85.0
9 - (libcoro) did not preserve rbp with CORO_ASM (we are getting there).
10 - (libcoro) no longer leak threads in the experimental pthread backend,
11 also speed it up considerably.
12 - fix compiletime dependencies on libcoro in the Makefile.
13 - cctx_count wasn't always updated properly.
14 - (libcoro) cleanup and extend the libcoro API to officialy
15 allow creation of empty source contexts.
16
174.804 Wed Nov 5 16:36:00 CET 2008
18 - Coro::Debug::new_unix_server would not create a non-blocking listening
19 socket, sometimes causing freezes.
20 - (libcoro) fix misaligned stack points for setjmp and assembly
21 methods, which can cause crashes on x86/x86_64 with a sufficiently
22 aggressive compiler.
23 - new function: Coro::Debug::new_tcp_server.
24 - move ->throw into the Coro class because it only works on coro objects.
25
264.803 Mon Nov 3 17:16:12 CET 2008
27 - (libcoro) use a global asm statement to become independent of gcc
28 otpimisations for CORO_ASM (thanks to pippijn for the idea).
29 - try to workaround yet another broken bsd, this time dragonfly.
30
314.802 Thu Oct 30 10:56:12 CET 2008
32 - support -fno-omit-frame-pointer on x86 with the assembly method.
33 - tune 01_unblock.t tests a bit.
34
354.801 Wed Oct 22 18:33:37 CEST 2008
36 - improve readline speed for very long "lines".
37 - backport to 5.8.8.
38
394.8 Thu Oct 2 13:34:40 CEST 2008
40 - new function Coro::AIO::aio_wait.
41 - Coro.:AIO and Coro::BDB now "use Coro::AnyEvent".
42 - greatly speed up and reduce memory usage of Coro::AIO requests.
43 - implement some other µ-optimisations.
44
454.749 Mon Sep 29 14:40:12 CEST 2008
46 - port to slow and broken pseudo-threaded perls. (courtesy pippijn).
47
484.748 Sat Sep 27 14:03:19 CEST 2008
49 - implement, but do not document, PerlIO::cede(granularity).
50 - Coro::Storable forgot to wrap Storable::pstore.
51 - work around the multitude of leaks and memory corruption
52 bugs in PerlIO::via by using our own C-level perliol. As a side
53 effect, Coro::Storable is now much, much, much faster.
54
554.747 Tue Sep 23 01:59:41 CEST 2008
56 - fix a per-cv memleak (one empty array was leaked per
57 code reference).
58 - avoid a crash in coro->call|rss when the coroutine was already
59 destroyed (most noticably when using Coro::Debug::ps :)
60 - also protect *Storable::FILE.
61 - push up default storable granularity to 20ms.
62
634.746 Sun Sep 21 03:22:20 CEST 2008
64 - be more insistent on locking Storable against reentrancy
65 in Coro::Storable.
66 - move swap_def?v and throw to Coro::State, as documented.
67
684.745 Thu Jul 24 00:14:38 CEST 2008
69 - remove debugging code related to MgPV_nolen_const, also try to
70 make it compile with perl 5.8.6 (yes, apple apparently loves
71 outdated software). Reported by John S.
72
734.744 Tue Jul 8 22:06:35 CEST 2008
74 - correctly provide default DIE/WARN handlers as documented.
75 - also overwrite PL_vtbl_sigelem.svt_clear, even though current
76 implementations inside perl work fine for us.
77
784.743 Mon Jun 16 00:21:57 CEST 2008
79 - when using Coro::EV without running EV::loop it could
80 result in busy-waiting for events, this has been fixed.
81 - reduce codesize and improve performance by using EV_DEFAULT_UC.
82
834.742 Sat May 31 14:10:21 CEST 2008
84 - implement a workaround for (some) perl <5.8.8 versions.
85 - require EV 3.3+.
86
874.741 Fri May 30 23:33:09 CEST 2008
88 - tell netbsd how utterly broken their imitation of an OS is
89 and refuse to build by default if pthreads are in use.
90 - switch to "s" method on all bsd's by default, as their ucontext
91 stuff seems just too broken.
92 - fix a bug in Coro::Select.
93
944.74 Thu May 29 20:05:31 CEST 2008
95 - do not test Coro::LWP for lack of dependencies.
96 - do not test Coro::Select for lack of working perls.
97
984.73 Thu May 29 2008
99 - fix a bug in Coro::EV which would cause it to block despite
100 there being runnable coroutines.
101 - sprinkle "no warnings" freely over everything, also suppress
102 warnings for some other modules.
103 - fix typo in WSAEWOULDBLOCK.
104
1054.72 Sun May 25 05:14:36 CEST 2008
106 - tweak META.yaml a bit, unfortunately, there is no documented way
107 to have optional dependencies with CPAN. doh :(
108 - avoid running some tests on windows because they would fail due to
109 perl bug (broken fork, broken pipes...).
