9 - port to slow and broken pseudo-threaded perls. (courtesy pippijn).
10
114.748 Sat Sep 27 14:03:19 CEST 2008
12 - implement, but do not document, PerlIO::cede(granularity).
13 - Coro::Storable forgot to wrap Storable::pstore.
14 - work around the multitude of leaks and memory corruption
15 bugs in PerlIO::via by using our own C-level perliol. As a side
16 effect, Coro::Storable is now much, much, much faster.
17
184.747 Tue Sep 23 01:59:41 CEST 2008
19 - fix a per-cv memleak (one empty array was leaked per
20 code reference).
21 - avoid a crash in coro->call|rss when the coroutine was already
22 destroyed (most noticably when using Coro::Debug::ps :)
23 - also protect *Storable::FILE.
24 - push up default storable granularity to 20ms.
25
264.746 Sun Sep 21 03:22:20 CEST 2008
27 - be more insistent on locking Storable against reentrancy
28 in Coro::Storable.
29 - move swap_def?v and throw to Coro::State, as documented.
30
314.745 Thu Jul 24 00:14:38 CEST 2008
32 - remove debugging code related to MgPV_nolen_const, also try to
33 make it compile with perl 5.8.6 (yes, apple apparently loves
34 outdated software). Reported by John S.
35
364.744 Tue Jul 8 22:06:35 CEST 2008
37 - correctly provide default DIE/WARN handlers as documented.
38 - also overwrite PL_vtbl_sigelem.svt_clear, even though current
39 implementations inside perl work fine for us.
40
414.743 Mon Jun 16 00:21:57 CEST 2008
42 - when using Coro::EV without running EV::loop it could
43 result in busy-waiting for events, this has been fixed.
44 - reduce codesize and improve performance by using EV_DEFAULT_UC.
45
464.742 Sat May 31 14:10:21 CEST 2008
47 - implement a workaround for (some) perl <5.8.8 versions.
48 - require EV 3.3+.
49
504.741 Fri May 30 23:33:09 CEST 2008
51 - tell netbsd how utterly broken their imitation of an OS is
52 and refuse to build by default if pthreads are in use.
53 - switch to "s" method on all bsd's by default, as their ucontext
54 stuff seems just too broken.
55 - fix a bug in Coro::Select.
56
574.74 Thu May 29 20:05:31 CEST 2008
58 - do not test Coro::LWP for lack of dependencies.
59 - do not test Coro::Select for lack of working perls.
60
614.73 Thu May 29 2008
62 - fix a bug in Coro::EV which would cause it to block despite
63 there being runnable coroutines.
64 - sprinkle "no warnings" freely over everything, also suppress
65 warnings for some other modules.
66 - fix typo in WSAEWOULDBLOCK.
67
684.72 Sun May 25 05:14:36 CEST 2008
69 - tweak META.yaml a bit, unfortunately, there is no documented way
70 to have optional dependencies with CPAN. doh :(
71 - avoid running some tests on windows because they would fail due to
72 perl bug (broken fork, broken pipes...).
73 - work around perl on windows bugs where perl returns undocumented
74 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc. by taking advantage
75 of AnyEvent's workaround for that problem.
76 - use AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking in Coro::Handle to work around
77 a common perl implementation bug on windows.
78 - use unix domain sockets in testsuite to work around
79 common perl implementation bugs on widows (they are emulated by
80 tcp sockets on windows. ugh.)
81
824.71 Sat May 24 20:01:27 CEST 2008
83 - fix a bug in Coro::AnyEvent ("Usage: Coro::AnyEvent::_schedule()").
84 - take advantage of async name resolution of AnyEvent::Util.
85 - work around brutal inet_aton override in Coro::LWP.
86 - take advantage of the readyhook in Coro::EV, for smoother
87 scheduling.
88
894.7 Sun May 11 00:32:19 CEST 2008
90 - completely reworked the Coro manpage.
