7
8 - tune 01_unblock.t tests a bit.
9
104.801 Wed Oct 22 18:33:37 CEST 2008
11 - improve readline speed for very long "lines".
12 - backport to 5.8.8.
13
144.8 Thu Oct 2 13:34:40 CEST 2008
15 - new function Coro::AIO::aio_wait.
16 - Coro.:AIO and Coro::BDB now "use Coro::AnyEvent".
17 - greatly speed up and reduce memory usage of Coro::AIO requests.
18 - implement some other µ-optimisations.
19
204.749 Mon Sep 29 14:40:12 CEST 2008
21 - port to slow and broken pseudo-threaded perls. (courtesy pippijn).
22
234.748 Sat Sep 27 14:03:19 CEST 2008
24 - implement, but do not document, PerlIO::cede(granularity).
25 - Coro::Storable forgot to wrap Storable::pstore.
26 - work around the multitude of leaks and memory corruption
27 bugs in PerlIO::via by using our own C-level perliol. As a side
28 effect, Coro::Storable is now much, much, much faster.
29
304.747 Tue Sep 23 01:59:41 CEST 2008
31 - fix a per-cv memleak (one empty array was leaked per
32 code reference).
33 - avoid a crash in coro->call|rss when the coroutine was already
34 destroyed (most noticably when using Coro::Debug::ps :)
35 - also protect *Storable::FILE.
36 - push up default storable granularity to 20ms.
37
384.746 Sun Sep 21 03:22:20 CEST 2008
39 - be more insistent on locking Storable against reentrancy
40 in Coro::Storable.
41 - move swap_def?v and throw to Coro::State, as documented.
42
434.745 Thu Jul 24 00:14:38 CEST 2008
44 - remove debugging code related to MgPV_nolen_const, also try to
45 make it compile with perl 5.8.6 (yes, apple apparently loves
46 outdated software). Reported by John S.
47
484.744 Tue Jul 8 22:06:35 CEST 2008
49 - correctly provide default DIE/WARN handlers as documented.
50 - also overwrite PL_vtbl_sigelem.svt_clear, even though current
51 implementations inside perl work fine for us.
52
534.743 Mon Jun 16 00:21:57 CEST 2008
54 - when using Coro::EV without running EV::loop it could
55 result in busy-waiting for events, this has been fixed.
56 - reduce codesize and improve performance by using EV_DEFAULT_UC.
57
584.742 Sat May 31 14:10:21 CEST 2008
59 - implement a workaround for (some) perl <5.8.8 versions.
60 - require EV 3.3+.
61
624.741 Fri May 30 23:33:09 CEST 2008
63 - tell netbsd how utterly broken their imitation of an OS is
64 and refuse to build by default if pthreads are in use.
65 - switch to "s" method on all bsd's by default, as their ucontext
66 stuff seems just too broken.
67 - fix a bug in Coro::Select.
68
694.74 Thu May 29 20:05:31 CEST 2008
70 - do not test Coro::LWP for lack of dependencies.
71 - do not test Coro::Select for lack of working perls.
72
734.73 Thu May 29 2008
74 - fix a bug in Coro::EV which would cause it to block despite
75 there being runnable coroutines.
76 - sprinkle "no warnings" freely over everything, also suppress
77 warnings for some other modules.
78 - fix typo in WSAEWOULDBLOCK.
79
804.72 Sun May 25 05:14:36 CEST 2008
81 - tweak META.yaml a bit, unfortunately, there is no documented way
82 to have optional dependencies with CPAN. doh :(
83 - avoid running some tests on windows because they would fail due to
84 perl bug (broken fork, broken pipes...).
85 - work around perl on windows bugs where perl returns undocumented
86 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc. by taking advantage
87 of AnyEvent's workaround for that problem.
88 - use AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking in Coro::Handle to work around
89 a common perl implementation bug on windows.
90 - use unix domain sockets in testsuite to work around
91 common perl implementation bugs on widows (they are emulated by
92 tcp sockets on windows. ugh.)
93
944.71 Sat May 24 20:01:27 CEST 2008
95 - fix a bug in Coro::AnyEvent ("Usage: Coro::AnyEvent::_schedule()").
96 - take advantage of async name resolution of AnyEvent::Util.
97 - work around brutal inet_aton override in Coro::LWP.
98 - take advantage of the readyhook in Coro::EV, for smoother
99 scheduling.
100
1014.7 Sun May 11 00:32:19 CEST 2008
102 - completely reworked the Coro manpage.
