8 - majorly improved Coro::Handle's performance with Coro::EV.
9
104.31 Wed Dec 5 12:32:39 CET 2007
11 - remove warn statement form Coro::Util.
12
134.3 Tue Dec 4 20:33:14 CET 2007
14 - calls to the idle function could cause stack corruption
15 when the stack changed.
16 - do no longer rely on the presence of EV::DNS if EV is used
17 (because it is gone), but instead take avdantage of EV::ADNS
18 if available.
19 - add ($) prototypes to all functions in Coro::Storable.
20 - use a conventional (safer) idle callback in Coro::EV.
21 - do accept quickly in Coro::Debug to avoid endless loops.
22
234.22 Fri Nov 30 16:04:04 CET 2007
24 - really use optimised versions for Event and EV in Coro::Util
25 and Coro::Handle.
26
274.21 Sun Nov 25 10:48:59 CET 2007
28 - fix a spurious memory read.
29 - Coro::EV no longer keeps the eventloop "alive".
30
314.2 Fri Nov 9 20:47:05 CET 2007
32 - enable/disable tracing from a new coroutine, not a pooled one.
33 - fix a memleak in Coro::Event.
34 - removed killall call from fork_eval.
35 - made sure store_fd is already loaded so that fork_eval
36 does not have to parse autoload in each subprocess.
37 - only use assembly method if -O switch is in $Config{optimize}.
38 - add (optional) Coro::EV module, so far the best event loop module
39 directly supported by Coro.
40 - if the event model is EV, use EV::DNS to resolve
41 stuff in Coro::Util.
42 - don't get confused by multiple event notifications in Coro::Handle.
43 - initial support for EV (libevent interface).
44 - require Event and EV using configure_requires, to force their existance.
45
464.13 Wed Oct 24 07:26:45 CEST 2007
47 - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw.
48 - use a vastly more complicated technique to localise
49 $SIG{__WARN/DIE__} that also works on perls <= 5.8.8.
50 - use a coroutine for the idle callback Coro::Event,
51 instead of running Event in the current coroutine context.
52 This also catches recursive invocations.
53 - actually report fork errors in gethostbyname and inet_aton.
54
554.11 Thu Oct 11 02:40:24 CEST 2007
56 - port to threaded perls.
57
584.1 Thu Oct 11 02:38:16 CEST 2007
59 - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now
60 be local to each coro (see Coro::State).
61 - incompatible change: for very deep reasons, cede and cede_notself
62 cannot return anything, so nothing will be returned.
63 - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested).
64 - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(.
65 - overlay the saved state over the context stack. This saves
66 a few hundred bytes per coroutine on average and also
67 speeds up context switching a bit.
68 - further tune default stack sizes.
69 - (more) correctly calculate stack usage in coro_rss.
70 - Coro::Storable::blocking_* did not properly lock
71 resulting in races between coroutines.
72 - added Coro::Storable::guard.
73 - stopping to trace a coroutine could destroy the cctx of
74 an unrelated coroutine.
75 - explain the relationship between Perl and C coroutines in
76 more detail in Coro::State.
77 - Coro::Util::inet_aton did not short-circuit dotted quad forms,
78 causing a fork per resolve. This also affected Coro::Socket.
79 - switch to a separate stack in $coro->call/eval to avoid
80 invalidating pointers.
81
824.03 Sat Oct 6 21:24:00 CEST 2007
83 - added Coro::throw method.
84 - minor code cleanups.
85
864.02 Sat Oct 6 02:36:47 CEST 2007
87 - fix a very minor per-coroutine memleak (a single codereference).
88 - fixed a bug where the currently in-use c context would be freed
89 prematurely (can happen only when programs change the stacksize
90 or use tracing).
91 - tracing can no longer keep a coro alive after it terminated.
92 - do static branch prediction in the common path for gcc. gives
93 about 2-5% speed improvement here.
94
954.01 Fri Oct 5 22:10:49 CEST 2007
96 - instead of recreating *a* standard output handle we simply
97 use STDOUT, which is faster and hopefully more robust.
98
994.0 Fri Oct 5 12:56:00 CEST 2007
100 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze.
101 - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine
102 debugging, tracing and much more.
103 - major bug fix: unbelievable, but true: $_, $/ and many other
104 "saved" variables actually weren't being saved. This has been fixed,
105 of course, while increasing performance while losing all the save
106 flags.
107 - save flags are gone, and all the api functions dealing with them.
10 - added Coro::Semaphore::adjust. 108 - added Coro::Semaphore::adjust.
109 - added Coro::Util::fork_eval.
110 - added Coro::Storable::{nfreeze,blocking_{freeze,nfreeze}}.
111 - added Coro::killall.
112 - reduce initial stack sizes to allow for "micro-coroutines".
113 - better async_pool resource management, moved parts of async_pool
114 handling to XS (major speed improvement).
115 - actually croak before modifying important data structures.
116 - refuse to transfer while compiling.
117 - possibly support eval EXPR better now.
118 - enable assembly per default on linux+bsd x86+amd64.
119 - all internal members were renamed _something for easier subclassing.
120 - many minor tweaks.

123.63 Wed May 16 14:10:06 CEST 2007 1223.63 Wed May 16 14:10:06 CEST 2007
13 - implement handcoded assembly for x86/amd64 SVR ABI. 123 - implement handcoded assembly for x86/amd64 SVR ABI.
