Revision 1.343 by root, Fri May 9 22:29:05 2008 UTC

1Revision history for Perl extension Coro. 1Revision history for Perl extension Coro.
2 2
30.13 3TODO: should explore PerlIO::via::CoroCede and PerlIO::via::CoroAIO.
4TODO: maybe implement a default message channel, very much like Erlang's
5 actor model (which is cool in a lot of important aspects (failures!),
6 but very lacking in others (higher level ipc)).
7
8 TODO: Coro::AnyEvent
9 - completely reworked the Coro manpage.
10 - added Coro::AnyEvent, generic event loop integration.
11 - implement cancel, ready and kill commands in Coro::Debug.
12 - document find_coro in Coro::Debug.
13 - incompatible change: rename has_stack to has_cctx.
14
154.6 Sat Apr 26 10:05:14 CEST 2008
16 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: sub/code attributes are no longer supported
17 by the Coro module. It was a mistake to have it in the first place.
18 - (experimental) support for activestate perl 5.10 (method "w").
19 - (experimental) support for strawberry perl (method "a").
20 - coro_sigelem_set did not return a value although it had to,
21 actual impact unknown.
22
234.51 Mon Apr 14 13:28:27 CEST 2008
24 - make it compile again on 5.8.
25
264.50 Thu Apr 10 09:43:17 CEST 2008
27 - I did it twice! (see 4.49).
28
294.49 Sun Apr 6 21:23:31 CEST 2008
30 - grr, instead of compiling the recent changes on 5.10 only they
31 were compiled on 5.8 only.
32
334.48 Sun Apr 6 20:36:46 CEST 2008
34 - allow coroutine switches during eval's under 5.10.x, as it seems
35 the parser is a per-interpreter option now, so this is safe
36 (this might fix the odd crashing bug).
37 - drop support for 5.9.x versions: they are dead, jim.
38
394.47 Sun Apr 6 00:37:52 CEST 2008
40 - force cctx allocation on API calls: we know we need to force one
41 and gcc actually manages to confuse our heuristic nowadays,
42 leading to crashes and worse.
43 - document force_cctx.
44
454.46 Fri Apr 4 22:05:43 CEST 2008
46 - upgrade libcoro, resulting in pthread-backend (which was only created
47 to fulfill the rules of the programming languages shootout).
48
494.45 Thu Mar 13 11:55:36 CET 2008
50 - fix a file leaking bug in eg/mhyttpd that would allow
51 downloading of any file (reported by oesi).
52 - fix deadlock bug in Coro::Channel (reported by Richard Hundt)
53 (also add testcase).
54 - support Broadcast option in Coro::Socket (patch by Richard Hundt,
55 apparently having loads of fun with that).
56 - implement $state->swap_defsv, ->swap_defav and document ->throw.
57
584.4 Wed Feb 13 16:44:29 CET 2008
59 - only assume .cfi pseudo isns exist on GNU/Linux.
60 - add get_timed method to Coro::Channels.
61 - fixed Coro::Debug manpage.
62 - perl 5.11 compatbility improvement based on patch by
63 Andreas König.
64
654.37 Sun Jan 20 11:25:23 CET 2008
66 - soften the check for an active parser for perl 5.10 (avoiding
67 "Coro::State::transfer called while parsing" in many cases).
68
694.36 Sun Jan 13 10:53:56 CET 2008
70 - reset diehook when terminating from an async_pool as to not
71 trigger any __DIE__ handlers.
72
734.35 Sun Jan 13 04:14:13 CET 2008
74 - "bt" debug command now displays any exceptions
75 from longmess and also skips the innermost
76 stackframes, giving more useufl output.
77 - allow backtraces in coroutines blocked in Coro::EV,
78 at a <1% speed hit.
79 - handle localising of $SIG{__WARN__} and __DIE__
80 properly (with a proper amount of dirty hacking).
81
824.34 Sat Dec 22 17:49:53 CET 2007
83 - upgrade to EV version 2.0 API.
84
854.33 Mon Dec 17 08:36:12 CET 2007
86 - make Coro::AIO etc. loadable in the absence of EV.
87
884.32 Mon Dec 17 07:46:02 CET 2007
89 - majorly improved Coro::Handle's performance with Coro::EV.
90 - implemented the until now mythical Coro::BDB module.
91 - specialcase EV in Coro::AIO and Coro::BDB for extra speed.
92
934.31 Wed Dec 5 12:32:39 CET 2007
94 - remove warn statement form Coro::Util.
95
964.3 Tue Dec 4 20:33:14 CET 2007
97 - calls to the idle function could cause stack corruption
98 when the stack changed.