91 - added Coro::AnyEvent, generic event loop integration.
92 - implement cancel, ready and kill commands in Coro::Debug.
93 - document find_coro in Coro::Debug.
94 - incompatible change: rename has_stack to has_cctx.
95 - Coro::AIO and Coro::BDB no longer force event model detection,
96 use AnyEvent::AIO and AnyEvent::BDB.
97
984.6 Sat Apr 26 10:05:14 CEST 2008
99 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: sub/code attributes are no longer supported
100 by the Coro module. It was a mistake to have it in the first place.
101 - (experimental) support for activestate perl 5.10 (method "w").
102 - (experimental) support for strawberry perl (method "a").
103 - coro_sigelem_set did not return a value although it had to,
104 actual impact unknown.
105
1064.51 Mon Apr 14 13:28:27 CEST 2008
107 - make it compile again on 5.8.
108
1094.50 Thu Apr 10 09:43:17 CEST 2008
110 - I did it twice! (see 4.49).
111
1124.49 Sun Apr 6 21:23:31 CEST 2008
113 - grr, instead of compiling the recent changes on 5.10 only they
114 were compiled on 5.8 only.
115
1164.48 Sun Apr 6 20:36:46 CEST 2008
117 - allow coroutine switches during eval's under 5.10.x, as it seems
118 the parser is a per-interpreter option now, so this is safe
119 (this might fix the odd crashing bug).
120 - drop support for 5.9.x versions: they are dead, jim.
121
1224.47 Sun Apr 6 00:37:52 CEST 2008
123 - force cctx allocation on API calls: we know we need to force one
124 and gcc actually manages to confuse our heuristic nowadays,
125 leading to crashes and worse.
126 - document force_cctx.
127
1284.46 Fri Apr 4 22:05:43 CEST 2008
129 - upgrade libcoro, resulting in pthread-backend (which was only created
130 to fulfill the rules of the programming languages shootout).
131
1324.45 Thu Mar 13 11:55:36 CET 2008
133 - fix a file leaking bug in eg/mhyttpd that would allow
134 downloading of any file (reported by oesi).
135 - fix deadlock bug in Coro::Channel (reported by Richard Hundt)
136 (also add testcase).
137 - support Broadcast option in Coro::Socket (patch by Richard Hundt,
138 apparently having loads of fun with that).
139 - implement $state->swap_defsv, ->swap_defav and document ->throw.
140
1414.4 Wed Feb 13 16:44:29 CET 2008
142 - only assume .cfi pseudo isns exist on GNU/Linux.
143 - add get_timed method to Coro::Channels.
144 - fixed Coro::Debug manpage.
145 - perl 5.11 compatbility improvement based on patch by
146 Andreas König.
147
1484.37 Sun Jan 20 11:25:23 CET 2008
149 - soften the check for an active parser for perl 5.10 (avoiding
150 "Coro::State::transfer called while parsing" in many cases).
151
1524.36 Sun Jan 13 10:53:56 CET 2008
153 - reset diehook when terminating from an async_pool as to not
154 trigger any __DIE__ handlers.
155
1564.35 Sun Jan 13 04:14:13 CET 2008
157 - "bt" debug command now displays any exceptions
158 from longmess and also skips the innermost
159 stackframes, giving more useufl output.
160 - allow backtraces in coroutines blocked in Coro::EV,
161 at a <1% speed hit.
162 - handle localising of $SIG{__WARN__} and __DIE__
163 properly (with a proper amount of dirty hacking).
164
1654.34 Sat Dec 22 17:49:53 CET 2007
9 - upgrade to EV version 2.0 API. 166 - upgrade to EV version 2.0 API.
10 167
114.33 Mon Dec 17 08:36:12 CET 2007 1684.33 Mon Dec 17 08:36:12 CET 2007
12 - make Coro::AIO etc. loadable in the absence of EV. 169 - make Coro::AIO etc. loadable in the absence of EV.
