115.2
12 - Coro::Storable destroyed the prototypes of the functions it wrapped.
13 - export rouse_cb and rouse_wait by default now.
14 - fix various prototype mismatches in Coro::AnyEvent and Coro::Handle.
15 - new method $state->swap_sv.
16 - added section on "windows process emulation" to the manpage,
17 after a not-so-fruitful (nor-friendly) "discussion" with chip
18 salzenberg (discussion implies arguments, but his only arguments
19 were ad-hominems, one wonders why he started it in the first
20 place). I hope this explains it well enough for him to understand,
21 and maybe well enough for others to understand.
22 - use common::sense everywhere now.
23 - idle callbacks are no longer supported, use idle coros instead.
24 - print a thread listing when a deadlock is detected.
25
265.17 Sat Aug 22 23:09:31 CEST 2009
27 - work around a bug in the perl debugger causing crashes
28 when running under the debugger by marking _pool_handler as nodebug.
29 - speed up Coro::async considerably.
30 - try some hacks to get netbsd to work "more often" - their broken
31 setjmp/longjmp, ucontext *and* phtreads are really hard on Coro.
32 - convert Coro to AE 5.0 API.
33
345.162 Tue Jul 28 04:04:03 CEST 2009
35 - perl 5.8.2 is now minimum requirement.
36 - skip t/19_handle.t on broken windows perls.
37
385.161 Wed Jul 22 04:47:38 CEST 2009
39 - Coro::AnyEvent::poll could have a different prototype when EV was
40 used as backend (analyzed by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
41 - Coro::AnyEvent errornously initialised the event loop when loaded,
42 not on demand.
43 - try to workaround rare */t/01_unblock.t failures.
44
455.16 Tue Jul 21 01:44:37 CEST 2009
46 - Coro::AnyEvent failed to hook into the event loop
47 when no threads had been readied between detecting
48 the event loop and actually running it.
49 - considerably speed up Coro::Select by taking avdantage
50 of AnyEvent > 4.8 and some other optimisations.
51 - implement paragraph readline mode in Coro::Handle
52 (based on patches by Zsbán Ambrus).
53 - replace WSAEINPROGRESS by WSAEWOULDBLOCK (reported
54 and analyzed by Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
55 - clarified libcoro license and copyright.
56 - someone stole my EXTRA_META!!!
57 - implement Coro::Select::patch_pp_sselect and it's brother,
58 for hardcode select overriding.
59
605.151 Mon Jul 6 05:41:57 CEST 2009
61 - backport to windows process emulation code again (patch by
62 Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
63 - slightly update Coro::MakeMaker.
64
655.15 Tue Jun 30 10:28:06 CEST 2009
66 - deprecate Coro::Socket, document how to get ipv6 support via
67 AnyEvent::Socket instead.
68 - implement signal->wait ($cb) interface, similar to semaphores.
69 - work around SvOK not supporting getmagic, so we have to getmagic
70 to test for undef :/ (reported by Matthias Waldorf).
71 - load Coro::AnyEvent in all modules using AnyEvent.
72 - work around perl corrupting our internal data structures,
73 reported by Tokuhiro Matsuno.
74 - enable per-coroutine real and cpu time gathering
75 (Coro::State::enable_times).
76
775.14 Wed Jun 24 01:37:48 CEST 2009
78 - provide explicit functions to "cede" to the event loop in Coro::AnyEvent,
79 as this seems to have been a difficult concept (poll, sleep, idle,
80 idle_upto).
81 - add Coro::AnyEvent::readable/writable functions.
82 - clarify Coro::EV/Event/AnyEvent manpages.
83 - free per-thread global scalars in the thread calling ->cancel, to
84 avoid crashes when $_, $@ etc., are magical but some of those
85 had already been freed.
86 - "unexperimentalise" the callback interface for Coro::Semaphore.
87 - speed up ready queue management/context switching by using a linked
88 list instead of an array (~5-10%).
89 - implement "watch" command in Coro::Debug shells.
90 - for fun, implement time-slicing as an example in the manpage.
91 - if AnyEvent detects EV or Event, but we don't have Coro::EV or
92 Coro::Event, use the normal AnyEvent handling instead of dieing
93 (the same is true for Coro::Handle).
94 - properly document Coro::EV::timed_io_once.
95 - avoid unneccessary ->cancel calls in Coro::Handle.
96 - maybe make it work on mingw32 with win32 backend
97 (based on patch by Yasuhiro Matsumoto).
