9 - use a global asm statement to become independent of gcc otpimisations
10 for CORO_ASM (thanks to pippijn for the idea).
11
124.802 Thu Oct 30 10:56:12 CET 2008
13 - support -fno-omit-frame-pointer on x86 with the assembly method.
14 - tune 01_unblock.t tests a bit.
15
164.801 Wed Oct 22 18:33:37 CEST 2008
17 - improve readline speed for very long "lines".
18 - backport to 5.8.8.
19
204.8 Thu Oct 2 13:34:40 CEST 2008
21 - new function Coro::AIO::aio_wait.
22 - Coro.:AIO and Coro::BDB now "use Coro::AnyEvent".
23 - greatly speed up and reduce memory usage of Coro::AIO requests.
24 - implement some other µ-optimisations.
25
264.749 Mon Sep 29 14:40:12 CEST 2008
27 - port to slow and broken pseudo-threaded perls. (courtesy pippijn).
28
294.748 Sat Sep 27 14:03:19 CEST 2008
30 - implement, but do not document, PerlIO::cede(granularity).
31 - Coro::Storable forgot to wrap Storable::pstore.
32 - work around the multitude of leaks and memory corruption
33 bugs in PerlIO::via by using our own C-level perliol. As a side
34 effect, Coro::Storable is now much, much, much faster.
35
364.747 Tue Sep 23 01:59:41 CEST 2008
37 - fix a per-cv memleak (one empty array was leaked per
38 code reference).
39 - avoid a crash in coro->call|rss when the coroutine was already
40 destroyed (most noticably when using Coro::Debug::ps :)
41 - also protect *Storable::FILE.
42 - push up default storable granularity to 20ms.
43
444.746 Sun Sep 21 03:22:20 CEST 2008
45 - be more insistent on locking Storable against reentrancy
46 in Coro::Storable.
47 - move swap_def?v and throw to Coro::State, as documented.
48
494.745 Thu Jul 24 00:14:38 CEST 2008
50 - remove debugging code related to MgPV_nolen_const, also try to
51 make it compile with perl 5.8.6 (yes, apple apparently loves
52 outdated software). Reported by John S.
53
544.744 Tue Jul 8 22:06:35 CEST 2008
55 - correctly provide default DIE/WARN handlers as documented.
56 - also overwrite PL_vtbl_sigelem.svt_clear, even though current
57 implementations inside perl work fine for us.
58
594.743 Mon Jun 16 00:21:57 CEST 2008
60 - when using Coro::EV without running EV::loop it could
61 result in busy-waiting for events, this has been fixed.
62 - reduce codesize and improve performance by using EV_DEFAULT_UC.
63
644.742 Sat May 31 14:10:21 CEST 2008
65 - implement a workaround for (some) perl <5.8.8 versions.
66 - require EV 3.3+.
67
684.741 Fri May 30 23:33:09 CEST 2008
69 - tell netbsd how utterly broken their imitation of an OS is
70 and refuse to build by default if pthreads are in use.
71 - switch to "s" method on all bsd's by default, as their ucontext
72 stuff seems just too broken.
73 - fix a bug in Coro::Select.
74
754.74 Thu May 29 20:05:31 CEST 2008
76 - do not test Coro::LWP for lack of dependencies.
77 - do not test Coro::Select for lack of working perls.
78
794.73 Thu May 29 2008
80 - fix a bug in Coro::EV which would cause it to block despite
81 there being runnable coroutines.
82 - sprinkle "no warnings" freely over everything, also suppress
83 warnings for some other modules.
84 - fix typo in WSAEWOULDBLOCK.
85
864.72 Sun May 25 05:14:36 CEST 2008
87 - tweak META.yaml a bit, unfortunately, there is no documented way
88 to have optional dependencies with CPAN. doh :(
89 - avoid running some tests on windows because they would fail due to
90 perl bug (broken fork, broken pipes...).
91 - work around perl on windows bugs where perl returns undocumented
92 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc. by taking advantage
93 of AnyEvent's workaround for that problem.
94 - use AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking in Coro::Handle to work around
95 a common perl implementation bug on windows.
96 - use unix domain sockets in testsuite to work around
97 common perl implementation bugs on widows (they are emulated by
98 tcp sockets on windows. ugh.)
99
1004.71 Sat May 24 20:01:27 CEST 2008
101 - fix a bug in Coro::AnyEvent ("Usage: Coro::AnyEvent::_schedule()").
102 - take advantage of async name resolution of AnyEvent::Util.
103 - work around brutal inet_aton override in Coro::LWP.
104 - take advantage of the readyhook in Coro::EV, for smoother
105 scheduling.
106
1074.7 Sun May 11 00:32:19 CEST 2008
108 - completely reworked the Coro manpage.
109 - added Coro::AnyEvent, generic event loop integration.
110 - implement cancel, ready and kill commands in Coro::Debug.
111 - document find_coro in Coro::Debug.