103 - added Coro::AnyEvent, generic event loop integration.
104 - implement cancel, ready and kill commands in Coro::Debug.
105 - document find_coro in Coro::Debug.
106 - incompatible change: rename has_stack to has_cctx.
107 - Coro::AIO and Coro::BDB no longer force event model detection,
108 use AnyEvent::AIO and AnyEvent::BDB.
109
1104.6 Sat Apr 26 10:05:14 CEST 2008
111 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: sub/code attributes are no longer supported
112 by the Coro module. It was a mistake to have it in the first place.
113 - (experimental) support for activestate perl 5.10 (method "w").
114 - (experimental) support for strawberry perl (method "a").
115 - coro_sigelem_set did not return a value although it had to,
116 actual impact unknown.
117
1184.51 Mon Apr 14 13:28:27 CEST 2008
119 - make it compile again on 5.8.
120
1214.50 Thu Apr 10 09:43:17 CEST 2008
122 - I did it twice! (see 4.49).
123
1244.49 Sun Apr 6 21:23:31 CEST 2008
125 - grr, instead of compiling the recent changes on 5.10 only they
126 were compiled on 5.8 only.
127
1284.48 Sun Apr 6 20:36:46 CEST 2008
129 - allow coroutine switches during eval's under 5.10.x, as it seems
130 the parser is a per-interpreter option now, so this is safe
131 (this might fix the odd crashing bug).
132 - drop support for 5.9.x versions: they are dead, jim.
133
1344.47 Sun Apr 6 00:37:52 CEST 2008
135 - force cctx allocation on API calls: we know we need to force one
136 and gcc actually manages to confuse our heuristic nowadays,
137 leading to crashes and worse.
138 - document force_cctx.
139
1404.46 Fri Apr 4 22:05:43 CEST 2008
141 - upgrade libcoro, resulting in pthread-backend (which was only created
142 to fulfill the rules of the programming languages shootout).
143
1444.45 Thu Mar 13 11:55:36 CET 2008
145 - fix a file leaking bug in eg/mhyttpd that would allow
146 downloading of any file (reported by oesi).
147 - fix deadlock bug in Coro::Channel (reported by Richard Hundt)
148 (also add testcase).
149 - support Broadcast option in Coro::Socket (patch by Richard Hundt,
150 apparently having loads of fun with that).
151 - implement $state->swap_defsv, ->swap_defav and document ->throw.
152
1534.4 Wed Feb 13 16:44:29 CET 2008
154 - only assume .cfi pseudo isns exist on GNU/Linux.
155 - add get_timed method to Coro::Channels.
156 - fixed Coro::Debug manpage.
157 - perl 5.11 compatbility improvement based on patch by
158 Andreas König.
159
1604.37 Sun Jan 20 11:25:23 CET 2008
161 - soften the check for an active parser for perl 5.10 (avoiding
162 "Coro::State::transfer called while parsing" in many cases).
163
1644.36 Sun Jan 13 10:53:56 CET 2008
165 - reset diehook when terminating from an async_pool as to not
166 trigger any __DIE__ handlers.
167
1684.35 Sun Jan 13 04:14:13 CET 2008
169 - "bt" debug command now displays any exceptions
170 from longmess and also skips the innermost
171 stackframes, giving more useufl output.
172 - allow backtraces in coroutines blocked in Coro::EV,
173 at a <1% speed hit.
174 - handle localising of $SIG{__WARN__} and __DIE__
175 properly (with a proper amount of dirty hacking).
176
1774.34 Sat Dec 22 17:49:53 CET 2007
178 - upgrade to EV version 2.0 API.
179
1804.33 Mon Dec 17 08:36:12 CET 2007
181 - make Coro::AIO etc. loadable in the absence of EV.
182
1834.32 Mon Dec 17 07:46:02 CET 2007
184 - majorly improved Coro::Handle's performance with Coro::EV.
185 - implemented the until now mythical Coro::BDB module.
186 - specialcase EV in Coro::AIO and Coro::BDB for extra speed.
187
1884.31 Wed Dec 5 12:32:39 CET 2007
189 - remove warn statement form Coro::Util.
7 190
84.3 Tue Dec 4 20:33:14 CET 2007 1914.3 Tue Dec 4 20:33:14 CET 2007
9 - calls to the idle function could cause stack corruption 192 - calls to the idle function could cause stack corruption
10 when the stack changed. 193 when the stack changed.
11 - do no longer rely on the presence of EV::DNS if EV is used 194 - do no longer rely on the presence of EV::DNS if EV is used
