9 - implement, but do not document, PerlIO::cede(granularity).
10 - Coro::Storable forgot to wrap Storable::pstore.
11 - work around the multitude of leaks and memory corruption
12 bugs in PerlIO::via by using our own C-level perliol.
13
144.747 Tue Sep 23 01:59:41 CEST 2008
15 - fix a per-cv memleak (one empty array was leaked per
16 code reference).
17 - avoid a crash in coro->call|rss when the coroutine was already
18 destroyed (most noticably when using Coro::Debug::ps :)
19 - also protect *Storable::FILE.
20 - push up default storable granularity to 20ms.
21
224.746 Sun Sep 21 03:22:20 CEST 2008
23 - be more insistent on locking Storable against reentrancy
24 in Coro::Storable.
25 - move swap_def?v and throw to Coro::State, as documented.
26
274.745 Thu Jul 24 00:14:38 CEST 2008
28 - remove debugging code related to MgPV_nolen_const, also try to
29 make it compile with perl 5.8.6 (yes, apple apparently loves
30 outdated software). Reported by John S.
31
324.744 Tue Jul 8 22:06:35 CEST 2008
33 - correctly provide default DIE/WARN handlers as documented.
34 - also overwrite PL_vtbl_sigelem.svt_clear, even though current
35 implementations inside perl work fine for us.
36
374.743 Mon Jun 16 00:21:57 CEST 2008
38 - when using Coro::EV without running EV::loop it could
39 result in busy-waiting for events, this has been fixed.
40 - reduce codesize and improve performance by using EV_DEFAULT_UC.
41
424.742 Sat May 31 14:10:21 CEST 2008
43 - implement a workaround for (some) perl <5.8.8 versions.
44 - require EV 3.3+.
45
464.741 Fri May 30 23:33:09 CEST 2008
47 - tell netbsd how utterly broken their imitation of an OS is
48 and refuse to build by default if pthreads are in use.
49 - switch to "s" method on all bsd's by default, as their ucontext
50 stuff seems just too broken.
51 - fix a bug in Coro::Select.
52
534.74 Thu May 29 20:05:31 CEST 2008
54 - do not test Coro::LWP for lack of dependencies.
55 - do not test Coro::Select for lack of working perls.
56
574.73 Thu May 29 2008
58 - fix a bug in Coro::EV which would cause it to block despite
59 there being runnable coroutines.
60 - sprinkle "no warnings" freely over everything, also suppress
61 warnings for some other modules.
62 - fix typo in WSAEWOULDBLOCK.
63
644.72 Sun May 25 05:14:36 CEST 2008
65 - tweak META.yaml a bit, unfortunately, there is no documented way
66 to have optional dependencies with CPAN. doh :(
67 - avoid running some tests on windows because they would fail due to
68 perl bug (broken fork, broken pipes...).
69 - work around perl on windows bugs where perl returns undocumented
70 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc. by taking advantage
71 of AnyEvent's workaround for that problem.
72 - use AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking in Coro::Handle to work around
73 a common perl implementation bug on windows.
74 - use unix domain sockets in testsuite to work around
75 common perl implementation bugs on widows (they are emulated by
76 tcp sockets on windows. ugh.)
77
784.71 Sat May 24 20:01:27 CEST 2008
79 - fix a bug in Coro::AnyEvent ("Usage: Coro::AnyEvent::_schedule()").
80 - take advantage of async name resolution of AnyEvent::Util.
81 - work around brutal inet_aton override in Coro::LWP.
82 - take advantage of the readyhook in Coro::EV, for smoother
83 scheduling.
84
854.7 Sun May 11 00:32:19 CEST 2008
86 - completely reworked the Coro manpage.
87 - added Coro::AnyEvent, generic event loop integration.
88 - implement cancel, ready and kill commands in Coro::Debug.
89 - document find_coro in Coro::Debug.
90 - incompatible change: rename has_stack to has_cctx.
91 - Coro::AIO and Coro::BDB no longer force event model detection,
92 use AnyEvent::AIO and AnyEvent::BDB.
93
944.6 Sat Apr 26 10:05:14 CEST 2008
95 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: sub/code attributes are no longer supported
96 by the Coro module. It was a mistake to have it in the first place.
97 - (experimental) support for activestate perl 5.10 (method "w").
98 - (experimental) support for strawberry perl (method "a").
