11 - backport to windows process emulation code again (patch by
12 Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
13
145.15 Tue Jun 30 10:28:06 CEST 2009
15 - deprecate Coro::Socket, document how to get ipv6 support via
16 AnyEvent::Socket instead.
17 - implement signal->wait ($cb) interface, similar to semaphores.
18 - work around SvOK not supporting getmagic, so we have to getmagic
19 to test for undef :/ (reported by Matthias Waldorf).
20 - load Coro::AnyEvent in all modules using AnyEvent.
21 - work around perl corrupting our internal data structures,
22 reported by Tokuhiro Matsuno.
23 - enable per-coroutine real and cpu time gathering
24 (Coro::State::enable_times).
25
265.14 Wed Jun 24 01:37:48 CEST 2009
27 - provide explicit functions to "cede" to the event loop in Coro::AnyEvent,
28 as this seems to have been a difficult concept (poll, sleep, idle,
29 idle_upto).
30 - add Coro::AnyEvent::readable/writable functions.
31 - clarify Coro::EV/Event/AnyEvent manpages.
32 - free per-thread global scalars in the thread calling ->cancel, to
33 avoid crashes when $_, $@ etc., are magical but some of those
34 had already been freed.
35 - "unexperimentalise" the callback interface for Coro::Semaphore.
36 - speed up ready queue management/context switching by using a linked
37 list instead of an array (~5-10%).
38 - implement "watch" command in Coro::Debug shells.
39 - for fun, implement time-slicing as an example in the manpage.
40 - if AnyEvent detects EV or Event, but we don't have Coro::EV or
41 Coro::Event, use the normal AnyEvent handling instead of dieing
42 (the same is true for Coro::Handle).
43 - properly document Coro::EV::timed_io_once.
44 - avoid unneccessary ->cancel calls in Coro::Handle.
45 - maybe make it work on mingw32 with win32 backend
46 (based on patch by Yasuhiro Matsumoto).
47
485.132 Fri May 29 09:00:39 CEST 2009
49 - do not keep a reference to the argument itself in
50 Coro::Semaphore::guard, as it could change later.
51 - support SO_RCVBUF/SO_SNDBUF nonstandard Coro::Socket options,
52 should support a prepare callback.
53
545.131 Mon Mar 16 23:20:37 CET 2009
55 - implement and document Coro->suspend, Coro->resume.
56 - fix Coro::Select implementation to not (often) close
57 the passed file descriptors (testcase provided by pippijn).
58
595.13 Mon Dec 15 21:51:42 CET 2008
60 - EXPERIMENTAL: implement dynamic winds (on_enter/on_leave).
61 - don't set diehook to C<undef> but instead to NULL, to avoid
62 spurious warnings.
63 - fix a lot of bugs in Coro::SemaphoreSet.
64 - Coro::SemaphoreSet will less often create a semaphore needlessly.
65 - add Coro::SemaphoreSet::count and wait methods.
66 - take advantage of the new Guard module.
67 - deprecate Coro::guard.
68 - try to fix the dreaded 01_unblock tests once more. I hate it when
69 testsuites need more fixing than the code they are supposed to test.
70 - croak in more cases when a required callback isn't resolvable.
71 - fix some minor issues in Coro::State->call/eval.
72 - use current coroutine context instead of a temporary one
73 when temporarily switching to another coroutine.
74 - do not call C-level on_destroy handlers during global destruction,
75 to avoid needless segfaults.
76
775.12 Sun Dec 7 13:30:38 CET 2008
78 - add default config for MirOS, which seems to be a bug-to-bug
79 compatible fork of openbsd ("world domination by releasing
80 openbsd cvs before the openbsd folks do it" or so :).
81 - free_padlist did destroy the names pad, not good, but didn't
82 seem to bother perl - this could fix issues such as eval ""
83 inside a function called from multiple coroutines.
84 - use a different method to detect destruction time.
85 - be more careful when freeing padlists just before global
86 destruction.
87 - fixed and expanded the call/cc example.
88 - renamed _terminate to _coro_run.
89 - new method Coro::Channel->shutdown.
90 - try pthreads on openbsd <4.4 (broken sigaltstack, will
91 pthreads fare better?).
92 - be less picky about destroying "a" running coroutine.
93
945.11 Tue Nov 25 21:49:05 CET 2008
95 - DEBUGGING in 5.10.0 is a mess: it constantly flags perfectly
96 working code with failed assertions, introducing more bugs than
97 it fixes, requiring elaborate workarounds :(
98
995.1 Mon Nov 24 08:54:59 CET 2008
100 - wrote a small introductory tutorial - Coro::Intro.
8 - convert Coro::Timer and Coro::Select to rouse API. 101 - convert Coro::Timer, Coro::Select and Coro::Util to rouse API.
9 - Coro::Select did errornously dup the file descriptors 102 - Coro::Select did errornously dup the file descriptors
10 and didn't work with all AnyEvent backends. 103 and didn't work with all AnyEvent backends.
104 - Coro::Select wasn't imported correctly form Coro::LWP, causing blocking
105 LWP data transfers.
106 - disassociate c contexts from coro objects - this is agruably more
107 correct, but mostly allows sharing of cctxs between coro and state
108 objects, for added memory savings and speed increases.
109 - bumped $Coro::POOL_RSS up to 32kb by default.
110 - no longer set the optype to OP_CUSTOM, as B::* understandably
111 doesn't like this very much (and we *are* a type of entersub).
112 - implement state cloning, just to prove that call/cc can be done.
113 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent in Coro::Handle.
114 - wrap ->cancel calls in eval inside Coro::Handle as EV watchers
115 do not have this method (and don't need it either).
116 - speed up generic anyevent methods in Coro::Handle by using rouse
117 callbacks.
118 - allow coroutines in $Coro::IDLE, speeding up Coro::AnyEvent and
119 others. It also makes the debugger happier, as you can trace
120 through the idle threads now.
121 - add comppad_name* and hints ($^H, %^H) to per-thread variables.
122 - eg/event was pretty broken.
123 - better 5.8.6 compatibility.
