1Revision history for Perl extension Coro. 1Revision history for Perl extension Coro.
2 2
30.45 32.1
4 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
5 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
6 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
7 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
8 pach by Michael Schwern.
9
102.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
11 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
12
131.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
14
151.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
16 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
17 mark & sweep gc run.
18 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
19
201.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
21 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
22 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
23
241.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
25 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
26 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
27 wrong package.
28 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
29 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
30 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
31 normally uses.
32 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
33
341.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
35 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
36
371.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
38 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
39 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
40 - strict'ify some modules.
41 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
42 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
43 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
44
451.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
46 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
47 when 'l'inux method was used.
48
491.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
50 - some portability fixes/workarounds.
51
521.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
53 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
54 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
55 Coro::State::flush method.
56 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
57
581.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
59 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
60 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
61 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
62 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
63 - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.
64
651.11 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
66 - change of contact address.
67
681.1 Tue Feb 22 20:51:16 CET 2005
69 - support [l]inux method on amd64.
70 - allow some context switches while compiling/eval'ing.
71
721.0 Tue Aug 10 03:47:27 CEST 2004
73 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
74 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
75 padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
76
770.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
78 - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
79
800.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
81 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
82 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
83 as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
84 Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
85 between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
86 fixable).
87 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
88
890.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
90 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
91 faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
92 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
93 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
94 observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
95 of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
96 pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
97 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
98 - fix for threaded perl.
99
1000.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
101 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
102 memory leaks.
103 - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
104 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
105 hopefully ignoring it "just works".
106
1070.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
108 - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
109 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
110
1110.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
112 - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
113 of new features.
114 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
115 Highly correct stuff, that is...
116 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
117 the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.
118
1190.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
120 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
121 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
122 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
123 so preselect it.
124
1250.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
126 - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost
127 on reading, reported by jason@nichego.net.
128
1290.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
130 - added a README.linux-glibc.
131 - new module Coro::Select.
132 - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
133 (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
134 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
135
1360.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
137 - made lazy context switching the default.
138 - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
139 was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
140 - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
141 - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
142
1430.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
144 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
145 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
146 - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
147 ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
148 - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
149 of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
150
1510.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
152 - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
153 - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
154 could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
155
1560.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
157 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
158 (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
159 without Event, which freezes).
160
1610.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
162 - Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.
163
1640.53 Tue Nov 27 21:11:13 CET 2001
165 - some tests for Event.
166 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
167 and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
168 new ones.
169 - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
170 - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.
171
1720.52 Tue Nov 6 21:36:18 CET 2001
173 - ported to cygwin (trivial).
174 patch by Gerrit P. Haase <gp@familiehaase.de>.
175 - small setjmp code fix by Sullivan.DanielJ@epamail.epa.gov.
176
1770.51 Thu Nov 1 20:39:01 CET 2001
178 - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
179 could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
180 error.
181 - added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
182 - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.
183 - implemented terminate with args + join.
184
1850.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001
186 - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.
187 - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
188 in various modules.
189 - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
190 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.
191
1920.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
193 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
194 inside Coro::Handle.
195 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
196 speed reasons.
197 - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
198 sjlj and ucontext should now work.
199 - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
200 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
201 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.
202 - fixed a bug that caused segfault when returning to main task
203 under some circumstances.
204 - other bugfixes.

4 - new method Coro::Handle::timeout. 207 - new method Coro::Handle::timeout.
5 - corrected speling of set...name to get...name in Coro::Socket. 208 - corrected speling of set...name to get...name in Coro::Socket.
6 - Coro::Socket::accept now returns a Coro::Socket, not a Coro::Handle. 209 - Coro::Socket::accept now returns a Coro::Socket, not a Coro::Handle.
7 - Coro::Handle now supports fileno and FILENO. 210 - Coro::Handle now supports fileno and FILENO.
