30.12 31.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
4 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
5 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
6 wrong package.
7 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
8 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
9 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
10 normally uses.
11 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
12
131.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
14 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
15
161.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
17 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
18 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
19 - strict'ify some modules.
20 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
21 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
22 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
23
241.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
25 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
26 when 'l'inux method was used.
27
281.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
29 - some portability fixes/workarounds.
30
311.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
32 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
33 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
34 Coro::State::flush method.
35 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
36
371.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
38 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
39 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
40 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
41 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
42 - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.
43
441.11 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
45 - change of contact address.
46
471.1 Tue Feb 22 20:51:16 CET 2005
48 - support [l]inux method on amd64.
49 - allow some context switches while compiling/eval'ing.
50
511.0 Tue Aug 10 03:47:27 CEST 2004
52 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
53 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
54 padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
55
560.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
57 - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
58
590.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
60 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
61 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
62 as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
63 Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
64 between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
65 fixable).
66 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
67
680.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
69 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
70 faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
71 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
72 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
73 observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
74 of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
75 pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
76 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
77 - fix for threaded perl.
78
790.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
80 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
81 memory leaks.
82 - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
83 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
84 hopefully ignoring it "just works".
85
860.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
87 - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
88 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
89
900.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
91 - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
92 of new features.
93 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
94 Highly correct stuff, that is...
95 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
96 the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.
97
980.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
99 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
100 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
101 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
102 so preselect it.
103
1040.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
105 - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost
106 on reading, reported by jason@nichego.net.
107
1080.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
109 - added a README.linux-glibc.
110 - new module Coro::Select.
111 - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
112 (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
113 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
114
1150.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
116 - made lazy context switching the default.
117 - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
118 was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
119 - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
120 - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
121
1220.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
123 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
124 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
125 - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
126 ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
127 - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
128 of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
129
1300.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
131 - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
132 - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
133 could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
134
1350.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
136 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
137 (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
138 without Event, which freezes).
139
1400.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
141 - Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.
142
1430.53 Tue Nov 27 21:11:13 CET 2001
144 - some tests for Event.
145 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
146 and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
147 new ones.
148 - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
149 - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.
150
1510.52 Tue Nov 6 21:36:18 CET 2001
152 - ported to cygwin (trivial).
153 patch by Gerrit P. Haase <gp@familiehaase.de>.
154 - small setjmp code fix by Sullivan.DanielJ@epamail.epa.gov.
155
1560.51 Thu Nov 1 20:39:01 CET 2001
157 - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
158 could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
159 error.
160 - added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
161 - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.
162 - implemented terminate with args + join.
163
1640.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001
165 - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.

167 in various modules.
168 - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
169 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.
170
1710.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
172 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
173 inside Coro::Handle.
174 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
175 speed reasons.
176 - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
177 sjlj and ucontext should now work.
178 - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
179 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
180 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.
181 - fixed a bug that caused segfault when returning to main task
182 under some circumstances.
183 - other bugfixes.
184
1850.45 Sun Sep 2 02:54:01 CEST 2001
186 - new method Coro::Handle::timeout.
187 - corrected speling of set...name to get...name in Coro::Socket.
188 - Coro::Socket::accept now returns a Coro::Socket, not a Coro::Handle.
189 - Coro::Handle now supports fileno and FILENO.
190 - added eg/myhttpd, a web server.
191 - Coro::Socket now accepts numeric ports as well as "port(number)"
192 syntax.
193 - moved some scheduling primitives into xs code. more to come.
194 - new simple priority system.
195 - implemented Coro::Event using XS, almost four times faster!
196 - small memory corruption problem fixed (boy that was difficult).
197
1980.13 Wed Aug 8 16:53:07 CEST 2001
199 - new method Coro::Handle::readline.
200 - added eg/lwp and Coro::Handle::autoflush, to make LWP work.
201 (see eg/lwp on how to make LWP non-blocking).
202 - renamed Coro::Socket::new_inet to new.
203 - added Coro::Util, some utility functions.
204 - die/eval now works better (still get annoying (but true ;)
205 "Callback called exit" messages).
206 - Coro::Handle now supports timeout, and Coro::Socket Timeout.
207 - much better Coro::Socket support.
208
2090.12 Fri Jul 27 04:19:01 CEST 2001
4 - do not use mmap if neither MAP_ANON nor MAP_ANONYMOUS is defined. 210 - do not use mmap if neither MAP_ANON nor MAP_ANONYMOUS is defined.
5 - very experimental stack sharing algorithm. not 100% safe ut 211 - very experimental stack sharing algorithm. not 100% safe but
6 should work well in practise ;) 212 should work well in practise ;)
7 - added Coro::RWLock. 213 - added Coro::RWLock.
214 - Coro::Specific now works.
8 215
