3TODO: should explore PerlIO::via::CoroCede and PerlIO::via::CoroAIO. 3TODO: should explore PerlIO::coroaio (perl leaks like hell).

9 - Coro::Debug::new_unix_server would not create a non-blocking listening
10 socket, sometimes causign freezes.
11 - fix misaligned stack points for setjmp and assembly methods, which
12 can cause crashes on x86_64 with a sufficiently aggressive compiler.
13 - new function: Coro::Debug::new_tcp_server.
14 - move ->throw into the Coro class because it only works on coro objects.
15
164.803 Mon Nov 3 17:16:12 CET 2008
17 - use a global asm statement to become independent of gcc otpimisations
18 for CORO_ASM (thanks to pippijn for the idea).
19 - try to workaround yet another broken bsd, this time dragonfly.
20
214.802 Thu Oct 30 10:56:12 CET 2008
22 - support -fno-omit-frame-pointer on x86 with the assembly method.
23 - tune 01_unblock.t tests a bit.
24
254.801 Wed Oct 22 18:33:37 CEST 2008
26 - improve readline speed for very long "lines".
27 - backport to 5.8.8.
28
294.8 Thu Oct 2 13:34:40 CEST 2008
30 - new function Coro::AIO::aio_wait.
31 - Coro.:AIO and Coro::BDB now "use Coro::AnyEvent".
32 - greatly speed up and reduce memory usage of Coro::AIO requests.
33 - implement some other µ-optimisations.
34
354.749 Mon Sep 29 14:40:12 CEST 2008
36 - port to slow and broken pseudo-threaded perls. (courtesy pippijn).
37
384.748 Sat Sep 27 14:03:19 CEST 2008
39 - implement, but do not document, PerlIO::cede(granularity).
40 - Coro::Storable forgot to wrap Storable::pstore.
41 - work around the multitude of leaks and memory corruption
42 bugs in PerlIO::via by using our own C-level perliol. As a side
43 effect, Coro::Storable is now much, much, much faster.
44
454.747 Tue Sep 23 01:59:41 CEST 2008
46 - fix a per-cv memleak (one empty array was leaked per
47 code reference).
48 - avoid a crash in coro->call|rss when the coroutine was already
49 destroyed (most noticably when using Coro::Debug::ps :)
50 - also protect *Storable::FILE.
51 - push up default storable granularity to 20ms.
52
534.746 Sun Sep 21 03:22:20 CEST 2008
54 - be more insistent on locking Storable against reentrancy
55 in Coro::Storable.
56 - move swap_def?v and throw to Coro::State, as documented.
57
584.745 Thu Jul 24 00:14:38 CEST 2008
59 - remove debugging code related to MgPV_nolen_const, also try to
60 make it compile with perl 5.8.6 (yes, apple apparently loves
61 outdated software). Reported by John S.
62
634.744 Tue Jul 8 22:06:35 CEST 2008
64 - correctly provide default DIE/WARN handlers as documented.
65 - also overwrite PL_vtbl_sigelem.svt_clear, even though current
66 implementations inside perl work fine for us.
67
684.743 Mon Jun 16 00:21:57 CEST 2008
69 - when using Coro::EV without running EV::loop it could
70 result in busy-waiting for events, this has been fixed.
71 - reduce codesize and improve performance by using EV_DEFAULT_UC.
72
734.742 Sat May 31 14:10:21 CEST 2008
74 - implement a workaround for (some) perl <5.8.8 versions.
75 - require EV 3.3+.
76
774.741 Fri May 30 23:33:09 CEST 2008
78 - tell netbsd how utterly broken their imitation of an OS is
79 and refuse to build by default if pthreads are in use.
80 - switch to "s" method on all bsd's by default, as their ucontext
81 stuff seems just too broken.
82 - fix a bug in Coro::Select.
83
844.74 Thu May 29 20:05:31 CEST 2008
85 - do not test Coro::LWP for lack of dependencies.
86 - do not test Coro::Select for lack of working perls.
87
884.73 Thu May 29 2008
89 - fix a bug in Coro::EV which would cause it to block despite
90 there being runnable coroutines.
91 - sprinkle "no warnings" freely over everything, also suppress
92 warnings for some other modules.
93 - fix typo in WSAEWOULDBLOCK.
94
954.72 Sun May 25 05:14:36 CEST 2008
96 - tweak META.yaml a bit, unfortunately, there is no documented way
97 to have optional dependencies with CPAN. doh :(
98 - avoid running some tests on windows because they would fail due to
99 perl bug (broken fork, broken pipes...).
100 - work around perl on windows bugs where perl returns undocumented
101 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc. by taking advantage
102 of AnyEvent's workaround for that problem.
103 - use AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking in Coro::Handle to work around
104 a common perl implementation bug on windows.
105 - use unix domain sockets in testsuite to work around
106 common perl implementation bugs on widows (they are emulated by
107 tcp sockets on windows. ugh.)
