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