|
|
9 | - use a global asm statement to become independent of gcc otpimisations |
|
|
10 | for CORO_ASM (thanks to pippijn for the idea). |
|
|
11 | - try to workaround yet another broken bsd, this time dragonfly. |
|
|
12 | |
|
|
13 | 4.802 Thu Oct 30 10:56:12 CET 2008 |
|
|
14 | - support -fno-omit-frame-pointer on x86 with the assembly method. |
|
|
15 | - tune 01_unblock.t tests a bit. |
|
|
16 | |
|
|
17 | 4.801 Wed Oct 22 18:33:37 CEST 2008 |
|
|
18 | - improve readline speed for very long "lines". |
|
|
19 | - backport to 5.8.8. |
|
|
20 | |
|
|
21 | 4.8 Thu Oct 2 13:34:40 CEST 2008 |
|
|
22 | - new function Coro::AIO::aio_wait. |
|
|
23 | - Coro.:AIO and Coro::BDB now "use Coro::AnyEvent". |
|
|
24 | - greatly speed up and reduce memory usage of Coro::AIO requests. |
|
|
25 | - implement some other ยต-optimisations. |
|
|
26 | |
|
|
27 | 4.749 Mon Sep 29 14:40:12 CEST 2008 |
|
|
28 | - port to slow and broken pseudo-threaded perls. (courtesy pippijn). |
|
|
29 | |
|
|
30 | 4.748 Sat Sep 27 14:03:19 CEST 2008 |
|
|
31 | - implement, but do not document, PerlIO::cede(granularity). |
|
|
32 | - Coro::Storable forgot to wrap Storable::pstore. |
|
|
33 | - work around the multitude of leaks and memory corruption |
|
|
34 | bugs in PerlIO::via by using our own C-level perliol. As a side |
|
|
35 | effect, Coro::Storable is now much, much, much faster. |
|
|
36 | |
|
|
37 | 4.747 Tue Sep 23 01:59:41 CEST 2008 |
|
|
38 | - fix a per-cv memleak (one empty array was leaked per |
|
|
39 | code reference). |
|
|
40 | - avoid a crash in coro->call|rss when the coroutine was already |
|
|
41 | destroyed (most noticably when using Coro::Debug::ps :) |
|
|
42 | - also protect *Storable::FILE. |
|
|
43 | - push up default storable granularity to 20ms. |
|
|
44 | |
|
|
45 | 4.746 Sun Sep 21 03:22:20 CEST 2008 |
|
|
46 | - be more insistent on locking Storable against reentrancy |
|
|
47 | in Coro::Storable. |
|
|
48 | - move swap_def?v and throw to Coro::State, as documented. |
|
|
49 | |
|
|
50 | 4.745 Thu Jul 24 00:14:38 CEST 2008 |
|
|
51 | - remove debugging code related to MgPV_nolen_const, also try to |
|
|
52 | make it compile with perl 5.8.6 (yes, apple apparently loves |
|
|
53 | outdated software). Reported by John S. |
|
|
54 | |
|
|
55 | 4.744 Tue Jul 8 22:06:35 CEST 2008 |
|
|
56 | - correctly provide default DIE/WARN handlers as documented. |
|
|
57 | - also overwrite PL_vtbl_sigelem.svt_clear, even though current |
|
|
58 | implementations inside perl work fine for us. |
|
|
59 | |
|
|
60 | 4.743 Mon Jun 16 00:21:57 CEST 2008 |
|
|
61 | - when using Coro::EV without running EV::loop it could |
|
|
62 | result in busy-waiting for events, this has been fixed. |
|
|
63 | - reduce codesize and improve performance by using EV_DEFAULT_UC. |
|
|
64 | |
|
|
65 | 4.742 Sat May 31 14:10:21 CEST 2008 |
|
|
66 | - implement a workaround for (some) perl <5.8.8 versions. |
|
|
67 | - require EV 3.3+. |
|
|
68 | |
|
|
69 | 4.741 Fri May 30 23:33:09 CEST 2008 |
|
|
70 | - tell netbsd how utterly broken their imitation of an OS is |
|
|
71 | and refuse to build by default if pthreads are in use. |
|
|
72 | - switch to "s" method on all bsd's by default, as their ucontext |
|
|
73 | stuff seems just too broken. |
|
|
74 | - fix a bug in Coro::Select. |
|
|
75 | |
|
|
76 | 4.74 Thu May 29 20:05:31 CEST 2008 |
|
|
77 | - do not test Coro::LWP for lack of dependencies. |
|
|
78 | - do not test Coro::Select for lack of working perls. |
|
|
79 | |
|
|
80 | 4.73 Thu May 29 2008 |
|
|
81 | - fix a bug in Coro::EV which would cause it to block despite |
|
|
82 | there being runnable coroutines. |
|
|
83 | - sprinkle "no warnings" freely over everything, also suppress |
|
|
84 | warnings for some other modules. |
|
|
85 | - fix typo in WSAEWOULDBLOCK. |
|
|
86 | |
|
|
87 | 4.72 Sun May 25 05:14:36 CEST 2008 |
|
|
88 | - tweak META.yaml a bit, unfortunately, there is no documented way |
|
|
89 | to have optional dependencies with CPAN. doh :( |
|
|
