9 7
103.7 8 - enable/disable tracing from a new coroutine, not a pooled one.
11 - added Coro::Debug, interactive coroutine debugging. 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 - if the event model is EV, use EV::DNS to resolve
14 stuff in Coro::Util.
15 - don't get confused by multiple event notifications in Coro::Handle.
16
174.13 Wed Oct 24 07:26:45 CEST 2007
18 - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw.
19 - use a vastly more complicated technique to localise
20 $SIG{__WARN/DIE__} that also works on perls <= 5.8.8.
21 - use a coroutine for the idle callback Coro::Event,
22 instead of running Event in the current coroutine context.
23 This also catches recursive invocations.
24 - actually report fork errors in gethostbyname and inet_aton.
25
264.11 Thu Oct 11 02:40:24 CEST 2007
27 - port to threaded perls.
28
294.1 Thu Oct 11 02:38:16 CEST 2007
30 - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now
31 be local to each coro (see Coro::State).
32 - incompatible change: for very deep reasons, cede and cede_notself
33 cannot return anything, so nothing will be returned.
34 - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested).
35 - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(.
36 - overlay the saved state over the context stack. This saves
37 a few hundred bytes per coroutine on average and also
38 speeds up context switching a bit.
39 - further tune default stack sizes.
40 - (more) correctly calculate stack usage in coro_rss.
41 - Coro::Storable::blocking_* did not properly lock
42 resulting in races between coroutines.
43 - added Coro::Storable::guard.
44 - stopping to trace a coroutine could destroy the cctx of
45 an unrelated coroutine.
46 - explain the relationship between Perl and C coroutines in
47 more detail in Coro::State.
48 - Coro::Util::inet_aton did not short-circuit dotted quad forms,
49 causing a fork per resolve. This also affected Coro::Socket.
50 - switch to a separate stack in $coro->call/eval to avoid
51 invalidating pointers.
52
534.03 Sat Oct 6 21:24:00 CEST 2007
54 - added Coro::throw method.
55 - minor code cleanups.
56
574.02 Sat Oct 6 02:36:47 CEST 2007
58 - fix a very minor per-coroutine memleak (a single codereference).
59 - fixed a bug where the currently in-use c context would be freed
60 prematurely (can happen only when programs change the stacksize
61 or use tracing).
62 - tracing can no longer keep a coro alive after it terminated.
63 - do static branch prediction in the common path for gcc. gives
64 about 2-5% speed improvement here.
65
664.01 Fri Oct 5 22:10:49 CEST 2007
67 - instead of recreating *a* standard output handle we simply
68 use STDOUT, which is faster and hopefully more robust.
69
704.0 Fri Oct 5 12:56:00 CEST 2007
71 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze.
72 - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine
73 debugging, tracing and much more.
74 - major bug fix: unbelievable, but true: $_, $/ and many other
75 "saved" variables actually weren't being saved. This has been fixed,
76 of course, while increasing performance while losing all the save
77 flags.
78 - save flags are gone, and all the api functions dealing with them.
12 - added Coro::Semaphore::adjust. 79 - added Coro::Semaphore::adjust.
13 - added Coro::Util::fork_eval. 80 - added Coro::Util::fork_eval.
14 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze.
15 - added Coro::Storable::{nfreeze,blocking_{freeze,nfreeze}}. 81 - added Coro::Storable::{nfreeze,blocking_{freeze,nfreeze}}.
82 - added Coro::killall.
83 - reduce initial stack sizes to allow for "micro-coroutines".
84 - better async_pool resource management, moved parts of async_pool
85 handling to XS (major speed improvement).
86 - actually croak before modifying important data structures.
87 - refuse to transfer while compiling.
88 - possibly support eval EXPR better now.
89 - enable assembly per default on linux+bsd x86+amd64.
90 - all internal members were renamed _something for easier subclassing.
91 - many minor tweaks.

173.63 Wed May 16 14:10:06 CEST 2007 933.63 Wed May 16 14:10:06 CEST 2007
18 - implement handcoded assembly for x86/amd64 SVR ABI. 94 - implement handcoded assembly for x86/amd64 SVR ABI.