99 - do no longer rely on the presence of EV::DNS if EV is used
100 (because it is gone), but instead take avdantage of EV::ADNS
101 if available.
102 - add ($) prototypes to all functions in Coro::Storable.
103 - use a conventional (safer) idle callback in Coro::EV.
104 - do accept quickly in Coro::Debug to avoid endless loops.
105
1064.22 Fri Nov 30 16:04:04 CET 2007
107 - really use optimised versions for Event and EV in Coro::Util
108 and Coro::Handle.
109
1104.21 Sun Nov 25 10:48:59 CET 2007
111 - fix a spurious memory read.
112 - Coro::EV no longer keeps the eventloop "alive".
113
1144.2 Fri Nov 9 20:47:05 CET 2007
115 - enable/disable tracing from a new coroutine, not a pooled one.
116 - fix a memleak in Coro::Event.
117 - removed killall call from fork_eval.
118 - made sure store_fd is already loaded so that fork_eval
119 does not have to parse autoload in each subprocess.
120 - only use assembly method if -O switch is in $Config{optimize}.
121 - add (optional) Coro::EV module, so far the best event loop module
122 directly supported by Coro.
123 - if the event model is EV, use EV::DNS to resolve
124 stuff in Coro::Util.
125 - don't get confused by multiple event notifications in Coro::Handle.
126 - initial support for EV (libevent interface).
127 - require Event and EV using configure_requires, to force their existance.
128
1294.13 Wed Oct 24 07:26:45 CEST 2007
130 - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw.
131 - use a vastly more complicated technique to localise
132 $SIG{__WARN/DIE__} that also works on perls <= 5.8.8.
133 - use a coroutine for the idle callback Coro::Event,
134 instead of running Event in the current coroutine context.
135 This also catches recursive invocations.
136 - actually report fork errors in gethostbyname and inet_aton.
137
1384.11 Thu Oct 11 02:40:24 CEST 2007
139 - port to threaded perls.
140
1414.1 Thu Oct 11 02:38:16 CEST 2007
142 - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now
143 be local to each coro (see Coro::State).
144 - incompatible change: for very deep reasons, cede and cede_notself
145 cannot return anything, so nothing will be returned.
146 - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested).
147 - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(.
148 - overlay the saved state over the context stack. This saves
149 a few hundred bytes per coroutine on average and also
150 speeds up context switching a bit.
151 - further tune default stack sizes.
152 - (more) correctly calculate stack usage in coro_rss.
153 - Coro::Storable::blocking_* did not properly lock
154 resulting in races between coroutines.
155 - added Coro::Storable::guard.
156 - stopping to trace a coroutine could destroy the cctx of
157 an unrelated coroutine.
158 - explain the relationship between Perl and C coroutines in
159 more detail in Coro::State.
160 - Coro::Util::inet_aton did not short-circuit dotted quad forms,
161 causing a fork per resolve. This also affected Coro::Socket.
162 - switch to a separate stack in $coro->call/eval to avoid
163 invalidating pointers.
164
1654.03 Sat Oct 6 21:24:00 CEST 2007
166 - added Coro::throw method.
167 - minor code cleanups.
168
1694.02 Sat Oct 6 02:36:47 CEST 2007
170 - fix a very minor per-coroutine memleak (a single codereference).
171 - fixed a bug where the currently in-use c context would be freed
172 prematurely (can happen only when programs change the stacksize
173 or use tracing).
174 - tracing can no longer keep a coro alive after it terminated.
175 - do static branch prediction in the common path for gcc. gives
176 about 2-5% speed improvement here.
177
1784.01 Fri Oct 5 22:10:49 CEST 2007
179 - instead of recreating *a* standard output handle we simply
180 use STDOUT, which is faster and hopefully more robust.
181
1824.0 Fri Oct 5 12:56:00 CEST 2007
183 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze.
184 - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine
185 debugging, tracing and much more.
186 - major bug fix: unbelievable, but true: $_, $/ and many other
187 "saved" variables actually weren't being saved. This has been fixed,
188 of course, while increasing performance while losing all the save
189 flags.
190 - save flags are gone, and all the api functions dealing with them.
191 - added Coro::Semaphore::adjust.
192 - added Coro::Util::fork_eval.
193 - added Coro::Storable::{nfreeze,blocking_{freeze,nfreeze}}.
194 - added Coro::killall.
195 - reduce initial stack sizes to allow for "micro-coroutines".
196 - better async_pool resource management, moved parts of async_pool
197 handling to XS (major speed improvement).
198 - actually croak before modifying important data structures.
199 - refuse to transfer while compiling.
200 - possibly support eval EXPR better now.
201 - enable assembly per default on linux+bsd x86+amd64.
