1Revision history for Perl extension Coro. 1Revision history for Perl extension Coro.
2 2
3TODO: better (earlier) error messages on broken transfer's 3TODO: should explore PerlIO::via::CoroCede and PerlIO::via::CoroAIO.
4TODO: destroy gets only called on cancel: fix(?) 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)).

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 - 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 - initial support for EV (libevent interface).
17
184.13 Wed Oct 24 07:26:45 CEST 2007
19 - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw.
20 - use a vastly more complicated technique to localise
21 $SIG{__WARN/DIE__} that also works on perls <= 5.8.8.
22 - use a coroutine for the idle callback Coro::Event,
23 instead of running Event in the current coroutine context.
24 This also catches recursive invocations.
25 - actually report fork errors in gethostbyname and inet_aton.
26
274.11 Thu Oct 11 02:40:24 CEST 2007
28 - port to threaded perls.
29
304.1 Thu Oct 11 02:38:16 CEST 2007
31 - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now
32 be local to each coro (see Coro::State).
33 - incompatible change: for very deep reasons, cede and cede_notself
34 cannot return anything, so nothing will be returned.
35 - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested).
36 - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(.
37 - overlay the saved state over the context stack. This saves
38 a few hundred bytes per coroutine on average and also
39 speeds up context switching a bit.
40 - further tune default stack sizes.
41 - (more) correctly calculate stack usage in coro_rss.
42 - Coro::Storable::blocking_* did not properly lock
43 resulting in races between coroutines.
44 - added Coro::Storable::guard.
45 - stopping to trace a coroutine could destroy the cctx of
46 an unrelated coroutine.
47 - explain the relationship between Perl and C coroutines in
48 more detail in Coro::State.
49 - Coro::Util::inet_aton did not short-circuit dotted quad forms,
50 causing a fork per resolve. This also affected Coro::Socket.
51 - switch to a separate stack in $coro->call/eval to avoid
52 invalidating pointers.
53
544.03 Sat Oct 6 21:24:00 CEST 2007
55 - added Coro::throw method.
56 - minor code cleanups.
57
584.02 Sat Oct 6 02:36:47 CEST 2007
59 - fix a very minor per-coroutine memleak (a single codereference).
60 - fixed a bug where the currently in-use c context would be freed
61 prematurely (can happen only when programs change the stacksize
62 or use tracing).
63 - tracing can no longer keep a coro alive after it terminated.
64 - do static branch prediction in the common path for gcc. gives
65 about 2-5% speed improvement here.
66
674.01 Fri Oct 5 22:10:49 CEST 2007
68 - instead of recreating *a* standard output handle we simply
69 use STDOUT, which is faster and hopefully more robust.
70
714.0 Fri Oct 5 12:56:00 CEST 2007
72 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze.
73 - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine
74 debugging, tracing and much more.
75 - major bug fix: unbelievable, but true: $_, $/ and many other
76 "saved" variables actually weren't being saved. This has been fixed,
77 of course, while increasing performance while losing all the save
78 flags.
79 - save flags are gone, and all the api functions dealing with them.
80 - added Coro::Semaphore::adjust.
81 - added Coro::Util::fork_eval.
82 - added Coro::Storable::{nfreeze,blocking_{freeze,nfreeze}}.
83 - added Coro::killall.
84 - reduce initial stack sizes to allow for "micro-coroutines".
85 - better async_pool resource management, moved parts of async_pool
86 handling to XS (major speed improvement).
87 - actually croak before modifying important data structures.
88 - refuse to transfer while compiling.
89 - possibly support eval EXPR better now.
90 - enable assembly per default on linux+bsd x86+amd64.
91 - all internal members were renamed _something for easier subclassing.
92 - many minor tweaks.
93
943.63 Wed May 16 14:10:06 CEST 2007
95 - implement handcoded assembly for x86/amd64 SVR ABI.
96
973.62 Fri Apr 27 21:36:06 CEST 2007
98 - upgrade libcoro (which might set unwind info correctly).
99 - change default on linux to setjmp/longjmp.
100
1013.61 Thu Apr 19 12:36:18 CEST 2007
102 - Coro::Storable caused an endless loop when thawing invalid
103 pst's sometimes.
104 - use a Semaphore in Coro::Storable, as Storable doesn't
105 seem to be reentrant (although it is documented to
106 be threadsafe...).
107 - fix Coro::Signal to bring back the original unreliable
108 but stateful semantics.
109 - fixed a lot of typos in Coro.pm (patch submitted by David
110 Steinbrunner, which applied flawlessly).
111
1123.6 Sat Apr 14 17:13:31 CEST 2007
113 - added some bugfixes to get eg/myhttpd working again.
114 - added Coro::Storable for often-cede'ing freeze/thaw.
115 - try to do a clean exit when a coroutine calls exit
116 (EXPERIMENTAL).
117 - got rid of indirect call through _coro_init.
118 - updated the partly antique examples in eg/ to
119 work again and be a bit less magic, too.
120 - fixed Coro::Signal semantics to work as documented again.

7 - add SAVE_DEFFH to save the default filehandle and enable 123 - add SAVE_DEFFH to save the default filehandle and enable
8 it by default. 124 it by default.
9 - finally move socket-operations from Coro::Socket to Coro::Handle 125 - finally move socket-operations from Coro::Socket to Coro::Handle
