9 - tell netbsd how utterly broken their imitation of an OS is
10 and refuse to build by default if pthreads are in use.
11 - switch to "s" method on all bsd's by default, as their ucontext
12 stuff seems just too broken.
13 - fix a bug in Coro::Select.
14
154.74 Thu May 29 20:05:31 CEST 2008
16 - do not test Coro::LWP for lack of dependencies.
17 - do not test Coro::Select for lack of working perls.
18
194.73 Thu May 29 2008
20 - fix a bug in Coro::EV which would cause it to block despite
21 there being runnable coroutines.
22 - sprinkle "no warnings" freely over everything, also suppress
23 warnings for some other modules.
24 - fix typo in WSAEWOULDBLOCK.
25
264.72 Sun May 25 05:14:36 CEST 2008
27 - tweak META.yaml a bit, unfortunately, there is no documented way
28 to have optional dependencies with CPAN. doh :(
29 - avoid running some tests on windows because they would fail due to
30 perl bug (broken fork, broken pipes...).
31 - work around perl on windows bugs where perl returns undocumented
32 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc. by taking advantage
33 of AnyEvent's workaround for that problem.
34 - use AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking in Coro::Handle to work around
35 a common perl implementation bug on windows.
36 - use unix domain sockets in testsuite to work around
37 common perl implementation bugs on widows (they are emulated by
38 tcp sockets on windows. ugh.)
39
404.71 Sat May 24 20:01:27 CEST 2008
41 - fix a bug in Coro::AnyEvent ("Usage: Coro::AnyEvent::_schedule()").
42 - take advantage of async name resolution of AnyEvent::Util.
43 - work around brutal inet_aton override in Coro::LWP.
44 - take advantage of the readyhook in Coro::EV, for smoother
45 scheduling.
46
474.7 Sun May 11 00:32:19 CEST 2008
48 - completely reworked the Coro manpage.
49 - added Coro::AnyEvent, generic event loop integration.
50 - implement cancel, ready and kill commands in Coro::Debug.
51 - document find_coro in Coro::Debug.
52 - incompatible change: rename has_stack to has_cctx.
53 - Coro::AIO and Coro::BDB no longer force event model detection,
54 use AnyEvent::AIO and AnyEvent::BDB.
55
564.6 Sat Apr 26 10:05:14 CEST 2008
57 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: sub/code attributes are no longer supported
58 by the Coro module. It was a mistake to have it in the first place.
59 - (experimental) support for activestate perl 5.10 (method "w").
60 - (experimental) support for strawberry perl (method "a").
61 - coro_sigelem_set did not return a value although it had to,
62 actual impact unknown.
63
644.51 Mon Apr 14 13:28:27 CEST 2008
65 - make it compile again on 5.8.
66
674.50 Thu Apr 10 09:43:17 CEST 2008
68 - I did it twice! (see 4.49).
69
704.49 Sun Apr 6 21:23:31 CEST 2008
71 - grr, instead of compiling the recent changes on 5.10 only they
72 were compiled on 5.8 only.
73
744.48 Sun Apr 6 20:36:46 CEST 2008
75 - allow coroutine switches during eval's under 5.10.x, as it seems
76 the parser is a per-interpreter option now, so this is safe
77 (this might fix the odd crashing bug).
78 - drop support for 5.9.x versions: they are dead, jim.
79
804.47 Sun Apr 6 00:37:52 CEST 2008
81 - force cctx allocation on API calls: we know we need to force one
82 and gcc actually manages to confuse our heuristic nowadays,
83 leading to crashes and worse.
84 - document force_cctx.
85
864.46 Fri Apr 4 22:05:43 CEST 2008
87 - upgrade libcoro, resulting in pthread-backend (which was only created
88 to fulfill the rules of the programming languages shootout).
89
904.45 Thu Mar 13 11:55:36 CET 2008
91 - fix a file leaking bug in eg/mhyttpd that would allow
92 downloading of any file (reported by oesi).
93 - fix deadlock bug in Coro::Channel (reported by Richard Hundt)
94 (also add testcase).
95 - support Broadcast option in Coro::Socket (patch by Richard Hundt,
96 apparently having loads of fun with that).
97 - implement $state->swap_defsv, ->swap_defav and document ->throw.
98
994.4 Wed Feb 13 16:44:29 CET 2008
100 - only assume .cfi pseudo isns exist on GNU/Linux.
101 - add get_timed method to Coro::Channels.
102 - fixed Coro::Debug manpage.
103 - perl 5.11 compatbility improvement based on patch by
104 Andreas König.
105
1064.37 Sun Jan 20 11:25:23 CET 2008
107 - soften the check for an active parser for perl 5.10 (avoiding
108 "Coro::State::transfer called while parsing" in many cases).
109
1104.36 Sun Jan 13 10:53:56 CET 2008
111 - reset diehook when terminating from an async_pool as to not
112 trigger any __DIE__ handlers.
113
1144.35 Sun Jan 13 04:14:13 CET 2008
115 - "bt" debug command now displays any exceptions
116 from longmess and also skips the innermost
117 stackframes, giving more useufl output.
118 - allow backtraces in coroutines blocked in Coro::EV,
119 at a <1% speed hit.
120 - handle localising of $SIG{__WARN__} and __DIE__
121 properly (with a proper amount of dirty hacking).
122
1234.34 Sat Dec 22 17:49:53 CET 2007
124 - upgrade to EV version 2.0 API.
125
1264.33 Mon Dec 17 08:36:12 CET 2007
127 - make Coro::AIO etc. loadable in the absence of EV.
128
1294.32 Mon Dec 17 07:46:02 CET 2007
130 - majorly improved Coro::Handle's performance with Coro::EV.
131 - implemented the until now mythical Coro::BDB module.
132 - specialcase EV in Coro::AIO and Coro::BDB for extra speed.
133
1344.31 Wed Dec 5 12:32:39 CET 2007
135 - remove warn statement form Coro::Util.
136
1374.3 Tue Dec 4 20:33:14 CET 2007
138 - calls to the idle function could cause stack corruption
139 when the stack changed.
8 - do no longer rely on the presence of EV::DNS if EV is used 140 - do no longer rely on the presence of EV::DNS if EV is used
9 (because it is gone), but instead take avdantage of EV::ADNS 141 (because it is gone), but instead take avdantage of EV::ADNS
10 if available. 142 if available.
11 - add ($) prototypes to all functions in Coro::Storable. 143 - add ($) prototypes to all functions in Coro::Storable.
144 - use a conventional (safer) idle callback in Coro::EV.
145 - do accept quickly in Coro::Debug to avoid endless loops.
12 146
134.22 Fri Nov 30 16:04:04 CET 2007 1474.22 Fri Nov 30 16:04:04 CET 2007
14 - really use optimised versions for Event and EV in Coro::Util 148 - really use optimised versions for Event and EV in Coro::Util
15 and Coro::Handle. 149 and Coro::Handle.
