8 - take advantage of async name resolution of AnyEvent::Util.
9 - work around brutal inet_aton override in Coro::LWP.
10
114.7 Sun May 11 00:32:19 CEST 2008
12 - completely reworked the Coro manpage.
13 - added Coro::AnyEvent, generic event loop integration.
14 - implement cancel, ready and kill commands in Coro::Debug.
15 - document find_coro in Coro::Debug.
16 - incompatible change: rename has_stack to has_cctx.
17 - Coro::AIO and Coro::BDB no longer force event model detection,
18 use AnyEvent::AIO and AnyEvent::BDB.
19
204.6 Sat Apr 26 10:05:14 CEST 2008
21 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: sub/code attributes are no longer supported
22 by the Coro module. It was a mistake to have it in the first place.
23 - (experimental) support for activestate perl 5.10 (method "w").
24 - (experimental) support for strawberry perl (method "a").
25 - coro_sigelem_set did not return a value although it had to,
26 actual impact unknown.
27
284.51 Mon Apr 14 13:28:27 CEST 2008
29 - make it compile again on 5.8.
30
314.50 Thu Apr 10 09:43:17 CEST 2008
32 - I did it twice! (see 4.49).
33
344.49 Sun Apr 6 21:23:31 CEST 2008
35 - grr, instead of compiling the recent changes on 5.10 only they
36 were compiled on 5.8 only.
37
384.48 Sun Apr 6 20:36:46 CEST 2008
39 - allow coroutine switches during eval's under 5.10.x, as it seems
40 the parser is a per-interpreter option now, so this is safe
41 (this might fix the odd crashing bug).
42 - drop support for 5.9.x versions: they are dead, jim.
43
444.47 Sun Apr 6 00:37:52 CEST 2008
45 - force cctx allocation on API calls: we know we need to force one
46 and gcc actually manages to confuse our heuristic nowadays,
47 leading to crashes and worse.
48 - document force_cctx.
49
504.46 Fri Apr 4 22:05:43 CEST 2008
51 - upgrade libcoro, resulting in pthread-backend (which was only created
52 to fulfill the rules of the programming languages shootout).
53
544.45 Thu Mar 13 11:55:36 CET 2008
55 - fix a file leaking bug in eg/mhyttpd that would allow
56 downloading of any file (reported by oesi).
57 - fix deadlock bug in Coro::Channel (reported by Richard Hundt)
58 (also add testcase).
59 - support Broadcast option in Coro::Socket (patch by Richard Hundt,
60 apparently having loads of fun with that).
61 - implement $state->swap_defsv, ->swap_defav and document ->throw.
62
634.4 Wed Feb 13 16:44:29 CET 2008
64 - only assume .cfi pseudo isns exist on GNU/Linux.
65 - add get_timed method to Coro::Channels.
66 - fixed Coro::Debug manpage.
67 - perl 5.11 compatbility improvement based on patch by
68 Andreas König.
69
704.37 Sun Jan 20 11:25:23 CET 2008
71 - soften the check for an active parser for perl 5.10 (avoiding
72 "Coro::State::transfer called while parsing" in many cases).
73
744.36 Sun Jan 13 10:53:56 CET 2008
75 - reset diehook when terminating from an async_pool as to not
76 trigger any __DIE__ handlers.
77
784.35 Sun Jan 13 04:14:13 CET 2008
79 - "bt" debug command now displays any exceptions
80 from longmess and also skips the innermost
81 stackframes, giving more useufl output.
82 - allow backtraces in coroutines blocked in Coro::EV,
83 at a <1% speed hit.
84 - handle localising of $SIG{__WARN__} and __DIE__
85 properly (with a proper amount of dirty hacking).
86
874.34 Sat Dec 22 17:49:53 CET 2007
88 - upgrade to EV version 2.0 API.
89
904.33 Mon Dec 17 08:36:12 CET 2007
91 - make Coro::AIO etc. loadable in the absence of EV.
92
934.32 Mon Dec 17 07:46:02 CET 2007
94 - majorly improved Coro::Handle's performance with Coro::EV.
95 - implemented the until now mythical Coro::BDB module.
96 - specialcase EV in Coro::AIO and Coro::BDB for extra speed.
97
984.31 Wed Dec 5 12:32:39 CET 2007
99 - remove warn statement form Coro::Util.
100
1014.3 Tue Dec 4 20:33:14 CET 2007
102 - calls to the idle function could cause stack corruption
103 when the stack changed.
104 - do no longer rely on the presence of EV::DNS if EV is used
105 (because it is gone), but instead take avdantage of EV::ADNS
106 if available.
107 - add ($) prototypes to all functions in Coro::Storable.
108 - use a conventional (safer) idle callback in Coro::EV.
109 - do accept quickly in Coro::Debug to avoid endless loops.
110
1114.22 Fri Nov 30 16:04:04 CET 2007
112 - really use optimised versions for Event and EV in Coro::Util
113 and Coro::Handle.
114
1154.21 Sun Nov 25 10:48:59 CET 2007
116 - fix a spurious memory read.
117 - Coro::EV no longer keeps the eventloop "alive".
118
1194.2 Fri Nov 9 20:47:05 CET 2007
120 - enable/disable tracing from a new coroutine, not a pooled one.
121 - fix a memleak in Coro::Event.
122 - removed killall call from fork_eval.
123 - made sure store_fd is already loaded so that fork_eval
124 does not have to parse autoload in each subprocess.
125 - only use assembly method if -O switch is in $Config{optimize}.
126 - add (optional) Coro::EV module, so far the best event loop module
127 directly supported by Coro.
128 - if the event model is EV, use EV::DNS to resolve
129 stuff in Coro::Util.
130 - don't get confused by multiple event notifications in Coro::Handle.
131 - initial support for EV (libevent interface).
132 - require Event and EV using configure_requires, to force their existance.
133
1344.13 Wed Oct 24 07:26:45 CEST 2007
135 - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw.
136 - use a vastly more complicated technique to localise
137 $SIG{__WARN/DIE__} that also works on perls <= 5.8.8.
138 - use a coroutine for the idle callback Coro::Event,
139 instead of running Event in the current coroutine context.
140 This also catches recursive invocations.
141 - actually report fork errors in gethostbyname and inet_aton.

84.11 Thu Oct 11 02:40:24 CEST 2007 1434.11 Thu Oct 11 02:40:24 CEST 2007