108
1094.71 Sat May 24 20:01:27 CEST 2008
110 - fix a bug in Coro::AnyEvent ("Usage: Coro::AnyEvent::_schedule()").
111 - take advantage of async name resolution of AnyEvent::Util.
112 - work around brutal inet_aton override in Coro::LWP.
113 - take advantage of the readyhook in Coro::EV, for smoother
114 scheduling.
115
1164.7 Sun May 11 00:32:19 CEST 2008
117 - completely reworked the Coro manpage.
118 - added Coro::AnyEvent, generic event loop integration.
119 - implement cancel, ready and kill commands in Coro::Debug.
120 - document find_coro in Coro::Debug.
121 - incompatible change: rename has_stack to has_cctx.
122 - Coro::AIO and Coro::BDB no longer force event model detection,
123 use AnyEvent::AIO and AnyEvent::BDB.
124
1254.6 Sat Apr 26 10:05:14 CEST 2008
126 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: sub/code attributes are no longer supported
127 by the Coro module. It was a mistake to have it in the first place.
128 - (experimental) support for activestate perl 5.10 (method "w").
129 - (experimental) support for strawberry perl (method "a").
130 - coro_sigelem_set did not return a value although it had to,
131 actual impact unknown.
132
1334.51 Mon Apr 14 13:28:27 CEST 2008
134 - make it compile again on 5.8.
135
1364.50 Thu Apr 10 09:43:17 CEST 2008
137 - I did it twice! (see 4.49).
138
1394.49 Sun Apr 6 21:23:31 CEST 2008
140 - grr, instead of compiling the recent changes on 5.10 only they
141 were compiled on 5.8 only.
142
1434.48 Sun Apr 6 20:36:46 CEST 2008
144 - allow coroutine switches during eval's under 5.10.x, as it seems
145 the parser is a per-interpreter option now, so this is safe
146 (this might fix the odd crashing bug).
147 - drop support for 5.9.x versions: they are dead, jim.
148
1494.47 Sun Apr 6 00:37:52 CEST 2008
150 - force cctx allocation on API calls: we know we need to force one
151 and gcc actually manages to confuse our heuristic nowadays,
152 leading to crashes and worse.
153 - document force_cctx.
154
1554.46 Fri Apr 4 22:05:43 CEST 2008
156 - upgrade libcoro, resulting in pthread-backend (which was only created
157 to fulfill the rules of the programming languages shootout).
158
1594.45 Thu Mar 13 11:55:36 CET 2008
160 - fix a file leaking bug in eg/mhyttpd that would allow
161 downloading of any file (reported by oesi).
162 - fix deadlock bug in Coro::Channel (reported by Richard Hundt)
163 (also add testcase).
164 - support Broadcast option in Coro::Socket (patch by Richard Hundt,
165 apparently having loads of fun with that).
166 - implement $state->swap_defsv, ->swap_defav and document ->throw.
167
1684.4 Wed Feb 13 16:44:29 CET 2008
169 - only assume .cfi pseudo isns exist on GNU/Linux.
170 - add get_timed method to Coro::Channels.
171 - fixed Coro::Debug manpage.
172 - perl 5.11 compatbility improvement based on patch by
173 Andreas König.
174
1754.37 Sun Jan 20 11:25:23 CET 2008
176 - soften the check for an active parser for perl 5.10 (avoiding
177 "Coro::State::transfer called while parsing" in many cases).
178
1794.36 Sun Jan 13 10:53:56 CET 2008
180 - reset diehook when terminating from an async_pool as to not
181 trigger any __DIE__ handlers.
182
1834.35 Sun Jan 13 04:14:13 CET 2008
184 - "bt" debug command now displays any exceptions
185 from longmess and also skips the innermost
186 stackframes, giving more useufl output.
187 - allow backtraces in coroutines blocked in Coro::EV,
188 at a <1% speed hit.
189 - handle localising of $SIG{__WARN__} and __DIE__
190 properly (with a proper amount of dirty hacking).
191
1924.34 Sat Dec 22 17:49:53 CET 2007
193 - upgrade to EV version 2.0 API.
194
1954.33 Mon Dec 17 08:36:12 CET 2007
196 - make Coro::AIO etc. loadable in the absence of EV.
197
1984.32 Mon Dec 17 07:46:02 CET 2007
199 - majorly improved Coro::Handle's performance with Coro::EV.
200 - implemented the until now mythical Coro::BDB module.
201 - specialcase EV in Coro::AIO and Coro::BDB for extra speed.
202
2034.31 Wed Dec 5 12:32:39 CET 2007
204 - remove warn statement form Coro::Util.
7 205
84.3 Tue Dec 4 20:33:14 CET 2007 2064.3 Tue Dec 4 20:33:14 CET 2007
9 - calls to the idle function could cause stack corruption 207 - calls to the idle function could cause stack corruption
10 when the stack changed. 208 when the stack changed.
11 - do no longer rely on the presence of EV::DNS if EV is used 209 - do no longer rely on the presence of EV::DNS if EV is used