202 - all internal members were renamed _something for easier subclassing.
203 - many minor tweaks.
204
2053.63 Wed May 16 14:10:06 CEST 2007
206 - implement handcoded assembly for x86/amd64 SVR ABI.
207
2083.62 Fri Apr 27 21:36:06 CEST 2007
209 - upgrade libcoro (which might set unwind info correctly).
210 - change default on linux to setjmp/longjmp.
211
2123.61 Thu Apr 19 12:36:18 CEST 2007
213 - Coro::Storable caused an endless loop when thawing invalid
214 pst's sometimes.
215 - use a Semaphore in Coro::Storable, as Storable doesn't
216 seem to be reentrant (although it is documented to
217 be threadsafe...).
218 - fix Coro::Signal to bring back the original unreliable
219 but stateful semantics.
220 - fixed a lot of typos in Coro.pm (patch submitted by David
221 Steinbrunner, which applied flawlessly).
222
2233.6 Sat Apr 14 17:13:31 CEST 2007
224 - added some bugfixes to get eg/myhttpd working again.
225 - added Coro::Storable for often-cede'ing freeze/thaw.
226 - try to do a clean exit when a coroutine calls exit
227 (EXPERIMENTAL).
228 - got rid of indirect call through _coro_init.
229 - updated the partly antique examples in eg/ to
230 work again and be a bit less magic, too.
231 - fixed Coro::Signal semantics to work as documented again.
232
2333.55 Sun Mar 25 01:20:47 CET 2007
234 - add SAVE_DEFFH to save the default filehandle and enable
235 it by default.
236 - finally move socket-operations from Coro::Socket to Coro::Handle
237 to be able to unblock foreign sockets.
238 - add Coro::State::save_also and guarded_save.
239 - add count accessor to Coro::Semaphore.
240 - add Coro::State::cctx_stacksize.
241 - just for the fun of it, do not rely on implicit context,
242 which can dramatically improve performance, but people
243 using windows-process-emulation perls do not care much about
244 performance.
245
2463.51 Sun Mar 4 14:18:04 CET 2007
247 - fixed a problem when you weakened references to Coro::State's
248 (patch by Yuval Kogman).
249
2503.501 Wed Feb 28 12:44:07 CET 2007
251 - rename some global symbols as macosx from hell redefines
252 them without asking.
253
2543.5 Tue Feb 13 20:22:53 CET 2007
255 - do AnyEvent model detection earlier, avoiding problems
256 caused by first using AnyEvent and later Coro::Event.
257 - implement and document Coro::Event event objects.
258 - fix a potential problem in Coro::Event causing crashes.
259 - initialise PL_comppad when creating a new coroutine,
260 avoids crashes on early coro destruction.
261
2623.41 Mon Jan 22 19:19:49 CET 2007
263 - readline on Coro::Handle did not support undefined $/,
264 nor did it deliver partial lines on EOF or error.
265 - implement malloc fallback for stack allocation because
266 stupid broken idiotic OSX has a stupid broken
267 idiotic fits-the-whole-os mmap "implementation" and
268 my dick feels longer if Coro is portable even to
269 obsolete platforms.
270
2713.4 Fri Jan 19 21:52:54 CET 2007
272 - remove t/09_timer.t, as it isn't really testing much
273 but was rather flaky in practise.
274 - async_pool coro would keep arguments and callback alive until
275 it was reused.
276 - cancellation of a coroutine could cause spurious idle calls
277 in cede_notself.
278
2793.3 Sat Jan 6 03:45:00 CET 2007
280 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
281 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
282 documented and - hopefully - improved.
283 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
284 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
285 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
286 that could errronously trigger.
287 - fix various large and small memleaks.
288 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
289 that immediately frees the coroutine data.
290 - cede/cede_notself return a status now.
291 - added Coro::guard function.
292 - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine,
293 I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async,
294 and 128k coros with async_pool).
295 - Coro::AIO now uses the coroutine priority as io priority.
296
2973.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
298 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
299 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
300 - simplify configuration for users.
301 - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
302 their coro replacements.
303
3043.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006
305 - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even
306 without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should
307 notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :)
308 - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have
309 it. Also noticed by Andreas König :)
310 - save/restore tainted status.
311 - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5.
312
3133.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
314 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
315 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
316 - give a better error message on deadlock.
317 - document Coro::nready.
318 - enhanced testsuite.
319
3203.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006
321 - forgot to include Coro::Timer.
322
3233.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
324 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
325 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
326 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
327 pool (size currently hardcoded).
328 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
329 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
330 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
331 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
332 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
333 check for changed watchers.
334 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
335 per event.
