8 TODO: Coro/Intro 11TODO: make Coro::EV/event optional in Coro::AnyEvent
12 - clarify Coro::EV/Event/AnyEvent manpages: you have to actually run
13 the event loop somewhere to be able to poll for events
14 in the presence of ready threads.
15 - free per-thread global scalars in the thread calling ->cancel, to
16 avoid crashes when $_, $@ etc., are magical but some of those
17 had already been freed.
18 - speed up ready queue management/context switching by using a linked
19 list instead of an array (~5-10%).
20 - implement "watch" command in Coro::Debug shells.
21 - for fun, implement time-slicing as an example in the manpage.
22
235.132 Fri May 29 09:00:39 CEST 2009
24 - do not keep a reference to the argument itself in
25 Coro::Semaphore::guard, as it could change later.
26 - support SO_RCVBUF/SO_SNDBUF nonstandard Coro::Socket options,
27 should support a prepare callback.
28
295.131 Mon Mar 16 23:20:37 CET 2009
30 - implement and document Coro->suspend, Coro->resume.
31 - fix Coro::Select implementation to not (often) close
32 the passed file descriptors (testcase provided by pippijn).
33
345.13 Mon Dec 15 21:51:42 CET 2008
35 - EXPERIMENTAL: implement dynamic winds (on_enter/on_leave).
36 - don't set diehook to C<undef> but instead to NULL, to avoid
37 spurious warnings.
38 - fix a lot of bugs in Coro::SemaphoreSet.
39 - Coro::SemaphoreSet will less often create a semaphore needlessly.
40 - add Coro::SemaphoreSet::count and wait methods.
41 - take advantage of the new Guard module.
42 - deprecate Coro::guard.
43 - try to fix the dreaded 01_unblock tests once more. I hate it when
44 testsuites need more fixing than the code they are supposed to test.
45 - croak in more cases when a required callback isn't resolvable.
46 - fix some minor issues in Coro::State->call/eval.
47 - use current coroutine context instead of a temporary one
48 when temporarily switching to another coroutine.
49 - do not call C-level on_destroy handlers during global destruction,
50 to avoid needless segfaults.
51
525.12 Sun Dec 7 13:30:38 CET 2008
53 - add default config for MirOS, which seems to be a bug-to-bug
54 compatible fork of openbsd ("world domination by releasing
55 openbsd cvs before the openbsd folks do it" or so :).
56 - free_padlist did destroy the names pad, not good, but didn't
57 seem to bother perl - this could fix issues such as eval ""
58 inside a function called from multiple coroutines.
59 - use a different method to detect destruction time.
60 - be more careful when freeing padlists just before global
61 destruction.
62 - fixed and expanded the call/cc example.
63 - renamed _terminate to _coro_run.
64 - new method Coro::Channel->shutdown.
65 - try pthreads on openbsd <4.4 (broken sigaltstack, will
66 pthreads fare better?).
67 - be less picky about destroying "a" running coroutine.
68
695.11 Tue Nov 25 21:49:05 CET 2008
70 - DEBUGGING in 5.10.0 is a mess: it constantly flags perfectly
71 working code with failed assertions, introducing more bugs than
72 it fixes, requiring elaborate workarounds :(

10 - convert Coro::Timer, Coro::Select and Coro::Util to rouse API. 76 - convert Coro::Timer, Coro::Select and Coro::Util to rouse API.

12 and didn't work with all AnyEvent backends. 78 and didn't work with all AnyEvent backends.
79 - Coro::Select wasn't imported correctly form Coro::LWP, causing blocking
80 LWP data transfers.
13 - disassociate c contexts from coro objects - this is agruably more 81 - disassociate c contexts from coro objects - this is agruably more
14 correct, but mostly allows sharing of cctxs between coro and state 82 correct, but mostly allows sharing of cctxs between coro and state
15 objects, for added memory savings and speed increases. 83 objects, for added memory savings and speed increases.
16 - bumped $Coro::POOL_RSS up to 32kb by default. 84 - bumped $Coro::POOL_RSS up to 32kb by default.
17 - no longer set the optype to OP_CUSTOM, as B::* understandably 85 - no longer set the optype to OP_CUSTOM, as B::* understandably

24 callbacks. 92 callbacks.
25 - allow coroutines in $Coro::IDLE, speeding up Coro::AnyEvent and 93 - allow coroutines in $Coro::IDLE, speeding up Coro::AnyEvent and
26 others. It also makes the debugger happier, as you can trace 94 others. It also makes the debugger happier, as you can trace
