3TODO: should explore PerlIO::via::CoroCede and PerlIO::via::CoroAIO. 3TODO: should explore PerlIO::coroaio (perl leaks like hell).

8 TODO: AnyEvent provide detetc hook 84.91 Mon Nov 10 05:36:38 CET 2008
9 TODO: Coro::AnyEvent 9 - the ->throw exception object no longer leaks.
10 - creating a new cctx leaked a scopestack entry (memleak).
11 - new coroutines didn't get created with a zero flags field
12 (unknown impact).
13 - calling ->throw on a not-yet-started coroutine should now work
14 instead of being ignored.
15 - ->throw is now supported on Coro::State objects.
16 - clean up cctx creation code a bit.
17 - entersub is actually a UNOP, not a LOGOP (not a bugfix).
18
194.9 Sat Nov 8 17:45:27 CET 2008
20 - (libcoro) did not preserve rbp with CORO_ASM (we are getting there).
21 - (libcoro) no longer leak threads in the experimental pthread backend,
22 also speed it up considerably.
23 - (libcoro) do not rely on makecontext passing void *'s unscathed.
24 - fix compiletime dependencies on libcoro in the Makefile.
25 - cctx_count wasn't always updated properly.
26 - Coro::State::cctx_stacksize wasn't applied correctly.
27 - new function Coro::State::cctx_max_idle.
28 - the default max number of idle C contexts is now 4.
29 - (libcoro) try harder to get _setjmp/_longjmp.
30 - (libcoro) cleanup and extend the libcoro API to officially
31 allow the creation of empty source contexts.
32 - very experimental workaround for the totally broken netbsd platform.
33 - tried to hack around openbsd bugs.
34
354.804 Wed Nov 5 16:36:00 CET 2008
36 - Coro::Debug::new_unix_server would not create a non-blocking listening
37 socket, sometimes causing freezes.
38 - (libcoro) fix misaligned stack points for setjmp and assembly
39 methods, which can cause crashes on x86/x86_64 with a sufficiently
40 aggressive compiler.
41 - new function: Coro::Debug::new_tcp_server.
42 - move ->throw into the Coro class because it only works on coro objects.
43
444.803 Mon Nov 3 17:16:12 CET 2008
45 - (libcoro) use a global asm statement to become independent of gcc
46 otpimisations for CORO_ASM (thanks to pippijn for the idea).
47 - try to workaround yet another broken bsd, this time dragonfly.
48
494.802 Thu Oct 30 10:56:12 CET 2008
50 - support -fno-omit-frame-pointer on x86 with the assembly method.
51 - tune 01_unblock.t tests a bit.
52
534.801 Wed Oct 22 18:33:37 CEST 2008
54 - improve readline speed for very long "lines".
55 - backport to 5.8.8.
56
574.8 Thu Oct 2 13:34:40 CEST 2008
58 - new function Coro::AIO::aio_wait.
59 - Coro.:AIO and Coro::BDB now "use Coro::AnyEvent".
60 - greatly speed up and reduce memory usage of Coro::AIO requests.
61 - implement some other ยต-optimisations.
62
634.749 Mon Sep 29 14:40:12 CEST 2008
64 - port to slow and broken pseudo-threaded perls. (courtesy pippijn).
65
664.748 Sat Sep 27 14:03:19 CEST 2008
67 - implement, but do not document, PerlIO::cede(granularity).
68 - Coro::Storable forgot to wrap Storable::pstore.
69 - work around the multitude of leaks and memory corruption
70 bugs in PerlIO::via by using our own C-level perliol. As a side
71 effect, Coro::Storable is now much, much, much faster.
72
734.747 Tue Sep 23 01:59:41 CEST 2008
74 - fix a per-cv memleak (one empty array was leaked per
75 code reference).
76 - avoid a crash in coro->call|rss when the coroutine was already
77 destroyed (most noticably when using Coro::Debug::ps :)
78 - also protect *Storable::FILE.
79 - push up default storable granularity to 20ms.
80
814.746 Sun Sep 21 03:22:20 CEST 2008
82 - be more insistent on locking Storable against reentrancy
83 in Coro::Storable.
84 - move swap_def?v and throw to Coro::State, as documented.
85
864.745 Thu Jul 24 00:14:38 CEST 2008
87 - remove debugging code related to MgPV_nolen_const, also try to
