8 - do no longer rely on the presence of EV::DNS if EV is used
9 (because it is gone), but instead take avdantage of EV::ADNS
10 if available.
11 - add ($) prototypes to all functions in Coro::Storable.
12 - use a conventional (safer) idle callback in Coro::EV.
13
144.22 Fri Nov 30 16:04:04 CET 2007
15 - really use optimised versions for Event and EV in Coro::Util
16 and Coro::Handle.
17
184.21 Sun Nov 25 10:48:59 CET 2007
19 - fix a spurious memory read.
20 - Coro::EV no longer keeps the eventloop "alive".
21
224.2 Fri Nov 9 20:47:05 CET 2007
23 - enable/disable tracing from a new coroutine, not a pooled one.
24 - fix a memleak in Coro::Event.
25 - removed killall call from fork_eval.
26 - made sure store_fd is already loaded so that fork_eval
27 does not have to parse autoload in each subprocess.
28 - only use assembly method if -O switch is in $Config{optimize}.
29 - add (optional) Coro::EV module, so far the best event loop module
30 directly supported by Coro.
31 - if the event model is EV, use EV::DNS to resolve
32 stuff in Coro::Util.
33 - don't get confused by multiple event notifications in Coro::Handle.
34 - initial support for EV (libevent interface).
35 - require Event and EV using configure_requires, to force their existance.
36
374.13 Wed Oct 24 07:26:45 CEST 2007
38 - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw.
39 - use a vastly more complicated technique to localise
40 $SIG{__WARN/DIE__} that also works on perls <= 5.8.8.
41 - use a coroutine for the idle callback Coro::Event,
42 instead of running Event in the current coroutine context.
43 This also catches recursive invocations.
44 - actually report fork errors in gethostbyname and inet_aton.
45
464.11 Thu Oct 11 02:40:24 CEST 2007
47 - port to threaded perls.
48
494.1 Thu Oct 11 02:38:16 CEST 2007
50 - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now
51 be local to each coro (see Coro::State).
52 - incompatible change: for very deep reasons, cede and cede_notself
53 cannot return anything, so nothing will be returned.
54 - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested).
55 - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(.
56 - overlay the saved state over the context stack. This saves
57 a few hundred bytes per coroutine on average and also
58 speeds up context switching a bit.
59 - further tune default stack sizes.
60 - (more) correctly calculate stack usage in coro_rss.
61 - Coro::Storable::blocking_* did not properly lock
62 resulting in races between coroutines.
63 - added Coro::Storable::guard.
64 - stopping to trace a coroutine could destroy the cctx of
65 an unrelated coroutine.
66 - explain the relationship between Perl and C coroutines in
67 more detail in Coro::State.
68 - Coro::Util::inet_aton did not short-circuit dotted quad forms,
69 causing a fork per resolve. This also affected Coro::Socket.
70 - switch to a separate stack in $coro->call/eval to avoid
71 invalidating pointers.
72
734.03 Sat Oct 6 21:24:00 CEST 2007
74 - added Coro::throw method.
75 - minor code cleanups.
76
774.02 Sat Oct 6 02:36:47 CEST 2007
78 - fix a very minor per-coroutine memleak (a single codereference).
79 - fixed a bug where the currently in-use c context would be freed
80 prematurely (can happen only when programs change the stacksize
81 or use tracing).
82 - tracing can no longer keep a coro alive after it terminated.
83 - do static branch prediction in the common path for gcc. gives
84 about 2-5% speed improvement here.

10 use STDOUT, which is faster and hopefully more robust. 88 use STDOUT, which is faster and hopefully more robust.
