106.39 Mon Jun 2 00:00:08 CEST 2014
11 - work around more incompatible changes in 5.20.
12
136.38 Sun Jun 1 21:54:23 CEST 2014
14 - check that perl slots actually have enough space to hold
15 interpreter variables.
16 - untested port to perl 5.19 (64 bit tmps indices) (reported
17 by Andreas König).
18 - croak when cancel is called without a thread context.
19
206.37 Tue Mar 4 13:27:33 CET 2014
21 - *sigh*, removed leftover debugging code from debugging a
22 perl bug, of all things.
23
246.36 Tue Mar 4 07:11:59 CET 2014
25 - semaphores would not clear the destroy hook when interrupted
26 by ->throw, causing segfaults or worse.
27 - ->throw on a thread waiting for a semaphore did not acquire
28 the semaphore, but also didn't wake up other waiters,
29 possibly causing a deadlock.
30 - "FATAL: $Coro::IDLE blocked itself" will now use Carp::confess
31 to report a full stacktrace, which should help find out
32 where the actual call is.
33 - "atomically" destroy data in slf_destroy, because it is
34 the right thing to do, just in case.
35 - disable ecb.h libm dependency, to compile on ancient systems
36 or under adverse conditions.
37
386.33 Mon Nov 18 11:26:27 CET 2013
39 - do not crash when freeing padlists with holes (in 5.18).
40 - tentative SVt_BIND 5.19 port/fix.
41
426.32 Tue Nov 5 15:35:35 CET 2013
43 - use a new algorithm to derive padlists for perl 5.18. The old
44 one could lead to 0-pointer accesses inside perl (reported
45 by Darin McBride).
46
476.31 Thu May 9 07:39:48 CEST 2013
48 - Coro::AIO requests would crash if the thread was ready'd
49 while the request was ongoing.
50
516.29 Wed May 8 02:55:18 CEST 2013
52 - when an on_destroy handler destructs the coro currently being
53 destructed a perl scalar could be accessed after being freed,
54 likely causing a crash.
55
566.28 Wed Mar 6 06:58:02 CET 2013
57 - clean remnants of existing __DIE__ and __WARN__ handlers so
58 they lose their magic and will not cause segfaults later
59 (testcase by Andrey Sagulin).
60 - improved Coro::State documentation a bit.
61 - Coro::Debug::command now flushes the output.
62 - add hack detection code for x32 abi, because the braindead slugs
63 who designed that made it look exactly like x86_64 without
64 providing proper compile time symbols to test for it. as a result,
65 this detection cannot work reliably.
66 - valgrind stack registering was broken.
67 - do not rely on Time::HiRes anymore in Coro::Debug.
68
696.23 Fri Dec 7 23:36:37 CET 2012
70 - use experimental fiber implementation on native windows
71 perls.
72 - use sizeof (void *) as multiplication factor for stack sizes,
73 to accomodate the totally braindamaged microsoft 64 bit "os".
74 - changed verifier host from win2k-ap510-32 to win7-sp516-32/64.
75 activeperl 5.16 crashes when PerlIO_define_layer is called due
76 to some bug in the perl dll, strawberry perl at least passes
77 the testsuite.
78 - implement Coro::Handle->peeraddr/host/port, for slightly
79 improved compatibility with LWP.
80 - implement 5.17 compatibility by almost blindly applying a
81 good-looking patch by Father Chrysostomos.
82 - move stack management functions into libcoro 3.
83 - libcoro version 3 "released".
84 - support magic values as timed_io_once args.
85 - recommend AnyEvent 7+ or EV 4+, also require EV
86 version 4 or newer for Coro::EV.
87
886.10 Tue Oct 9 01:14:27 CEST 2012
89 - updated ecb.h, it had a typo that caused it to not compile on many
90 big endian systems (reported by many people).
91 - disable memory fences in ecb.h to improve portability.
92
936.09 Sat Oct 6 23:25:02 CEST 2012
94 - Coro::EV I/O watchers were not interruptible by exceptions
95 (Coro::State::throw) (testcase by sten).
96 - ->throw now puts threads into the ready queue, as this seems to
97 be expected by existing code, and code that doesn't cope with spurious
98 wakeups needs fixing anyway.
99 - use fd -1 in mmap.
100 - cast I32 to int in error message printf.
101 - warn about broken so-called "hardened" kernels.
