30.13 31.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
4 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
5 mark & sweep gc run.
6 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
7
81.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
9 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
10 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
11
121.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
13 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
14 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
15 wrong package.
16 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
17 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
18 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
19 normally uses.
20 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
21
221.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
23 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
24
251.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
26 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
27 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
28 - strict'ify some modules.
29 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
30 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
31 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
32
331.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
34 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
35 when 'l'inux method was used.
36
371.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
38 - some portability fixes/workarounds.
39
401.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
41 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
42 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
43 Coro::State::flush method.
44 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
45
461.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
47 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
48 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
49 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
50 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
51 - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.
52
531.11 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
54 - change of contact address.
55
561.1 Tue Feb 22 20:51:16 CET 2005
57 - support [l]inux method on amd64.
58 - allow some context switches while compiling/eval'ing.
59
601.0 Tue Aug 10 03:47:27 CEST 2004
61 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
62 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
63 padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
64
650.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
66 - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
67
680.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
69 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
70 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
71 as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
72 Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
73 between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
74 fixable).
75 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
76
770.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
78 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
79 faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
80 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
81 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
82 observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
83 of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
84 pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
85 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
86 - fix for threaded perl.
87
880.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
89 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
90 memory leaks.
91 - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
92 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
93 hopefully ignoring it "just works".
94
950.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
96 - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
97 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
98
990.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
100 - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
101 of new features.
102 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
103 Highly correct stuff, that is...
104 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
105 the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.
106
1070.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
108 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
109 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
110 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
111 so preselect it.
112
1130.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
114 - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost
115 on reading, reported by jason@nichego.net.
116
1170.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
118 - added a README.linux-glibc.
119 - new module Coro::Select.
120 - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
121 (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
122 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
123
1240.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
125 - made lazy context switching the default.
126 - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
127 was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
128 - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
129 - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
130
1310.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
132 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
133 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
134 - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
135 ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
136 - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
137 of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
138
1390.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
140 - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
141 - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
142 could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
143
1440.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
145 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
146 (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
147 without Event, which freezes).
148
1490.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
150 - Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.
151
1520.53 Tue Nov 27 21:11:13 CET 2001
153 - some tests for Event.
154 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
155 and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
156 new ones.
157 - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
158 - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.
159
1600.52 Tue Nov 6 21:36:18 CET 2001
161 - ported to cygwin (trivial).
162 patch by Gerrit P. Haase <gp@familiehaase.de>.
163 - small setjmp code fix by Sullivan.DanielJ@epamail.epa.gov.
164
1650.51 Thu Nov 1 20:39:01 CET 2001
166 - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
167 could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
168 error.
169 - added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
170 - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.
171 - implemented terminate with args + join.
172
1730.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001
174 - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.
175 - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
176 in various modules.
177 - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
178 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.
179
1800.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
181 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
182 inside Coro::Handle.
183 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
184 speed reasons.
185 - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
186 sjlj and ucontext should now work.
187 - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
188 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
189 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.
190 - fixed a bug that caused segfault when returning to main task
191 under some circumstances.
192 - other bugfixes.
193
1940.45 Sun Sep 2 02:54:01 CEST 2001
195 - new method Coro::Handle::timeout.
196 - corrected speling of set...name to get...name in Coro::Socket.
197 - Coro::Socket::accept now returns a Coro::Socket, not a Coro::Handle.
198 - Coro::Handle now supports fileno and FILENO.
199 - added eg/myhttpd, a web server.
200 - Coro::Socket now accepts numeric ports as well as "port(number)"
201 syntax.
202 - moved some scheduling primitives into xs code. more to come.
203 - new simple priority system.
204 - implemented Coro::Event using XS, almost four times faster!
205 - small memory corruption problem fixed (boy that was difficult).
206
2070.13 Wed Aug 8 16:53:07 CEST 2001
4 - new method Coro::Handle::readline. 208 - new method Coro::Handle::readline.
5 - added eg/lwp and Coro::Handle::autoflush, to make lwp work. 209 - added eg/lwp and Coro::Handle::autoflush, to make LWP work.
210 (see eg/lwp on how to make LWP non-blocking).
6 - renamed Coro::Socket::new_inet to new. 211 - renamed Coro::Socket::new_inet to new.
7 - added Coro::Util, some utility functions. 212 - added Coro::Util, some utility functions.
8 - die/eval now works better (still get annoying (but true ;) 213 - die/eval now works better (still get annoying (but true ;)
9 "Callback called exit" messages). 214 "Callback called exit" messages).
215 - Coro::Handle now supports timeout, and Coro::Socket Timeout.

110.12 Fri Jul 27 04:19:01 CEST 2001 2180.12 Fri Jul 27 04:19:01 CEST 2001
12 - do not use mmap if neither MAP_ANON nor MAP_ANONYMOUS is defined. 219 - do not use mmap if neither MAP_ANON nor MAP_ANONYMOUS is defined.
13 - very experimental stack sharing algorithm. not 100% safe ut 220 - very experimental stack sharing algorithm. not 100% safe but
14 should work well in practise ;) 221 should work well in practise ;)
15 - added Coro::RWLock. 222 - added Coro::RWLock.
16 - Coro::Specific now works. 223 - Coro::Specific now works.
