9 - ARCHITECTURAL REDESIGN, use 4.912 for the stable version. 14 - NEW ARCHITECTURE: use 4.912 for the stable version.
15 - bump API version to 7 - all dependents must be recompiled.
16 - Coro::Semaphore->adjust didn't correctly wake up enough waiters.
17 - async_pool did free a scalar value twice
18 ("Attempt to unreference...").
19 - fix a longstanding bug where calling terminate on a coro that
20 was waiting for a semaphore that was just becoming available
21 would cause a deadlock (semaphore would get into a state where
22 it was available but waiters were waiting(.
23 - avoid deadlock in Coro::Channel if maxsize == 1 (Richard Hundt).
24 - perl's process emulation is now not even theoretically supported
25 anymore.
10 - directly patch the entersub opcode calling ssl functions (cede, 26 - directly patch the entersub opcode calling SLF functions (cede,
11 transfer and so on). this does speed up context switching by 27 transfer and so on). this does speed up context switching, but
12 up to 10%. More importanly, it frees us from the hardcoded 28 more importanly, it frees us from the hardcoded behaviour of
13 behaviour of entersub, so we might actually be able to return 29 entersub, so we might actually be able to return something from
14 something from those functions. 30 those functions and atcually create new ones.
31 - take advantage of __builtin_frame_address on gcc.
32 - expose THX in coroapi (not sure whether this was a wise decision,
33 as "threaded" perls are running at half speed anyways).
34 - implement execute_slf (schedule-like-function) interface that makes
35 it possible to implement schedule-like-functions in XS.
36 - use new SLF interface to massively speed up Coro::EV by roughly a factor
37 of two.
38 - removed timed_down and timed_guard functions - they were not being used
39 anyways and should be replaced by a more generic mechanism - and were
40 annoying to support anyways :
41 - used new SLF interface to massively speed up Coro::Semaphore by a factor
42 of three.
43 - forgot to include Coro/libcoro/README in the dist for all these years.
44 - work around a freebsd pthreads bug (manual testcancel is required as
45 pthread_cond_wait isn't a cancellation point on freebsd).