102
1036.08 Fri Apr 13 12:05:47 CEST 2012
104 - be more aggressive about exiting like perl does - formerly,
105 exiting from the non-main thread would not execute END blocks.
106
1076.07 Fri Nov 11 21:21:48 CET 2011
108 - work around a bug in PerlIO (setting $SIG{__WARN__} to a PVCV).
109 - update ecb.h.
110
1116.06 Mon Aug 8 23:59:48 CEST 2011
112 - cygwin unfortunately patches the stack at runtime, so we use the pthreads
113 backend, which is an order of magnitude slower. unfortunately, cygwins
114 pthread implementation isn't very complete either, so allocate the stack
115 twice just to be sure.
116 (note: cygwin also enables mymalloc, which is NOT THREADSAFE ON WINDOWS,
117 in its ithreaded perl - best recompile cygwin and use the 'w'indows
118 backend for much better performance. also disable ithreads for
119 even better performance...).
120
1216.05 Thu Aug 4 21:36:36 CEST 2011
122 - blush, condvar values would not be propagated from send to recv anymore
123 (reported by Chip Salzenberg).
124 - use exponential increase for the readline buffer length in
125 Coro::Handle. also reduce initial allocation to 1020 from 4096 bytes.
126
1276.04 Wed Aug 3 17:15:45 CEST 2011
128 - use even more efficient and more compatible condvars for
129 compatibility to AnyEvent 6.x :)
130 - more inconsequential ecb.h updates.
131
1326.03 Wed Aug 3 11:41:30 CEST 2011
133 - change how Coro patches AnyEvent condvars for compatibility to
134 AnyEvent 6.x.
135 - update ecb.h, to no longer include <pthread.h> in case WinNT.h
136 hasn't been included.
137
1386.02 Wed Jul 13 04:35:19 CEST 2011
139 - "improve portability to Gentoo" - gentoo manages to put perl variables
140 in memory areas that are farther than 2gb apart, which the jit couldn't
141 handle and barfed. now it's just a bit slower on gentoo and similar
142 systems.
143
1446.01 Sun Jul 3 12:31:14 CEST 2011
145 - workarounds are good, but the test for whether pthreads are used
146 was not good. this one should be better.
147 - check differently whether gcc generates cfi instructions itself.
148
1496.0 Wed Jun 29 19:43:35 CEST 2011
150 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: unreferenced coro objects will now be
151 destroyed and cleaned up automatically (e.g. async { schedule }).
152 - implement a JIT compiler for part of the thread switch code,
153 which gives a 50% speed improvement on threaded perls, and
154 about 4% on non-threaded perls (so threaded perls now finally
155 reach about half the speed of non-threaded perls).
156 - slightly modernise Coro::Intro, add section about rouse functions.
157 - avoid DEFSV and ERRSV, giving another 10% improvement
158 in thread switching.
159 - Coro::State->is_destroyed is now called is_zombie.
160 - implement a Coro->safe_cancel method that might fail, but
161 cancels in a "safer" way if it succeeds.
162 - add preliminary support for DEBUGGING perls.
163 - get rid of two hash-accesses when initialising a new Coro - this
164 speeds up coro creation by almost a factor of two.
165 - croak when a coro that is being cancelled tries to block
166 (e.g. while executing a guard block), instead of crashing or
167 deadlocking.
168 - use a more robust and also faster method to identify Coro::State
169 objects - speeds up everything a bit.
170 - implement Coro->cancel in XS for a 20% speed improvement, and to
171 be able to implement mutual cancellation.
172 - speed up context switches by a percent or two by more efficiently
173 allocating context stack entries.
174 - implement Coro->join and Coro->on_destroy in XS for a speedup and
175 a reduction in memory use.
176 - cancelling a coro while it itself is cancelling another coro is
177 now supported and working, instead of triggering an assertion.
178 - be a bit more crash-resistant when calling (buggy) on_destroy
179 callbacks (best effort).
180 - move on_destroy into the slf_frame, to allow extension slf
181 functions to have destructors.
182 - get rid if coro refcounting - simply crash in other interpreter
183 threads by nulling the pointers on clone.
184 - simplify warn/die hook handling when loading Coro - the convoluted
185 logic seems to be no longer neccessary.
186 - use libecb instead of our own home-grown gcc hacks.
187 - document alternatives to Coro::LWP. Please use them :)
188 - work around another mindless idiotic NEEDLESS bug in openbsd/mirbsds
189 sigaltstack. Really. wine suffers from it, erlang suffers from it,
190 and it's known since at least 2006.
