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