84.01 8 - do no longer rely on the presence of EV::DNS if EV is used
9 - use a different, less descriptive but hopefully more robust way 9 (because it is gone), but instead take avdantage of EV::ADNS
10 to create the stdout glob for a newly created coroutine. 10 if available.
11 - add ($) prototypes to all functions in Coro::Storable.
12
134.22 Fri Nov 30 16:04:04 CET 2007
14 - really use optimised versions for Event and EV in Coro::Util
15 and Coro::Handle.
16
174.21 Sun Nov 25 10:48:59 CET 2007
18 - fix a spurious memory read.
19 - Coro::EV no longer keeps the eventloop "alive".
20
214.2 Fri Nov 9 20:47:05 CET 2007
22 - enable/disable tracing from a new coroutine, not a pooled one.
23 - fix a memleak in Coro::Event.
24 - removed killall call from fork_eval.
25 - made sure store_fd is already loaded so that fork_eval
26 does not have to parse autoload in each subprocess.
27 - only use assembly method if -O switch is in $Config{optimize}.
28 - add (optional) Coro::EV module, so far the best event loop module
29 directly supported by Coro.
30 - if the event model is EV, use EV::DNS to resolve
31 stuff in Coro::Util.
32 - don't get confused by multiple event notifications in Coro::Handle.
33 - initial support for EV (libevent interface).
34 - require Event and EV using configure_requires, to force their existance.
35
364.13 Wed Oct 24 07:26:45 CEST 2007
37 - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw.
38 - use a vastly more complicated technique to localise
39 $SIG{__WARN/DIE__} that also works on perls <= 5.8.8.
40 - use a coroutine for the idle callback Coro::Event,
41 instead of running Event in the current coroutine context.
42 This also catches recursive invocations.
43 - actually report fork errors in gethostbyname and inet_aton.
44
454.11 Thu Oct 11 02:40:24 CEST 2007
46 - port to threaded perls.
47
484.1 Thu Oct 11 02:38:16 CEST 2007
49 - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now
50 be local to each coro (see Coro::State).
51 - incompatible change: for very deep reasons, cede and cede_notself
52 cannot return anything, so nothing will be returned.
53 - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested).
54 - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(.
55 - overlay the saved state over the context stack. This saves
56 a few hundred bytes per coroutine on average and also
57 speeds up context switching a bit.
58 - further tune default stack sizes.
59 - (more) correctly calculate stack usage in coro_rss.
60 - Coro::Storable::blocking_* did not properly lock
61 resulting in races between coroutines.
62 - added Coro::Storable::guard.
63 - stopping to trace a coroutine could destroy the cctx of
64 an unrelated coroutine.
65 - explain the relationship between Perl and C coroutines in
66 more detail in Coro::State.
67 - Coro::Util::inet_aton did not short-circuit dotted quad forms,
68 causing a fork per resolve. This also affected Coro::Socket.
69 - switch to a separate stack in $coro->call/eval to avoid
70 invalidating pointers.
71
724.03 Sat Oct 6 21:24:00 CEST 2007
73 - added Coro::throw method.
74 - minor code cleanups.
75
764.02 Sat Oct 6 02:36:47 CEST 2007
77 - fix a very minor per-coroutine memleak (a single codereference).
78 - fixed a bug where the currently in-use c context would be freed
79 prematurely (can happen only when programs change the stacksize
80 or use tracing).
81 - tracing can no longer keep a coro alive after it terminated.
82 - do static branch prediction in the common path for gcc. gives
83 about 2-5% speed improvement here.
84
854.01 Fri Oct 5 22:10:49 CEST 2007
86 - instead of recreating *a* standard output handle we simply
87 use STDOUT, which is faster and hopefully more robust.
11 88
124.0 Fri Oct 5 12:56:00 CEST 2007 894.0 Fri Oct 5 12:56:00 CEST 2007
13 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze. 90 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze.
14 - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine 91 - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine
15 debugging, tracing and much more. 92 debugging, tracing and much more.
