1Revision history for Perl extension Coro. 1Revision history for Perl extension Coro.
2 2
30.45 3 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X.
4 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust
5 way to clone padlists (uses less memory and
6 a perl function instead of our own).
7
82.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
9 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
10
111.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
12
131.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
14 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
15 mark & sweep gc run.
16 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
17
181.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
19 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
20 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
21
221.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
23 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
24 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
25 wrong package.
26 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
27 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
28 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
29 normally uses.
30 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
31
321.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
33 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
34
351.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
36 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
37 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
38 - strict'ify some modules.
39 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
40 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
41 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
42
431.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
44 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
45 when 'l'inux method was used.
46
471.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
48 - some portability fixes/workarounds.
49
501.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
51 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
52 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
53 Coro::State::flush method.
54 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
55
561.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
57 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
58 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
59 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
60 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
61 - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.
62
631.11 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
64 - change of contact address.
65
661.1 Tue Feb 22 20:51:16 CET 2005
67 - support [l]inux method on amd64.
68 - allow some context switches while compiling/eval'ing.
69
701.0 Tue Aug 10 03:47:27 CEST 2004
71 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
72 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
73 padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
74
750.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
76 - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
77
780.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
79 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
80 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
81 as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
82 Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
83 between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
84 fixable).
85 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
86
870.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
88 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
89 faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
90 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
91 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
92 observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
93 of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
94 pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
95 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
96 - fix for threaded perl.
97
980.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
99 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
100 memory leaks.
101 - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
102 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
103 hopefully ignoring it "just works".
104
1050.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
106 - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
107 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
108
1090.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
110 - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
111 of new features.
112 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
113 Highly correct stuff, that is...
114 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
115 the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.
116
1170.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
118 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
119 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
120 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
121 so preselect it.
122
1230.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
124 - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost
125 on reading, reported by jason@nichego.net.
126
1270.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
128 - added a README.linux-glibc.
129 - new module Coro::Select.
130 - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
131 (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
132 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
133
1340.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
135 - made lazy context switching the default.
136 - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
137 was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
138 - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
139 - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
140
1410.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
142 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
143 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
144 - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
145 ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
146 - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
147 of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
148
1490.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
150 - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
151 - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
152 could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
153
1540.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
155 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
156 (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
157 without Event, which freezes).
158
1590.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
160 - Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.
161
1620.53 Tue Nov 27 21:11:13 CET 2001
163 - some tests for Event.
164 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
165 and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
166 new ones.
167 - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
168 - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.
169
1700.52 Tue Nov 6 21:36:18 CET 2001
171 - ported to cygwin (trivial).
172 patch by Gerrit P. Haase <gp@familiehaase.de>.
173 - small setjmp code fix by Sullivan.DanielJ@epamail.epa.gov.
174
1750.51 Thu Nov 1 20:39:01 CET 2001
176 - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
177 could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
178 error.
179 - added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
180 - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.
181 - implemented terminate with args + join.
182
1830.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001
184 - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.
185 - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
186 in various modules.
187 - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
188 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.
189
1900.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
191 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
192 inside Coro::Handle.
193 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
194 speed reasons.
195 - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
196 sjlj and ucontext should now work.
197 - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
198 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
199 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.
200 - fixed a bug that caused segfault when returning to main task
201 under some circumstances.
202 - other bugfixes.
