9 - minor cleanups.
10 - use much larger stacks on linux and perl < 5.8.8.
11 - Coro::Debug::new_unix_server did not unlink the socket
12 when destroyed.
13
144.911 Tue Nov 11 04:26:17 CET 2008
15 - "port" to threaded perls.
16
174.91 Mon Nov 10 05:36:38 CET 2008
18 - the ->throw exception object no longer leaks.
19 - creating a new cctx leaked a scopestack entry (memleak).
20 - new coroutines didn't get created with a zero flags field
21 (unknown impact).
22 - calling ->throw on a not-yet-started coroutine should now work
23 instead of being ignored.
24 - ->throw is now supported on Coro::State objects.
25 - clean up cctx creation code a bit.
26 - entersub is actually a UNOP, not a LOGOP (not a bugfix).
27
284.9 Sat Nov 8 17:45:27 CET 2008
29 - (libcoro) did not preserve rbp with CORO_ASM (we are getting there).
30 - (libcoro) no longer leak threads in the experimental pthread backend,
31 also speed it up considerably.
32 - (libcoro) do not rely on makecontext passing void *'s unscathed.
33 - fix compiletime dependencies on libcoro in the Makefile.
34 - cctx_count wasn't always updated properly.
35 - Coro::State::cctx_stacksize wasn't applied correctly.
36 - new function Coro::State::cctx_max_idle.
37 - the default max number of idle C contexts is now 4.
38 - (libcoro) try harder to get _setjmp/_longjmp.
39 - (libcoro) cleanup and extend the libcoro API to officially
40 allow the creation of empty source contexts.
41 - very experimental workaround for the totally broken netbsd platform.
42 - tried to hack around openbsd bugs.
43
444.804 Wed Nov 5 16:36:00 CET 2008
45 - Coro::Debug::new_unix_server would not create a non-blocking listening
46 socket, sometimes causing freezes.
47 - (libcoro) fix misaligned stack points for setjmp and assembly
48 methods, which can cause crashes on x86/x86_64 with a sufficiently
49 aggressive compiler.
50 - new function: Coro::Debug::new_tcp_server.
51 - move ->throw into the Coro class because it only works on coro objects.
52
534.803 Mon Nov 3 17:16:12 CET 2008
54 - (libcoro) use a global asm statement to become independent of gcc
55 otpimisations for CORO_ASM (thanks to pippijn for the idea).
56 - try to workaround yet another broken bsd, this time dragonfly.
57
584.802 Thu Oct 30 10:56:12 CET 2008
59 - support -fno-omit-frame-pointer on x86 with the assembly method.
60 - tune 01_unblock.t tests a bit.
61
624.801 Wed Oct 22 18:33:37 CEST 2008
63 - improve readline speed for very long "lines".
64 - backport to 5.8.8.
65
664.8 Thu Oct 2 13:34:40 CEST 2008
67 - new function Coro::AIO::aio_wait.
68 - Coro.:AIO and Coro::BDB now "use Coro::AnyEvent".
69 - greatly speed up and reduce memory usage of Coro::AIO requests.
70 - implement some other ยต-optimisations.
71
724.749 Mon Sep 29 14:40:12 CEST 2008
73 - port to slow and broken pseudo-threaded perls. (courtesy pippijn).
74
754.748 Sat Sep 27 14:03:19 CEST 2008
76 - implement, but do not document, PerlIO::cede(granularity).
77 - Coro::Storable forgot to wrap Storable::pstore.
78 - work around the multitude of leaks and memory corruption
79 bugs in PerlIO::via by using our own C-level perliol. As a side
80 effect, Coro::Storable is now much, much, much faster.
81
824.747 Tue Sep 23 01:59:41 CEST 2008
83 - fix a per-cv memleak (one empty array was leaked per
84 code reference).
85 - avoid a crash in coro->call|rss when the coroutine was already
86 destroyed (most noticably when using Coro::Debug::ps :)
87 - also protect *Storable::FILE.
88 - push up default storable granularity to 20ms.
89
904.746 Sun Sep 21 03:22:20 CEST 2008
91 - be more insistent on locking Storable against reentrancy
92 in Coro::Storable.
93 - move swap_def?v and throw to Coro::State, as documented.
94
954.745 Thu Jul 24 00:14:38 CEST 2008
96 - remove debugging code related to MgPV_nolen_const, also try to
97 make it compile with perl 5.8.6 (yes, apple apparently loves
98 outdated software). Reported by John S.
99
1004.744 Tue Jul 8 22:06:35 CEST 2008
101 - correctly provide default DIE/WARN handlers as documented.
102 - also overwrite PL_vtbl_sigelem.svt_clear, even though current
103 implementations inside perl work fine for us.
104
1054.743 Mon Jun 16 00:21:57 CEST 2008
106 - when using Coro::EV without running EV::loop it could
107 result in busy-waiting for events, this has been fixed.
108 - reduce codesize and improve performance by using EV_DEFAULT_UC.
109
1104.742 Sat May 31 14:10:21 CEST 2008
111 - implement a workaround for (some) perl <5.8.8 versions.
112 - require EV 3.3+.
113
1144.741 Fri May 30 23:33:09 CEST 2008
115 - tell netbsd how utterly broken their imitation of an OS is
116 and refuse to build by default if pthreads are in use.
117 - switch to "s" method on all bsd's by default, as their ucontext
118 stuff seems just too broken.
119 - fix a bug in Coro::Select.
120
1214.74 Thu May 29 20:05:31 CEST 2008
122 - do not test Coro::LWP for lack of dependencies.
123 - do not test Coro::Select for lack of working perls.
124
1254.73 Thu May 29 2008
126 - fix a bug in Coro::EV which would cause it to block despite
127 there being runnable coroutines.
128 - sprinkle "no warnings" freely over everything, also suppress
129 warnings for some other modules.
130 - fix typo in WSAEWOULDBLOCK.
131
1324.72 Sun May 25 05:14:36 CEST 2008
133 - tweak META.yaml a bit, unfortunately, there is no documented way
134 to have optional dependencies with CPAN. doh :(
8 - avoid running some tests on windows because they would fail due to 135 - avoid running some tests on windows because they would fail due to
9 perl bugs. 136 perl bug (broken fork, broken pipes...).
137 - work around perl on windows bugs where perl returns undocumented
138 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc. by taking advantage
139 of AnyEvent's workaround for that problem.
10 - use AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking in Coro::Handle to work around 140 - use AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking in Coro::Handle to work around
11 a common perl implementation bug on windows. 141 a common perl implementation bug on windows.
12 - use unix domain sockets in testsuite to work around 142 - use unix domain sockets in testsuite to work around
13 common perl implementation bugs on widows. 143 common perl implementation bugs on widows (they are emulated by
144 tcp sockets on windows. ugh.)

16 - fix a bug in Coro::AnyEvent ("Usage: Coro::AnyEvent::_schedule()"). 147 - fix a bug in Coro::AnyEvent ("Usage: Coro::AnyEvent::_schedule()").
17 - take advantage of async name resolution of AnyEvent::Util. 148 - take advantage of async name resolution of AnyEvent::Util.