191
1925.372 Wed Feb 23 06:14:30 CET 2011
193 - apparently mingw doesn't provide a working gettimeofday, try to
194 work around that by relying on Time::HiRes (indirectly brought to
195 my attention by Max Maischein).
196 - fix some portability issues when Time::HiRes was used.
197
1985.371 Mon Feb 21 14:36:08 CET 2011
199 - backport to windows process emulation code again.
200
2015.37 Sat Feb 19 07:49:44 CET 2011
202 - add a big "Coro thread life cycle" section to "man Coro".
203 - try a tentative workaround against the breakage that 5.13 has
204 introduced without depreciation period. sigh.
205 - no longer use Time::HiRes if gettimeofday is available, which
206 saves quite a lot of memory.
207
2085.36 Sun Feb 13 05:33:41 CET 2011
209 - automatically load Coro::Channel, Coro::RWLock, Coro::Semaphore,
210 Coro::SemaphoreSet, Coro::Signal and Coro::Specific on first "new"
211 method call.
212 - undocument Coro::Timer::sleep and obsolete whole module.
213 - optimise Coro::Timer::timeout memory and cpu usage.
214 - slightly updated Coro::Intro for recent changes.
215 - do not initialise PL_dirty anymore.
216
2175.25 Thu Nov 11 01:08:39 CET 2010
218 - try a different approach on netbsd - netbsd 5 finally has marginally
219 working pthreads, but still broken ucontext/sigaltstack.
220 - openbsd 4.8 finally got their act together, Coro works out of the box
221 with asm, setjmp and pthreads (no change, just informational).
222
2235.24 Sat Oct 23 11:27:12 CEST 2010
224 - port to the EV 4.0 API.
225 - work around bugs in mingw32, making strawberry perl work
226 out of the box.
227 - correctly modify Coro::AIO function prototypes
228 so that they reflect the "no optional parameters" rule.
229 - "ported" libcoro to C++.
230
2315.23 Mon May 17 18:50:42 CEST 2010
232 - be more resistant to ordering changes when initialising
233 Coro::AnyEvent, Coro::EV and Coro::Event (reported by Matthias
234 Waldorf).
235 - document that perl 5.12 deliberately removed support for cloning.
236
2375.22 Wed Apr 14 03:55:35 CEST 2010
238 - correctly return udnef on errors in Coro::Handle::read/write
239 (testcase by Marc Mims).
240 - convert Coro::Util into a "perl compatibility wrapper" - the functions
241 are less useful now, but are drop-in replacements for existing
242 functions, listing better alternatives in the documentation. This also
243 fixes a bug in Coro::LWP which naively substituted Socket::inet_aton
244 with Coro::Util::inet_aton.
245 - do not override $Coro::idle unconditionally in Coro.pm, as other
246 modules could have provided their own idle coro already
247 (for exmaple, Coro::AnyEvent).
248 - fix Coro::Util::gethost* functions.
249 - Coro::Timer corretcly exports it's symbols (reported by Hideki Yamamura).
250
2515.21 Wed Dec 16 07:19:51 CET 2009
252 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent when AnyEvent and Coro are used
253 together.
254 - add some examples on how to combine other event loops with Coro in
255 Coro::AnyEvent, and how to run it (and not to block). Seems to be
256 the most common source of confusion.
257 - try to catch people naively blocking in an event callback.
258 - work around the perl filehandle bug issue in conjunction with
259 older common::sense (as indirectly pointed out by ZSystem).
260 - clarify the "not from signal handlers" section.
261
2625.2 Sun Oct 4 14:54:24 CEST 2009
263 - Coro::Storable destroyed the prototypes of the functions it wrapped.
264 - export rouse_cb and rouse_wait by default now.
265 - fix various prototype mismatches in Coro::AnyEvent and Coro::Handle.
266 - new method $state->swap_sv.
267 - added section on "windows process emulation" to the manpage,
268 after a not-so-fruitful (nor-friendly) "discussion" with chip
269 salzenberg (discussion implies arguments, but his only arguments
270 were ad-hominems, one wonders why he started it in the first
271 place). I hope this explains it well enough for him to understand,
272 and maybe well enough for others to understand.
273 - use common::sense everywhere now.
274 - idle callbacks are no longer supported, use idle coros instead.
