7
8 - remove debugging code related to MgPV_nolen_const.
9
104.744 Tue Jul 8 22:06:35 CEST 2008
11 - correctly provide default DIE/WARN handlers as documented.
12 - also overwrite PL_vtbl_sigelem.svt_clear, even though current
13 implementations inside perl work fine for us.
14
154.743 Mon Jun 16 00:21:57 CEST 2008
16 - when using Coro::EV without running EV::loop it could
17 result in busy-waiting for events, this has been fixed.
18 - reduce codesize and improve performance by using EV_DEFAULT_UC.
19
204.742 Sat May 31 14:10:21 CEST 2008
21 - implement a workaround for (some) perl <5.8.8 versions.
22 - require EV 3.3+.
23
244.741 Fri May 30 23:33:09 CEST 2008
25 - tell netbsd how utterly broken their imitation of an OS is
26 and refuse to build by default if pthreads are in use.
27 - switch to "s" method on all bsd's by default, as their ucontext
28 stuff seems just too broken.
29 - fix a bug in Coro::Select.
30
314.74 Thu May 29 20:05:31 CEST 2008
32 - do not test Coro::LWP for lack of dependencies.
33 - do not test Coro::Select for lack of working perls.
34
354.73 Thu May 29 2008
36 - fix a bug in Coro::EV which would cause it to block despite
37 there being runnable coroutines.
38 - sprinkle "no warnings" freely over everything, also suppress
39 warnings for some other modules.
40 - fix typo in WSAEWOULDBLOCK.
41
424.72 Sun May 25 05:14:36 CEST 2008
43 - tweak META.yaml a bit, unfortunately, there is no documented way
44 to have optional dependencies with CPAN. doh :(
45 - avoid running some tests on windows because they would fail due to
46 perl bug (broken fork, broken pipes...).
47 - work around perl on windows bugs where perl returns undocumented
48 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc. by taking advantage
49 of AnyEvent's workaround for that problem.
50 - use AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking in Coro::Handle to work around
51 a common perl implementation bug on windows.
52 - use unix domain sockets in testsuite to work around
53 common perl implementation bugs on widows (they are emulated by
54 tcp sockets on windows. ugh.)
55
564.71 Sat May 24 20:01:27 CEST 2008
57 - fix a bug in Coro::AnyEvent ("Usage: Coro::AnyEvent::_schedule()").
58 - take advantage of async name resolution of AnyEvent::Util.
59 - work around brutal inet_aton override in Coro::LWP.
60 - take advantage of the readyhook in Coro::EV, for smoother
61 scheduling.
62
634.7 Sun May 11 00:32:19 CEST 2008
64 - completely reworked the Coro manpage.
65 - added Coro::AnyEvent, generic event loop integration.
66 - implement cancel, ready and kill commands in Coro::Debug.
67 - document find_coro in Coro::Debug.
68 - incompatible change: rename has_stack to has_cctx.
69 - Coro::AIO and Coro::BDB no longer force event model detection,
70 use AnyEvent::AIO and AnyEvent::BDB.
71
724.6 Sat Apr 26 10:05:14 CEST 2008
73 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: sub/code attributes are no longer supported
74 by the Coro module. It was a mistake to have it in the first place.
75 - (experimental) support for activestate perl 5.10 (method "w").
76 - (experimental) support for strawberry perl (method "a").
77 - coro_sigelem_set did not return a value although it had to,
78 actual impact unknown.
79
804.51 Mon Apr 14 13:28:27 CEST 2008
81 - make it compile again on 5.8.
82
834.50 Thu Apr 10 09:43:17 CEST 2008
84 - I did it twice! (see 4.49).
85
864.49 Sun Apr 6 21:23:31 CEST 2008
87 - grr, instead of compiling the recent changes on 5.10 only they
88 were compiled on 5.8 only.
89
904.48 Sun Apr 6 20:36:46 CEST 2008
91 - allow coroutine switches during eval's under 5.10.x, as it seems
92 the parser is a per-interpreter option now, so this is safe
93 (this might fix the odd crashing bug).
94 - drop support for 5.9.x versions: they are dead, jim.
95
964.47 Sun Apr 6 00:37:52 CEST 2008
97 - force cctx allocation on API calls: we know we need to force one
98 and gcc actually manages to confuse our heuristic nowadays,
99 leading to crashes and worse.
100 - document force_cctx.
101
1024.46 Fri Apr 4 22:05:43 CEST 2008
103 - upgrade libcoro, resulting in pthread-backend (which was only created
104 to fulfill the rules of the programming languages shootout).
