84.0 84.4 Wed Feb 13 16:44:29 CET 2008
9 - only assume .cfi pseudo isns exist on GNU/Linux.
10 - add get_timed method to Coro::Channels.
11 - fixed Coro::Debug manpage.
12 - perl 5.11 compatbility improvement based on patch by
13 Andreas König.
14
154.37 Sun Jan 20 11:25:23 CET 2008
16 - soften the check for an active parser for perl 5.10 (avoiding
17 "Coro::State::transfer called while parsing" in many cases).
18
194.36 Sun Jan 13 10:53:56 CET 2008
20 - reset diehook when terminating from an async_pool as to not
21 trigger any __DIE__ handlers.
22
234.35 Sun Jan 13 04:14:13 CET 2008
24 - "bt" debug command now displays any exceptions
25 from longmess and also skips the innermost
26 stackframes, giving more useufl output.
27 - allow backtraces in coroutines blocked in Coro::EV,
28 at a <1% speed hit.
29 - handle localising of $SIG{__WARN__} and __DIE__
30 properly (with a proper amount of dirty hacking).
31
324.34 Sat Dec 22 17:49:53 CET 2007
33 - upgrade to EV version 2.0 API.
34
354.33 Mon Dec 17 08:36:12 CET 2007
36 - make Coro::AIO etc. loadable in the absence of EV.
37
384.32 Mon Dec 17 07:46:02 CET 2007
39 - majorly improved Coro::Handle's performance with Coro::EV.
40 - implemented the until now mythical Coro::BDB module.
41 - specialcase EV in Coro::AIO and Coro::BDB for extra speed.
42
434.31 Wed Dec 5 12:32:39 CET 2007
44 - remove warn statement form Coro::Util.
45
464.3 Tue Dec 4 20:33:14 CET 2007
47 - calls to the idle function could cause stack corruption
48 when the stack changed.
49 - do no longer rely on the presence of EV::DNS if EV is used
50 (because it is gone), but instead take avdantage of EV::ADNS
51 if available.
52 - add ($) prototypes to all functions in Coro::Storable.
53 - use a conventional (safer) idle callback in Coro::EV.
54 - do accept quickly in Coro::Debug to avoid endless loops.
55
564.22 Fri Nov 30 16:04:04 CET 2007
57 - really use optimised versions for Event and EV in Coro::Util
58 and Coro::Handle.
59
604.21 Sun Nov 25 10:48:59 CET 2007
61 - fix a spurious memory read.
62 - Coro::EV no longer keeps the eventloop "alive".
63
644.2 Fri Nov 9 20:47:05 CET 2007
65 - enable/disable tracing from a new coroutine, not a pooled one.
66 - fix a memleak in Coro::Event.
67 - removed killall call from fork_eval.
68 - made sure store_fd is already loaded so that fork_eval
69 does not have to parse autoload in each subprocess.
70 - only use assembly method if -O switch is in $Config{optimize}.
71 - add (optional) Coro::EV module, so far the best event loop module
72 directly supported by Coro.
73 - if the event model is EV, use EV::DNS to resolve
74 stuff in Coro::Util.
75 - don't get confused by multiple event notifications in Coro::Handle.
76 - initial support for EV (libevent interface).
77 - require Event and EV using configure_requires, to force their existance.
78
794.13 Wed Oct 24 07:26:45 CEST 2007
80 - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw.
81 - use a vastly more complicated technique to localise
82 $SIG{__WARN/DIE__} that also works on perls <= 5.8.8.
83 - use a coroutine for the idle callback Coro::Event,
84 instead of running Event in the current coroutine context.
85 This also catches recursive invocations.
86 - actually report fork errors in gethostbyname and inet_aton.
87
884.11 Thu Oct 11 02:40:24 CEST 2007
89 - port to threaded perls.
90
914.1 Thu Oct 11 02:38:16 CEST 2007
92 - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now
93 be local to each coro (see Coro::State).
94 - incompatible change: for very deep reasons, cede and cede_notself
95 cannot return anything, so nothing will be returned.
96 - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested).
97 - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(.
98 - overlay the saved state over the context stack. This saves
99 a few hundred bytes per coroutine on average and also
100 speeds up context switching a bit.
101 - further tune default stack sizes.
102 - (more) correctly calculate stack usage in coro_rss.
103 - Coro::Storable::blocking_* did not properly lock
104 resulting in races between coroutines.
105 - added Coro::Storable::guard.
106 - stopping to trace a coroutine could destroy the cctx of
107 an unrelated coroutine.
108 - explain the relationship between Perl and C coroutines in
109 more detail in Coro::State.
110 - Coro::Util::inet_aton did not short-circuit dotted quad forms,
111 causing a fork per resolve. This also affected Coro::Socket.
112 - switch to a separate stack in $coro->call/eval to avoid
113 invalidating pointers.
114
1154.03 Sat Oct 6 21:24:00 CEST 2007
116 - added Coro::throw method.
117 - minor code cleanups.
118
1194.02 Sat Oct 6 02:36:47 CEST 2007
120 - fix a very minor per-coroutine memleak (a single codereference).
121 - fixed a bug where the currently in-use c context would be freed
122 prematurely (can happen only when programs change the stacksize
123 or use tracing).
124 - tracing can no longer keep a coro alive after it terminated.
125 - do static branch prediction in the common path for gcc. gives
126 about 2-5% speed improvement here.
127
1284.01 Fri Oct 5 22:10:49 CEST 2007
129 - instead of recreating *a* standard output handle we simply
130 use STDOUT, which is faster and hopefully more robust.
131
1324.0 Fri Oct 5 12:56:00 CEST 2007
9 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze. 133 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze.
10 - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine 134 - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine
11 debugging, tracing and much more. 135 debugging, tracing and much more.
12 - unbelievable, but true: $_, $@ and many other "saved" variables 136 - major bug fix: unbelievable, but true: $_, $/ and many other
13 actually weren't being saved. This has been fixed, of course, 137 "saved" variables actually weren't being saved. This has been fixed,
14 while increasing performance while losing all the save flags. 138 of course, while increasing performance while losing all the save
139 flags.
15 - save flags are gone, and all the api functions dealing with them. 140 - save flags are gone, and all the api functions dealing with them.