112 - incompatible change: rename has_stack to has_cctx.
113 - Coro::AIO and Coro::BDB no longer force event model detection,
114 use AnyEvent::AIO and AnyEvent::BDB.
115
1164.6 Sat Apr 26 10:05:14 CEST 2008
117 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: sub/code attributes are no longer supported
118 by the Coro module. It was a mistake to have it in the first place.
119 - (experimental) support for activestate perl 5.10 (method "w").
120 - (experimental) support for strawberry perl (method "a").
121 - coro_sigelem_set did not return a value although it had to,
122 actual impact unknown.
123
1244.51 Mon Apr 14 13:28:27 CEST 2008
125 - make it compile again on 5.8.
126
1274.50 Thu Apr 10 09:43:17 CEST 2008
128 - I did it twice! (see 4.49).
129
1304.49 Sun Apr 6 21:23:31 CEST 2008
131 - grr, instead of compiling the recent changes on 5.10 only they
132 were compiled on 5.8 only.
133
1344.48 Sun Apr 6 20:36:46 CEST 2008
135 - allow coroutine switches during eval's under 5.10.x, as it seems
136 the parser is a per-interpreter option now, so this is safe
137 (this might fix the odd crashing bug).
138 - drop support for 5.9.x versions: they are dead, jim.
139
1404.47 Sun Apr 6 00:37:52 CEST 2008
141 - force cctx allocation on API calls: we know we need to force one
142 and gcc actually manages to confuse our heuristic nowadays,
143 leading to crashes and worse.
144 - document force_cctx.
145
1464.46 Fri Apr 4 22:05:43 CEST 2008
147 - upgrade libcoro, resulting in pthread-backend (which was only created
148 to fulfill the rules of the programming languages shootout).
149
1504.45 Thu Mar 13 11:55:36 CET 2008
151 - fix a file leaking bug in eg/mhyttpd that would allow
152 downloading of any file (reported by oesi).
153 - fix deadlock bug in Coro::Channel (reported by Richard Hundt)
154 (also add testcase).
155 - support Broadcast option in Coro::Socket (patch by Richard Hundt,
156 apparently having loads of fun with that).
157 - implement $state->swap_defsv, ->swap_defav and document ->throw.
158
1594.4 Wed Feb 13 16:44:29 CET 2008
160 - only assume .cfi pseudo isns exist on GNU/Linux.
161 - add get_timed method to Coro::Channels.
162 - fixed Coro::Debug manpage.
163 - perl 5.11 compatbility improvement based on patch by
164 Andreas König.
165
1664.37 Sun Jan 20 11:25:23 CET 2008
167 - soften the check for an active parser for perl 5.10 (avoiding
168 "Coro::State::transfer called while parsing" in many cases).
169
1704.36 Sun Jan 13 10:53:56 CET 2008
171 - reset diehook when terminating from an async_pool as to not
172 trigger any __DIE__ handlers.
173
1744.35 Sun Jan 13 04:14:13 CET 2008
175 - "bt" debug command now displays any exceptions
176 from longmess and also skips the innermost
177 stackframes, giving more useufl output.
178 - allow backtraces in coroutines blocked in Coro::EV,
179 at a <1% speed hit.
180 - handle localising of $SIG{__WARN__} and __DIE__
181 properly (with a proper amount of dirty hacking).
182
1834.34 Sat Dec 22 17:49:53 CET 2007
184 - upgrade to EV version 2.0 API.
185
1864.33 Mon Dec 17 08:36:12 CET 2007
187 - make Coro::AIO etc. loadable in the absence of EV.
188
1894.32 Mon Dec 17 07:46:02 CET 2007
190 - majorly improved Coro::Handle's performance with Coro::EV.
191 - implemented the until now mythical Coro::BDB module.
192 - specialcase EV in Coro::AIO and Coro::BDB for extra speed.
193
1944.31 Wed Dec 5 12:32:39 CET 2007
195 - remove warn statement form Coro::Util.
196
1974.3 Tue Dec 4 20:33:14 CET 2007
198 - calls to the idle function could cause stack corruption
199 when the stack changed.
200 - do no longer rely on the presence of EV::DNS if EV is used
201 (because it is gone), but instead take avdantage of EV::ADNS
202 if available.
203 - add ($) prototypes to all functions in Coro::Storable.
204 - use a conventional (safer) idle callback in Coro::EV.
205 - do accept quickly in Coro::Debug to avoid endless loops.
206
2074.22 Fri Nov 30 16:04:04 CET 2007
208 - really use optimised versions for Event and EV in Coro::Util
209 and Coro::Handle.
7 210
84.21 Sun Nov 25 10:48:59 CET 2007 2114.21 Sun Nov 25 10:48:59 CET 2007
9 - fix a spurious memory read. 212 - fix a spurious memory read.
10 - Coro::EV no longer keeps the eventloop "alive". 213 - Coro::EV no longer keeps the eventloop "alive".
