8 TODO: AnyEvent provide detetc hook
9 TODO: Coro::AnyEvent
10 - completely reworked the Coro manpage.
11 - added Coro::AnyEvent, generic event loop integration.
12 - implement cancel, ready and kill commands in Coro::Debug.
13 - document find_coro in Coro::Debug.
14 - incompatible change: rename has_stack to has_cctx.

164.6 Sat Apr 26 10:05:14 CEST 2008
17 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: sub/code attributes are no longer supported
18 by the Coro module. It was a mistake to have it in the first place.
19 - (experimental) support for activestate perl 5.10 (method "w").
20 - (experimental) support for strawberry perl (method "a").
21 - coro_sigelem_set did not return a value although it had to,
22 actual impact unknown.
23
244.51 Mon Apr 14 13:28:27 CEST 2008
25 - make it compile again on 5.8.
26
274.50 Thu Apr 10 09:43:17 CEST 2008
28 - I did it twice! (see 4.49).
29
304.49 Sun Apr 6 21:23:31 CEST 2008
31 - grr, instead of compiling the recent changes on 5.10 only they
32 were compiled on 5.8 only.
33
344.48 Sun Apr 6 20:36:46 CEST 2008
35 - allow coroutine switches during eval's under 5.10.x, as it seems
36 the parser is a per-interpreter option now, so this is safe
37 (this might fix the odd crashing bug).
38 - drop support for 5.9.x versions: they are dead, jim.
39
404.47 Sun Apr 6 00:37:52 CEST 2008
41 - force cctx allocation on API calls: we know we need to force one
42 and gcc actually manages to confuse our heuristic nowadays,
43 leading to crashes and worse.
44 - document force_cctx.
45
464.46 Fri Apr 4 22:05:43 CEST 2008
47 - upgrade libcoro, resulting in pthread-backend (which was only created
48 to fulfill the rules of the programming languages shootout).
49
504.45 Thu Mar 13 11:55:36 CET 2008
51 - fix a file leaking bug in eg/mhyttpd that would allow
52 downloading of any file (reported by oesi).
53 - fix deadlock bug in Coro::Channel (reported by Richard Hundt)
54 (also add testcase).
55 - support Broadcast option in Coro::Socket (patch by Richard Hundt,
56 apparently having loads of fun with that).
57 - implement $state->swap_defsv, ->swap_defav and document ->throw.
58
594.4 Wed Feb 13 16:44:29 CET 2008
60 - only assume .cfi pseudo isns exist on GNU/Linux.
61 - add get_timed method to Coro::Channels.
62 - fixed Coro::Debug manpage.
63 - perl 5.11 compatbility improvement based on patch by
64 Andreas König.
65
664.37 Sun Jan 20 11:25:23 CET 2008
67 - soften the check for an active parser for perl 5.10 (avoiding
68 "Coro::State::transfer called while parsing" in many cases).
69
704.36 Sun Jan 13 10:53:56 CET 2008
71 - reset diehook when terminating from an async_pool as to not
72 trigger any __DIE__ handlers.
73
744.35 Sun Jan 13 04:14:13 CET 2008
75 - "bt" debug command now displays any exceptions
76 from longmess and also skips the innermost
77 stackframes, giving more useufl output.
78 - allow backtraces in coroutines blocked in Coro::EV,
79 at a <1% speed hit.
80 - handle localising of $SIG{__WARN__} and __DIE__
81 properly (with a proper amount of dirty hacking).
82
834.34 Sat Dec 22 17:49:53 CET 2007
84 - upgrade to EV version 2.0 API.
85
864.33 Mon Dec 17 08:36:12 CET 2007
87 - make Coro::AIO etc. loadable in the absence of EV.
88
894.32 Mon Dec 17 07:46:02 CET 2007
90 - majorly improved Coro::Handle's performance with Coro::EV.
91 - implemented the until now mythical Coro::BDB module.
92 - specialcase EV in Coro::AIO and Coro::BDB for extra speed.
93
944.31 Wed Dec 5 12:32:39 CET 2007
95 - remove warn statement form Coro::Util.
96
974.3 Tue Dec 4 20:33:14 CET 2007
98 - calls to the idle function could cause stack corruption
99 when the stack changed.
100 - do no longer rely on the presence of EV::DNS if EV is used
101 (because it is gone), but instead take avdantage of EV::ADNS
102 if available.
103 - add ($) prototypes to all functions in Coro::Storable.
104 - use a conventional (safer) idle callback in Coro::EV.
105 - do accept quickly in Coro::Debug to avoid endless loops.
106
1074.22 Fri Nov 30 16:04:04 CET 2007
108 - really use optimised versions for Event and EV in Coro::Util
109 and Coro::Handle.
110
1114.21 Sun Nov 25 10:48:59 CET 2007
112 - fix a spurious memory read.
113 - Coro::EV no longer keeps the eventloop "alive".
114
1154.2 Fri Nov 9 20:47:05 CET 2007
8 - enable/disable tracing from a new coroutine, not a pooled one. 116 - enable/disable tracing from a new coroutine, not a pooled one.
9 - fix a memleak in Coro::Event. 117 - fix a memleak in Coro::Event.
10 - removed killall call from fork_eval. 118 - removed killall call from fork_eval.
11 - made sure store_fd is already loaded so that fork_eval 119 - made sure store_fd is already loaded so that fork_eval
12 does not have to parse autoload in each subprocess. 120 does not have to parse autoload in each subprocess.
121 - only use assembly method if -O switch is in $Config{optimize}.
122 - add (optional) Coro::EV module, so far the best event loop module
123 directly supported by Coro.
13 - if the event model is EV, use EV::DNS to resolve 124 - if the event model is EV, use EV::DNS to resolve
14 stuff in Coro::Util. 125 stuff in Coro::Util.
126 - don't get confused by multiple event notifications in Coro::Handle.
127 - initial support for EV (libevent interface).
128 - require Event and EV using configure_requires, to force their existance.

164.13 Wed Oct 24 07:26:45 CEST 2007 1304.13 Wed Oct 24 07:26:45 CEST 2007
17 - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw. 131 - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw.
18 - use a vastly more complicated technique to localise 132 - use a vastly more complicated technique to localise
19 $SIG{__WARN/DIE__} that also works on perls <= 5.8.8. 133 $SIG{__WARN/DIE__} that also works on perls <= 5.8.8.