336 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
337 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
338 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
339 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
340 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
341 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
342 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
343 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
344 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
345 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
346 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
347 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
348 - updated to newest libcoro.
349 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
350 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
351 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
352 and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
353 if somebody asks for it :)
354 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
355 spuriously without the event having happened.
356
3572.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
358 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
359 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
360 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
361 make LWP non-blocking.
362 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
363 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
364 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
365 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
366 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
367 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
368 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
369 by LWP(!!).
370 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
371 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
372 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
373 did already.
374
3752.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
376 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
377 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
378 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
379 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
380 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
381 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
382 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
383 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
384
3852.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
386 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
387
3881.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
389
3901.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
391 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
392 mark & sweep gc run.
393 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
394
3951.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
396 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
397 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
398
3991.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
400 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
401 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
402 wrong package.
403 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
404 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
405 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
406 normally uses.
407 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
408
4091.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
410 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
411
4121.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
413 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
414 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
415 - strict'ify some modules.
416 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
417 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
418 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
419
4201.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
421 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
422 when 'l'inux method was used.
423
4241.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
425 - some portability fixes/workarounds.
426
4271.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
428 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
429 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
430 Coro::State::flush method.
431 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
432
4331.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
434 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
435 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
436 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
437 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
438 - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.
439
4401.11 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
441 - change of contact address.
442
4431.1 Tue Feb 22 20:51:16 CET 2005
444 - support [l]inux method on amd64.
445 - allow some context switches while compiling/eval'ing.
446
4471.0 Tue Aug 10 03:47:27 CEST 2004
448 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
449 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
450 padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
451
4520.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
453 - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
454
4550.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
456 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
457 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
458 as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
459 Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
460 between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
461 fixable).
462 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
463
4640.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
465 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
466 faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
467 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
468 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
469 observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
470 of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
471 pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
472 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
473 - fix for threaded perl.
474
4750.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
476 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
477 memory leaks.
478 - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
479 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
480 hopefully ignoring it "just works".
481
4820.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
483 - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
484 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
485
4860.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
487 - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
488 of new features.
489 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
490 Highly correct stuff, that is...
491 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
492 the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.
493
4940.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
495 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
496 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
497 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
498 so preselect it.
499
5000.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
501 - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost
502 on reading, reported by jason@nichego.net.
503
5040.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
505 - added a README.linux-glibc.
506 - new module Coro::Select.
507 - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
508 (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
509 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
510
5110.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
512 - made lazy context switching the default.
513 - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
514 was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
515 - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
516 - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
517
5180.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
519 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
520 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
521 - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
522 ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
523 - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
524 of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
525
5260.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
527 - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
528 - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
529 could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
530
5310.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
532 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
533 (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
534 without Event, which freezes).
535
5360.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
537 - Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.
538
5390.53 Tue Nov 27 21:11:13 CET 2001
540 - some tests for Event.
541 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
542 and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
543 new ones.
544 - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
545 - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.
546
5470.52 Tue Nov 6 21:36:18 CET 2001
548 - ported to cygwin (trivial).
549 patch by Gerrit P. Haase <gp@familiehaase.de>.
550 - small setjmp code fix by Sullivan.DanielJ@epamail.epa.gov.
551
5520.51 Thu Nov 1 20:39:01 CET 2001
553 - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
554 could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
555 error.
556 - added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
557 - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.
558 - implemented terminate with args + join.
559
5600.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001
561 - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.
562 - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
563 in various modules.
564 - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
565 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.
566
5670.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
568 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
569 inside Coro::Handle.
570 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
571 speed reasons.
572 - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
573 sjlj and ucontext should now work.
574 - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
575 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
576 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.
577 - fixed a bug that caused segfault when returning to main task
578 under some circumstances.
579 - other bugfixes.
580
5810.45 Sun Sep 2 02:54:01 CEST 2001
582 - new method Coro::Handle::timeout.
583 - corrected speling of set...name to get...name in Coro::Socket.
584 - Coro::Socket::accept now returns a Coro::Socket, not a Coro::Handle.
585 - Coro::Handle now supports fileno and FILENO.
586 - added eg/myhttpd, a web server.
587 - Coro::Socket now accepts numeric ports as well as "port(number)"
588 syntax.
589 - moved some scheduling primitives into xs code. more to come.
590 - new simple priority system.
591 - implemented Coro::Event using XS, almost four times faster!
592 - small memory corruption problem fixed (boy that was difficult).

6 (see eg/lwp on how to make LWP non-blocking). 597 (see eg/lwp on how to make LWP non-blocking).
7 - renamed Coro::Socket::new_inet to new. 598 - renamed Coro::Socket::new_inet to new.