275 - print a thread listing when a deadlock is detected.
276
2775.17 Sat Aug 22 23:09:31 CEST 2009
278 - work around a bug in the perl debugger causing crashes
279 when running under the debugger by marking _pool_handler as nodebug.
280 - speed up Coro::async considerably.
281 - try some hacks to get netbsd to work "more often" - their broken
282 setjmp/longjmp, ucontext *and* phtreads are really hard on Coro.
283 - convert Coro to AE 5.0 API.
284
2855.162 Tue Jul 28 04:04:03 CEST 2009
286 - perl 5.8.2 is now minimum requirement.
287 - skip t/19_handle.t on broken windows perls.
288
2895.161 Wed Jul 22 04:47:38 CEST 2009
290 - Coro::AnyEvent::poll could have a different prototype when EV was
291 used as backend (analyzed by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
292 - Coro::AnyEvent errornously initialised the event loop when loaded,
293 not on demand.
294 - try to workaround rare */t/01_unblock.t failures.
295
2965.16 Tue Jul 21 01:44:37 CEST 2009
297 - Coro::AnyEvent failed to hook into the event loop
298 when no threads had been readied between detecting
299 the event loop and actually running it.
300 - considerably speed up Coro::Select by taking avdantage
301 of AnyEvent > 4.8 and some other optimisations.
302 - implement paragraph readline mode in Coro::Handle
303 (based on patches by Zsbán Ambrus).
304 - replace WSAEINPROGRESS by WSAEWOULDBLOCK (reported
305 and analyzed by Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
306 - clarified libcoro license and copyright.
307 - someone stole my EXTRA_META!!!
308 - implement Coro::Select::patch_pp_sselect and it's brother,
309 for hardcode select overriding.
310
3115.151 Mon Jul 6 05:41:57 CEST 2009
312 - backport to windows process emulation code again (patch by
313 Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
314 - slightly update Coro::MakeMaker.
315
3165.15 Tue Jun 30 10:28:06 CEST 2009
317 - deprecate Coro::Socket, document how to get ipv6 support via
318 AnyEvent::Socket instead.
319 - implement signal->wait ($cb) interface, similar to semaphores.
320 - work around SvOK not supporting getmagic, so we have to getmagic
321 to test for undef :/ (reported by Matthias Waldorf).
322 - load Coro::AnyEvent in all modules using AnyEvent.
323 - work around perl corrupting our internal data structures,
324 reported by Tokuhiro Matsuno.
325 - enable per-coroutine real and cpu time gathering
326 (Coro::State::enable_times).
327
3285.14 Wed Jun 24 01:37:48 CEST 2009
329 - provide explicit functions to "cede" to the event loop in Coro::AnyEvent,
330 as this seems to have been a difficult concept (poll, sleep, idle,
331 idle_upto).
332 - add Coro::AnyEvent::readable/writable functions.
333 - clarify Coro::EV/Event/AnyEvent manpages.
334 - free per-thread global scalars in the thread calling ->cancel, to
335 avoid crashes when $_, $@ etc., are magical but some of those
336 had already been freed.
337 - "unexperimentalise" the callback interface for Coro::Semaphore.
338 - speed up ready queue management/context switching by using a linked
339 list instead of an array (~5-10%).
340 - implement "watch" command in Coro::Debug shells.
341 - for fun, implement time-slicing as an example in the manpage.
342 - if AnyEvent detects EV or Event, but we don't have Coro::EV or
343 Coro::Event, use the normal AnyEvent handling instead of dieing
344 (the same is true for Coro::Handle).
345 - properly document Coro::EV::timed_io_once.
346 - avoid unneccessary ->cancel calls in Coro::Handle.
347 - maybe make it work on mingw32 with win32 backend
348 (based on patch by Yasuhiro Matsumoto).
349
3505.132 Fri May 29 09:00:39 CEST 2009
351 - do not keep a reference to the argument itself in
352 Coro::Semaphore::guard, as it could change later.
353 - support SO_RCVBUF/SO_SNDBUF nonstandard Coro::Socket options,
354 should support a prepare callback.
355
3565.131 Mon Mar 16 23:20:37 CET 2009
357 - implement and document Coro->suspend, Coro->resume.
358 - fix Coro::Select implementation to not (often) close
359 the passed file descriptors (testcase provided by pippijn).
360
3615.13 Mon Dec 15 21:51:42 CET 2008
362 - EXPERIMENTAL: implement dynamic winds (on_enter/on_leave).
