3TODO: check wether stack-sharing is still effective
4TODO: more effective stack sharing by having one "default stack" for "simple" coroutines?
5TODO: verify exception frame changes and force stack copies?
6
7 - minor documentation cleanup.
8 - verys minor optimisations and cleanups.

102.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
11 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
12 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
13 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
14 make LWP non-blocking.
15 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
16 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
17 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
18 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
19 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
20 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
21 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
22 by LWP(!!).
23 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
24 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
25 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
26 did already.
27
282.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
29 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
30 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
31 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
32 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
33 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
34 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
35 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
36 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
37
382.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
39 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
40
411.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
42
431.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
44 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
45 mark & sweep gc run.
46 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
47
481.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
49 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
50 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
51
521.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
53 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
54 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
55 wrong package.
56 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
57 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
58 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
59 normally uses.
60 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
61
621.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
63 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
64
651.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
66 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
67 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
68 - strict'ify some modules.
69 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
70 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
71 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
72
731.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
74 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
75 when 'l'inux method was used.
76
771.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
78 - some portability fixes/workarounds.
79
801.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
81 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
82 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
83 Coro::State::flush method.
84 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
85
861.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
87 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
88 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
89 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
90 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
91 - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.
92
931.11 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
94 - change of contact address.
95
961.1 Tue Feb 22 20:51:16 CET 2005
97 - support [l]inux method on amd64.
98 - allow some context switches while compiling/eval'ing.
99
1001.0 Tue Aug 10 03:47:27 CEST 2004
101 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
102 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
103 padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
104
1050.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
106 - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
107
1080.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
109 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
110 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
111 as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
112 Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
113 between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
114 fixable).
115 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
116
1170.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
118 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
119 faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
120 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
121 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
122 observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
123 of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
124 pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
125 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
126 - fix for threaded perl.
127
1280.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
129 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
130 memory leaks.
131 - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
132 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
133 hopefully ignoring it "just works".
134
1350.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
136 - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
137 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
138
1390.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
140 - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
141 of new features.
142 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
143 Highly correct stuff, that is...
144 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
145 the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.
146
1470.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
148 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
149 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
150 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
151 so preselect it.
152
1530.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
154 - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost
155 on reading, reported by jason@nichego.net.
156
1570.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
158 - added a README.linux-glibc.
159 - new module Coro::Select.
160 - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
161 (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
162 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
163
1640.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
165 - made lazy context switching the default.
166 - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
167 was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
168 - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
169 - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
170
1710.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
172 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
173 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
174 - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
175 ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
176 - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
177 of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
178
1790.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
180 - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
181 - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
182 could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
183
1840.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
185 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
186 (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
187 without Event, which freezes).
188
1890.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
190 - Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.
191
1920.53 Tue Nov 27 21:11:13 CET 2001
193 - some tests for Event.
194 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
195 and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
196 new ones.
197 - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
198 - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.
199
2000.52 Tue Nov 6 21:36:18 CET 2001
201 - ported to cygwin (trivial).
202 patch by Gerrit P. Haase <gp@familiehaase.de>.
203 - small setjmp code fix by Sullivan.DanielJ@epamail.epa.gov.
204
2050.51 Thu Nov 1 20:39:01 CET 2001
206 - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
207 could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
208 error.
209 - added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
210 - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.
211 - implemented terminate with args + join.
212
2130.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001
214 - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.
215 - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
216 in various modules.
217 - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
218 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.
219
2200.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
221 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
222 inside Coro::Handle.
223 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
224 speed reasons.
225 - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
226 sjlj and ucontext should now work.
227 - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
228 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
229 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.
230 - fixed a bug that caused segfault when returning to main task
231 under some circumstances.
232 - other bugfixes.
2 233
30.45 Sun Sep 2 02:54:01 CEST 2001 2340.45 Sun Sep 2 02:54:01 CEST 2001
4 - new method Coro::Handle::timeout. 235 - new method Coro::Handle::timeout.
5 - corrected speling of set...name to get...name in Coro::Socket. 236 - corrected speling of set...name to get...name in Coro::Socket.
6 - Coro::Socket::accept now returns a Coro::Socket, not a Coro::Handle. 237 - Coro::Socket::accept now returns a Coro::Socket, not a Coro::Handle.
