85.0 11 - speed up ready queue management/context switching by using a linked
12 list instead of an array (~5-10%).
13 - implement "watch" command in Coro::Debug shells.
14 - for fun, implement time-slicing as an example in the manpage.
15
165.132 Fri May 29 09:00:39 CEST 2009
17 - do not keep a reference to the argument itself in
18 Coro::Semaphore::guard, as it could change later.
19 - support SO_RCVBUF/SO_SNDBUF nonstandard Coro::Socket options,
20 should support a prepare callback.
21
225.131 Mon Mar 16 23:20:37 CET 2009
23 - implement and document Coro->suspend, Coro->resume.
24 - fix Coro::Select implementation to not (often) close
25 the passed file descriptors (testcase provided by pippijn).
26
275.13 Mon Dec 15 21:51:42 CET 2008
28 - EXPERIMENTAL: implement dynamic winds (on_enter/on_leave).
29 - don't set diehook to C<undef> but instead to NULL, to avoid
30 spurious warnings.
31 - fix a lot of bugs in Coro::SemaphoreSet.
32 - Coro::SemaphoreSet will less often create a semaphore needlessly.
33 - add Coro::SemaphoreSet::count and wait methods.
34 - take advantage of the new Guard module.
35 - deprecate Coro::guard.
36 - try to fix the dreaded 01_unblock tests once more. I hate it when
37 testsuites need more fixing than the code they are supposed to test.
38 - croak in more cases when a required callback isn't resolvable.
39 - fix some minor issues in Coro::State->call/eval.
40 - use current coroutine context instead of a temporary one
41 when temporarily switching to another coroutine.
42 - do not call C-level on_destroy handlers during global destruction,
43 to avoid needless segfaults.
44
455.12 Sun Dec 7 13:30:38 CET 2008
46 - add default config for MirOS, which seems to be a bug-to-bug
47 compatible fork of openbsd ("world domination by releasing
48 openbsd cvs before the openbsd folks do it" or so :).
49 - free_padlist did destroy the names pad, not good, but didn't
50 seem to bother perl - this could fix issues such as eval ""
51 inside a function called from multiple coroutines.
52 - use a different method to detect destruction time.
53 - be more careful when freeing padlists just before global
54 destruction.
55 - fixed and expanded the call/cc example.
56 - renamed _terminate to _coro_run.
57 - new method Coro::Channel->shutdown.
58 - try pthreads on openbsd <4.4 (broken sigaltstack, will
59 pthreads fare better?).
60 - be less picky about destroying "a" running coroutine.
61
625.11 Tue Nov 25 21:49:05 CET 2008
63 - DEBUGGING in 5.10.0 is a mess: it constantly flags perfectly
64 working code with failed assertions, introducing more bugs than
65 it fixes, requiring elaborate workarounds :(
66
675.1 Mon Nov 24 08:54:59 CET 2008
68 - wrote a small introductory tutorial - Coro::Intro.
69 - convert Coro::Timer, Coro::Select and Coro::Util to rouse API.
70 - Coro::Select did errornously dup the file descriptors
71 and didn't work with all AnyEvent backends.
72 - Coro::Select wasn't imported correctly form Coro::LWP, causing blocking
73 LWP data transfers.
74 - disassociate c contexts from coro objects - this is agruably more
75 correct, but mostly allows sharing of cctxs between coro and state
76 objects, for added memory savings and speed increases.
77 - bumped $Coro::POOL_RSS up to 32kb by default.
78 - no longer set the optype to OP_CUSTOM, as B::* understandably
79 doesn't like this very much (and we *are* a type of entersub).
80 - implement state cloning, just to prove that call/cc can be done.
81 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent in Coro::Handle.
82 - wrap ->cancel calls in eval inside Coro::Handle as EV watchers
83 do not have this method (and don't need it either).
84 - speed up generic anyevent methods in Coro::Handle by using rouse
85 callbacks.
86 - allow coroutines in $Coro::IDLE, speeding up Coro::AnyEvent and
87 others. It also makes the debugger happier, as you can trace
88 through the idle threads now.
89 - add comppad_name* and hints ($^H, %^H) to per-thread variables.
90 - eg/event was pretty broken.
91 - better 5.8.6 compatibility.