105
1064.45 Thu Mar 13 11:55:36 CET 2008
107 - fix a file leaking bug in eg/mhyttpd that would allow
108 downloading of any file (reported by oesi).
109 - fix deadlock bug in Coro::Channel (reported by Richard Hundt)
110 (also add testcase).
111 - support Broadcast option in Coro::Socket (patch by Richard Hundt,
112 apparently having loads of fun with that).
113 - implement $state->swap_defsv, ->swap_defav and document ->throw.
114
1154.4 Wed Feb 13 16:44:29 CET 2008
116 - only assume .cfi pseudo isns exist on GNU/Linux.
117 - add get_timed method to Coro::Channels.
118 - fixed Coro::Debug manpage.
119 - perl 5.11 compatbility improvement based on patch by
120 Andreas König.
121
1224.37 Sun Jan 20 11:25:23 CET 2008
123 - soften the check for an active parser for perl 5.10 (avoiding
124 "Coro::State::transfer called while parsing" in many cases).
125
1264.36 Sun Jan 13 10:53:56 CET 2008
127 - reset diehook when terminating from an async_pool as to not
128 trigger any __DIE__ handlers.
129
1304.35 Sun Jan 13 04:14:13 CET 2008
131 - "bt" debug command now displays any exceptions
132 from longmess and also skips the innermost
133 stackframes, giving more useufl output.
134 - allow backtraces in coroutines blocked in Coro::EV,
135 at a <1% speed hit.
136 - handle localising of $SIG{__WARN__} and __DIE__
137 properly (with a proper amount of dirty hacking).
138
1394.34 Sat Dec 22 17:49:53 CET 2007
140 - upgrade to EV version 2.0 API.
141
1424.33 Mon Dec 17 08:36:12 CET 2007
143 - make Coro::AIO etc. loadable in the absence of EV.
144
1454.32 Mon Dec 17 07:46:02 CET 2007
146 - majorly improved Coro::Handle's performance with Coro::EV.
147 - implemented the until now mythical Coro::BDB module.
148 - specialcase EV in Coro::AIO and Coro::BDB for extra speed.
149
1504.31 Wed Dec 5 12:32:39 CET 2007
151 - remove warn statement form Coro::Util.
152
1534.3 Tue Dec 4 20:33:14 CET 2007
154 - calls to the idle function could cause stack corruption
155 when the stack changed.
156 - do no longer rely on the presence of EV::DNS if EV is used
157 (because it is gone), but instead take avdantage of EV::ADNS
158 if available.
159 - add ($) prototypes to all functions in Coro::Storable.
160 - use a conventional (safer) idle callback in Coro::EV.
161 - do accept quickly in Coro::Debug to avoid endless loops.
162
1634.22 Fri Nov 30 16:04:04 CET 2007
164 - really use optimised versions for Event and EV in Coro::Util
165 and Coro::Handle.
166
1674.21 Sun Nov 25 10:48:59 CET 2007
168 - fix a spurious memory read.
169 - Coro::EV no longer keeps the eventloop "alive".
170
1714.2 Fri Nov 9 20:47:05 CET 2007
172 - enable/disable tracing from a new coroutine, not a pooled one.
173 - fix a memleak in Coro::Event.
174 - removed killall call from fork_eval.
175 - made sure store_fd is already loaded so that fork_eval
176 does not have to parse autoload in each subprocess.
177 - only use assembly method if -O switch is in $Config{optimize}.
178 - add (optional) Coro::EV module, so far the best event loop module
179 directly supported by Coro.
180 - if the event model is EV, use EV::DNS to resolve
181 stuff in Coro::Util.
182 - don't get confused by multiple event notifications in Coro::Handle.
183 - initial support for EV (libevent interface).
184 - require Event and EV using configure_requires, to force their existance.
185
1864.13 Wed Oct 24 07:26:45 CEST 2007
187 - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw.
188 - use a vastly more complicated technique to localise
189 $SIG{__WARN/DIE__} that also works on perls <= 5.8.8.
190 - use a coroutine for the idle callback Coro::Event,
191 instead of running Event in the current coroutine context.
192 This also catches recursive invocations.
193 - actually report fork errors in gethostbyname and inet_aton.
7 194
84.11 Thu Oct 11 02:40:24 CEST 2007 1954.11 Thu Oct 11 02:40:24 CEST 2007
9 - port to threaded perls. 196 - port to threaded perls.
