11 - implement signal->wait ($cb) interface, similar to semaphores.
12 - work around SvOK not supporting getmagic, so we have to getmagic
13 to test for undef :/ (reported by Matthias Waldorf).

155.14 Wed Jun 24 01:37:48 CEST 2009
16 - provide explicit functions to "cede" to the event loop in Coro::AnyEvent,
17 as this seems to have been a difficult concept (poll, sleep, idle,
18 idle_upto).
19 - add Coro::AnyEvent::readable/writable functions.
20 - clarify Coro::EV/Event/AnyEvent manpages.
21 - free per-thread global scalars in the thread calling ->cancel, to
22 avoid crashes when $_, $@ etc., are magical but some of those
23 had already been freed.
24 - "unexperimentalise" the callback interface for Coro::Semaphore.
25 - speed up ready queue management/context switching by using a linked
26 list instead of an array (~5-10%).
27 - implement "watch" command in Coro::Debug shells.
28 - for fun, implement time-slicing as an example in the manpage.
29 - if AnyEvent detects EV or Event, but we don't have Coro::EV or
30 Coro::Event, use the normal AnyEvent handling instead of dieing
31 (the same is true for Coro::Handle).
32 - properly document Coro::EV::timed_io_once.
33 - avoid unneccessary ->cancel calls in Coro::Handle.
34 - maybe make it work on mingw32 with win32 backend
35 (based on patch by Yasuhiro Matsumoto).
36
375.132 Fri May 29 09:00:39 CEST 2009
38 - do not keep a reference to the argument itself in
39 Coro::Semaphore::guard, as it could change later.
40 - support SO_RCVBUF/SO_SNDBUF nonstandard Coro::Socket options,
41 should support a prepare callback.
42
435.131 Mon Mar 16 23:20:37 CET 2009
44 - implement and document Coro->suspend, Coro->resume.
45 - fix Coro::Select implementation to not (often) close
46 the passed file descriptors (testcase provided by pippijn).
47
485.13 Mon Dec 15 21:51:42 CET 2008
49 - EXPERIMENTAL: implement dynamic winds (on_enter/on_leave).
50 - don't set diehook to C<undef> but instead to NULL, to avoid
51 spurious warnings.
52 - fix a lot of bugs in Coro::SemaphoreSet.
53 - Coro::SemaphoreSet will less often create a semaphore needlessly.
54 - add Coro::SemaphoreSet::count and wait methods.
55 - take advantage of the new Guard module.
56 - deprecate Coro::guard.
57 - try to fix the dreaded 01_unblock tests once more. I hate it when
58 testsuites need more fixing than the code they are supposed to test.
59 - croak in more cases when a required callback isn't resolvable.
60 - fix some minor issues in Coro::State->call/eval.
61 - use current coroutine context instead of a temporary one
62 when temporarily switching to another coroutine.
63 - do not call C-level on_destroy handlers during global destruction,
64 to avoid needless segfaults.
65
665.12 Sun Dec 7 13:30:38 CET 2008
67 - add default config for MirOS, which seems to be a bug-to-bug
68 compatible fork of openbsd ("world domination by releasing
69 openbsd cvs before the openbsd folks do it" or so :).
70 - free_padlist did destroy the names pad, not good, but didn't
71 seem to bother perl - this could fix issues such as eval ""
72 inside a function called from multiple coroutines.
73 - use a different method to detect destruction time.
74 - be more careful when freeing padlists just before global
75 destruction.
76 - fixed and expanded the call/cc example.
77 - renamed _terminate to _coro_run.
78 - new method Coro::Channel->shutdown.
79 - try pthreads on openbsd <4.4 (broken sigaltstack, will
80 pthreads fare better?).
81 - be less picky about destroying "a" running coroutine.
82
835.11 Tue Nov 25 21:49:05 CET 2008
84 - DEBUGGING in 5.10.0 is a mess: it constantly flags perfectly
85 working code with failed assertions, introducing more bugs than
86 it fixes, requiring elaborate workarounds :(
87
885.1 Mon Nov 24 08:54:59 CET 2008
89 - wrote a small introductory tutorial - Coro::Intro.
8 - convert Coro::Timer, Coro::Select and Coro::Util to rouse API. 90 - convert Coro::Timer, Coro::Select and Coro::Util to rouse API.
9 - Coro::Select did errornously dup the file descriptors 91 - Coro::Select did errornously dup the file descriptors
10 and didn't work with all AnyEvent backends. 92 and didn't work with all AnyEvent backends.
93 - Coro::Select wasn't imported correctly form Coro::LWP, causing blocking
94 LWP data transfers.
95 - disassociate c contexts from coro objects - this is agruably more
96 correct, but mostly allows sharing of cctxs between coro and state
97 objects, for added memory savings and speed increases.
11 - bumped $Coro::POOL_RSS up to 32kb by default. 98 - bumped $Coro::POOL_RSS up to 32kb by default.
12 - no longer set the optype to OP_CUSTOM, as B::* understandably 99 - no longer set the optype to OP_CUSTOM, as B::* understandably
13 doesn't like this very much (and we *are* a type of entersub). 100 doesn't like this very much (and we *are* a type of entersub).
101 - implement state cloning, just to prove that call/cc can be done.
102 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent in Coro::Handle.
103 - wrap ->cancel calls in eval inside Coro::Handle as EV watchers
104 do not have this method (and don't need it either).
105 - speed up generic anyevent methods in Coro::Handle by using rouse
106 callbacks.
107 - allow coroutines in $Coro::IDLE, speeding up Coro::AnyEvent and
108 others. It also makes the debugger happier, as you can trace
109 through the idle threads now.
110 - add comppad_name* and hints ($^H, %^H) to per-thread variables.
111 - eg/event was pretty broken.
14 - better 5.8.6 compatibility. 112 - better 5.8.6 compatibility.
