84.1 84.35
9 - "bt" debug command now displays any exceptions
10 from longmess and also skips the innermost
11 stackframes, giving more useufl output.
12 - allow backtraces in coroutines blocked in Coro::EV,
13 at a <1% speed hit.
14
154.34 Sat Dec 22 17:49:53 CET 2007
16 - upgrade to EV version 2.0 API.
17
184.33 Mon Dec 17 08:36:12 CET 2007
19 - make Coro::AIO etc. loadable in the absence of EV.
20
214.32 Mon Dec 17 07:46:02 CET 2007
22 - majorly improved Coro::Handle's performance with Coro::EV.
23 - implemented the until now mythical Coro::BDB module.
24 - specialcase EV in Coro::AIO and Coro::BDB for extra speed.
25
264.31 Wed Dec 5 12:32:39 CET 2007
27 - remove warn statement form Coro::Util.
28
294.3 Tue Dec 4 20:33:14 CET 2007
30 - calls to the idle function could cause stack corruption
31 when the stack changed.
32 - do no longer rely on the presence of EV::DNS if EV is used
33 (because it is gone), but instead take avdantage of EV::ADNS
34 if available.
35 - add ($) prototypes to all functions in Coro::Storable.
36 - use a conventional (safer) idle callback in Coro::EV.
37 - do accept quickly in Coro::Debug to avoid endless loops.
38
394.22 Fri Nov 30 16:04:04 CET 2007
40 - really use optimised versions for Event and EV in Coro::Util
41 and Coro::Handle.
42
434.21 Sun Nov 25 10:48:59 CET 2007
44 - fix a spurious memory read.
45 - Coro::EV no longer keeps the eventloop "alive".
46
474.2 Fri Nov 9 20:47:05 CET 2007
48 - enable/disable tracing from a new coroutine, not a pooled one.
49 - fix a memleak in Coro::Event.
50 - removed killall call from fork_eval.
51 - made sure store_fd is already loaded so that fork_eval
52 does not have to parse autoload in each subprocess.
53 - only use assembly method if -O switch is in $Config{optimize}.
54 - add (optional) Coro::EV module, so far the best event loop module
55 directly supported by Coro.
56 - if the event model is EV, use EV::DNS to resolve
57 stuff in Coro::Util.
58 - don't get confused by multiple event notifications in Coro::Handle.
59 - initial support for EV (libevent interface).
60 - require Event and EV using configure_requires, to force their existance.
61
624.13 Wed Oct 24 07:26:45 CEST 2007
63 - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw.
64 - use a vastly more complicated technique to localise
65 $SIG{__WARN/DIE__} that also works on perls <= 5.8.8.
66 - use a coroutine for the idle callback Coro::Event,
67 instead of running Event in the current coroutine context.
68 This also catches recursive invocations.
69 - actually report fork errors in gethostbyname and inet_aton.
70
714.11 Thu Oct 11 02:40:24 CEST 2007
72 - port to threaded perls.
73
744.1 Thu Oct 11 02:38:16 CEST 2007
9 - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now 75 - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now
10 be local to each coro (see Coro::State). 76 be local to each coro (see Coro::State).
11 - introducing result types to schedule required some drastic 77 - incompatible change: for very deep reasons, cede and cede_notself
12 hackery, so beware. 78 cannot return anything, so nothing will be returned.
13 - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested). 79 - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested).
14 - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(. 80 - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(.
15 - overlay the saved state over the context stack. This saves 81 - overlay the saved state over the context stack. This saves
16 a few hundred bytes per coroutine on average and also 82 a few hundred bytes per coroutine on average and also
17 speeds up context switching a bit. 83 speeds up context switching a bit.
24 an unrelated coroutine. 90 an unrelated coroutine.
25 - explain the relationship between Perl and C coroutines in 91 - explain the relationship between Perl and C coroutines in
26 more detail in Coro::State. 92 more detail in Coro::State.
27 - Coro::Util::inet_aton did not short-circuit dotted quad forms, 93 - Coro::Util::inet_aton did not short-circuit dotted quad forms,
28 causing a fork per resolve. This also affected Coro::Socket. 94 causing a fork per resolve. This also affected Coro::Socket.
29 - sped up Coro::Event next event handling by 15%, uses less memory.
30 - switch to a separate stack in $coro->call/eval to avoid 95 - switch to a separate stack in $coro->call/eval to avoid
31 invalidating pointers. 96 invalidating pointers.
32 - cede/cede_notself should now correctly return their status.

35 - added Coro::throw method. 99 - added Coro::throw method.
36 - minor code cleanups. 100 - minor code cleanups.
