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. As a side
13 effect, Coro::Storable is now much, much, much faster.
14
154.747 Tue Sep 23 01:59:41 CEST 2008
16 - fix a per-cv memleak (one empty array was leaked per
17 code reference).
18 - avoid a crash in coro->call|rss when the coroutine was already
19 destroyed (most noticably when using Coro::Debug::ps :)
20 - also protect *Storable::FILE.
21 - push up default storable granularity to 20ms.
22
234.746 Sun Sep 21 03:22:20 CEST 2008
24 - be more insistent on locking Storable against reentrancy
25 in Coro::Storable.
26 - move swap_def?v and throw to Coro::State, as documented.
27
284.745 Thu Jul 24 00:14:38 CEST 2008
29 - remove debugging code related to MgPV_nolen_const, also try to
30 make it compile with perl 5.8.6 (yes, apple apparently loves
31 outdated software). Reported by John S.
32
334.744 Tue Jul 8 22:06:35 CEST 2008
34 - correctly provide default DIE/WARN handlers as documented.
35 - also overwrite PL_vtbl_sigelem.svt_clear, even though current
36 implementations inside perl work fine for us.
37
384.743 Mon Jun 16 00:21:57 CEST 2008
39 - when using Coro::EV without running EV::loop it could
40 result in busy-waiting for events, this has been fixed.
41 - reduce codesize and improve performance by using EV_DEFAULT_UC.
42
434.742 Sat May 31 14:10:21 CEST 2008
44 - implement a workaround for (some) perl <5.8.8 versions.
45 - require EV 3.3+.
46
474.741 Fri May 30 23:33:09 CEST 2008
48 - tell netbsd how utterly broken their imitation of an OS is
49 and refuse to build by default if pthreads are in use.
50 - switch to "s" method on all bsd's by default, as their ucontext
51 stuff seems just too broken.
52 - fix a bug in Coro::Select.
53
544.74 Thu May 29 20:05:31 CEST 2008
55 - do not test Coro::LWP for lack of dependencies.
56 - do not test Coro::Select for lack of working perls.
57
584.73 Thu May 29 2008
59 - fix a bug in Coro::EV which would cause it to block despite
60 there being runnable coroutines.
61 - sprinkle "no warnings" freely over everything, also suppress
62 warnings for some other modules.
63 - fix typo in WSAEWOULDBLOCK.
64
654.72 Sun May 25 05:14:36 CEST 2008
66 - tweak META.yaml a bit, unfortunately, there is no documented way
67 to have optional dependencies with CPAN. doh :(
68 - avoid running some tests on windows because they would fail due to
69 perl bug (broken fork, broken pipes...).
70 - work around perl on windows bugs where perl returns undocumented
71 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc. by taking advantage
72 of AnyEvent's workaround for that problem.
73 - use AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking in Coro::Handle to work around
74 a common perl implementation bug on windows.
75 - use unix domain sockets in testsuite to work around
76 common perl implementation bugs on widows (they are emulated by
77 tcp sockets on windows. ugh.)
78
794.71 Sat May 24 20:01:27 CEST 2008
80 - fix a bug in Coro::AnyEvent ("Usage: Coro::AnyEvent::_schedule()").
81 - take advantage of async name resolution of AnyEvent::Util.
82 - work around brutal inet_aton override in Coro::LWP.
83 - take advantage of the readyhook in Coro::EV, for smoother
84 scheduling.
85
864.7 Sun May 11 00:32:19 CEST 2008
87 - completely reworked the Coro manpage.
88 - added Coro::AnyEvent, generic event loop integration.
89 - implement cancel, ready and kill commands in Coro::Debug.
90 - document find_coro in Coro::Debug.
91 - incompatible change: rename has_stack to has_cctx.
92 - Coro::AIO and Coro::BDB no longer force event model detection,
93 use AnyEvent::AIO and AnyEvent::BDB.
94
954.6 Sat Apr 26 10:05:14 CEST 2008
96 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: sub/code attributes are no longer supported
97 by the Coro module. It was a mistake to have it in the first place.
98 - (experimental) support for activestate perl 5.10 (method "w").
99 - (experimental) support for strawberry perl (method "a").
100 - coro_sigelem_set did not return a value although it had to,
101 actual impact unknown.