110 - work around perl on windows bugs where perl returns undocumented
111 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc. by taking advantage
112 of AnyEvent's workaround for that problem.
113 - use AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking in Coro::Handle to work around
114 a common perl implementation bug on windows.
115 - use unix domain sockets in testsuite to work around
116 common perl implementation bugs on widows (they are emulated by
117 tcp sockets on windows. ugh.)
118
1194.71 Sat May 24 20:01:27 CEST 2008
120 - fix a bug in Coro::AnyEvent ("Usage: Coro::AnyEvent::_schedule()").
121 - take advantage of async name resolution of AnyEvent::Util.
122 - work around brutal inet_aton override in Coro::LWP.
123 - take advantage of the readyhook in Coro::EV, for smoother
124 scheduling.
125
1264.7 Sun May 11 00:32:19 CEST 2008
127 - completely reworked the Coro manpage.
128 - added Coro::AnyEvent, generic event loop integration.
129 - implement cancel, ready and kill commands in Coro::Debug.
130 - document find_coro in Coro::Debug.
131 - incompatible change: rename has_stack to has_cctx.
132 - Coro::AIO and Coro::BDB no longer force event model detection,
133 use AnyEvent::AIO and AnyEvent::BDB.
134
1354.6 Sat Apr 26 10:05:14 CEST 2008
136 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: sub/code attributes are no longer supported
137 by the Coro module. It was a mistake to have it in the first place.
138 - (experimental) support for activestate perl 5.10 (method "w").
139 - (experimental) support for strawberry perl (method "a").
140 - coro_sigelem_set did not return a value although it had to,
141 actual impact unknown.
142
1434.51 Mon Apr 14 13:28:27 CEST 2008
144 - make it compile again on 5.8.
145
1464.50 Thu Apr 10 09:43:17 CEST 2008
147 - I did it twice! (see 4.49).
148
1494.49 Sun Apr 6 21:23:31 CEST 2008
150 - grr, instead of compiling the recent changes on 5.10 only they
151 were compiled on 5.8 only.
152
1534.48 Sun Apr 6 20:36:46 CEST 2008
154 - allow coroutine switches during eval's under 5.10.x, as it seems
155 the parser is a per-interpreter option now, so this is safe
156 (this might fix the odd crashing bug).
157 - drop support for 5.9.x versions: they are dead, jim.
158
1594.47 Sun Apr 6 00:37:52 CEST 2008
160 - force cctx allocation on API calls: we know we need to force one
161 and gcc actually manages to confuse our heuristic nowadays,
162 leading to crashes and worse.
163 - document force_cctx.
164
1654.46 Fri Apr 4 22:05:43 CEST 2008
166 - upgrade libcoro, resulting in pthread-backend (which was only created
167 to fulfill the rules of the programming languages shootout).
168
1694.45 Thu Mar 13 11:55:36 CET 2008
170 - fix a file leaking bug in eg/mhyttpd that would allow
171 downloading of any file (reported by oesi).
172 - fix deadlock bug in Coro::Channel (reported by Richard Hundt)
173 (also add testcase).
174 - support Broadcast option in Coro::Socket (patch by Richard Hundt,
175 apparently having loads of fun with that).
176 - implement $state->swap_defsv, ->swap_defav and document ->throw.
177
1784.4 Wed Feb 13 16:44:29 CET 2008
179 - only assume .cfi pseudo isns exist on GNU/Linux.
180 - add get_timed method to Coro::Channels.
181 - fixed Coro::Debug manpage.
182 - perl 5.11 compatbility improvement based on patch by
183 Andreas König.
184
1854.37 Sun Jan 20 11:25:23 CET 2008
186 - soften the check for an active parser for perl 5.10 (avoiding
187 "Coro::State::transfer called while parsing" in many cases).
188
1894.36 Sun Jan 13 10:53:56 CET 2008
190 - reset diehook when terminating from an async_pool as to not
191 trigger any __DIE__ handlers.
7 192
84.35 Sun Jan 13 04:14:13 CET 2008 1934.35 Sun Jan 13 04:14:13 CET 2008
9 - "bt" debug command now displays any exceptions 194 - "bt" debug command now displays any exceptions
10 from longmess and also skips the innermost 195 from longmess and also skips the innermost
11 stackframes, giving more useufl output. 196 stackframes, giving more useufl output.
12 - allow backtraces in coroutines blocked in Coro::EV, 197 - allow backtraces in coroutines blocked in Coro::EV,
13 at a <1% speed hit. 198 at a <1% speed hit.
14 - handle localising of $SIG{__WARN__} and __DIE__ 199 - handle localising of $SIG{__WARN__} and __DIE__
15 properly (with a proepr amount of dirty hacking). 200 properly (with a proper amount of dirty hacking).

174.34 Sat Dec 22 17:49:53 CET 2007 2024.34 Sat Dec 22 17:49:53 CET 2007
18 - upgrade to EV version 2.0 API. 203 - upgrade to EV version 2.0 API.
