85.0
9 - (libcoro) did not preserve rbp with CORO_ASM (we are getting there).
10 - (libcoro) no longer leak threads in the experimental pthread backend,
11 also speed it up considerably.
12 - (libcoro) do not rely on makecontext passing void *'s unscathed.
13 - fix compiletime dependencies on libcoro in the Makefile.
14 - cctx_count wasn't always updated properly.
15 - Coro::State::cctx_stacksize wasn't applied correctly.
16 - new function Coro::State::cctx_max_idle.
17 - the default max number of idle C contexts is now 4.
18 - (libcoro) try harder to get _setjmp/_longjmp.
19 - (libcoro) cleanup and extend the libcoro API to officially
20 allow the creation of empty source contexts.
21 - very experimental workaround for the totally broken netbsd platform.
22
234.804 Wed Nov 5 16:36:00 CET 2008
24 - Coro::Debug::new_unix_server would not create a non-blocking listening
25 socket, sometimes causing freezes.
26 - (libcoro) fix misaligned stack points for setjmp and assembly
27 methods, which can cause crashes on x86/x86_64 with a sufficiently
28 aggressive compiler.
29 - new function: Coro::Debug::new_tcp_server.
30 - move ->throw into the Coro class because it only works on coro objects.
31
324.803 Mon Nov 3 17:16:12 CET 2008
33 - (libcoro) use a global asm statement to become independent of gcc
34 otpimisations for CORO_ASM (thanks to pippijn for the idea).
35 - try to workaround yet another broken bsd, this time dragonfly.
36
374.802 Thu Oct 30 10:56:12 CET 2008
38 - support -fno-omit-frame-pointer on x86 with the assembly method.
39 - tune 01_unblock.t tests a bit.
40
414.801 Wed Oct 22 18:33:37 CEST 2008
42 - improve readline speed for very long "lines".
43 - backport to 5.8.8.
44
454.8 Thu Oct 2 13:34:40 CEST 2008
46 - new function Coro::AIO::aio_wait.
47 - Coro.:AIO and Coro::BDB now "use Coro::AnyEvent".
48 - greatly speed up and reduce memory usage of Coro::AIO requests.
49 - implement some other ยต-optimisations.
50
514.749 Mon Sep 29 14:40:12 CEST 2008
52 - port to slow and broken pseudo-threaded perls. (courtesy pippijn).
53
544.748 Sat Sep 27 14:03:19 CEST 2008
55 - implement, but do not document, PerlIO::cede(granularity).
56 - Coro::Storable forgot to wrap Storable::pstore.
57 - work around the multitude of leaks and memory corruption
58 bugs in PerlIO::via by using our own C-level perliol. As a side
59 effect, Coro::Storable is now much, much, much faster.
60
614.747 Tue Sep 23 01:59:41 CEST 2008
62 - fix a per-cv memleak (one empty array was leaked per
63 code reference).
64 - avoid a crash in coro->call|rss when the coroutine was already
65 destroyed (most noticably when using Coro::Debug::ps :)
66 - also protect *Storable::FILE.
67 - push up default storable granularity to 20ms.
68
694.746 Sun Sep 21 03:22:20 CEST 2008
70 - be more insistent on locking Storable against reentrancy
71 in Coro::Storable.
72 - move swap_def?v and throw to Coro::State, as documented.
73
744.745 Thu Jul 24 00:14:38 CEST 2008
75 - remove debugging code related to MgPV_nolen_const, also try to
76 make it compile with perl 5.8.6 (yes, apple apparently loves
77 outdated software). Reported by John S.
78
794.744 Tue Jul 8 22:06:35 CEST 2008
80 - correctly provide default DIE/WARN handlers as documented.
81 - also overwrite PL_vtbl_sigelem.svt_clear, even though current
82 implementations inside perl work fine for us.
83
844.743 Mon Jun 16 00:21:57 CEST 2008
85 - when using Coro::EV without running EV::loop it could
86 result in busy-waiting for events, this has been fixed.
87 - reduce codesize and improve performance by using EV_DEFAULT_UC.
88
894.742 Sat May 31 14:10:21 CEST 2008
90 - implement a workaround for (some) perl <5.8.8 versions.
91 - require EV 3.3+.
92
934.741 Fri May 30 23:33:09 CEST 2008
94 - tell netbsd how utterly broken their imitation of an OS is
95 and refuse to build by default if pthreads are in use.
96 - switch to "s" method on all bsd's by default, as their ucontext
97 stuff seems just too broken.
98 - fix a bug in Coro::Select.
99
1004.74 Thu May 29 20:05:31 CEST 2008
101 - do not test Coro::LWP for lack of dependencies.
102 - do not test Coro::Select for lack of working perls.
103
1044.73 Thu May 29 2008
105 - fix a bug in Coro::EV which would cause it to block despite
106 there being runnable coroutines.
107 - sprinkle "no warnings" freely over everything, also suppress
108 warnings for some other modules.
109 - fix typo in WSAEWOULDBLOCK.
