| 9 | |
7 | |
| 10 | 3.7 |
8 | - fix a bug in Coro::AnyEvent ("Usage: Coro::AnyEvent::_schedule()"). |
| 11 | - added Coro::Debug, interactive coroutine debugging. |
9 | - take advantage of async name resolution of AnyEvent::Util. |
|
|
10 | - work around brutal inet_aton override in Coro::LWP. |
|
|
11 | - take advantage of the readyhook in Coro::EV, for smoother |
|
|
12 | scheduling. |
|
|
13 | |
|
|
14 | 4.7 Sun May 11 00:32:19 CEST 2008 |
|
|
15 | - completely reworked the Coro manpage. |
|
|
16 | - added Coro::AnyEvent, generic event loop integration. |
|
|
17 | - implement cancel, ready and kill commands in Coro::Debug. |
|
|
18 | - document find_coro in Coro::Debug. |
|
|
19 | - incompatible change: rename has_stack to has_cctx. |
|
|
20 | - Coro::AIO and Coro::BDB no longer force event model detection, |
|
|
21 | use AnyEvent::AIO and AnyEvent::BDB. |
|
|
22 | |
|
|
23 | 4.6 Sat Apr 26 10:05:14 CEST 2008 |
|
|
24 | - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: sub/code attributes are no longer supported |
|
|
25 | by the Coro module. It was a mistake to have it in the first place. |
|
|
26 | - (experimental) support for activestate perl 5.10 (method "w"). |
|
|
27 | - (experimental) support for strawberry perl (method "a"). |
|
|
28 | - coro_sigelem_set did not return a value although it had to, |
|
|
29 | actual impact unknown. |
|
|
30 | |
|
|
31 | 4.51 Mon Apr 14 13:28:27 CEST 2008 |
|
|
32 | - make it compile again on 5.8. |
|
|
33 | |
|
|
34 | 4.50 Thu Apr 10 09:43:17 CEST 2008 |
|
|
35 | - I did it twice! (see 4.49). |
|
|
36 | |
|
|
37 | 4.49 Sun Apr 6 21:23:31 CEST 2008 |
|
|
38 | - grr, instead of compiling the recent changes on 5.10 only they |
|
|
39 | were compiled on 5.8 only. |
|
|
40 | |
|
|
41 | 4.48 Sun Apr 6 20:36:46 CEST 2008 |
|
|
42 | - allow coroutine switches during eval's under 5.10.x, as it seems |
|
|
43 | the parser is a per-interpreter option now, so this is safe |
|
|
44 | (this might fix the odd crashing bug). |
|
|
45 | - drop support for 5.9.x versions: they are dead, jim. |
|
|
46 | |
|
|
47 | 4.47 Sun Apr 6 00:37:52 CEST 2008 |
|
|
48 | - force cctx allocation on API calls: we know we need to force one |
|
|
49 | and gcc actually manages to confuse our heuristic nowadays, |
|
|
50 | leading to crashes and worse. |
|
|
51 | - document force_cctx. |
|
|
52 | |
|
|
53 | 4.46 Fri Apr 4 22:05:43 CEST 2008 |
|
|
54 | - upgrade libcoro, resulting in pthread-backend (which was only created |
|
|
55 | to fulfill the rules of the programming languages shootout). |
|
|
56 | |
|
|
57 | 4.45 Thu Mar 13 11:55:36 CET 2008 |
|
|
58 | - fix a file leaking bug in eg/mhyttpd that would allow |
|
|
59 | downloading of any file (reported by oesi). |
|
|
60 | - fix deadlock bug in Coro::Channel (reported by Richard Hundt) |
|
|
61 | (also add testcase). |
|
|
62 | - support Broadcast option in Coro::Socket (patch by Richard Hundt, |
|
|
63 | apparently having loads of fun with that). |
|
|
64 | - implement $state->swap_defsv, ->swap_defav and document ->throw. |
|
|
65 | |
|
|
66 | 4.4 Wed Feb 13 16:44:29 CET 2008 |
|
|
67 | - only assume .cfi pseudo isns exist on GNU/Linux. |
|
|
68 | - add get_timed method to Coro::Channels. |
|
|
69 | - fixed Coro::Debug manpage. |
|
|
70 | - perl 5.11 compatbility improvement based on patch by |
|
|
71 | Andreas König. |
|
|
72 | |
|
|
73 | 4.37 Sun Jan 20 11:25:23 CET 2008 |
|
|
74 | - soften the check for an active parser for perl 5.10 (avoiding |
|
|
75 | "Coro::State::transfer called while parsing" in many cases). |
|
|
76 | |
|
|
77 | 4.36 Sun Jan 13 10:53:56 CET 2008 |
|
|
78 | - reset diehook when terminating from an async_pool as to not |
|
|
79 | trigger any __DIE__ handlers. |
|
|
80 | |
|
|