363 - don't set diehook to C<undef> but instead to NULL, to avoid
364 spurious warnings.
365 - fix a lot of bugs in Coro::SemaphoreSet.
366 - Coro::SemaphoreSet will less often create a semaphore needlessly.
367 - add Coro::SemaphoreSet::count and wait methods.
368 - take advantage of the new Guard module.
369 - deprecate Coro::guard.
370 - try to fix the dreaded 01_unblock tests once more. I hate it when
371 testsuites need more fixing than the code they are supposed to test.
372 - croak in more cases when a required callback isn't resolvable.
373 - fix some minor issues in Coro::State->call/eval.
374 - use current coroutine context instead of a temporary one
375 when temporarily switching to another coroutine.
376 - do not call C-level on_destroy handlers during global destruction,
377 to avoid needless segfaults.
378
3795.12 Sun Dec 7 13:30:38 CET 2008
380 - add default config for MirOS, which seems to be a bug-to-bug
381 compatible fork of openbsd ("world domination by releasing
382 openbsd cvs before the openbsd folks do it" or so :).
383 - free_padlist did destroy the names pad, not good, but didn't
384 seem to bother perl - this could fix issues such as eval ""
385 inside a function called from multiple coroutines.
386 - use a different method to detect destruction time.
387 - be more careful when freeing padlists just before global
388 destruction.
389 - fixed and expanded the call/cc example.
390 - renamed _terminate to _coro_run.
391 - new method Coro::Channel->shutdown.
392 - try pthreads on openbsd <4.4 (broken sigaltstack, will
393 pthreads fare better?).
394 - be less picky about destroying "a" running coroutine.
395
3965.11 Tue Nov 25 21:49:05 CET 2008
397 - DEBUGGING in 5.10.0 is a mess: it constantly flags perfectly
398 working code with failed assertions, introducing more bugs than
399 it fixes, requiring elaborate workarounds :(
400
4015.1 Mon Nov 24 08:54:59 CET 2008
402 - wrote a small introductory tutorial - Coro::Intro.
8 - convert Coro::Timer, Coro::Select and Coro::Util to rouse API. 403 - convert Coro::Timer, Coro::Select and Coro::Util to rouse API.
9 - Coro::Select did errornously dup the file descriptors 404 - Coro::Select did errornously dup the file descriptors
10 and didn't work with all AnyEvent backends. 405 and didn't work with all AnyEvent backends.
406 - Coro::Select wasn't imported correctly form Coro::LWP, causing blocking
407 LWP data transfers.
408 - disassociate c contexts from coro objects - this is agruably more
409 correct, but mostly allows sharing of cctxs between coro and state
410 objects, for added memory savings and speed increases.
411 - bumped $Coro::POOL_RSS up to 32kb by default.
412 - no longer set the optype to OP_CUSTOM, as B::* understandably
413 doesn't like this very much (and we *are* a type of entersub).
414 - implement state cloning, just to prove that call/cc can be done.
415 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent in Coro::Handle.
416 - wrap ->cancel calls in eval inside Coro::Handle as EV watchers
417 do not have this method (and don't need it either).
418 - speed up generic anyevent methods in Coro::Handle by using rouse
419 callbacks.
420 - allow coroutines in $Coro::IDLE, speeding up Coro::AnyEvent and
421 others. It also makes the debugger happier, as you can trace
422 through the idle threads now.
423 - add comppad_name* and hints ($^H, %^H) to per-thread variables.
424 - eg/event was pretty broken.
425 - better 5.8.6 compatibility.
11 426
125.0 Thu Nov 20 10:35:05 CET 2008 4275.0 Thu Nov 20 10:35:05 CET 2008
13 - NEW ARCHITECTURE: use the latest 4.x version if you experience 428 - NEW ARCHITECTURE: use the latest 4.x version if you experience
14 stability issues. 429 stability issues.
15 - bump API version to 7 - all dependents must be recompiled. 430 - bump API version to 7 - all dependents must be recompiled.
… …
98 - ->throw is now supported on Coro::State objects. 513 - ->throw is now supported on Coro::State objects.
99 - clean up cctx creation code a bit. 514 - clean up cctx creation code a bit.
100 - entersub is actually a UNOP, not a LOGOP (not a bugfix). 515 - entersub is actually a UNOP, not a LOGOP (not a bugfix).
