84.0 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

11 debugging, tracing and much more. 102 debugging, tracing and much more.
12 - unbelievable, but true: $_, $@ and many other "saved" variables 103 - major bug fix: unbelievable, but true: $_, $/ and many other
13 actually weren't being saved. This has been fixed, of course, 104 "saved" variables actually weren't being saved. This has been fixed,
14 while increasing performance while losing all the save flags. 105 of course, while increasing performance while losing all the save
106 flags.
15 - save flags are gone, and all the api functions dealing with them. 107 - save flags are gone, and all the api functions dealing with them.
