8 - improve readline speed for very long "lines".

104.8 Thu Oct 2 13:34:40 CEST 2008
11 - new function Coro::AIO::aio_wait.
12 - Coro.:AIO and Coro::BDB now "use Coro::AnyEvent".
13 - greatly speed up and reduce memory usage of Coro::AIO requests.
14 - implement some other µ-optimisations.
15
164.749 Mon Sep 29 14:40:12 CEST 2008
17 - port to slow and broken pseudo-threaded perls. (courtesy pippijn).
18
194.748 Sat Sep 27 14:03:19 CEST 2008
20 - implement, but do not document, PerlIO::cede(granularity).
21 - Coro::Storable forgot to wrap Storable::pstore.
22 - work around the multitude of leaks and memory corruption
23 bugs in PerlIO::via by using our own C-level perliol. As a side
24 effect, Coro::Storable is now much, much, much faster.
25
264.747 Tue Sep 23 01:59:41 CEST 2008
27 - fix a per-cv memleak (one empty array was leaked per
28 code reference).
29 - avoid a crash in coro->call|rss when the coroutine was already
30 destroyed (most noticably when using Coro::Debug::ps :)
31 - also protect *Storable::FILE.
32 - push up default storable granularity to 20ms.
33
344.746 Sun Sep 21 03:22:20 CEST 2008
35 - be more insistent on locking Storable against reentrancy
36 in Coro::Storable.
37 - move swap_def?v and throw to Coro::State, as documented.
38
394.745 Thu Jul 24 00:14:38 CEST 2008
40 - remove debugging code related to MgPV_nolen_const, also try to
41 make it compile with perl 5.8.6 (yes, apple apparently loves
42 outdated software). Reported by John S.
43
444.744 Tue Jul 8 22:06:35 CEST 2008
45 - correctly provide default DIE/WARN handlers as documented.
46 - also overwrite PL_vtbl_sigelem.svt_clear, even though current
47 implementations inside perl work fine for us.
48
494.743 Mon Jun 16 00:21:57 CEST 2008
50 - when using Coro::EV without running EV::loop it could
51 result in busy-waiting for events, this has been fixed.
52 - reduce codesize and improve performance by using EV_DEFAULT_UC.
53
544.742 Sat May 31 14:10:21 CEST 2008
55 - implement a workaround for (some) perl <5.8.8 versions.
56 - require EV 3.3+.
57
584.741 Fri May 30 23:33:09 CEST 2008
59 - tell netbsd how utterly broken their imitation of an OS is
60 and refuse to build by default if pthreads are in use.
61 - switch to "s" method on all bsd's by default, as their ucontext
62 stuff seems just too broken.
63 - fix a bug in Coro::Select.
64
654.74 Thu May 29 20:05:31 CEST 2008
66 - do not test Coro::LWP for lack of dependencies.
67 - do not test Coro::Select for lack of working perls.
68
694.73 Thu May 29 2008
70 - fix a bug in Coro::EV which would cause it to block despite
71 there being runnable coroutines.
72 - sprinkle "no warnings" freely over everything, also suppress
73 warnings for some other modules.
74 - fix typo in WSAEWOULDBLOCK.
75
764.72 Sun May 25 05:14:36 CEST 2008
77 - tweak META.yaml a bit, unfortunately, there is no documented way
78 to have optional dependencies with CPAN. doh :(
79 - avoid running some tests on windows because they would fail due to
80 perl bug (broken fork, broken pipes...).
81 - work around perl on windows bugs where perl returns undocumented
82 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc. by taking advantage
83 of AnyEvent's workaround for that problem.
84 - use AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking in Coro::Handle to work around
85 a common perl implementation bug on windows.
86 - use unix domain sockets in testsuite to work around
87 common perl implementation bugs on widows (they are emulated by
88 tcp sockets on windows. ugh.)
89
904.71 Sat May 24 20:01:27 CEST 2008
91 - fix a bug in Coro::AnyEvent ("Usage: Coro::AnyEvent::_schedule()").
92 - take advantage of async name resolution of AnyEvent::Util.
93 - work around brutal inet_aton override in Coro::LWP.
94 - take advantage of the readyhook in Coro::EV, for smoother
95 scheduling.
96
974.7 Sun May 11 00:32:19 CEST 2008
98 - completely reworked the Coro manpage.
99 - added Coro::AnyEvent, generic event loop integration.
100 - implement cancel, ready and kill commands in Coro::Debug.
101 - document find_coro in Coro::Debug.
102 - incompatible change: rename has_stack to has_cctx.
103 - Coro::AIO and Coro::BDB no longer force event model detection,
104 use AnyEvent::AIO and AnyEvent::BDB.
105
1064.6 Sat Apr 26 10:05:14 CEST 2008
107 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: sub/code attributes are no longer supported
108 by the Coro module. It was a mistake to have it in the first place.
