2 2
3TODO: better (earlier) error messages on broken transfer's
4TODO: destroy gets only called on cancel: fix(?)
5TODO: should explore PerlIO::via::CoroCede and PerlIO::via::CoroAIO. 3TODO: should explore PerlIO::via::CoroCede and PerlIO::via::CoroAIO.
4TODO: maybe implement a default message channel, very much like Erlang
5 (which is cool in a lot of important aspects (failures!),
6 but very lacking in others (higher level ipc)).
6 7
7TODO: eg/event 8 - enable/disable tracing from a new coroutine, not a pooled one.
9 - fix a memleak in Coro::Event.
10 - removed killall call from fork_eval.
11 - made sure store_fd is already loaded so that fork_eval
12 does not have to parse autoload in each subprocess.
13
144.13 Wed Oct 24 07:26:45 CEST 2007
15 - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw.
16 - use a vastly more complicated technique to localise
17 $SIG{__WARN/DIE__} that also works on perls <= 5.8.8.
18 - use a coroutine for the idle callback Coro::Event,
19 instead of running Event in the current coroutine context.
20 This also catches recursive invocations.
21 - actually report fork errors in gethostbyname and inet_aton.
22
234.11 Thu Oct 11 02:40:24 CEST 2007
24 - port to threaded perls.
25
264.1 Thu Oct 11 02:38:16 CEST 2007
27 - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now
28 be local to each coro (see Coro::State).
29 - incompatible change: for very deep reasons, cede and cede_notself
30 cannot return anything, so nothing will be returned.
31 - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested).
32 - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(.
33 - overlay the saved state over the context stack. This saves
34 a few hundred bytes per coroutine on average and also
35 speeds up context switching a bit.
36 - further tune default stack sizes.
37 - (more) correctly calculate stack usage in coro_rss.
38 - Coro::Storable::blocking_* did not properly lock
39 resulting in races between coroutines.
40 - added Coro::Storable::guard.
41 - stopping to trace a coroutine could destroy the cctx of
42 an unrelated coroutine.
43 - explain the relationship between Perl and C coroutines in
44 more detail in Coro::State.
45 - Coro::Util::inet_aton did not short-circuit dotted quad forms,
46 causing a fork per resolve. This also affected Coro::Socket.
47 - switch to a separate stack in $coro->call/eval to avoid
48 invalidating pointers.
49
504.03 Sat Oct 6 21:24:00 CEST 2007
51 - added Coro::throw method.
52 - minor code cleanups.
53
544.02 Sat Oct 6 02:36:47 CEST 2007
55 - fix a very minor per-coroutine memleak (a single codereference).
56 - fixed a bug where the currently in-use c context would be freed
57 prematurely (can happen only when programs change the stacksize
58 or use tracing).
59 - tracing can no longer keep a coro alive after it terminated.
60 - do static branch prediction in the common path for gcc. gives
61 about 2-5% speed improvement here.
62
634.01 Fri Oct 5 22:10:49 CEST 2007
64 - instead of recreating *a* standard output handle we simply
65 use STDOUT, which is faster and hopefully more robust.
66
674.0 Fri Oct 5 12:56:00 CEST 2007
68 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze.
69 - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine
70 debugging, tracing and much more.
71 - major bug fix: unbelievable, but true: $_, $/ and many other
72 "saved" variables actually weren't being saved. This has been fixed,
73 of course, while increasing performance while losing all the save
74 flags.
75 - save flags are gone, and all the api functions dealing with them.
76 - added Coro::Semaphore::adjust.
77 - added Coro::Util::fork_eval.
78 - added Coro::Storable::{nfreeze,blocking_{freeze,nfreeze}}.
79 - added Coro::killall.
80 - reduce initial stack sizes to allow for "micro-coroutines".
81 - better async_pool resource management, moved parts of async_pool
82 handling to XS (major speed improvement).
83 - actually croak before modifying important data structures.
84 - refuse to transfer while compiling.
85 - possibly support eval EXPR better now.
86 - enable assembly per default on linux+bsd x86+amd64.
87 - all internal members were renamed _something for easier subclassing.
88 - many minor tweaks.
89
903.63 Wed May 16 14:10:06 CEST 2007
91 - implement handcoded assembly for x86/amd64 SVR ABI.
92
933.62 Fri Apr 27 21:36:06 CEST 2007
94 - upgrade libcoro (which might set unwind info correctly).
95 - change default on linux to setjmp/longjmp.
96
973.61 Thu Apr 19 12:36:18 CEST 2007
98 - Coro::Storable caused an endless loop when thawing invalid
99 pst's sometimes.
100 - use a Semaphore in Coro::Storable, as Storable doesn't
101 seem to be reentrant (although it is documented to
102 be threadsafe...).
103 - fix Coro::Signal to bring back the original unreliable
104 but stateful semantics.
105 - fixed a lot of typos in Coro.pm (patch submitted by David
106 Steinbrunner, which applied flawlessly).
107
1083.6 Sat Apr 14 17:13:31 CEST 2007
8 - added some bugfixes to get eg/myhttpd working again. 109 - added some bugfixes to get eg/myhttpd working again.
9 - added Coro::Storable for often-cede'ing freeze/thaw. 110 - added Coro::Storable for often-cede'ing freeze/thaw.
10 - try to do a clean exit when a coroutine calls exit 111 - try to do a clean exit when a coroutine calls exit
11 (EXPERIMENTAL). 112 (EXPERIMENTAL).
12 - got rid of indirect call through _coro_init. 113 - got rid of indirect call through _coro_init.