102
1034.51 Mon Apr 14 13:28:27 CEST 2008
104 - make it compile again on 5.8.
105
1064.50 Thu Apr 10 09:43:17 CEST 2008
107 - I did it twice! (see 4.49).
108
1094.49 Sun Apr 6 21:23:31 CEST 2008
110 - grr, instead of compiling the recent changes on 5.10 only they
111 were compiled on 5.8 only.
112
1134.48 Sun Apr 6 20:36:46 CEST 2008
114 - allow coroutine switches during eval's under 5.10.x, as it seems
115 the parser is a per-interpreter option now, so this is safe
116 (this might fix the odd crashing bug).
117 - drop support for 5.9.x versions: they are dead, jim.
118
1194.47 Sun Apr 6 00:37:52 CEST 2008
120 - force cctx allocation on API calls: we know we need to force one
121 and gcc actually manages to confuse our heuristic nowadays,
122 leading to crashes and worse.
123 - document force_cctx.
124
1254.46 Fri Apr 4 22:05:43 CEST 2008
126 - upgrade libcoro, resulting in pthread-backend (which was only created
127 to fulfill the rules of the programming languages shootout).
128
1294.45 Thu Mar 13 11:55:36 CET 2008
130 - fix a file leaking bug in eg/mhyttpd that would allow
131 downloading of any file (reported by oesi).
132 - fix deadlock bug in Coro::Channel (reported by Richard Hundt)
133 (also add testcase).
134 - support Broadcast option in Coro::Socket (patch by Richard Hundt,
135 apparently having loads of fun with that).
136 - implement $state->swap_defsv, ->swap_defav and document ->throw.
137
1384.4 Wed Feb 13 16:44:29 CET 2008
139 - only assume .cfi pseudo isns exist on GNU/Linux.
140 - add get_timed method to Coro::Channels.
141 - fixed Coro::Debug manpage.
142 - perl 5.11 compatbility improvement based on patch by
143 Andreas König.
144
1454.37 Sun Jan 20 11:25:23 CET 2008
146 - soften the check for an active parser for perl 5.10 (avoiding
147 "Coro::State::transfer called while parsing" in many cases).
148
1494.36 Sun Jan 13 10:53:56 CET 2008
150 - reset diehook when terminating from an async_pool as to not
151 trigger any __DIE__ handlers.
152
1534.35 Sun Jan 13 04:14:13 CET 2008
154 - "bt" debug command now displays any exceptions
155 from longmess and also skips the innermost
156 stackframes, giving more useufl output.
157 - allow backtraces in coroutines blocked in Coro::EV,
158 at a <1% speed hit.
159 - handle localising of $SIG{__WARN__} and __DIE__
160 properly (with a proper amount of dirty hacking).
161
1624.34 Sat Dec 22 17:49:53 CET 2007
163 - upgrade to EV version 2.0 API.
164
1654.33 Mon Dec 17 08:36:12 CET 2007
166 - make Coro::AIO etc. loadable in the absence of EV.
167
1684.32 Mon Dec 17 07:46:02 CET 2007
169 - majorly improved Coro::Handle's performance with Coro::EV.
170 - implemented the until now mythical Coro::BDB module.
171 - specialcase EV in Coro::AIO and Coro::BDB for extra speed.
172
1734.31 Wed Dec 5 12:32:39 CET 2007
174 - remove warn statement form Coro::Util.
175
1764.3 Tue Dec 4 20:33:14 CET 2007
177 - calls to the idle function could cause stack corruption
178 when the stack changed.
179 - do no longer rely on the presence of EV::DNS if EV is used
180 (because it is gone), but instead take avdantage of EV::ADNS
181 if available.
182 - add ($) prototypes to all functions in Coro::Storable.
183 - use a conventional (safer) idle callback in Coro::EV.
184 - do accept quickly in Coro::Debug to avoid endless loops.
185
1864.22 Fri Nov 30 16:04:04 CET 2007
187 - really use optimised versions for Event and EV in Coro::Util
188 and Coro::Handle.
7 189
84.21 Sun Nov 25 10:48:59 CET 2007 1904.21 Sun Nov 25 10:48:59 CET 2007
9 - fix a spurious memory read. 191 - fix a spurious memory read.
10 - Coro::EV no longer keeps the eventloop "alive". 192 - Coro::EV no longer keeps the eventloop "alive".