81 | 4.35 Sun Jan 13 04:14:13 CET 2008 |
|
|
82 | - "bt" debug command now displays any exceptions |
|
|
83 | from longmess and also skips the innermost |
|
|
84 | stackframes, giving more useufl output. |
|
|
85 | - allow backtraces in coroutines blocked in Coro::EV, |
|
|
86 | at a <1% speed hit. |
|
|
87 | - handle localising of $SIG{__WARN__} and __DIE__ |
|
|
88 | properly (with a proper amount of dirty hacking). |
|
|
89 | |
|
|
90 | 4.34 Sat Dec 22 17:49:53 CET 2007 |
|
|
91 | - upgrade to EV version 2.0 API. |
|
|
92 | |
|
|
93 | 4.33 Mon Dec 17 08:36:12 CET 2007 |
|
|
94 | - make Coro::AIO etc. loadable in the absence of EV. |
|
|
95 | |
|
|
96 | 4.32 Mon Dec 17 07:46:02 CET 2007 |
|
|
97 | - majorly improved Coro::Handle's performance with Coro::EV. |
|
|
98 | - implemented the until now mythical Coro::BDB module. |
|
|
99 | - specialcase EV in Coro::AIO and Coro::BDB for extra speed. |
|
|
100 | |
|
|
101 | 4.31 Wed Dec 5 12:32:39 CET 2007 |
|
|
102 | - remove warn statement form Coro::Util. |
|
|
103 | |
|
|
104 | 4.3 Tue Dec 4 20:33:14 CET 2007 |
|
|
105 | - calls to the idle function could cause stack corruption |
|
|
106 | when the stack changed. |
|
|
107 | - do no longer rely on the presence of EV::DNS if EV is used |
|
|
108 | (because it is gone), but instead take avdantage of EV::ADNS |
|
|
109 | if available. |
|
|
110 | - add ($) prototypes to all functions in Coro::Storable. |
|
|
111 | - use a conventional (safer) idle callback in Coro::EV. |
|
|
112 | - do accept quickly in Coro::Debug to avoid endless loops. |
|
|
113 | |
|
|
114 | 4.22 Fri Nov 30 16:04:04 CET 2007 |
|
|
115 | - really use optimised versions for Event and EV in Coro::Util |
|
|
116 | and Coro::Handle. |
|
|
117 | |
|
|
118 | 4.21 Sun Nov 25 10:48:59 CET 2007 |
|
|
119 | - fix a spurious memory read. |
|
|
120 | - Coro::EV no longer keeps the eventloop "alive". |
|
|
121 | |
|
|
122 | 4.2 Fri Nov 9 20:47:05 CET 2007 |
|
|
123 | - enable/disable tracing from a new coroutine, not a pooled one. |
|
|
124 | - fix a memleak in Coro::Event. |
|
|
125 | - removed killall call from fork_eval. |
|
|
126 | - made sure store_fd is already loaded so that fork_eval |
|
|
127 | does not have to parse autoload in each subprocess. |
|
|
128 | - only use assembly method if -O switch is in $Config{optimize}. |
|
|
129 | - add (optional) Coro::EV module, so far the best event loop module |
|
|
130 | directly supported by Coro. |
|
|
131 | - if the event model is EV, use EV::DNS to resolve |
|
|
132 | stuff in Coro::Util. |
|
|
133 | - don't get confused by multiple event notifications in Coro::Handle. |
|
|
134 | - initial support for EV (libevent interface). |
|
|
135 | - require Event and EV using configure_requires, to force their existance. |
|
|
136 | |
|
|
137 | 4.13 Wed Oct 24 07:26:45 CEST 2007 |
|
|
138 | - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw. |
|
|
139 | - use a vastly more complicated technique to localise |
|
|
140 | $SIG{__WARN/DIE__} that also works on perls <= 5.8.8. |
|
|
141 | - use a coroutine for the idle callback Coro::Event, |
|
|
142 | instead of running Event in the current coroutine context. |
|
|
143 | This also catches recursive invocations. |
|
|
144 | - actually report fork errors in gethostbyname and inet_aton. |
|
|
145 | |
|
|
146 | 4.11 Thu Oct 11 02:40:24 CEST 2007 |
|
|
147 | - port to threaded perls. |
|
|
148 | |
|
|
149 | 4.1 Thu Oct 11 02:38:16 CEST 2007 |
|
|
150 | - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now |
|
|
151 | be local to each coro (see Coro::State). |
|
|
152 | - incompatible change: for very deep reasons, cede and cede_notself |
|
|
153 | cannot return anything, so nothing will be returned. |
|
|
154 | - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested). |