98
995.132 Fri May 29 09:00:39 CEST 2009
100 - do not keep a reference to the argument itself in
101 Coro::Semaphore::guard, as it could change later.
102 - support SO_RCVBUF/SO_SNDBUF nonstandard Coro::Socket options,
103 should support a prepare callback.
104
1055.131 Mon Mar 16 23:20:37 CET 2009
106 - implement and document Coro->suspend, Coro->resume.
107 - fix Coro::Select implementation to not (often) close
108 the passed file descriptors (testcase provided by pippijn).
109
1105.13 Mon Dec 15 21:51:42 CET 2008
111 - EXPERIMENTAL: implement dynamic winds (on_enter/on_leave).
112 - don't set diehook to C<undef> but instead to NULL, to avoid
113 spurious warnings.
114 - fix a lot of bugs in Coro::SemaphoreSet.
115 - Coro::SemaphoreSet will less often create a semaphore needlessly.
116 - add Coro::SemaphoreSet::count and wait methods.
117 - take advantage of the new Guard module.
118 - deprecate Coro::guard.
119 - try to fix the dreaded 01_unblock tests once more. I hate it when
120 testsuites need more fixing than the code they are supposed to test.
121 - croak in more cases when a required callback isn't resolvable.
122 - fix some minor issues in Coro::State->call/eval.
123 - use current coroutine context instead of a temporary one
124 when temporarily switching to another coroutine.
125 - do not call C-level on_destroy handlers during global destruction,
126 to avoid needless segfaults.
127
1285.12 Sun Dec 7 13:30:38 CET 2008
129 - add default config for MirOS, which seems to be a bug-to-bug
130 compatible fork of openbsd ("world domination by releasing
131 openbsd cvs before the openbsd folks do it" or so :).
132 - free_padlist did destroy the names pad, not good, but didn't
133 seem to bother perl - this could fix issues such as eval ""
134 inside a function called from multiple coroutines.
135 - use a different method to detect destruction time.
136 - be more careful when freeing padlists just before global
137 destruction.
138 - fixed and expanded the call/cc example.
139 - renamed _terminate to _coro_run.
140 - new method Coro::Channel->shutdown.
141 - try pthreads on openbsd <4.4 (broken sigaltstack, will
142 pthreads fare better?).
143 - be less picky about destroying "a" running coroutine.
144
1455.11 Tue Nov 25 21:49:05 CET 2008
146 - DEBUGGING in 5.10.0 is a mess: it constantly flags perfectly
147 working code with failed assertions, introducing more bugs than
148 it fixes, requiring elaborate workarounds :(
149
1505.1 Mon Nov 24 08:54:59 CET 2008
151 - wrote a small introductory tutorial - Coro::Intro.
8 - convert Coro::Timer and Coro::Select to rouse API. 152 - convert Coro::Timer, Coro::Select and Coro::Util to rouse API.
9 - Coro::Select did errornously dup the file descriptors 153 - Coro::Select did errornously dup the file descriptors
10 and didn't work with all AnyEvent backends. 154 and didn't work with all AnyEvent backends.
155 - Coro::Select wasn't imported correctly form Coro::LWP, causing blocking
156 LWP data transfers.
157 - disassociate c contexts from coro objects - this is agruably more
158 correct, but mostly allows sharing of cctxs between coro and state
159 objects, for added memory savings and speed increases.
160 - bumped $Coro::POOL_RSS up to 32kb by default.
161 - no longer set the optype to OP_CUSTOM, as B::* understandably
162 doesn't like this very much (and we *are* a type of entersub).
163 - implement state cloning, just to prove that call/cc can be done.
164 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent in Coro::Handle.
165 - wrap ->cancel calls in eval inside Coro::Handle as EV watchers
166 do not have this method (and don't need it either).
167 - speed up generic anyevent methods in Coro::Handle by using rouse
168 callbacks.
169 - allow coroutines in $Coro::IDLE, speeding up Coro::AnyEvent and
170 others. It also makes the debugger happier, as you can trace
171 through the idle threads now.
172 - add comppad_name* and hints ($^H, %^H) to per-thread variables.
173 - eg/event was pretty broken.
174 - better 5.8.6 compatibility.
11 175
125.0 Thu Nov 20 10:35:05 CET 2008 1765.0 Thu Nov 20 10:35:05 CET 2008
13 - NEW ARCHITECTURE: use the latest 4.x version if you experience 177 - NEW ARCHITECTURE: use the latest 4.x version if you experience
14 stability issues. 178 stability issues.
15 - bump API version to 7 - all dependents must be recompiled. 179 - bump API version to 7 - all dependents must be recompiled.