90 | - avoid running some tests on windows because they would fail due to |
|
|
91 | perl bug (broken fork, broken pipes...). |
|
|
92 | - work around perl on windows bugs where perl returns undocumented |
|
|
93 | error codes for sysread, syswrite etc. by taking advantage |
|
|
94 | of AnyEvent's workaround for that problem. |
|
|
95 | - use AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking in Coro::Handle to work around |
|
|
96 | a common perl implementation bug on windows. |
|
|
97 | - use unix domain sockets in testsuite to work around |
|
|
98 | common perl implementation bugs on widows (they are emulated by |
|
|
99 | tcp sockets on windows. ugh.) |
|
|
100 | |
|
|
101 | 4.71 Sat May 24 20:01:27 CEST 2008 |
|
|
102 | - fix a bug in Coro::AnyEvent ("Usage: Coro::AnyEvent::_schedule()"). |
|
|
103 | - take advantage of async name resolution of AnyEvent::Util. |
|
|
104 | - work around brutal inet_aton override in Coro::LWP. |
|
|
105 | - take advantage of the readyhook in Coro::EV, for smoother |
|
|
106 | scheduling. |
|
|
107 | |
|
|
108 | 4.7 Sun May 11 00:32:19 CEST 2008 |
|
|
109 | - completely reworked the Coro manpage. |
|
|
110 | - added Coro::AnyEvent, generic event loop integration. |
|
|
111 | - implement cancel, ready and kill commands in Coro::Debug. |
|
|
112 | - document find_coro in Coro::Debug. |
|
|
113 | - incompatible change: rename has_stack to has_cctx. |
|
|
114 | - Coro::AIO and Coro::BDB no longer force event model detection, |
|
|
115 | use AnyEvent::AIO and AnyEvent::BDB. |
|
|
116 | |
|
|
117 | 4.6 Sat Apr 26 10:05:14 CEST 2008 |
|
|
118 | - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: sub/code attributes are no longer supported |
|
|
119 | by the Coro module. It was a mistake to have it in the first place. |
|
|
120 | - (experimental) support for activestate perl 5.10 (method "w"). |
|
|
121 | - (experimental) support for strawberry perl (method "a"). |
|
|
122 | - coro_sigelem_set did not return a value although it had to, |
|
|
123 | actual impact unknown. |
|
|
124 | |
|
|
125 | 4.51 Mon Apr 14 13:28:27 CEST 2008 |
|
|
126 | - make it compile again on 5.8. |
|
|
127 | |
|
|
128 | 4.50 Thu Apr 10 09:43:17 CEST 2008 |
|
|
129 | - I did it twice! (see 4.49). |
|
|
130 | |
|
|
131 | 4.49 Sun Apr 6 21:23:31 CEST 2008 |
|
|
132 | - grr, instead of compiling the recent changes on 5.10 only they |
|
|
133 | were compiled on 5.8 only. |
|
|
134 | |
|
|
135 | 4.48 Sun Apr 6 20:36:46 CEST 2008 |
|
|
136 | - allow coroutine switches during eval's under 5.10.x, as it seems |
|
|
137 | the parser is a per-interpreter option now, so this is safe |
|
|
138 | (this might fix the odd crashing bug). |
|
|
139 | - drop support for 5.9.x versions: they are dead, jim. |
|
|
140 | |
|
|
141 | 4.47 Sun Apr 6 00:37:52 CEST 2008 |
|
|
142 | - force cctx allocation on API calls: we know we need to force one |
|
|
143 | and gcc actually manages to confuse our heuristic nowadays, |
|
|
144 | leading to crashes and worse. |
|
|
145 | - document force_cctx. |
|
|
146 | |
|
|
147 | 4.46 Fri Apr 4 22:05:43 CEST 2008 |
|
|
148 | - upgrade libcoro, resulting in pthread-backend (which was only created |
|
|
149 | to fulfill the rules of the programming languages shootout). |
|
|
150 | |
|
|
151 | 4.45 Thu Mar 13 11:55:36 CET 2008 |
| 8 | - fix a file leaking bug in eg/mhyttpd that would allow |
152 | - fix a file leaking bug in eg/mhyttpd that would allow |
| 9 | downloading of any file (reported by oesi). |
153 | downloading of any file (reported by oesi). |
|
|
154 | - fix deadlock bug in Coro::Channel (reported by Richard Hundt) |
|
|
155 | (also add testcase). |
| 10 | - support Broadcast option in Coro::Socket (patch by Richard Hundt, |
156 | - support Broadcast option in Coro::Socket (patch by Richard Hundt, |
| 11 | apparently having loads of fun with that). |
157 | apparently having loads of fun with that). |
| 12 | - implement $state->swap_defsv, ->swap_defav and document ->throw. |
158 | - implement $state->swap_defsv, ->swap_defav and document ->throw. |