88 make it compile with perl 5.8.6 (yes, apple apparently loves
89 outdated software). Reported by John S.
90
914.744 Tue Jul 8 22:06:35 CEST 2008
92 - correctly provide default DIE/WARN handlers as documented.
93 - also overwrite PL_vtbl_sigelem.svt_clear, even though current
94 implementations inside perl work fine for us.
95
964.743 Mon Jun 16 00:21:57 CEST 2008
97 - when using Coro::EV without running EV::loop it could
98 result in busy-waiting for events, this has been fixed.
99 - reduce codesize and improve performance by using EV_DEFAULT_UC.
100
1014.742 Sat May 31 14:10:21 CEST 2008
102 - implement a workaround for (some) perl <5.8.8 versions.
103 - require EV 3.3+.
104
1054.741 Fri May 30 23:33:09 CEST 2008
106 - tell netbsd how utterly broken their imitation of an OS is
107 and refuse to build by default if pthreads are in use.
108 - switch to "s" method on all bsd's by default, as their ucontext
109 stuff seems just too broken.
110 - fix a bug in Coro::Select.
111
1124.74 Thu May 29 20:05:31 CEST 2008
113 - do not test Coro::LWP for lack of dependencies.
114 - do not test Coro::Select for lack of working perls.
115
1164.73 Thu May 29 2008
117 - fix a bug in Coro::EV which would cause it to block despite
118 there being runnable coroutines.
119 - sprinkle "no warnings" freely over everything, also suppress
120 warnings for some other modules.
121 - fix typo in WSAEWOULDBLOCK.
122
1234.72 Sun May 25 05:14:36 CEST 2008
124 - tweak META.yaml a bit, unfortunately, there is no documented way
125 to have optional dependencies with CPAN. doh :(
126 - avoid running some tests on windows because they would fail due to
127 perl bug (broken fork, broken pipes...).
128 - work around perl on windows bugs where perl returns undocumented
129 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc. by taking advantage
130 of AnyEvent's workaround for that problem.
131 - use AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking in Coro::Handle to work around
132 a common perl implementation bug on windows.
133 - use unix domain sockets in testsuite to work around
134 common perl implementation bugs on widows (they are emulated by
135 tcp sockets on windows. ugh.)
136
1374.71 Sat May 24 20:01:27 CEST 2008
138 - fix a bug in Coro::AnyEvent ("Usage: Coro::AnyEvent::_schedule()").
139 - take advantage of async name resolution of AnyEvent::Util.
140 - work around brutal inet_aton override in Coro::LWP.
141 - take advantage of the readyhook in Coro::EV, for smoother
142 scheduling.
143

10 - completely reworked the Coro manpage. 145 - completely reworked the Coro manpage.
11 - added Coro::AnyEvent, generic event loop integration. 146 - added Coro::AnyEvent, generic event loop integration.
12 - implement cancel, ready and kill commands in Coro::Debug. 147 - implement cancel, ready and kill commands in Coro::Debug.
13 - document find_coro in Coro::Debug. 148 - document find_coro in Coro::Debug.
14 - incompatible change: rename has_stack to has_cctx. 149 - incompatible change: rename has_stack to has_cctx.
15 - Coro::AIO and Coro::BDB no longer force event model detection. 150 - Coro::AIO and Coro::BDB no longer force event model detection,
151 use AnyEvent::AIO and AnyEvent::BDB.

174.6 Sat Apr 26 10:05:14 CEST 2008 1534.6 Sat Apr 26 10:05:14 CEST 2008
18 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: sub/code attributes are no longer supported 154 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: sub/code attributes are no longer supported
19 by the Coro module. It was a mistake to have it in the first place. 155 by the Coro module. It was a mistake to have it in the first place.
20 - (experimental) support for activestate perl 5.10 (method "w"). 156 - (experimental) support for activestate perl 5.10 (method "w").