|
|
155 | - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(. |
|
|
156 | - overlay the saved state over the context stack. This saves |
|
|
157 | a few hundred bytes per coroutine on average and also |
|
|
158 | speeds up context switching a bit. |
|
|
159 | - further tune default stack sizes. |
|
|
160 | - (more) correctly calculate stack usage in coro_rss. |
|
|
161 | - Coro::Storable::blocking_* did not properly lock |
|
|
162 | resulting in races between coroutines. |
|
|
163 | - added Coro::Storable::guard. |
|
|
164 | - stopping to trace a coroutine could destroy the cctx of |
|
|
165 | an unrelated coroutine. |
|
|
166 | - explain the relationship between Perl and C coroutines in |
|
|
167 | more detail in Coro::State. |
|
|
168 | - Coro::Util::inet_aton did not short-circuit dotted quad forms, |
|
|
169 | causing a fork per resolve. This also affected Coro::Socket. |
|
|
170 | - switch to a separate stack in $coro->call/eval to avoid |
|
|
171 | invalidating pointers. |
|
|
172 | |
|
|
173 | 4.03 Sat Oct 6 21:24:00 CEST 2007 |
|
|
174 | - added Coro::throw method. |
|
|
175 | - minor code cleanups. |
|
|
176 | |
|
|
177 | 4.02 Sat Oct 6 02:36:47 CEST 2007 |
|
|
178 | - fix a very minor per-coroutine memleak (a single codereference). |
|
|
179 | - fixed a bug where the currently in-use c context would be freed |
|
|
180 | prematurely (can happen only when programs change the stacksize |
|
|
181 | or use tracing). |
|
|
182 | - tracing can no longer keep a coro alive after it terminated. |
|
|
183 | - do static branch prediction in the common path for gcc. gives |
|
|
184 | about 2-5% speed improvement here. |
|
|
185 | |
|
|
186 | 4.01 Fri Oct 5 22:10:49 CEST 2007 |
|
|
187 | - instead of recreating *a* standard output handle we simply |
|
|
188 | use STDOUT, which is faster and hopefully more robust. |
|
|
189 | |
|
|
190 | 4.0 Fri Oct 5 12:56:00 CEST 2007 |
|
|
191 | - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze. |
|
|
192 | - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine |
|
|
193 | debugging, tracing and much more. |
|
|
194 | - major bug fix: unbelievable, but true: $_, $/ and many other |
|
|
195 | "saved" variables actually weren't being saved. This has been fixed, |
|
|
196 | of course, while increasing performance while losing all the save |
|
|
197 | flags. |
|
|
198 | - save flags are gone, and all the api functions dealing with them. |
| 12 | - added Coro::Semaphore::adjust. |
199 | - added Coro::Semaphore::adjust. |
| 13 | - added Coro::Util::fork_eval. |
200 | - added Coro::Util::fork_eval. |
| 14 | - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze. |
|
|
| 15 | - added Coro::Storable::{nfreeze,blocking_{freeze,nfreeze}}. |
201 | - added Coro::Storable::{nfreeze,blocking_{freeze,nfreeze}}. |
|
|
202 | - added Coro::killall. |
|
|
203 | - reduce initial stack sizes to allow for "micro-coroutines". |
|
|
204 | - better async_pool resource management, moved parts of async_pool |
|
|
205 | handling to XS (major speed improvement). |
|
|
206 | - actually croak before modifying important data structures. |
|
|
207 | - refuse to transfer while compiling. |
|
|
208 | - possibly support eval EXPR better now. |
|
|
209 | - enable assembly per default on linux+bsd x86+amd64. |
|
|
210 | - all internal members were renamed _something for easier subclassing. |
|
|
211 | - many minor tweaks. |
| 16 | |
212 | |
| 17 | 3.63 Wed May 16 14:10:06 CEST 2007 |
213 | 3.63 Wed May 16 14:10:06 CEST 2007 |
| 18 | - implement handcoded assembly for x86/amd64 SVR ABI. |
214 | - implement handcoded assembly for x86/amd64 SVR ABI. |

215 | |
| 20 | 3.62 Fri Apr 27 21:36:06 CEST 2007 |
216 | 3.62 Fri Apr 27 21:36:06 CEST 2007 |
