5
63.
7 - give a better error message on deadlock.
8 - enhanced testsuite.

103.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006
11 - forgot to include Coro::Timer.
12
133.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
14 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
15 the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
16 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
17 pool (size currently hardcoded).
18 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
19 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
20 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
21 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
22 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
23 check for changed watchers.
24 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
25 per event.
26 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
27 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
28 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
29 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
30 some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
31 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
32 directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
33 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
34 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
35 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
36 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
37 - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
38 - updated to newest libcoro.
39 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
40 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
41 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
42 and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
43 if somebody asks for it :)
44 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
45 spuriously without the event having happened.
46
472.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
48 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
49 use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
50 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
51 make LWP non-blocking.
52 - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
53 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
54 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
55 - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
56 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
57 - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
58 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
59 by LWP(!!).
60 - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
61 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
62 kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
63 did already.
64
652.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
66 - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
67 zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
68 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
69 (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
70 - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
71 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
72 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
73 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
74
752.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
76 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
77
781.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
79
801.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
81 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
82 mark & sweep gc run.
83 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
84
851.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
86 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
87 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
88
891.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
90 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
91 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
92 wrong package.
93 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
94 perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
95 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
96 normally uses.
97 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
98
991.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
100 - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
101
1021.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
103 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
104 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
105 - strict'ify some modules.
106 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
107 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
108 - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
109
1101.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
111 - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
112 when 'l'inux method was used.
113
1141.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
115 - some portability fixes/workarounds.
116
1171.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
118 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
119 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
120 Coro::State::flush method.
121 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
122
1231.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
124 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
125 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
126 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
127 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
128 - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.
129
1301.11 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
131 - change of contact address.
132
1331.1 Tue Feb 22 20:51:16 CET 2005
134 - support [l]inux method on amd64.
135 - allow some context switches while compiling/eval'ing.
136
1371.0 Tue Aug 10 03:47:27 CEST 2004
138 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
139 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
140 padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
141
1420.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
143 - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
144
1450.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
146 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
147 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
148 as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
149 Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
150 between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
151 fixable).
152 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
153
1540.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
155 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
156 faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
157 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
158 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
159 observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
160 of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
161 pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
162 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
163 - fix for threaded perl.
164
1650.9 Sun Nov 23 04:32:39 CET 2003
166 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
167 memory leaks.
168 - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
169 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
170 hopefully ignoring it "just works".
171
1720.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
173 - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
174 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
175
1760.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
177 - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
178 of new features.
179 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
180 Highly correct stuff, that is...
181 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
182 the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.
183
1840.652 Thu May 8 02:54:46 CEST 2003
185 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
186 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
187 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
188 so preselect it.
189
1900.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003
191 - fix a bug in Coro::Handle where some bytes could get lost
192 on reading, reported by jason@nichego.net.
193
1940.65 Sun Mar 23 00:08:26 CET 2003
195 - added a README.linux-glibc.
196 - new module Coro::Select.
197 - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.
198 (I never claimed that I know what I am doing ;).
199 - set default to setjmp/longjmp on non-x86-linux.
200
2010.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002
202 - made lazy context switching the default.
203 - fixed the bug where SemaphoreSet::guard
204 was the same as timed_guard and timed_guard was missing.
205 - fix a memleak in Coro::Timer.
206 - reclassified context sharing as not experimental.
207
2080.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
209 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
210 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
211 - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
212 ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
213 - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
214 of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
215
2160.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
217 - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
218 - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
219 could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
220
2210.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
222 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
223 (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
224 without Event, which freezes).
225
2260.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001
227 - Fixed a bug in SemaphoreSet::timed_down.
228
2290.53 Tue Nov 27 21:11:13 CET 2001
230 - some tests for Event.
231 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object
232 and not the reference. might fix a few bugs, certainly did introduce
233 new ones.
234 - Coro::Timer (independent of Event).
235 - new timed_wait functions for Coro::Signal, Semaphore, SemaphoreSet.
236
2370.52 Tue Nov 6 21:36:18 CET 2001
238 - ported to cygwin (trivial).
239 patch by Gerrit P. Haase <gp@familiehaase.de>.
240 - small setjmp code fix by Sullivan.DanielJ@epamail.epa.gov.
241
2420.51 Thu Nov 1 20:39:01 CET 2001
243 - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
244 could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
245 error.
246 - added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
247 - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.
248 - implemented terminate with args + join.
249
2500.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001
251 - fixed "print" on a Coro::Handle. The print method worked.
252 - small tweaks (seem to reduce memory consumption a lot)
253 in various modules.
254 - splendid use of "no warnings" scattered throughout.
255 - added Coro::Handle::rbuf, fixed Coro::Handle::fh.
256
2570.49 Sun Sep 16 02:42:45 CEST 2001
4 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed 258 - changed some method calls to function calls for speed
5 inside Coro::Handle. 259 inside Coro::Handle.
6 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for 260 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
7 speed reasons. 261 speed reasons.
8 - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?". 262 - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
