11 - Coro::AnyEvent errornously initialised the event loop when loaded,
12 not on demand.
13
145.16 Tue Jul 21 01:44:37 CEST 2009
15 - Coro::AnyEvent failed to hook into the event loop
16 when no threads had been readied between detecting
17 the event loop and actually running it.
18 - considerably speed up Coro::Select by taking avdantage
19 of AnyEvent > 4.8 and some other optimisations.
20 - implement paragraph readline mode in Coro::Handle
21 (based on patches by Zsbán Ambrus).
22 - replace WSAEINPROGRESS by WSAEWOULDBLOCK (reported
23 and analyzed by Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
24 - clarified libcoro license and copyright.
25 - someone stole my EXTRA_META!!!
26 - implement Coro::Select::patch_pp_sselect and it's brother,
27 for hardcode select overriding.
28
295.151 Mon Jul 6 05:41:57 CEST 2009
30 - backport to windows process emulation code again (patch by
31 Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
32 - slightly update Coro::MakeMaker.
33
345.15 Tue Jun 30 10:28:06 CEST 2009
35 - deprecate Coro::Socket, document how to get ipv6 support via
36 AnyEvent::Socket instead.
37 - implement signal->wait ($cb) interface, similar to semaphores.
38 - work around SvOK not supporting getmagic, so we have to getmagic
39 to test for undef :/ (reported by Matthias Waldorf).
40 - load Coro::AnyEvent in all modules using AnyEvent.
41 - work around perl corrupting our internal data structures,
42 reported by Tokuhiro Matsuno.
43 - enable per-coroutine real and cpu time gathering
44 (Coro::State::enable_times).
45
465.14 Wed Jun 24 01:37:48 CEST 2009
47 - provide explicit functions to "cede" to the event loop in Coro::AnyEvent,
48 as this seems to have been a difficult concept (poll, sleep, idle,
49 idle_upto).
50 - add Coro::AnyEvent::readable/writable functions.
51 - clarify Coro::EV/Event/AnyEvent manpages.
52 - free per-thread global scalars in the thread calling ->cancel, to
53 avoid crashes when $_, $@ etc., are magical but some of those
54 had already been freed.
55 - "unexperimentalise" the callback interface for Coro::Semaphore.
56 - speed up ready queue management/context switching by using a linked
57 list instead of an array (~5-10%).
58 - implement "watch" command in Coro::Debug shells.
59 - for fun, implement time-slicing as an example in the manpage.
60 - if AnyEvent detects EV or Event, but we don't have Coro::EV or
61 Coro::Event, use the normal AnyEvent handling instead of dieing
62 (the same is true for Coro::Handle).
63 - properly document Coro::EV::timed_io_once.
64 - avoid unneccessary ->cancel calls in Coro::Handle.
65 - maybe make it work on mingw32 with win32 backend
66 (based on patch by Yasuhiro Matsumoto).
67
685.132 Fri May 29 09:00:39 CEST 2009
69 - do not keep a reference to the argument itself in
70 Coro::Semaphore::guard, as it could change later.
71 - support SO_RCVBUF/SO_SNDBUF nonstandard Coro::Socket options,
72 should support a prepare callback.
73
745.131 Mon Mar 16 23:20:37 CET 2009
75 - implement and document Coro->suspend, Coro->resume.
76 - fix Coro::Select implementation to not (often) close
77 the passed file descriptors (testcase provided by pippijn).
78
795.13 Mon Dec 15 21:51:42 CET 2008
80 - EXPERIMENTAL: implement dynamic winds (on_enter/on_leave).
81 - don't set diehook to C<undef> but instead to NULL, to avoid
82 spurious warnings.
83 - fix a lot of bugs in Coro::SemaphoreSet.
84 - Coro::SemaphoreSet will less often create a semaphore needlessly.
85 - add Coro::SemaphoreSet::count and wait methods.
86 - take advantage of the new Guard module.
87 - deprecate Coro::guard.
88 - try to fix the dreaded 01_unblock tests once more. I hate it when
89 testsuites need more fixing than the code they are supposed to test.
90 - croak in more cases when a required callback isn't resolvable.
91 - fix some minor issues in Coro::State->call/eval.
92 - use current coroutine context instead of a temporary one
93 when temporarily switching to another coroutine.
94 - do not call C-level on_destroy handlers during global destruction,
95 to avoid needless segfaults.
96
975.12 Sun Dec 7 13:30:38 CET 2008
98 - add default config for MirOS, which seems to be a bug-to-bug
99 compatible fork of openbsd ("world domination by releasing
100 openbsd cvs before the openbsd folks do it" or so :).
101 - free_padlist did destroy the names pad, not good, but didn't
102 seem to bother perl - this could fix issues such as eval ""
103 inside a function called from multiple coroutines.
104 - use a different method to detect destruction time.
105 - be more careful when freeing padlists just before global
106 destruction.
107 - fixed and expanded the call/cc example.
108 - renamed _terminate to _coro_run.
109 - new method Coro::Channel->shutdown.
110 - try pthreads on openbsd <4.4 (broken sigaltstack, will
111 pthreads fare better?).
112 - be less picky about destroying "a" running coroutine.
113
1145.11 Tue Nov 25 21:49:05 CET 2008
115 - DEBUGGING in 5.10.0 is a mess: it constantly flags perfectly
116 working code with failed assertions, introducing more bugs than
117 it fixes, requiring elaborate workarounds :(
118
1195.1 Mon Nov 24 08:54:59 CET 2008
120 - wrote a small introductory tutorial - Coro::Intro.
8 - convert Coro::Timer, Coro::Select and Coro::Util to rouse API. 121 - convert Coro::Timer, Coro::Select and Coro::Util to rouse API.
9 - Coro::Select did errornously dup the file descriptors 122 - Coro::Select did errornously dup the file descriptors
10 and didn't work with all AnyEvent backends. 123 and didn't work with all AnyEvent backends.
124 - Coro::Select wasn't imported correctly form Coro::LWP, causing blocking
125 LWP data transfers.
126 - disassociate c contexts from coro objects - this is agruably more
127 correct, but mostly allows sharing of cctxs between coro and state
128 objects, for added memory savings and speed increases.
129 - bumped $Coro::POOL_RSS up to 32kb by default.
130 - no longer set the optype to OP_CUSTOM, as B::* understandably
131 doesn't like this very much (and we *are* a type of entersub).
132 - implement state cloning, just to prove that call/cc can be done.
133 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent in Coro::Handle.
134 - wrap ->cancel calls in eval inside Coro::Handle as EV watchers
135 do not have this method (and don't need it either).
136 - speed up generic anyevent methods in Coro::Handle by using rouse
137 callbacks.
138 - allow coroutines in $Coro::IDLE, speeding up Coro::AnyEvent and
139 others. It also makes the debugger happier, as you can trace
140 through the idle threads now.
141 - add comppad_name* and hints ($^H, %^H) to per-thread variables.
142 - eg/event was pretty broken.
143 - better 5.8.6 compatibility.

14 stability issues. 147 stability issues.
15 - bump API version to 7 - all dependents must be recompiled. 148 - bump API version to 7 - all dependents must be recompiled.
