu Oct 11 02:38:16 CEST 2007
23 - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now
24 be local to each coro (see Coro::State).
25 - incompatible change: for very deep reasons, cede and cede_notself
26 cannot return anything, so nothing will be returned.
27 - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested).
28 - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(.
29 - overlay the saved state over the context stack. This saves
30 a few hundred bytes per coroutine on average and also
31 speeds up context switching a bit.
32 - further tune default stack sizes.
33 - (more) correctly calculate stack usage in coro_rss.
34 - Coro::Storable::blocking_* did not properly lock
35 resulting in races between coroutines.
36 - added Coro::Storable::guard.
37 - stopping to trace a coroutine could destroy the cctx of
38 an unrelated coroutine.
39 - explain the relationship between Perl and C coroutines in
40 more detail in Coro::State.
41 - Coro::Util::inet_aton did not short-circuit dotted quad forms,
42 causing a fork per resolve. This also affected Coro::Socket.
43 - switch to a separate stack in $coro->call/eval to avoid
44 invalidating pointers.
45
464.03 Sat Oct 6 21:24:00 CEST 2007
47 - added Coro::throw method.
48 - minor code cleanups.
49
504.02 Sat Oct 6 02:36:47 CEST 2007
51 - fix a very minor per-coroutine memleak (a single codereference).
52 - fixed a bug where the currently in-use c context would be freed
53 prematurely (can happen only when programs change the stacksize
54 or use tracing).
55 - tracing can no longer keep a coro alive after it terminated.
56 - do static branch prediction in the common path for gcc. gives
57 about 2-5% speed improvement here.
58
594.01 Fri Oct 5 22:10:49 CEST 2007
60 - instead of recreating *a* standard output handle we simply
61 use STDOUT, which is faster and hopefully more robust.

634.0 Fri Oct 5 12:56:00 CEST 2007
