8 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: sub/code attributes are no longer supported
9 by the Coro module. It was a mistake.
10 - coro_sigelem_set did not return a value although it had to,
11 actual impact unknown.
12
134.51 Mon Apr 14 13:28:27 CEST 2008
14 - make it compile again on 5.8.
15
164.50 Thu Apr 10 09:43:17 CEST 2008
17 - I did it twice! (see 4.49).
18
194.49 Sun Apr 6 21:23:31 CEST 2008
20 - grr, instead of compiling the recent changes on 5.10 only they
21 were compiled on 5.8 only.
22
234.48 Sun Apr 6 20:36:46 CEST 2008
24 - allow coroutine switches during eval's under 5.10.x, as it seems
25 the parser is a per-interpreter option now, so this is safe
26 (this might fix the odd crashing bug).
27 - drop support for 5.9.x versions: they are dead, jim.
28
294.47 Sun Apr 6 00:37:52 CEST 2008
30 - force cctx allocation on API calls: we know we need to force one
31 and gcc actually manages to confuse our heuristic nowadays,
32 leading to crashes and worse.
33 - document force_cctx.
34
354.46 Fri Apr 4 22:05:43 CEST 2008
36 - upgrade libcoro, resulting in pthread-backend (which was only created
37 to fulfill the rules of the programming languages shootout).
38
394.45 Thu Mar 13 11:55:36 CET 2008
40 - fix a file leaking bug in eg/mhyttpd that would allow
41 downloading of any file (reported by oesi).
42 - fix deadlock bug in Coro::Channel (reported by Richard Hundt)
43 (also add testcase).
44 - support Broadcast option in Coro::Socket (patch by Richard Hundt,
45 apparently having loads of fun with that).
46 - implement $state->swap_defsv, ->swap_defav and document ->throw.
47
484.4 Wed Feb 13 16:44:29 CET 2008
49 - only assume .cfi pseudo isns exist on GNU/Linux.
50 - add get_timed method to Coro::Channels.
51 - fixed Coro::Debug manpage.
52 - perl 5.11 compatbility improvement based on patch by
53 Andreas König.
54
554.37 Sun Jan 20 11:25:23 CET 2008
56 - soften the check for an active parser for perl 5.10 (avoiding
57 "Coro::State::transfer called while parsing" in many cases).
58
594.36 Sun Jan 13 10:53:56 CET 2008
60 - reset diehook when terminating from an async_pool as to not
61 trigger any __DIE__ handlers.
62
634.35 Sun Jan 13 04:14:13 CET 2008
64 - "bt" debug command now displays any exceptions
65 from longmess and also skips the innermost
66 stackframes, giving more useufl output.
67 - allow backtraces in coroutines blocked in Coro::EV,
68 at a <1% speed hit.
69 - handle localising of $SIG{__WARN__} and __DIE__
70 properly (with a proper amount of dirty hacking).
71
724.34 Sat Dec 22 17:49:53 CET 2007
73 - upgrade to EV version 2.0 API.
74
754.33 Mon Dec 17 08:36:12 CET 2007
76 - make Coro::AIO etc. loadable in the absence of EV.
77
784.32 Mon Dec 17 07:46:02 CET 2007
79 - majorly improved Coro::Handle's performance with Coro::EV.
80 - implemented the until now mythical Coro::BDB module.
81 - specialcase EV in Coro::AIO and Coro::BDB for extra speed.
82
834.31 Wed Dec 5 12:32:39 CET 2007
84 - remove warn statement form Coro::Util.
85
864.3 Tue Dec 4 20:33:14 CET 2007
87 - calls to the idle function could cause stack corruption
88 when the stack changed.
89 - do no longer rely on the presence of EV::DNS if EV is used
90 (because it is gone), but instead take avdantage of EV::ADNS
91 if available.
92 - add ($) prototypes to all functions in Coro::Storable.
93 - use a conventional (safer) idle callback in Coro::EV.
94 - do accept quickly in Coro::Debug to avoid endless loops.
95
964.22 Fri Nov 30 16:04:04 CET 2007
97 - really use optimised versions for Event and EV in Coro::Util
98 and Coro::Handle.
99
1004.21 Sun Nov 25 10:48:59 CET 2007
101 - fix a spurious memory read.
102 - Coro::EV no longer keeps the eventloop "alive".
103
1044.2 Fri Nov 9 20:47:05 CET 2007
105 - enable/disable tracing from a new coroutine, not a pooled one.
106 - fix a memleak in Coro::Event.
107 - removed killall call from fork_eval.
108 - made sure store_fd is already loaded so that fork_eval
109 does not have to parse autoload in each subprocess.
110 - only use assembly method if -O switch is in $Config{optimize}.
111 - add (optional) Coro::EV module, so far the best event loop module
112 directly supported by Coro.
113 - if the event model is EV, use EV::DNS to resolve
114 stuff in Coro::Util.
115 - don't get confused by multiple event notifications in Coro::Handle.
116 - initial support for EV (libevent interface).
117 - require Event and EV using configure_requires, to force their existance.
118
1194.13 Wed Oct 24 07:26:45 CEST 2007
120 - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw.
121 - use a vastly more complicated technique to localise
122 $SIG{__WARN/DIE__} that also works on perls <= 5.8.8.
123 - use a coroutine for the idle callback Coro::Event,
124 instead of running Event in the current coroutine context.
125 This also catches recursive invocations.
126 - actually report fork errors in gethostbyname and inet_aton.

84.11 Thu Oct 11 02:40:24 CEST 2007 1284.11 Thu Oct 11 02:40:24 CEST 2007
9 - port to threaded perls. 129 - port to threaded perls.