99 - coro_sigelem_set did not return a value although it had to,
100 actual impact unknown.
101
1024.51 Mon Apr 14 13:28:27 CEST 2008
103 - make it compile again on 5.8.
104
1054.50 Thu Apr 10 09:43:17 CEST 2008
106 - I did it twice! (see 4.49).
107
1084.49 Sun Apr 6 21:23:31 CEST 2008
109 - grr, instead of compiling the recent changes on 5.10 only they
110 were compiled on 5.8 only.
111
1124.48 Sun Apr 6 20:36:46 CEST 2008
113 - allow coroutine switches during eval's under 5.10.x, as it seems
114 the parser is a per-interpreter option now, so this is safe
115 (this might fix the odd crashing bug).
116 - drop support for 5.9.x versions: they are dead, jim.
117
1184.47 Sun Apr 6 00:37:52 CEST 2008
119 - force cctx allocation on API calls: we know we need to force one
120 and gcc actually manages to confuse our heuristic nowadays,
121 leading to crashes and worse.
122 - document force_cctx.
123
1244.46 Fri Apr 4 22:05:43 CEST 2008
125 - upgrade libcoro, resulting in pthread-backend (which was only created
126 to fulfill the rules of the programming languages shootout).
127
1284.45 Thu Mar 13 11:55:36 CET 2008
129 - fix a file leaking bug in eg/mhyttpd that would allow
130 downloading of any file (reported by oesi).
131 - fix deadlock bug in Coro::Channel (reported by Richard Hundt)
132 (also add testcase).
133 - support Broadcast option in Coro::Socket (patch by Richard Hundt,
134 apparently having loads of fun with that).
135 - implement $state->swap_defsv, ->swap_defav and document ->throw.
136
1374.4 Wed Feb 13 16:44:29 CET 2008
138 - only assume .cfi pseudo isns exist on GNU/Linux.
139 - add get_timed method to Coro::Channels.
140 - fixed Coro::Debug manpage.
141 - perl 5.11 compatbility improvement based on patch by
142 Andreas König.
143
1444.37 Sun Jan 20 11:25:23 CET 2008
145 - soften the check for an active parser for perl 5.10 (avoiding
146 "Coro::State::transfer called while parsing" in many cases).
147
1484.36 Sun Jan 13 10:53:56 CET 2008
149 - reset diehook when terminating from an async_pool as to not
150 trigger any __DIE__ handlers.
151
1524.35 Sun Jan 13 04:14:13 CET 2008
153 - "bt" debug command now displays any exceptions
154 from longmess and also skips the innermost
155 stackframes, giving more useufl output.
156 - allow backtraces in coroutines blocked in Coro::EV,
157 at a <1% speed hit.
158 - handle localising of $SIG{__WARN__} and __DIE__
159 properly (with a proper amount of dirty hacking).
160
1614.34 Sat Dec 22 17:49:53 CET 2007
162 - upgrade to EV version 2.0 API.
163
1644.33 Mon Dec 17 08:36:12 CET 2007
165 - make Coro::AIO etc. loadable in the absence of EV.
166
1674.32 Mon Dec 17 07:46:02 CET 2007
168 - majorly improved Coro::Handle's performance with Coro::EV.
169 - implemented the until now mythical Coro::BDB module.
170 - specialcase EV in Coro::AIO and Coro::BDB for extra speed.
171
1724.31 Wed Dec 5 12:32:39 CET 2007
173 - remove warn statement form Coro::Util.
174
1754.3 Tue Dec 4 20:33:14 CET 2007
176 - calls to the idle function could cause stack corruption
177 when the stack changed.
178 - do no longer rely on the presence of EV::DNS if EV is used
179 (because it is gone), but instead take avdantage of EV::ADNS
180 if available.
181 - add ($) prototypes to all functions in Coro::Storable.
182 - use a conventional (safer) idle callback in Coro::EV.
183 - do accept quickly in Coro::Debug to avoid endless loops.
184
1854.22 Fri Nov 30 16:04:04 CET 2007
9 - really use optimised versions for Event and EV in Coro::Util 186 - really use optimised versions for Event and EV in Coro::Util
10 and Coro::Handle. 187 and Coro::Handle.
11 188
124.21 Sun Nov 25 10:48:59 CET 2007 1894.21 Sun Nov 25 10:48:59 CET 2007
13 - fix a spurious memory read. 190 - fix a spurious memory read.
