11 - deprecate Coro::Socket, document how to get ipv6 support via
12 AnyEvent::Socket instead.
13 - implement signal->wait ($cb) interface, similar to semaphores.
14 - work around SvOK not supporting getmagic, so we have to getmagic
15 to test for undef :/ (reported by Matthias Waldorf).
16 - load Coro::AnyEvent in all modules using AnyEvent.
17 - work around perl corrupting our internal data structures,
18 reported by Tokuhiro Matsuno.
19 - enable per-coroutine real and cpu time gathering
20 (Coro::State::enable_times).
21
225.14 Wed Jun 24 01:37:48 CEST 2009
23 - provide explicit functions to "cede" to the event loop in Coro::AnyEvent,
24 as this seems to have been a difficult concept (poll, sleep, idle,
25 idle_upto).
26 - add Coro::AnyEvent::readable/writable functions.
27 - clarify Coro::EV/Event/AnyEvent manpages.
28 - free per-thread global scalars in the thread calling ->cancel, to
29 avoid crashes when $_, $@ etc., are magical but some of those
30 had already been freed.
31 - "unexperimentalise" the callback interface for Coro::Semaphore.
32 - speed up ready queue management/context switching by using a linked
33 list instead of an array (~5-10%).
34 - implement "watch" command in Coro::Debug shells.
35 - for fun, implement time-slicing as an example in the manpage.
36 - if AnyEvent detects EV or Event, but we don't have Coro::EV or
37 Coro::Event, use the normal AnyEvent handling instead of dieing
38 (the same is true for Coro::Handle).
39 - properly document Coro::EV::timed_io_once.
40 - avoid unneccessary ->cancel calls in Coro::Handle.
41 - maybe make it work on mingw32 with win32 backend
42 (based on patch by Yasuhiro Matsumoto).
43
445.132 Fri May 29 09:00:39 CEST 2009
45 - do not keep a reference to the argument itself in
46 Coro::Semaphore::guard, as it could change later.
47 - support SO_RCVBUF/SO_SNDBUF nonstandard Coro::Socket options,
48 should support a prepare callback.
49
505.131 Mon Mar 16 23:20:37 CET 2009
51 - implement and document Coro->suspend, Coro->resume.
52 - fix Coro::Select implementation to not (often) close
53 the passed file descriptors (testcase provided by pippijn).
54
555.13 Mon Dec 15 21:51:42 CET 2008
56 - EXPERIMENTAL: implement dynamic winds (on_enter/on_leave).
57 - don't set diehook to C<undef> but instead to NULL, to avoid
58 spurious warnings.
59 - fix a lot of bugs in Coro::SemaphoreSet.
60 - Coro::SemaphoreSet will less often create a semaphore needlessly.
61 - add Coro::SemaphoreSet::count and wait methods.
62 - take advantage of the new Guard module.
63 - deprecate Coro::guard.
64 - try to fix the dreaded 01_unblock tests once more. I hate it when
65 testsuites need more fixing than the code they are supposed to test.
66 - croak in more cases when a required callback isn't resolvable.
67 - fix some minor issues in Coro::State->call/eval.
68 - use current coroutine context instead of a temporary one
69 when temporarily switching to another coroutine.
70 - do not call C-level on_destroy handlers during global destruction,
71 to avoid needless segfaults.
72
735.12 Sun Dec 7 13:30:38 CET 2008
74 - add default config for MirOS, which seems to be a bug-to-bug
75 compatible fork of openbsd ("world domination by releasing
76 openbsd cvs before the openbsd folks do it" or so :).
77 - free_padlist did destroy the names pad, not good, but didn't
78 seem to bother perl - this could fix issues such as eval ""
79 inside a function called from multiple coroutines.
80 - use a different method to detect destruction time.
81 - be more careful when freeing padlists just before global
82 destruction.
83 - fixed and expanded the call/cc example.
84 - renamed _terminate to _coro_run.
85 - new method Coro::Channel->shutdown.
86 - try pthreads on openbsd <4.4 (broken sigaltstack, will
87 pthreads fare better?).
88 - be less picky about destroying "a" running coroutine.
89
905.11 Tue Nov 25 21:49:05 CET 2008
91 - DEBUGGING in 5.10.0 is a mess: it constantly flags perfectly
92 working code with failed assertions, introducing more bugs than
93 it fixes, requiring elaborate workarounds :(
94
955.1 Mon Nov 24 08:54:59 CET 2008
96 - wrote a small introductory tutorial - Coro::Intro.
8 - convert Coro::Timer, Coro::Select and Coro::Util to rouse API. 97 - convert Coro::Timer, Coro::Select and Coro::Util to rouse API.
9 - Coro::Select did errornously dup the file descriptors 98 - Coro::Select did errornously dup the file descriptors
10 and didn't work with all AnyEvent backends. 99 and didn't work with all AnyEvent backends.
100 - Coro::Select wasn't imported correctly form Coro::LWP, causing blocking
101 LWP data transfers.
11 - disassociate c contexts from coro objects - this is agruably more 102 - disassociate c contexts from coro objects - this is agruably more
12 correct, but mostly allows sharing of cctxs between coro and state 103 correct, but mostly allows sharing of cctxs between coro and state
13 objects, for added memory savings and speed increases. 104 objects, for added memory savings and speed increases.
14 - bumped $Coro::POOL_RSS up to 32kb by default. 105 - bumped $Coro::POOL_RSS up to 32kb by default.
15 - no longer set the optype to OP_CUSTOM, as B::* understandably 106 - no longer set the optype to OP_CUSTOM, as B::* understandably
16 doesn't like this very much (and we *are* a type of entersub). 107 doesn't like this very much (and we *are* a type of entersub).
17 - implement state cloning, just to prove that call/cc can be done. 108 - implement state cloning, just to prove that call/cc can be done.
109 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent in Coro::Handle.
110 - wrap ->cancel calls in eval inside Coro::Handle as EV watchers
111 do not have this method (and don't need it either).
112 - speed up generic anyevent methods in Coro::Handle by using rouse
113 callbacks.
114 - allow coroutines in $Coro::IDLE, speeding up Coro::AnyEvent and
115 others. It also makes the debugger happier, as you can trace
116 through the idle threads now.
117 - add comppad_name* and hints ($^H, %^H) to per-thread variables.
118 - eg/event was pretty broken.
18 - better 5.8.6 compatibility. 119 - better 5.8.6 compatibility.
