8 TODO: Coro/Intro 8TODO: suspend/resume, unready_all etc.
9 - implement and document Coro->suspend, Coro->resume.

115.13 Mon Dec 15 21:51:42 CET 2008
12 - EXPERIMENTAL: implement dynamic winds (on_enter/on_leave).
13 - don't set diehook to C<undef> but instead to NULL, to avoid
14 spurious warnings.
15 - fix a lot of bugs in Coro::SemaphoreSet.
16 - Coro::SemaphoreSet will less often create a semaphore needlessly.
17 - add Coro::SemaphoreSet::count and wait methods.
18 - take advantage of the new Guard module.
19 - deprecate Coro::guard.
20 - try to fix the dreaded 01_unblock tests once more. I hate it when
21 testsuites need more fixing than the code they are supposed to test.
22 - croak in more cases when a required callback isn't resolvable.
23 - fix some minor issues in Coro::State->call/eval.
24 - use current coroutine context instead of a temporary one
25 when temporarily switching to another coroutine.
26 - do not call C-level on_destroy handlers during global destruction,
27 to avoid needless segfaults.
28
295.12 Sun Dec 7 13:30:38 CET 2008
30 - add default config for MirOS, which seems to be a bug-to-bug
31 compatible fork of openbsd ("world domination by releasing
32 openbsd cvs before the openbsd folks do it" or so :).
33 - free_padlist did destroy the names pad, not good, but didn't
34 seem to bother perl - this could fix issues such as eval ""
35 inside a function called from multiple coroutines.
36 - use a different method to detect destruction time.
37 - be more careful when freeing padlists just before global
38 destruction.
39 - fixed and expanded the call/cc example.
40 - renamed _terminate to _coro_run.
41 - new method Coro::Channel->shutdown.
42 - try pthreads on openbsd <4.4 (broken sigaltstack, will
43 pthreads fare better?).
44 - be less picky about destroying "a" running coroutine.

465.11 Tue Nov 25 21:49:05 CET 2008
47 - DEBUGGING in 5.10.0 is a mess: it constantly flags perfectly
48 working code with failed assertions, introducing more bugs than
49 it fixes, requiring elaborate workarounds :(

515.1 Mon Nov 24 08:54:59 CET 2008
52 - wrote a small introductory tutorial - Coro::Intro.
9 - convert Coro::Timer, Coro::Select and Coro::Util to rouse API. 53 - convert Coro::Timer, Coro::Select and Coro::Util to rouse API.
10 - Coro::Select did errornously dup the file descriptors 54 - Coro::Select did errornously dup the file descriptors
11 and didn't work with all AnyEvent backends. 55 and didn't work with all AnyEvent backends.
56 - Coro::Select wasn't imported correctly form Coro::LWP, causing blocking
57 LWP data transfers.
12 - disassociate c contexts from coro objects - this is agruably more 58 - disassociate c contexts from coro objects - this is agruably more
13 correct, but mostly allows sharing of cctxs between coro and state 59 correct, but mostly allows sharing of cctxs between coro and state
14 objects, for added memory savings and speed increases. 60 objects, for added memory savings and speed increases.
15 - bumped $Coro::POOL_RSS up to 32kb by default. 61 - bumped $Coro::POOL_RSS up to 32kb by default.
16 - no longer set the optype to OP_CUSTOM, as B::* understandably 62 - no longer set the optype to OP_CUSTOM, as B::* understandably
17 doesn't like this very much (and we *are* a type of entersub). 63 doesn't like this very much (and we *are* a type of entersub).
18 - implement state cloning, just to prove that call/cc can be done. 64 - implement state cloning, just to prove that call/cc can be done.
65 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent in Coro::Handle.
66 - wrap ->cancel calls in eval inside Coro::Handle as EV watchers
67 do not have this method (and don't need it either).
68 - speed up generic anyevent methods in Coro::Handle by using rouse
69 callbacks.
70 - allow coroutines in $Coro::IDLE, speeding up Coro::AnyEvent and
71 others. It also makes the debugger happier, as you can trace
72 through the idle threads now.
73 - add comppad_name* and hints ($^H, %^H) to per-thread variables.
74 - eg/event was pretty broken.
19 - better 5.8.6 compatibility. 75 - better 5.8.6 compatibility.