109 - (experimental) support for activestate perl 5.10 (method "w").
110 - (experimental) support for strawberry perl (method "a").
111 - coro_sigelem_set did not return a value although it had to,
112 actual impact unknown.
113
1144.51 Mon Apr 14 13:28:27 CEST 2008
115 - make it compile again on 5.8.
116
1174.50 Thu Apr 10 09:43:17 CEST 2008
118 - I did it twice! (see 4.49).
119
1204.49 Sun Apr 6 21:23:31 CEST 2008
121 - grr, instead of compiling the recent changes on 5.10 only they
122 were compiled on 5.8 only.
123
1244.48 Sun Apr 6 20:36:46 CEST 2008
125 - allow coroutine switches during eval's under 5.10.x, as it seems
126 the parser is a per-interpreter option now, so this is safe
127 (this might fix the odd crashing bug).
128 - drop support for 5.9.x versions: they are dead, jim.
129
1304.47 Sun Apr 6 00:37:52 CEST 2008
131 - force cctx allocation on API calls: we know we need to force one
132 and gcc actually manages to confuse our heuristic nowadays,
133 leading to crashes and worse.
134 - document force_cctx.
135
1364.46 Fri Apr 4 22:05:43 CEST 2008
137 - upgrade libcoro, resulting in pthread-backend (which was only created
138 to fulfill the rules of the programming languages shootout).
139
1404.45 Thu Mar 13 11:55:36 CET 2008
141 - fix a file leaking bug in eg/mhyttpd that would allow
142 downloading of any file (reported by oesi).
143 - fix deadlock bug in Coro::Channel (reported by Richard Hundt)
144 (also add testcase).
145 - support Broadcast option in Coro::Socket (patch by Richard Hundt,
146 apparently having loads of fun with that).
147 - implement $state->swap_defsv, ->swap_defav and document ->throw.
148
1494.4 Wed Feb 13 16:44:29 CET 2008
150 - only assume .cfi pseudo isns exist on GNU/Linux.
151 - add get_timed method to Coro::Channels.
152 - fixed Coro::Debug manpage.
153 - perl 5.11 compatbility improvement based on patch by
154 Andreas König.
155
1564.37 Sun Jan 20 11:25:23 CET 2008
157 - soften the check for an active parser for perl 5.10 (avoiding
158 "Coro::State::transfer called while parsing" in many cases).
159
1604.36 Sun Jan 13 10:53:56 CET 2008
161 - reset diehook when terminating from an async_pool as to not
162 trigger any __DIE__ handlers.
163
1644.35 Sun Jan 13 04:14:13 CET 2008
165 - "bt" debug command now displays any exceptions
166 from longmess and also skips the innermost
167 stackframes, giving more useufl output.
168 - allow backtraces in coroutines blocked in Coro::EV,
169 at a <1% speed hit.
170 - handle localising of $SIG{__WARN__} and __DIE__
171 properly (with a proper amount of dirty hacking).
172
1734.34 Sat Dec 22 17:49:53 CET 2007
174 - upgrade to EV version 2.0 API.
175
1764.33 Mon Dec 17 08:36:12 CET 2007
177 - make Coro::AIO etc. loadable in the absence of EV.
178
1794.32 Mon Dec 17 07:46:02 CET 2007
180 - majorly improved Coro::Handle's performance with Coro::EV.
181 - implemented the until now mythical Coro::BDB module.
182 - specialcase EV in Coro::AIO and Coro::BDB for extra speed.
183
1844.31 Wed Dec 5 12:32:39 CET 2007
185 - remove warn statement form Coro::Util.
186
1874.3 Tue Dec 4 20:33:14 CET 2007
188 - calls to the idle function could cause stack corruption
189 when the stack changed.
190 - do no longer rely on the presence of EV::DNS if EV is used
191 (because it is gone), but instead take avdantage of EV::ADNS
192 if available.
193 - add ($) prototypes to all functions in Coro::Storable.
194 - use a conventional (safer) idle callback in Coro::EV.
195 - do accept quickly in Coro::Debug to avoid endless loops.
196
1974.22 Fri Nov 30 16:04:04 CET 2007
198 - really use optimised versions for Event and EV in Coro::Util
199 and Coro::Handle.
200
2014.21 Sun Nov 25 10:48:59 CET 2007
8 - fix a spurious memory read. 202 - fix a spurious memory read.
203 - Coro::EV no longer keeps the eventloop "alive".
9 204
104.2 Fri Nov 9 20:47:05 CET 2007 2054.2 Fri Nov 9 20:47:05 CET 2007
11 - enable/disable tracing from a new coroutine, not a pooled one. 206 - enable/disable tracing from a new coroutine, not a pooled one.
12 - fix a memleak in Coro::Event. 207 - fix a memleak in Coro::Event.
13 - removed killall call from fork_eval. 208 - removed killall call from fork_eval.
